Placed in Cartoon Fanart, because Cosmo has yet to appear in any games, that I know of.


Alright, I warn you of ranting-madness.

I mean, serious ranting.

Those of you who know me rather well--~th351, ~Az-The-Dragon, ~Chaos-Flower, and footloads of other people who talk to me on a regular basis--know that I have an undying, unlimited, unimaginable hatred for the show Sonic X which appears on 4Kids Saturday mornings.

And this is not an elitist Sonic-fan hatred, where they've never watched the show. I have watched the show, I forced myself to watched every. Single. Episode. And I still never really found any love for it. I will always adore the Sonic cast themselves, even Amy, who all my friends also remember I have a distinct...fear...of her. But Sonic X is something I simply cannot bring myself to enjoy.

Why?

Personally, I can find absolute zero love for Chris, most of all. And when season two first aired--season three in Japan, and several other countries I believe--introducing Cosmo, I found myself feeling the same abhoration for the little plant girl, all the way up to her death. Though not for the same reason.

I felt she had great potential as a character. She has an entirely unknown society behind her, one I've taken as somewhat matriarchal, but they don't give her much personality that I can really tap into. I like personality. Once I get a taste of it, I go absolutely bonkers.

So I pieced together my own version of her. And here she is. A dreamy child who only wanted to be left alone to imagine and play, until she loses everyone dear to her. A young girl in a strange world, frightened and lost. Not the composed little flower we see in Sonic X but an actual child, which is what she's supposed to be. To even be considered a potential love interest for Tails, she'd have to be aged between six and eleven or so, meaning she needs to think and act like a child. So my version does.

This image was inspired by the song Gomenasai by the Russian pop duo t.A.T.u. because it reminded me of how I believe Cosmo should be. Uncertain, afraid, apologetic, and forever insecure in a very lonely world. I'm certain my entire family is grateful I've finally finished the picture, since I played the song a grand total of four hundred and fifteen times while working on it.

So I'm done babbling.

Full view is a nice thing to do for me, yes.

As much as I am a fan of Sonic throughout the years, I must say that I agree with you as far as the series goes. Although I have yet to see all of the episodes, I've always felt as if the characters could be delved into more as far as personality goes. That's why I must commend you for going beyond what the "story" offered to the public and went along with your version of who Cosmo is. That and you can't steal this pose from any screenshot...or I don't think so, lol.

Artistic wise, your coloring technique is gorgeous! I'm in love with how you cast shadowed the entire picture, the shading is dead on and the white highlights add for a very nice 3-dimensional effect. I'm rather shocked that all of the Sonic fanboys have yet to discover this wonderful piece, because I can definately see this as one of the most favorited pieces amongst them.

Even though I am sick and tired of all of these new characters, such as Cosmo, coming into the spot light for little or no reason (and am rather glad that she died...), I must say this: If I had to rank all of the favorites that I have ever faved in DA, this would be in the top 3. Not because it's Sonic related, but because of the way you handled this piece artistically, which proves that you know what you're doing, and your creativity to take a mediocre character and make them more personified shows that you care about what you choose to draw.

All in all, wrapping up this big-ol' comment into just two words: Great job. :)

Aw, she's so cute and so hurt at the same time. I really like your version of her. She kind of reminds me of myself when I was a little younger (even a little bit now, but not so much). I also love the TATU song, which is a slight coincidence.

I understand what it's like to play one single song throughout the process of a whole picture. (I've done that before, and it was quite fun) I think I'll fave this picture, too...
I just can't get enough of this picture! I totally agree with you, as I'm sure most people do. I really loved this character, I just never understood why they introduced her if they were gonna get 'rid' of her. She definetly needed more personality. But anyway, awesome job! :clap:
aww she sacred. i wish i can :hug: her
