Those who tune in toPodtoidwill recall that Jonathan Holmes’ is a social worker in a psychiatric hospital. He helps the drug-addled and mentally unstable to, if not necessarily return to active society, at least become less of a danger to themselves and others.
For years, Sonic the Hedgehog has suffered deeply from being unable to achieve the once dizzying heights of his youth. This has sent him into a tumultuous downward spiral, the depths from which no one thought he could ever emerge. Not Holmes, though. Holmes was there every step of the way to lend a sympathetic ear to one of gaming’s greatest icons. His assistance helped Sonic to recapture some of that old spark withSonic Generations, though we can never rule out the possibility of a relapse.
The above portrait, inspiring yet heartrending, is the work of community member MrNorth, a frequent contributor ofDestructoid fan art. He captures an essence that can barely be contained in two-to-three paragraphs. Observe andFEEL.
