My name is FinalGamma, and I am new to SRB2 Message Board Forums. Sonic Robo Blast 2 has been (and still is my favorite fan-made sonic game) since my early elementary/grade school years. My older brother introduced me to the game at a young age; since then, I have taken a very keen interest in the game's growth. I really and truly appreciate the developers for taking their time in perfecting their craft into the game.
My Objective
I plan to make a fleshed-out character...my sonic original character/creation, Gummy the Cat (Gummy for short). And why "Gummy"? Gummy is a nine-year-old who likes to eat gum and other candy and chill with Chao. But, he will go to the ends of the earth to fight for his Chao companions, no matter the costs.
I definitely will work on a backstory of my character and showcase early concept designs of my character. Anyways, Gummy will be a pretty versatile character whose arsenal will pertain to gum. Gummy chews different kinds of gum with special properties that he can manipulate when blowing said gum. For instance, he can quickly chew and blow up a parasol, granting him the ability to glide and slowly descend (like Knuckles the Echidna, Big the Cat from Sonic Heroes, Kirby, etc.).
I'll have more in-depth explanations on his gum abilities (as I am not fully set and stone on my character's functionality).
I also want to grant him access to the Chao Garden, where he can select his favorite squishy chubby baby friends to help him along his journey. For instance, Gummy uses the Chao key and selects a power type Chao. That power type Chao will be able to perform basic Chao skills but will have the ability to break certain obstacles/walls that characters such as Sonic and Tails cannot do.
If a player decides they need help platforming or feel like taking flight and soaring to the goal, just Chao key and grab a fly-type Chao.
Once again, I am still not set and stone on my ideas, but I am open to any suggestions regarding skills and functionality for my character.
Some stuff about me
I am a college student as well as an aspiring pixel artist. I started my pixel art journey around January 10, 2022. From the time I started up until this post (on March 2, 2022), I have greatly improved thanks to the tutorials provided by MotorRoach, Eve, my older bro, and many more.
I am also a manga reader, and I am currently reading En'en no Shōbōtai aka Fire Force by Atsushi Ōkubo).
I also enjoy video games (mainly platformers and adventure Esque games like Sonic and Zelda). I can tolerate some fighting games...
With that said, I thank anyone who comes across my first post and reads this. I am excited to be a part of this SRB2 message board community, and I can't wait to show you what I have in store.
If you can't get me on here, my discord is FinalGamma#5251. I have email notifications enabled, so I will try and be as active as possible! Once again, thank you .

Also, I spent almost three days making this CSS portrait for SRB2. I did this on Adobe Illustrator, and I considered making this drawing my CSS (in the appropriate resolution). I'd appreciate feedback on how it looks. Also, I'm new to digital art overall. I'm not familiar with art terminology/lingo, but I guess it's a part of the learning process.
I honestly wished to have made some progress with my character, but I unfortunately had to put my attention towards other things (e.g., work) in my life. I wish I had more of an opportunity to work on my oc. Maybe someday. I'm not giving up, but I am officially postponing my progress for now. I'll probably resume around the Wintertime.
After thinking about Gummy's color palette, I don't think the shoe color I initially wanted is a good fit. Not to mention, Gummy's fur color (the initial one I wanted) can't be in SRB2 due to a select range of colors. Therefore, I am changing Gummy's color palette to match that of a Koopa Troopa. His fur will be yellow, and his shoes will be green.
Let me know if I need to rework the shoes.
Edit (July 1, 2023)
I am no longer changing Gummy's fur color. It will remain a pinkishcolor. In different media, it may have be a slightly different pink (like how Sonic does not always have the same blue color throughout the franchise).

I am aware of custom skin colors, but I wanted to change the color for a little while. I am not a fan of the original palette I chose for my character, and I felt a change was in order. However, that is not to say I am saying no to the idea of custom colors.

Hi! Progress is kinda slow. I just started school again and I am trying to figure out a schedule to fit in my modding schedule between my school and work schedule. Also, I am trying to work on saving up some money to buy a new SSD for my laptop, so I have ample storage for my art, games and video stuff. I am actually going to tackle on making a 3D model for Gummy (via Blender) before I continue spriting him.
Kitty... :')
I hope your motivation wasn't stolen by someone.....nah, I'm kidding. But in all seriousness, the amount of work you did last year was incredible. I understand there's a whole bunch of stuff you gotta do before continuing your progress on this, but I don't want you to give up!....not saying that i thought you were gonna give up, don't get the wrong idea-!
You should at least be happy that you decided to start making a character mod right away, without procrastination. I wish I was like that. But anyway! Keep up the good work!!!
greatest and sincerest apologies. I have not quite held up to my promise with my project. I'm trying to figure myself out right now (with work, school, hobbies, and future events). Fear not! My project is far from canceled, and that is the last thing I would want. I started learning animation, and I wanted to see what I could apply. This Summer, my goal is to sprite a fair amount of basic movements (e.g., walking, running, jumping, falling).
I want to make a design doc for Gummy that will include some abilities I have in mind. Anyways, that is soon to come! Thanks for your patience and support, guys.
