male | sonic, db, spider-man, and rdr fan | artist | ✝️
i think its alright
that i do what i like
cuz thats the way i wanna live
and so i give
i’m still givin
hot take!:
if sonic “can be anything”, then sonic is nothing
people didn’t fall in love with a blank slate; they fell in love with a character that is unlike any other. an established character, that should be consistent
sonic should be sonic. and sonic can’t just be anything
People are blaming the game being "bad" even though it had a more positive reception than Frontiers at launch. That's not the real issue.
The real problem is that people aren't interested in the Classic style, especially those who became fans through the movies.
not to say this is wrong but i’d rather have a model that always looks good rather than needing the proper pose to look good
we need a new model that just looks good rather than has the potential to look good given the right angle and pose
I've seen so many people criticize the stock sonic model and say the model needs changing. But no, the model is fine. the problem is with how it's always posed. here for example with the unleashed model you can simply deform the brows and the muzzle to curve.
This is pretty much the sonic unleashed game model but with a good rig that makes anything possible with the face. (Rig by @DANCADA_3D)
super specific nitpicky hot take
i (generally) don’t really like it when tails is like the height of sonic’s eyes or something
tails should be noticeably smaller than sonic (and co) imo
it’s one of the many reasons why i don’t like the modern tails redesign tbh
this is something i figured out a while ago but only recently started putting into practice but apparently modern amy’s head isn’t a circle, but rather a kind of oval
it’s like how knuckles’s bullet shaped head makes from for his dread’s, amy’s makes room her bowl cut quills
this is why i prefer blonde super shadow over rose gold or silver super shadow
they definitely look super fucking cool but pyrite super shadow just holds more weight for me
i don’t know if i’d rag on the goat for a random instagram video skit he made in the middle of public tbh 😭
just a while ago he was cooking at a convention and before that, sonic and tails r
yes i am the #1 jason griffith defender
no unironically a good mario and sonic crossover would be fire asf let’s not lie
i don’t even care much for mario but like…
sonic vs bowser? mario vs eggman? metal mario? shadow sonic? sonic and luigi team-up? mario and tails team-up?
it’d be gas like a 2000s flash animation
it gets confusing bc the games like to portray “modern sonic” and “classic sonic” like they’re the same from two time periods when they’re really just the same guy in two artstyles
gens really flubs their proportions too. “classic” and “modern” have the same height originally
then game knuckles should just be written well instead of being based on movie knuckles bc their personalities are different and reflect their different backgrounds (lone guardian vs intergalactic warrior) 💔💔💔💔
when they’ve got the budget, it’s absolutely amazing
but 85% of episodes (pretty much every slice of life one) were clearly on crunch time and had a small budget, and it unfortunately suffers because of that
the finales look stunning though
why has omega just not fucking killed eggman already
nobody would stop him, all the main characters are firmly on his side (besides amy and cream ig?) LMAO
like
he could just do it any day and he hasn’t
omega what the hell do you do all day man
why are sonic and tails swapped here
sonic is a homeless young adult who actively denounces using phones, bro would be so fucking confused
tails is a 5-8yo autistic boy he’d find that shit so fucking funny
the movie sonic/jimmy neutron tails brainrot…
sonic enjoys it when the girls smile but is right out of there when he’s flirted with (the attention flusters him), and shadow doesn’t care about girls (doesn’t make a difference for him, he’s equally prickly to everybody) and will just be annoyed if he’s flirted with lol
that feeling when you wanna make a sonic fangame bc you’ve got all the ideas that would make the perfect game for you but you have no resources, nobody to help, and no idea how to make a game
very small minimal sa2 sonic paintover bc i’m a picky lad
btw i love sa2 sonic to death i just have my own little stylistic things that i do that i’d like to put on him
bc nobody respects art nowadays ngl, especially hollywood or most producers
it’s about get the product out rather than create a passion product as a labor of love
american writers wrote colors, lost world, forces, tsr, frontiers, idw, and the movies
and the damn canadians wrote prime
meanwhile japanese writers wrote sa1, sa2, heroes, x, 06, sr, unleashed, and bk
who here has the best track record? it isn’t the americans or canadians
metal 100%, complete arch rival
knuckles is only a friendly rival, but really a best friend
when sonic and shadow are characterized right post-shadow 05, they aren’t even rivals unless the circumstance calls for it (like kirby & meta knight)
jet is only an extreme gear rival
reminder eggman is a horrible person who should realistically be manipulating/oppressing his sentient creations who should generally hate him in return
we like to joke about sonic being a deadbeat but somehow eggman being a terrible father is too far LMAO
somebody’s itchin’ for a whollopin’, and it won’t even be from da boss
he’s gonna get… i-i can’t even say his name!
big… big johnny! the biggest and baddest goon around ‘ere!
i’ve heard his hands are big enough to crush two goons heads between them at the same time!
he’s missing the sharp head shape, wide eyes (for the scary glare), and darker colors that made metal look so powerful and scary
he’s also missing a lot of that simplistic toy-like quality that ironically made metal more appealing; he’s like an action figure made of knives
sonic just retired in 2009. ever since his cousins have been taking over to less than perfect success
like jaded cousin tony, queer cousin sammy, and adhd cousin henry

sonic losing his composure isn’t what makes him scary. sonic can’t lose his composure.
sonic being in total control of his actions, right or wrong, is what makes him scary.
he’s not a ticking time bomb, he’s a heat seeking missile.
sonic just straight lives forever or some shit
we don’t know how old he is really, we don’t know if he’s even an actual hedgehog
i like to thing he has existed and will exist for all time just as long as people love and believe in him
