I Was Given A Character Design Assignment And Was Told I Could Go For Whatever Fandom I Wanted. I Am

I'd really like to know more abt Ray in your guardian AU? I noticed he's wearing Mighty's boots, so im very intrigued :0c

Ah, the most recent AU I came up with! So um… to put it very simply, essentially half the Sonic cast is uh… dead. But there’s a reason for it, I swear! In this AU, everyone is tied to someone in spirit. When one dies, they become the spirit guardian of the other until they both pass. They can either fight things off as spirits or lend their abilities to the ones their protecting for a limited amount of time. There are a few bits with the system I have to smooth out, but I’m sure it’ll come with time. The world is also more dangerous than it’s been before. It’s not quite apocalyptic, but it’s like the cousin of it. 

Now that there’s context, now for Ray: 

Mighty died, which just shattered Ray’s world as he was there when it happened. Sonic and Tails took him in, and being unsure of where to go, Ray went with them. He learns later on that Mighty had asked Sonic to watch after him if anything were to happen. He’s glad he’s doing something his brother wanted, but it still makes him feel sick to his stomach if he thinks about it for too long because he’d rather just have Mighty than his wishes. He gets headaches a lot, which is a result of Mighty trying to help him as a spirit. The guardians can temporarily possess the one their protecting and only them specifically. While the protected are rarely aware of it happening, they do get headaches from it and depending on the time length of the possession, they’ll be fatigued as well. But yeah, the boots are essentially all he has left of him, courtesy of Sonic who did not have a good time retrieving them. 

Is this AU sad? Yes, but this AU will get some banger art out of me! Or at least as far as my skills will take me! I created it more for the cool factors I imagined in borrowing abilities than the sad parts but angst prevails sometimes. Thanks for asking about it! I hope you got the answers you wanted and that all of this made sense.  Feel free to ask more questions if it didn’t.

Meme based off of an exchange of comments in @merlyybird’s fic Different Stars. Really good fic and highly recommend reading. Genuinely one of the best fics I’ve read in a while. Anyways, I wear this meme as a badge of honor.

Just finished up a bunch of homework and wanted to show off my favorite one from all of the jumping animations I had to do.

I made a Sonicsona! I’ve been working on this for a couple days and decided I was going to make myself a turtle! Sonic could use more reptiles anyways, and I based them off of my favorite turtle species, the diamondback terrapin!

I went simple with markings and stuff since that seems to be the style. But woo! First ever sona for something!

Quick ramble about thoughts and details I put into it.

I used a lot of things I love to make this little guy. Turtles are my favorite animals of all time. I also love the color blue and any teals. I think purple eyes is top tier character design plus it was a way to include my second favorite color. I love high/mid top shoes to the point where they’re pretty much all I ever wear. Had to include headphones because I wear them everywhere. I also chose to include the wristband I’ve worn every day for five and a half years now. Also, every pair of gloves I own are fingerless. The only full gloves I had have been missing for two years.

Ramble over! Only excitement now!

A little something I’m working on due to this repeatedly popping up in my head every single time I listen to Team Chaotix’s theme song.

Tails and Espio tied for second so I flipped a coin. Espio is now finished! Next up: Tails!

Closeups because zooming in to read sucks:

I drew Kit playing in the rain because I thought it would be fun and I wish to do that same. Also experimented with assets in my art program.

I wanted to include the sketch as well because there’s a niceness to it. Just the simplicity of it makes me happy.

Day 5: Mystery - The Case of Mighty and Ray

This was rushed because I changed my idea super last second, but I’m overall pleased with it given the amount of time that went into it.

I have a martial arts tournament in one and a half days. It is too dark for me to practice outside, and I don’t have enough space to practice inside. I compromised by drawing Espio performing the weapon form I am entering for competition, Nihon No Nunchaku.
