- Hello my dear! You know, you just continue to amaze me and I wish you all the very best in your creative future. Sedo the Dog is too adorable. I personally have loved this type of character look for quite a few years. Perhaps it's from working with two companies which had many Asian-Pacific customers, I don't know. But, whatever the reason ... I appreciate your work! xoxoxo

- Wow, what an interesting topic. Being a photographer and graphic artist I love anything design related. But I very much appreciate your color analysis in design creation. I never really looked at Sonic as having 'super hero' colors but now it's obvious. Thank you very much.

- I'm so glad this made lens of the day. I might have missed it otherwise! Great job!! Oddly enough, Mickey Mouse has also went 3D in many of the parks making appearances in some of the parks 3d films and in some of Disney's games for children. They say in order to have a long life, you have to be adaptable to change - I guess the same is true of characters as well. :)

- Great lense but you forgot many of the best characters ever created: Loony Toons. Wiley E. Coyote, Bugs Bunny, Elmer Fudd -- characters that offer true wit. I would like to see a return to real character development in cartoons instead of so much extreme silliness.
