I'm quite excited for Rogue One, so I just had to do something for its release. After combing through quite a few different ideas, I decided to go a non-sonic approach and celebrate Rogue One with another story that also tried to fill in the gap between episodes 3 and 4. The Force Unleashed was quite the game for me, did you ever get the chance to play it and its sequel? And if so, what were your thoughts?

![[SFM] Blaze in: Treasure Turmoil
Its taken quite some time but I finally finished up this animation featuring everyones favorite fire kitty! Many factors contributed to this idea including the old comics depicting how Blaze crosses dimensions with a fiery entrance, and just a thought that she could honestly take anything shed need for back home with her and seemingly have an unlimited supply XD Running a kingdom is hard work and expensive, but Blaze is a princess of action! Thanks for your patience for this video and I hope you enjoy!

![[SFM] Fionas Saga Follow Up ||You Decide||
Voting has ended thank you for your participation!
So sorry that its been a good while since word of this little video was mentioned but thanks to all of your support and popular demand, this will indeed be continued as a series. Before moving forward though, I thought itd be nice to have you all vote on where you want this story to go, the person you vote on will largely shape how Fiona sees and learns about this world. Why only Amy or Knuckles? Because in the previous episode Sonic mentioned he might bring these two xD
You might notice the map is different, that is because it was unfortunately deleted from the workshop and I did not back it up ^^;

Just in time for Sonic Frontiers new dlc, The Final Horizon update. I have no idea what this new form will look like or function nor how substantial the other playable characters will be. But I did have fun making this, I hope you enjoyed watching! Give Krysdolly, Tanooki98 and VoicesofNathan a follow! Nathan absolutely delivered for this video!

![[SFM] Until the Next Adventure
Im awfully late to this one, but I really wanted to make this little tribute of sorts with the closure of the Archie Sonic Comics. I am hoping IDW will prove to be a good fresh start for the comics to start going strong again. Even so, with how much inspiration I take from the comics, I felt I owed it to make this little short. Hope you all enjoy ^^

![[SFM] Crash 5: Like a Bandicoot (Summons)
The inception of this video has a long story xD Earlier this year we learned that Activision assigned Toys for Bob to assist in development for Call of Duty, which didnt sit quite well since they just got started bring Spyro and more recently Crash back in the spotlight. So lets put a twist on the whole situation. Lets say they come back to Crash afterwards and take their experience and apply it to the next Crash title. We get a Coco centered story where her now canonical video game addiction takes hold over her mind, causing her to imagine their next adventure as if its a tactical cover shooter, maybe throw in some XCOM DNA. Mix a little Yakuza 7, and you get Crash: Like a Bandicoot! All that to say I made two animations for summons that Coco could call on, similar to the poundmates system. Would you be interested in seeing more summons?
Special thanks to Shadow759 who casually tossed the idea of expanding these renders into a full animation https://twitter.com/DarklighterYt/status/1401271429161648128
