Hey people, @beamingfoxy.bsky.social has arrived on Bluesky!
During playthroughs of Golden Sun and The Lost Age, Foxy had posted sketches on characters and monsters as the games progressed. Consider following along in case we get to see that again during Dark Dawn?

After a forced break, I'm back to streaming and creating.

So, taking advantage of the fact that my mannequin accidentally fell off my markers organizer... Here's my WIP!

If you don't mind my saying, many of these seem very Original 150 Pokémon inspired, in the best way possible.

I have secondhand knowledge to confirm thanks to a very real story...which I am NOT allowed to share. But yes, confirming in case it couldn't be confirmed elsewhere.

This is about Amazon, correct? I will not think bad of anyone for shopping from them; another person may have no choice. Speaking for me, the evils of Amazon are too great for me to have anything to do with them. Too much exploitation: injuries and death, promises of jobs but creating only poverty.

"My reputation for misogyny is LEGENDARY!"
Based upon what we learn in Dark Dawn, Alex could have revealed his identity like this. The honesty would have been refreshing on his part.

The introduction of Daisuke Jigen from Lupin III, but with the masked Arcanus (an antagonist of the Golden Sun series) face badly placed over.

If anyone ever sees a monstrosity such as this but using the Golden Sun Djinn, here are your instructions:
Do not take photos. Do not tell anyone. Do not let it spread. Mourn the moment, but take the sight of it to your grave. For the good of the rest of us.
Please...

Want to learn how to "Don't Die" in one easy step?
Step 1: Get exposed to the Golden Sun and then be humiliated by The Wise One (looking at you Alex).
Alternative Step 1: Listen to this solid advice from Jenna and Kraden.
And there you go! "Don't Die" has been achieved.

Jenna in the Elemental Star Chamber within Mt. Aleph in Golden Sun. She is shouting "Isaac, Garet! Don't die!"

On top of the Mercury Lighthouse in Golden Sun. Kraden is out of sight but is shouting "Isaac! Garet! Don't die!"

Procne is one of the most beautiful of the original summons, so for that alone, check this out.
Although really you should be checking out all the work of MarVogue already, so get on that if you haven't been. Seriously. Make with the appreciation already!

A new Golden Sun game, where one of the bosses is Mario and Luigi, wielding golf clubs and tennis racquets. Wait, that's what we are living in now!
Living in a game called "Kill Mario Sports"!

The range of emotions can be vast. Everything from a hollow feeling inside, to mild gratitude that Camelot is still functioning as a company and therefore leaving the possibility for new Golden Sun down the road.
And at least it wasn't golf.

An important reminder about the September 12th Nintendo Direct: curling up into a ball on the ground and going into convulsions while foaming at the mouth is not a healthy reaction if nothing related to Golden Sun is announced. It is however a very healthy reaction if we DO get some new Golden Sun!

You may recall the concept of a Golden Sun 2.5, a game to bridge The Lost Age and Dark Dawn by showing a variety of mini adventures throughout Weyard featuring many characters.
This thread will contain some of those concepts, represented by images from Spongebob Squarepants.
