If I had a nickel for every time a piece of Sonic media has one of the characters seriously consider marrying a member of the audience, I’d have two nickels - which isn’t a lot but yadda yadda you know the meme. Funniest part is how Blaze doesn’t necessarily even drop the idea, she just says they’ll work on it.

My main 3 OCs <3

pls attack them on artfight!! no pressure it would just be really cool if u did >.<

I drew my wizard. It's giving me

"Stop taking photos of me, it's embarrassing.."

Oh that scar? Too many Insane Bolts to the face.

That spooky eye stuff is from Khrysalis, nothing to worry about here. Just shadow magic. Totally not important.

I draw my wizards with elf ears because before the revamp, the character models had pointy ears so I assumed that the wizard was like some half elf or something. So all my wizards have pointy ears. :U

Damn, I forgot her lightning bolt earring. Oh well.

Sonic forces came out in 2017, which just feels really weird tbh.

Anyway I've been listening to a bunch of Sonic music tracks, and been thinking about the OC or 'original the character'...

Writing characters that represent the player is actually fascinating. They can't express opinions that may conflict with one an actual player might have, are usually good/correct sided, and probably a main character. Then I started thinking about writing some of this down because it's fun to play around with as a concept, maybe right out some scenes...

Should I start writing a fic? I got some solid concepts but tbh some advice would be nice.

So far I'm thinking, like it's most of the normal stuff in the exposition but OC or whatever starts out fairly moderate in morality with a pretty average view because they are a random person. But become more developed, like how in a 'choose your story' game you slowly get traits and paths, becoming a character with more developed opinions and beliefs.

It won't be a choose your adventure, but that's one of the many ways a player-representative character can be developed and become interesting, rather than be a self-insert sonic clone with 20000 sets of clothes.

So I'm thinking of using the character as a piece on character development. A seemingly blank canvas, but with inkstains under a layer of white paint or something. Self-discovery and the deal.

And it's gonna be SFW of course, if anyone was gonna ask.

Gift: Sonic Wolf OC

Gift done for a friend's birthday. We had an in-joke about Sonic OCs and that he needed one, so I had made him one months before (no actual name, but dubbed "Original the Character"). This was that same design, done in the Yuji Uekawa style.

Maxine and her mother went out for some morning coffee. Dense fogs is perfect weather for drinking something hot.

Back when I was about fifteen, the art/chat community I was involved in were in a frenzy about copyright violation, and were jumping on each other as lawbreakers for giving their characters things like purple hair or baggy pants. Meanwhile one of them had an "original character" that was just Chuckie Finster from Rugrats as a panda - his name was even still Finster. It was hilarious.

The Murder of Sonic The Hedgehog: Can We Get More of This?

No joke. You might have noticed from my sudden return to activity after a while, but I really, really liked The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog. Gaming April Fools jokes are quirky and weird by nature - that’s the point. But every once in a while a game developer will release an April Fool’s joke that is so fun and unique in its quirkiness that it takes off and completely captures the audience with its charm. Sometimes these are even on purpose - attempts to test the waters and deliver some fun at the same time, like the trailer for Fighting Ex Layer. Sometimes it’s probably not, but... maybe it could be. I think that’s what The Murder of Sonic the Hedgehog could be.

I‘ve been a Sonic fan for a very, very long time. I’ve loved most games in the series for the whole length of that time. There are few Sonic games I could say I outright dislike, tbh. But something I’ve long felt the Sonic series could’ve benefited from way back when was a stronger spinoff game. I think people give spinoffs a bad rap just on principle. “Why make disposable spinoffs when we can focus on making mainline games?”, people say (Sonic fans are also a bit unreasonably petrified of alternate gameplay styles). But I think that’s the missing the point. Spinoffs are a major part of what gives game series their identity - especially family focused series like Sonic. Not just because they give accessibility to a wider range of gamers, but because they make a buffer zone. Main line games take a long time. You have to wait years to see it, and if it has problems... well... that’s the reputation of the series for the next few years until the next game comes around. Spinoffs, however, mean that there’s always something involving the character out there to keep people interested. I means that if even if one game isn’t so good, there’s always others out there delivering quality. It gives the series something to look at at all times, and that gives it longevity. So why think about Sonic, a series about super speed and hi-momentum platforming, and make a visual novel spinoff? Visual novels are slow by nature, static images and careful deduction. Well... you make it for exactly the reasons everyone loved Murder.

People like these characters. People really like these characters. They’re fun. They’re all unique from each other. And they bounce off each other so well. But Sonic fans rarely get the chance to really experience the characters. Sonic’s long had a problem of loads of characters without quite knowing what to do with them. Characters like Rouge, a jewel thief primarily used for spy parodies, just plain isn’t going to be in most Sonic games - the games don’t have those kinds of plots often.

But that’s where a visual novel shines. Visual novels are all about going from scene to scene interacting with large swaths of characters, quirky conversations and unexpected character and plot developments. It’s not just that you can use tons of characters, but that you can give them center stage far more freely than you can in a platformer or a more action-focused plot. Sonic has been absolutely killing it this past year with adaptations and projects that were all about exploring the characters and what makes them fun, and Murder’s just the latest example. All the characters get segments to themselves to show off, tell jokes, and be fun - it’s silly and cartoony, charming with lots of character moments and eccentric turns, and it’s perfect for Sonic. So I really want to see more of this sort of thing!

We could get more parodies like this - hey, if Detective Pikachu can be a thing, why not more Detective Tails? Or we could get more involved stories. Something more Adventure-esque, or something more Saturday Morning Cartoon-y like Colors. Or a mixture of both! Character focused, or whole cast all at once just like this. Another everyman as the focus character, or one of the cast - Tails actually makes a very good protagonist for this sort of thing. The sky is the limit, here. Even this little April Fools joke gave us a surprising amount of worldbuilding and fun ideas I hope get revisited someday. Plus, it has to be said that visual novels take an entirely different creative process than platform games, and this game indeed was made by a third party, so the crowd nervous that any spinoff could take away from the development of the main titles doesn’t really have much to worry about: in the end, these would be made by different teams. It’s just a good idea all around. So I really hope this doesn’t get abandoned. Give us the continued spinoff visual novel / point and click adventures of Sonic and friends. I imagine any future ones wouldn’t still be free, but sure I’ll pay for it. Why not? I mean, you’ve got a perfect premise right here:

Eggman Industries’ Famous Eggscape Rooms! They’ll scramble your brains. And maybe your lifespan.
