Yes I cried when I found out. And YES I am still crying. I am crying as I type this.
To those who followed me over the years know, that my character "Gage" was based upon and literally INSPIRED by listening to Prince on the radio on a summer day in 1994. And the fact I had the hots for Prince, listened to his music to this DAY.
I picked a lemur because *at the time* there weren't no "Madagascar King Julien", much less ANY lemur cartoon character out there to be seen anywhere (this was pre-internet days btw). And Prince was always jumping around on stage in those high heels, appearing as if being agile. So I figured a lemur fits him imao lol.
I wanted a short stature character, soft spoken yet with a deep booming voice. Capable of being funny well as serious. Smirks, NEVER smiles. Tight faced. Threatening if pushed to his boiling point. Smart, clever and sexy. Agile. Old, refined yet composed. A leader. Enters Gage.
Creepy thing I dreamt about Gage not even two days ago- (who OFTEN appears as Prince circa his "Batman Soundtrack days" for which his design in particular is based upon) - made me sign a 'contract', smirks, and disappears like a ghost. Which was WEIRD and not something Gage would or could do. Then this happens =O.o=
Simply wow. Life is precious. Live each day like its your last, because you just never know...
RIP Prince

Prince's music is something that my mom shared with me back when I was in highschool. She was the same age when SHE got into Prince's music. When I heard one of his songs being played on a radio station that doesn't normally play his music, I knew something was going on. After they announced it, I had to call my mom and tell her the news. It's heart breaking.
It's amazing to me, though, that Prince's music and his personality as an artist has inspired so many generations, and interesting characters.
RIP Prince.
