Over the years I’ve met some pretty amazing people on MySpace, some have become good friends while others have changed my life completely. I don’t think I’d be who I am today if it wasn’t for some of them. Close friends like HlwD Boi, Ricardo1466 and Emo-Kei who share the same interests but also some incredible people such as Emofox, Homme.Couture, Dav!d Rainbow and Jeremy Ethan Love who, in the short time we’ve known each other, have completely changed my entire lifestyle!But apart from them, I’ve always had the desire to meet some of my favourite voice actors from Sonic Team and 4Kids such as Mike Pollock, Jason Griffith, Ryan Drummond and Scott Dreier as I look up to them immensely and were also a huge inspiration to me when I tried to make it as an amateur Sonic cast VO, that dream may have died but the passion never will!But also, if I could only meet one person in this world, it would be Jesse McCartney without a single doubt in my mind! *blushes* =DView All Friends | View Blog | View Pics | Add Comment
The visionary
The two things I love most in life are Art and Video Games. If you combine the two together you can really create something beautiful. See I carry a unique visionary of a possible future for video games, that can manipulate realism so well, you couldn’t possibly compare the difference, yet at the same time carry all the freedoms of fictional world without being handicapped by the very boundaries of real life.
That’s why I began to create and develop my very own gaming franchise, Katherine and Hippoloid, about a girl who crossed path with a character from another universe who’s world is almost entirely symmetrical to ours, yet isn’t pushed by the very boundaries of realism.
A better way to explain this is to try and picture a fictional character such as Katherine in the real world, you can go or explore anywhere you desire with absolutely no boundaries or limitations to what area’s you can and can’t explore, your not confined or restricted to a single virtual sandbox or mapped stage, you can explore the entire world as you see and know it, yet you can define realism, doing all the things you would normally hope to achieve only in a video game.
This is why I have carried such a lifelong dedicated passion for the gaming franchise, Sonic the Hedgehog, because it carried the exact same visionaries of being able to travel though both realistic and unique environments at high speeds with the very freedom of being able to sprint and leap into the atmosphere, without ever being able to tire, yet at the same time remain and feel both realistic and entertaining.
If you can convince your audiences that video games can be as real as the Earth itself, then surely you can do as fine a job as recreating fragments of the Earth to be played as a video game.
I see a world where entire functioning cities, populated by individual beings play as mere stages in a game, where you can simply leap off a mountain top and fly 50 kilometres into the hillscape as if it was nothing, that’s the vision I carry for the perfect video game, and I want to be the very one behind it!
Console of choice
What I love most about the Xbox and Xbox360 is that you can introduce your own music into the games you play, completely introducing a new insight and aspect into your emotion towards them. That’s why I love to mix certain games with individual soundtracks and keep it as a traditional value, better improving my mood and concentration towards them. I really think it helps bring individuality into each game and lets you feel more in control of the game from a development point of view.
How it all began
As a kid I used to love reading comics and gradually began making my own comic book series based off South Park, but at that time, I also became involved in the anime show, Cardcaptors so I decided to stage the main characters as Sakura & Keroberos, and also another character I created called Katherine which later grew and developed into the main character of my gaming franchise, Katherine & Hippoloid!But even today I still enjoy developing scripts and storyboards to later be used as animated projects or future video games. it’s a long hard process but also a lot of fun, and I still enjoy doing it time after time again!

Newgrounds Flash - My main projects
Click here to play EGG-PAWN ATTACKS
This is my first game with DrJam called Egg-Pawn Attacks! Dodge the missiles and click on the Emeralds to Summon a new robot!
Click here to watch the RYAN DRUMMOND TRIBUTE
This is the unfinished version of the Tribute that I promiced to make for Ryan Drummond for well over a year now! Its my voice talent of all the Sonic cast wishing Ryan the best of luck in the future! (This was made way back in 2005 BTW so my voice talent is a little rusty, I'm a lot better now, but the original file is lost on my old computer and probably corrupted as well so for people asking me to finish this, I would have to start again from scratch, but I'm far too busy right now, but hey, chin up, who knows maybe I will one day!) =D
This is the FINAL SNEAK PREVIEW of Sonic & Jesse's high Speed adventure! I'm completely redesigning the entire Video from scratch now so this will be the last time you see it handrawn!
Since SO many people, confused by the Ryan Drummond tribute keep asking me what I sound like, I put together this 'Voice Over Circus' of all my most recent (2005-6) VO work and work I did for the soon to be internet comic, Dobby the Cat! If you follow the youtube URL you can find out more details about it!
Here's some of my work for you all to see!
If you haven't already guessed from the top of the page, This is my main Franchise, Katherine & Hippoloid!
I hope to soon make a series of Games based on this, and hopefully you'll be buying them in the shops instead of playing them for free on my profile!
This is my soon to be first sucessful game, Deadline. Its about a young boy named Andrew Fairbairn who awakes from a coma and finds himself in a zombie infested city and also the worlds most wanted fugitive! What did he do? How did he get there? And most importantly, why can't he remember?
My High Speed Adventure Series, only for newgrounds and myspace, I'm creating 10 different AMV's based around the sonic universe!
This is a working development project I've now put aside but will hopefully continue later. Totally Rad' Dudes is about 4 teenage boys livin it large in San Fransisco, getting caught up in all sorts of mishaps and wacky adventures every week!
Yeah I'm also in the comic making bussiness too, besides designing video games and animations, I started off making comic's as a kid and up to this very day still enjoy doing it! Most of which you can see in my pics section now and I upload more whenever I can! Read all about what your missing in my blogs section!
Although my biggest interest has always been loyaly with sonic, I've also began working on my own Ratchet and Clank game just for newgrounds and myspace! Like the original games you'll be able to travel and explore different galaxies, upgrade your abilites as you progress, fly ships and puchase cool weapons, but unlike the previous games, in this one you have to train a team of small robot helpers who will soon become the toughest team in the universe!
Yeah and I still enjoy my artwork as well, check out the pics section as I upload tons more each and every day!
My MySpace Hall of Fame!
Although you can already see all of my art in my pics section, lately I've been inspired to draw tribute posters for all the incredible people I have met on MySpace over the years, they know who they are and if you happen to find your slab on my Hollywood hall of fame concider yourself official MySpace Royalty!
Oh but please don't just ask me to draw you, these pictures usually take an entire day to make each and most of the people who have theirs done I've known for years, or I'm just a sucker for! LOL XP
My First poster was for HlwD Boi's fan character, Spark the Hedgehog, we got to talking about it and all of a sudden I just had the sudden erge to draw my idea for the character on his behalf!
My second inspired poster came from my other closest MySpace Buddy Ricardo1466 who I know is a huge fan of Ratchet and Clank, so to honour his greatness I brought the entire Insomniac Team to his home of Australia!
Now this one was Extra Special, I made this one just for Jason Griffith, 4kids current official voice of Sonic and Shadow the hedgehog on his very Birthday and sent it to him as a gift! As I've always said to him in the past it would be a great idea for him and his wife to take a nice cruise together, and what better way to spend it than being waited on hand and foot by all the characters Jason has played!
This is my amazing tribute to both Rusko Star and Scotty Vanity, those two really inspire me and I only hope with this poster I can do the same! Love you both, Hope this goes on your page one day! X
This is my Incredible tribute poster for EmoFox and my firsthand attempt to recreate the Entire City of Seattle.
I call it Incredible because it took an Incredible Month to complete! Boy was I exhausted, but this has definatly proven to be both my Greatest Challenge and my Greatest Peice yet!
(btw if you look into the scenery it may seem like there are far too many buildings but if you note, in actual fact half of those closest to the mountains are actually trees, so its not any design error on my part!)
Out of sheer optimism, I volentarily created this pic for Kinetic Kyle, suprisingly enough it took an incredibly short time to make! Hope he enjoy's it all the same, he deserves more happiness than anybody I know! =)
My Tribute to Newgrounds - And all the loveable characters that make the site so great! I Can't even imagine the internet without Newgrounds, and I can't even imagine what I'd be doing here either if I didn't have that site to co-balence off? So for that, I give Newgrounds a round of applause!
Jeremy Ethan Love Birthday Tribute - I wanted to do this in time for Jeremy's birthday last March but I've been so tied down with college work and such that I just found it too daunting to finish up until now! The idea behind it that Jeremy and David are Guardian Angels who have been sent to Earth by God, have both met each other in L.A. and from then on were destined to become close friends! But for some strange reason Jeremy is holding a snowglobe replica of the city which someone anonymously gave to him for his birthday and is said to predict the future!
I made this Wacky Kim Possible crossover in tribute to it's biggest fan David Hazuki after he made me my first ever piece of fan art! =P Can you top that?
I made this for my best friend on DeviantArt, SonicTopfan, Who's been going through a lot recently and people are trying to get him booted off the site permanently!
If you like his work show him some support at http://sonictopfan.deviantart.com, It may be too late if you don't hurry! =(

Scott Dreier coming soon
Micky [into the light] coming soon
Roxas and Friends in Twilight Town [emo-kei- tribute] coming soon

This hilarious picture is for every one who's lost their Xbox 360's to the ring of death and is having trouble staying entertained, I didn't just share your pain, I endured it!
This is what I think would happen if The Flood ever made it into Sonic's Home World! That hedgehog may be fast but I doubt even he can take on an Invading Flood Storm without even a chance to collect any rings! <=(

A section for my Idol's
For the hell of filling up space on my profile, I decided to add in this little slot on my page of some of my (ahem) heroes, nothing much, just for a little sake of passing the time, (God I never knew life could be so boring when your 360 dies out on you!)
My Absolute No.1 Hero and I'll Never be ashamed to say it aloud! Life just isn't worth living if you can't appretiate Jesse McCartney, and for those of you who appretiate him too much, back off girls I saw him first! lol =P
More Idol's
Game hacking
As well as art for my page, I've also gotten into game modifying. Most people on MySpace already know that I've taken Sonic Adventure DX apart and remodelled it up to the point where its practically Sonic the Hedgehog 360/PS3 right down to the very soundtrack!
...But I've also found a liking for taking Sega Dreamcast games apart and submitting my findings! Its really interesting seeing masterpieces like Shenmue from a Programmers point of view!
Maybe one day I might send my findings to Shenmue.dojo but for now who knows? I'll keep posting my screendumps on here for now so be sure to check them out!) =D
