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.

Today is International Chameleon Day. To celebrate, I drew my favorite chameleon of all time in the silliest style and pose my tired brain could come up with. Enjoy the scraggly stick boy.

Team Sonic doodle page!

I spotted numerous characters in the Crossworlds trailer, and oh my goodness, I am HYPED! Literally went through the whole thing frame by frame. So first of all, there's frigging Charmy! I'm so excited!

I think I might've found Espio too, but it wouldn't clear up at all.

Super tiny, but it was the best I could get. If it truly is Espio, then we finally get the whole Chaotix together once again! Honestly the only thing I was devastated about in Team Sonic Racing. Man, I hope it's Espio because it really looks like him!

I also spotted Wave! Fitting since Jet is in here too, but still! Didn't see Storm anywhere, but I'm sure he has to be here too if Jet and Wave are there.

Then Cream seems to be playable, so we'll finally have the entirety of Team Rose! Super excited!

And then there's Sage!

I'm so excited to see so many characters! I was also stoked to see dinosaurs! Frigging love reptiles! But yeah, those are all the characters I spotted! Man, I'm so excited for this game!

Suddenly got really motivated to animate another headcanon of mine.

Headcanon: When Ray gets tired or just wants to have some extra fun, he will ride on Mighty's backpack (whenever he has one). Mighty usually doesn't notice until he notices it's been oddly quiet.

Knuckles but with big fruit!

This was never meant to see the internet, but I actually really like it! It’s my first ever storyboard, and it’s based on a headcanon of mine that Vector used to throw Mighty and Knuckles like dodgeballs when they were all one big group in the past.

I want to see what happens when she fricking snaps.

I wanted to try something with my Guardian AU to just get a feel to how lending power/abilities may present themselves. Can the others see the giant Mighty? No, but it’s still cool nonetheless!

Day 2: Teamwork

Sometimes teamwork is cracking down a case; sometimes it's counting up rent.
