    Computer Meltdown

    So, I've had my laptop longer than I can remember. It's pretty damned old as far as computers go. It's nearing the end of it's life, and I'm really trying to keep it working. But honestly, it seems like it's got more problems each day.

    Hey! Listen!

    So, if you guys weren't aware, my computer got royally jacked up. I had a series of panic attacks and spend like, four days with little sleep fixing the damned thing, but it's okay now. Hopefully the old girl will hold on for awhile.

    Problems...

    My computer is dead/dying. I cant do anything but try and fix it, and until further notice my progress on Spike's Shadow is haulted.

    As well as my commission blog, meaning basically my entire life is grinding to a standstill. I'm really sorry, but I just cant do anything or say when I will be back. Im typing this on my phone. Its not ideal, but its all I can do right now.

    Im sorry.

    Q & A 22

    Hey everybody. Things have been a little rough for me lately, and given the fact nobody really participates in these, this will most likely be the last Q & A blog. For the few of you that do participate, I'd like to say how thankful I am.

    But things change, so unfortunately the weeks without updates will probably be totally without word from me. At least until I get my shit together.

    Do you ever?

    Have you ever just felt like a failure? Like you've exhausted all options? I do. I do constantly.

    Nothing feels good anymore. Small victories just don't help me through the day anymore. It's just all one big bitter taste.

    I've tried fighting my mental illness for as long as I can remember, and it's winning without much of a fight these days.

300 Comments! Reward Post · 2:08am Apr 9th, 2016

Hey everybody! Spike's Shadow just hit 300 comments, and as of now we're already at 310 or so. I'm really happy you guys like to talk about the story, or feel comfortable enough to ask all the questions you have. I'm pumped that everybody has been so supportive, so I whipped up a little something to say thanks.


Here's an example of Sombra using his dark powers. He's a little cranky looking, and I might have made the head a little too thin. I'm experimenting with a few new looks for him right now, so if it's a little bit off the final version will be better.

*Edit* I'd also like to give a shout out to Lord Olympius, as his comment was number 300 and he's a devoted fan and friend. Thanks!

I'm also gonna show you guys my voice pick for Sombra. Anytime I write or read something I assign all the important characters voices. While I haven't been able to decide on Spike's I found a fair representation of Sombra's voice. At least from my opinion.

Beerus, dragon ball Z's cat-like god of destruction. Or at least his English dub's voice actor. While Sombra talks a bit more slowly an eloquently Beerus has just the right smugness and smarminess to his voice. In case anybody wonders just who I'm talking about consult the video below. He's the cat guy.

So, I hope I'll see some of you next week for the Q&A, and many of you in the comments in the next update. Have a great weekend everyone, and thanks again.

That voice so works for Sombra, also that pic makes we want to see him use a syth.
I think the guy who voiced Superboy in Young Justice would work for Spike.

3857952 Hmm. Superboy is a little too gruff and maybe not quite deep enough. Not sure. I'll know it when I hear it.

3858004 what about the voice for iron bull, male inquisitiver voices, or Cullen's voice.

3858085 I'm not overly familiar with either of those.

3858122 Go youtube it and come back to me

3858126 Eh.... No on all counts.

I'm not wanting Spike to sound like a stereotypical hero type. I want him to sound relatively normal, sort of charming, but capable of sounding threatening at the same time. Spike had the hero's mantle foisted upon him. He wanted to be as normal as possible before he knew and I feel like his tone and mannerisms should reflect the sort of softness he wanted to maintain.

3858367 Eh I wasnt a huge fan of the Spiderman movies and I didnt even bother watching the newer ones. The only reason I care about Spiderman at all is the symbiotes.

3859046 I was just making a joke about the factors your trying to find in his voice. But yes Agent Venom for life.
