I decided kind of on impulse that these guys needed full-on revamps, so let me (re)introduce them!
First is Rue the Wolfdog! Legal name Rubí Rosario, previously known as Ruby Rosario (big change I know /sarcasm). She's also known as the Red-Eyed Beast of the Woods. She's on a search for the man who did this to her, and won't know peace until he's dead.
And then there's Specter and Phantom the Twin Cats! Previously known as Melany and Max. They're a pair of self-proclaimed "reapers" who use their supernatural abilities to hunt evil spirits. They're also Rue's best (and currently only) friends. Possibly siblings? Rue's still figuring that out, but at this point, they might as well be.
I'm hoping these revamps breathe some new life into them and reignite the creative passion I once had for them because GOD I really need it right now.
Finally sat down and redesigned Shadow again. Got tired of my old design for him. I like this one much better
Also. Ghost Maria. Nobody can see her, not even Shadow, but she's always following him around, watching him and silently cheering him on (she looks a bit spooky but dw ghosts just look Like That sometimes)
Friendly reminder that Sonic has a full crawl animation in Sonic Unleashed that happens when he doesn’t have enough speed to slide. It’s especially funny when you mess up in a level and you have to do the crawl of shame under a ledge of some kind. As far as I’m concerned, this is the only game that has this.
