germanname's picture
I'm a huge fan of Sonic the Hedgehog. The interest started in July 2001, when I was 11. I did not draw Sonic until I was 12. Over the past 5 years, all of my Sonic drawings grew more and more sophisticated.

If you're asking me why I started my interest in Sonic, it had a few elements. I did not have a Sega Genesis until October 2003, and this was back in July 2001 (read above). I wanted to play this Wheel of Fortune (I flippin' love that show) game for the Genesis, even though now it doesn't look any more sophisticated than the new Computer stuff to me. I go to my cousin, and he gives me his Genesis for a while. He also gives me his game collection for the Genesis. Two of the games were Sonic 2, and Sonic & Knuckles. I really liked them. That was when my interest, soon to become a huge love, began.

For those who wonder why I named myself germanname, it's because my last name is German. Since its spelled GENAME, many pronounced it juh-name, but it's actually pronounced gah-name under German standards. My ancestors arrived at the US shortly after the Civil War ended, and I have never been outside the US. My online name actually was the result of an accident. I received this writing award in 2003, and not only my name was misprounced, it was spelled GERNAME. In 2005, I remembered that accident and also learned my last name was German (a GErman NAME). It was originnaly spelled with one N, but many sites already had a germaname user, so I added another N. If germanname was also taken on a site (which happened when I registered for YouTube), I added my birth year of 1990 at the end of it. The rest is history.

EarthAkittyHi! thank u so much for your comment! I would say my version of Knuckles is sort of Experimental with the human style but still keeping his original face. Lol! It's still under construction but One of these days I will get it right.

kittyshootingstarWell, contest entry depends on the contest. If the contest rules define a specific type of picture that should be drawn, you usually leave a comment or two on the profile of the person who is holding the contest. The first one will say that you are entering the contest (and which one, if the person is having more than one contest). Then, you draw a picture that follows the rules and criteria of the contest, put it on FAC, and leave another comment linking to the picture.

If it's another kind of contest, like a name or caption contest, usually you just leave a comment with your entry on the picture (or the person's profile, if they ask for that).

I hope this helps!

germannameI don't speak German, but my great-granfather, or his father maybe, came from Germany like a short while after the end of the Civil War. In Germany, the name was spelled GNEHM (as you can see on my FAC avatar). In America, the spelling changed to GENAME. Recently, I thought of a joke to use on my American last name. Put the letters R, M, A, and N between GE and NAME, and you get my account on this site. I wish I could use one N, but on many sites, that was taken already before I could even get the chance. But thanks for asking! I appreciate it so much you don't have to mind asking.
