Although I do not spend a lot of time on here anymore, I feel it would be appropriate to explain who I am a little bit.
I am a human living on the west coast of the United States. Sound interesting yet? More then likely not.
I was born and raised and spent most of my days in a little area called Gravity Falls, Oregon (Okay well not really but I did grow up and still am in Oregon).
Time to get down to the meat of it. At 8 years old I was a little artist of sorts. By that I mean I sucked balls at drawing but it was something I liked to do at that age.
Then at about 11ish I also wanted to make my own Video Games. So my mom enlists me in a Game Maker class and I go on to make such great and memorable titles such as "Sonic The Hedgehog 2 Upgraded" and "Sonic Pinko". (Oh ya, I'M ROLLING IN THE POPULARITY)
In all seriousness though, I'm more remembered for creating "Sonic Omega" and "Wall-E The Fangame" only the latter of which I still consider any good.
Now I kinda do a mix of both. Sketch when I only have an hour or less to spare and program / conceive ideas when I've got more time. (So in other words, I lay in bed for hours on end every night brainstorming against my will.)
My biggest interests are pretty noticeable if you look around a little bit. Video Games and characters from them like Mario, Sonic and Kirby are favorites of mine. I generally consider myself a "Retro" gamer and both collect and play a lot of older games and systems. I'm a fan of animation or "cartoons / kids shows" as some would prefer. I particularly enjoy Pixar films, as well as television shows such as Animaniacs, Gravity Falls and My Little Pony: Friendship Is Magic. (I can't wait to be told how gay I am for liking a show for what I see is good writing, decent animation and characters with depth. BUT IT'S GAY BECAUSE IT STARS RAINBOW COLORED PONIES)
What ever happened to "not judging a book by it's cover"? Has no one ever actually seen Beauty & the Beast?
Anyways, I digress.
I one day home to aspire to become a Game Designer of some sort. I mean I'd love to sculpt a game's world, but I'd hate to be hired to basically replicate someone else's look or just be told "make it as lifelike as possible" because unfortunately a lot of games these days seem to be on that side of the spectrum.
Right now though I'm just aiming low - Graphic Designer is where I want my journey to begin, with the hope that someday I can get my foot in the door of the games industry.
A lot of the games and art works can be found on my personal site here: classicteam.110mb.com

www.anipan.com/#!13285 Because Anipan looks to have a lot of potential.
Also, the lack of uploaded art is partially due to laziness, and also my lack of a scanner. If I thought anyone actually cared about constant uploads from me, then I'd probably be updating this more often.
Carry on good citizens.

I'm Still Alive!
1 min read
This is pretty much a quick journal entry just to let everyone know that I'm still alive and well. I haven't abandoned DeviantART, I've just been per-occupied with tons of school work lately and haven't been able to churn out much because of it.
When I've got my thoughts together, I'll edit this post so it's a bit more.... not barren.
Thanks!

And Yet The Wheel Keeps Spinning...
6 min read
Ah, yes. It's about time I wrote a new journal entry.
First off, thank you all for helping me achieve the 5,000 pageview stepping stone! It took years, but we're finally there. I have a mostly finished picture for the milestone that hopefully I'll have up soon.
I hope you all enjoyed "Merry Thanksgiving"! It was sorta fun, posting a lot of my art stuff online, and getting feedback. To be honest, I actually burnt myself out artistically near the end of that. I felt a few pieces weren't as good as I wanted them to be, or just wasn't very good to begin with, so I had to create a few drawings in just days to replace them.
Don't worry, though! My artistic side is back and ready to produce tons more artwork!...well, if I had time to do so. (You can read about that in the personal section under the dashed line below.)
So over the next few months or so, expect new art pieces to be uploaded. I can't say when exactly they'll be up, probably just whenever I feel like it. XD
A Lot of them will be drawings of characters other than Sonic, because I don't think there's anything left for me to learn from drawing him. You'll probably see Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Mario and a few Hamtaro drawings.
Now, onto the personal section!
---------------------------------
I'm gonna start with the bad news and slowly transition into the better news, so that I end on a more positive note.
- We ain't doing too hot. My dad is a Landscape guy, which is a seasonal job (meaning there are months he is "laid off".) We planned and saved for this, because we knew it was gonna happen. But a few unexpected emergencies really took their toll on us. Money is really short, and at this point all we have left is emergency money and food via food storage. Thankfully my Dad just got back into the work force and will get paid at the end of the month, but until then I'm pretty much living on Beans and Cheez-It crackers.
- Ever sense I got sick and missed 2 days of school, I've pretty much been playing catch-up to my classmates. I've been swamped with mounds of homework over the past 2 weeks and it's really been taking a toll on me. I haven't been able to draw much, or even get online and check out how all my pals are doing! I understand that Collage can be a very similar situation, but that is a Collage environment - High school is just not the same. The main problem right now is re-taking old, failed tests. I've got 13 school days until Finals week, so I really need to step it up.
- I've been trying to sell a few things to raise myself some money. But how, you might ask? Well, since I don't have a credit card...Craigslist. I'm selling things like an old iMac G3, an 11-inch Memorex TV and my SEGA Nomad. But...It hasn't been going too well, ether. People keep telling me they "must have [it]!"
So I send them a message asking if they want to meet, and they never respond back. Twice now, though, they have. And than we were going to meet, and they never show up. In one instance, I waited 40 MINUTES for a woman and she never showed up. So far, my experience with Craigslist has been awful. But that's more the shoppers fault than Craigslist. But I digress...
Now, onto some more uplifting news!
- I bought a SEGA Saturn! This was a good while ago, before we realized we were super low on money. I found it at a pawn shop with a Memory card (which doesn't seem to work), 2 controllers and a power strip for only $15! I later had to go buy the A/V Cables and a game, but it was still a heck of a lot cheaper than I would have had to pay my local Retro gaming stores. Right now I just have Sonic 3D Blast for the Saturn...(NiGHTS, someday you will be mine...)
- As A kid, I used to run home from school to catch Hamtaro on T.V. I really loved the show. But than they had a time switch and it was on a half-hour before I arrived home. So I missed a lot of episodes. Well, I've recently been re-watching them, and they still are quite charming. If you get past the fact that many would label it as a "kids" show, you may find yourself enjoying it like I still do. You'll see some more Hamtaro related stuff from me soon (at least I hope!)
- I have this game Idea that's been in the works for about 6 months now. It's soon exiting the storyboarding stage and going into the design faze. Some select people have already seen a super-small glimpse at the project, and hopefully I can actually get this one off the ground and finished. I really want to keep a lot of this game idea a secret, but I'll probably end up spilling the beans on at least some of it. You'll know I'm talking about it if I refer to "D" on Twitter. But this is certain. It has almost nothing to do with Sonic.
....Well, that about sums it all up. I have more I could say, but to be honest I think you've wasted enough time on my gibberish and it can be saved for a later date. So, thank you for reading and keep running!

Merry Thanksgiving!(?)
5 min read
UPDATE (11/29/10)
I apologize for the short hiatus, but I've been really busy studying for Finals and playing Sonic Colors! (And you can see my thoughts in my Sonic Colors Review Deviation) Back to normal schedule now... (I hope!)
-------------------------------
Hey guys! Classic Team here! Sure has been awhile, hasn't it?
Well, it's that time of the year again. If you live in the US like I do, Thanksgiving is not too far away. And after that, we've got Christmas! (Well... assuming you celebrate it, anyways.) So, it got me thinking... Isn't it about time I started uploading new art to DeviantART? I mean, my last update was MONTHS AGO! I think it's high time I picked up on this a little, because I still have tons of art I haven't even bothered to upload here.
SOOOOOOOOOOOO in order to catch up (and to be a little generous!) I'm claiming the next two months as Merry Thanksgiving! I'll be uploading 2 new art pieces once a week for two months: November and December. That makes 18 new drawings! The best ones will be added to groups for more traffic and opinions.
So look forward to new art every week, and have a Merry Thanksgiving!
Here's the Merry Thanksgiving calender:
November 2nd: Cosmo The Seedrian
November 4th: The Ring Of Power (Submitted to Groups!)
November 9th: Gamers Club Poster
November 11th: Greetings
November 16th: Random Sonic Pose
November 18th: Sonic Colors Review
November 23nd: iPod Poster 1 - Creativity
November 25th: Remy The Rat (Submitted to Groups!)
November 29th: Tails' Emotions
December 2nd: iPod Poster 2 - Focused
December 7th: Super Forms
December 9th: iPod Poster 3 - Gamer
December 14th: Real Sonic (Submitted to Groups!)
December 16th: Super Sonic (Submitted to Groups!)
December 21st: Sonic - Green Hill Remastered (Submitted to Groups!)
December 23rd: Merry Christmas - 2010 Edition
December 28th: ??????
December 30th: ??????
--------------------------------------------
And now, the life segment that no one reads.
I started a Gamers Club at my school last month. It went fairly well, considering the short time spent preparing and last minute relocating that went on. 16 people showed up and we played Nintendo 64 for about 2:30 hours. Our next meeting is Super Nintendo, and than after that it's ether Sega Systems or Playstation. (We let the members vote.)
Things don't always work out though. My friend and co-president Travis had to move in with his mom because his dad was being abusive and kicked him out of the house. It kinda sucks with him not being at our school anymore, but at least he's with his mom and safe from his dad.
Schooling... It could always be better. On the up side, my Graphics Design teacher really thinks I should do something in that field and suggested that I try to apply for scholarships or grants (What's the word for this? I can't remember...). On the other hand, I've never felt like I've had as much textbook work as I have now. I have to carry 3 textbooks around and I open them in class often and am asked to read/do work on them. American/History Ideas is quite a victim of this. The teacher talks so much that she doesn't get a lot of material in and we end up having to read it from the book to get a full understanding of the chapter. Spanish is annoying and boring, but at least I get it... in comparison to Chemistry. Oh, Chemistry, I HATE YOU SOOOOOO MUCH. I try to read the textbook, but I can't, because it uses Chem terms so often that I can't comprehend the sentience without looking up the words first. The teacher makes learning it a little easier, but often I'm too confused about what I'm supposed to do.
My Let's Play is coming REALLY soon. At least I hope so. It's planned for this year because of the game I'm playing and the significance of it. If you didn't know, it's a Game Boy Game. What kind of game? Well.... You'll see.
My new video series of me drawing things people ask for will be starting this weekend. I'll keep you guys up to date when it goes live.
Well, that's about it for me. Stay classy DeviantART!
