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.
3858189 so spiderman
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.
