Original description: DISCLAIMER: This is a request that was requested before I closed them permanently after 2022 due to being overwhelmed and losing a lot of sleep and losing out a lot on my own freedoms. Don't get any stupid ideas and try to request anyway. I am a real person with my own life, not a robot that constantly pumps out art. If you decide not to heed this warning, I will be more than happy to block you if the need arises.



Requested by JerryKhor.



At long last. I have succeeded.



The final pending requests. Done and donedid!



It's been a long and arduous road, that's for dang sure. But now, the era of the last echoes of the infamous Request Rush are over. Now that I've pretty much done away with public requests, now I
can focus on the things that will REALLY blow your mind. My stories, my own art, and of course, my beloved characters.



And I'm gonna be honest, I felt a LOT of satisfaction when the fellows who requested the previous 2022 requests saw that I had finished what they wanted and were super happy and thankful for me. I
was scared that after all this time waiting they would be mad at me, but happily, that was not the case, and they were amazed with the result. With all my experience at this point, the images
definitely had more quality than if I had done them earlier. I was actually looking forward to drawing this request, in fact!



If you're seeing this, I apologise massively for the wait. I was pulled in so many directions by others, but I'm so happy to see the results of this image.



And from now on, I am a free drawer. No longer held back by the chains of those who only want free art from me. No longer enslaved by the Sonic fandom who only want me to serve them. Now, we will
see so much more things from me. The things I came to DeviantArt to do in the first place...


Retrospective: "I am a free drawer. No longer held back by the chains of those who only want free art from me." Truer words have never ever been spoken, past me!

I think I actually did way better than had I drawn this in 2022 or 2023, like I said in part 2's retrospective, and even though it does look a bit cramped with the speech boxes, I'm really amazed with how it looks! I even added the extra cherry on top of myself appearing in the last panel with some blue text, almost as a way to celebrate the finishing of the final request.

I'll also admit that this request had a darker side to it, since ever since 2022 I would sometimes feel guilty about not having done the request yet despite the fact that it was a comic and would've taken more effort to draw. Happily I no longer feel that guilt and shame now!

As for the requester, JerryKhor, they unfortunately never saw or acknowledged the fact that I had finished this request for them, which was likely due to them having left DeviantArt, which I seriously do not blame them for doing, or they might have moved on from the request and felt bad and thought they might've strained me with it due to how long it was. In fact, this is my longest and largest request to date that I uploaded and was happy with. And it's even longer when you realise that I even made an extra page...
