    I love how you only chose characters with the naming convention "Name The Species". Not only does it fit and is funny, but in many cases it's also just a goofy naming convention. Like, "Name The Species" is comically uncreative and yet powerful at the same time, I don't know, I just really like it for some reason.

    Dude ... this video is utter perfection: the editing, the analysis, the humor of the ocs with their bios. I know that people who make actually good content are often not as succesfull on this platform as they deserve - but I am dumbstruck that you have so few subscribers. If I would have had to make a guess based only on this gem, I would have confidently estimated that you sit at the very least at around 10.000.

    To be fair, SEGA was influenced by Mickey Mouse and the rubber-hose cartoon animals of other early Disney shorts. Especially using the iconic three-circles-make-the-mouse idea for Sonic's familiar jagged profile.

    My personal favorite official Sonic character design is Mimic, who is an octopus. The reason why I love it is because he most likely doesn’t have a torso, or at least it is his head because octopus anatomy, and the large cloak he wears covers up where the torso should so they can use the format most characters have to use.
    He’s from the IDW comics and is one of many characters original to the series. This is actually canon to the games and is general I fun read. I recommend it whether you like modern Sonic or not.

    I'm about to enter a new chapter in my life, I'm entering a 3D animation school and I've never drawn anything since the third grade but this is the path I want to go my life has been heavily backed by so much Iconic stuff like Disney Pixar movies, video games cartoons and anime. I have to submit a portfolio of things I've drawn in the past and man unless I either go back in time and fetch my drawings or dumpster dive in whatever garbage dump they're in right now after so many years, I have to do something quick. The portfolio's due on the third of November. I thought to myself why not create a Mobian/sonic oc I have an idea but the thing is .. nobody taught me how to draw. Watching this video for something so serious in my life just shows me how fun and unserious art can be. I'm probably going to suffer learning how to draw in the beginning but I'm not gonna give up, I want produce content just like this video. I'm subbing thank you so much.
    Edit: also do you have any videos for absolute beginers such as myself just to get the basics in for drawing coz uhh times kinda ticking for me on that portfolio I mentioned earlier 😅😅

      I'm curious, is this a different Mickey Mouse Sonic to mine? Or is someone selling the drawing from this video on a shirt somewhere?

      @@TheHarryGoldShow Oh! I’m surprised you replied! Thanks, and not really?
      It’s a bootleg graphic T-shirt so mostly just printed from somewhere else, as I don’t remember all the Mickey Mouse’s from this video but it had a similar design to yours,
      but In a SA1 Sonic pointing at himself pose. There was even a green Sonic team logo printed and an old classic cartoony style of Sonic, If I ever get the chance I’ll you a photo. But it does have some pretty cool pants with normal Sonic on it.
