Sonic with baby Shadow! Finally writing something for this!! Also still trying to think of title ideas.. (Might keep a funny one I thought of).

Part 1: A Little Stuck

Hands cupped around a small, fragile package as he keeps it close to his chest in an effort to protect it. He hurriedly rushes through a deep, swampy forest he’s not the most familiar with. Shoes soaked and slipping in the muddiest puddles as rain pours down all around.

He wasn’t even sure where he was heading anymore, under all these thick, slumped trees. And even that doesn’t change that rain still manages to coat him all over, leaving him dripping wet as he continues to scramble away with something needing protecting.

He was covered in small aches and pains from the battle he’d just managed to escape, although, barely as he still runs from the shrieking engine of his mechanical copy, and his many other clone brothers–er- whatever they’re called. Being hunted through this wretched weather fog was not on his day-plan.

Seeing a nice cover under a short, stubby tree hanging over–his quick feet slip not so graciously a few times as he attempts to turn in the tree's direction. One of his hands had to pull free of protecting his package in order to catch himself briefly so he could book-it for the tree.

His free hand swats the large, hanging leaves of the drooping tree, out of his way before he dives towards the trunk, where the ground’s layered in a puddle, like everywhere else. The leaf slides back down, shadowing the hedgehog in its protection as speeding blurs zip by, almost endlessly.

He carefully curls around himself, subconsciously trying to shield what he holds, as his eyes dart back and forth, zoning in on every single bot that speeds by, making sure they don’t catch notice of him in his last minute hiding spot.

When the last one zips by, and the engines are no longer in range to be heard, he slumps in relief, finally exhaling to breathe properly. Only then, does he realize how protective he was acting towards his company, and he awkwardly clears his throat, opening his hands to reveal his little companion. A little black and red hedgehog, looking up at him with big, reflective ruby red eyes. Eyes that hold nothing but innocent curiosity, a childish curiosity that doesn’t belong on the face of his rival.

“Uh.. Shadow?” He voices, trying to be quiet in case the Metal Sonic’s weren’t too far off. “Do you.. Understand me?”

The little hedgehog just sits in the palms of his soaked hands, also a little wet, but doesn’t react in any way that would suggest he’d even spoken to the little guy.

With an overly stressed and frustrated groan, he pulls a hand free to brush back his own messed up quills, trying to ease the way they started to spike out in defense. His eyes, panickily glued to the little hog in his hand.

“Okay.. It’s fine.” He tries to ease, with a slight shake of his voice. “If I can just get a hold of Tails, he should be able to… ah.. Right.. Communicator was destroyed and lost.” He thinks aloud, eyes now traveling down to his bare wrist, where a few deep cuts lie, a pinkish-red, staining his fur where the rain washed at it.

“And Tails is halfway across the world, right now..” He adds with an uneasy sound, shrunken, tired eyes, drifting back to the mini hedgehog in his grasp, which has now lost interest in him, and is looking around the makeshift tree-tent they are currently sitting beneath.

Lips pulled tight, tension making him feel antsy, he watches the little hedgehog, unable to process much outside of: “We’re in trouble…”

A chill riding up his spine, finally draws his mind back into his body and–oh–does he feel the shiver that wracks him from the ice-cold mini-pool he’s sitting in, along with how soaked he already is, rain getting through his quills and fur as if he were in the ocean. Running helped keep his adrenaline going, it kept him warm, kept him busy. Now, he can feel the blistering chill of the wind blowing through the leaves, hitting his drenched self, and feeling as though it’s tearing straight through him. It felt about as cold as winter! The only–hardly–good thing about that, was the fact it numbed most of the injuries he’d sustained over the course of their battle with Metal Sonic and his army of twins.

A particularly sharp gust of wind blew through, and reflexively made him curl in on himself. Shivering against the thick trunk of the tree, he notices he’s not the only one getting affected by the extreme weather and lack of action. A faint trembling in his hand, had him look down to the tiny curled ball in his palm, that is shivering up a storm of its own. A small, shaky, squeak sounding from the wet ball of fur.

Reacting on instincts and past experience–with a–not as young–fox–he immediately rips off his soaked gloves, dropping them in the pool of water as he cups his hands around the little hedgehog, trying to help warm him up again.

“Sorry, Shads..” His voice cuts a little from the cold. “If I could, I’d get a fire or something going, but-” Another gust of wind cuts his sentence off short, and he turns his back to it, curling more around the little hedgehog in his hands. “I don’t even see why I’m explaining this to you..” He shivers out. “You’re nowhere near old enough to understand this stuff right now. And even if you can understand, you’d already know from the obvious.”

Outside their little tent is barely lit from daylight trying to illuminate through the thick, gray clouds rolling in, leaving the inside of their natural tent, nearly pitchblack. As that does make their hiding spot safer from the mirror army of droids, it is also making running home right now a more dangerous option. Not being able to see his enemies coming, or where he’s going, especially with all this heavy rain. Tonight was going to be a trip…

The occasional sounds of the robotic copies engines whirring out with a speeding light not too far, suggests those machines were still on the hunt, and since water doesn’t seem to affect them, they’d likely be looking all night long if it came to it. Meaning, he’s going to need to move places soon. But that won’t be happening until he’s certain these copies are far enough away that he won’t draw any attention.

It was getting darker, and the rainwater on the ground was now reaching his ankles, and he can officially say his feet were numb. The rain had long since gotten through his shoes and filled them with water, soaking his socks, too, and as uncomfortable as it is, he’d also accepted the fact he’d have to deal with it, till he can get back to Tails’ lab.

With a shaky exhale, he leans forward, away from the trunk of the tree, checking outside their little tent for the fifth time since daylight died out. Leaving things next to pitchblack, and making it to where the vaguest of shadows were his only indication that something was there. At least, until another Metal clone came flying back, leaving an orange glow in its wake.

The area seemed clear. He hasn’t seen, nor heard anything, though, that could be because of the lack of light, and the overwhelming splashing of the rain, along with the rumbling claps of thunder. Seeing or hearing anything right now, would be near impossible. But he hasn’t seen any bright glowing red eyes, or orange flaming engines flying around, so that should, hopefully, mean they’re in the clear. For now..

Unable to see in the dark, he brushes a thumb over the quilled ball in his cupped hands, trying to check on the little fluff ball, who’s no longer shivering. A rough vibration with a small gruff sound from the little hedgehog was enough of a warning to not do that again. Okay. He still doesn’t like being touched. Noted.

Unfortunately, though, in this situation, without the advantage of sight; Sonic needed a free hand to feel around for directions, so Shadow was going to have to deal with it. And so, he shifted the little quilled ball into one hand–earning another little growl at the movement–and held him against his chest to help with keeping the wind from him.

And with a free hand, he reaches down into the water feeling for where he’d discarded his gloves–not wishing to leave a trail–before he steps out of their little shield in hopes of finding better shelter for the night. At least, someplace much drier.

“You are so going to owe me after this.” He grumbles aloud. The thunder, so graciously covering it up. Though, I do really hope you don’t remember any of this after you’re back to normal.

More Baby Shadow and Sonic doodles!

Okay, so the second one was originally just a Sonic doodle, but then I randomly added tiny Shadow in there and didn't want to erase him. XD Especially since the sternness from Sonic actually fits the scenario they're currently stuck in.

Also, the doodle of baby Shadow on Sonic's head is more for size comparison, than for accuracy in doodle designs. lol That's partially why Shadow's a rough little scribble. Lol

Summary:

"Blurry vision, looking over the dusty clearing. Most of the grass was torn up and gone, leaving exposed dirt and mud everywhere. The ground was also a deeper, darker color in most places, ranging closer to black, like char.

He also notes several blobs lying scattered around on the destroyed land. He worries what those might be, but through the ringing in his ears, a quiet sound angled more above his head towards the trees, had his swaying vision shifting up to see a splotch of yellow lying further away."

Warning: Blood and Gore (Though, it's not colored)

[How's this hedgehog still alive after this? No one knows. He's just a cockroach hedgehog, is all I can say.]

Future Chaos

Sonic: "After all these years... Who would've guessed you'd need my help?"

~In the future, when everyone's already gone, and Shadow's one of the last one's left... he finds it difficult to keep pushing forward, even when a new threat arises.

And yet, he's not alone.~

[An idea that was inspired by someone else's post. Something about Shadow giving up, and Sonic's voice/ghost tells Shadow he's more stubborn than that.

It literally gave me this idea for a Future AU. I already have a few ideas for it. :3 So, whoever posted that, THANKS FOR THE INSPIRATION! (Sorry I don't remember who you are.. :^)]

Dynamic Posing Practice!

A screenshot redraw from Dolphyn's Deck's YouTube. Dolphyn's Deck - YouTube

[I asked for permission before doing this!]

Definitely need to practice more with colors, modes, filters, etc. But this was a lot of fun to make, and I look forward to doing more! :)

*DO NOT STEAL* Thank you!

Summary:

"It was another sunny day, lying on a hillside, beneath the shade of an oak tree. He took a deep breath through his nose and exhaled through an open smile. Hands tucked behind his head like a pillow, with his legs laying straight in the soft grass.

The quiet comfort of the changing seasons was abruptly interrupted by someone outright dropping onto his gut. With a grunt, he jerks at the sudden attack, and opens his eyes in stunned panic as his mind registers the pink quills, and red bandana under his muzzle."

[Wrote a Sonic Prime one-shot on paper and was about to write it out on AO3, but I came across this Sonamy picture before I got started, so then when my hands hit the keyboard, I ended up writing something Sonamy related instead, and then.. my brain took it a more depressing route... Why am I like this?]

Drawing Sonamy activates my neurons

When you spend hours of your day, working on a piece that you really want to make, and you're actually decently happy with the result, but end up overwriting the original document with a rough sketch of another WIP...

This shot was a picture I made for Sonic X Shadow Generations: One Step Forward, and Falling Back.

I was pretty happy with how it turned out, since it's one of the few pictures I've done with real improvement since my first time really drawing Sonic or Shadow, which was... over a year--to two years ago? Don't remember how long it's been, but anyway, I was happy with this.

Then, opening Photoshop to sketch some more, I noticed the document for it, wasn't listed in my 'Recents,' and was confused, until I saw the title for it, was listed, but with a different WIP sketch, instead. So, I ended up overwriting the previous save of the document of this finished shot of Shadow and Maria, without knowing it. So that document doesn't exist anymore, and I'm so mad about it!

It literally drained whatever motivation I had to draw... Like- COME ON!!! All that work!

Sonic - Mini Skit:

Doctor: "Okay, what's the problem?"

Sonic: "Got hurt in a fight. Still hasn't healed."

Doctor: "Where?"

Sonic: "Right leg."

Doctor: *does X-ray*

Doctor: "What the-!?"

Sonic: "Is there a problem-?"

Doctor: "'Is there a--' YES THERE'S A PROBLEM!"

Amy: "What's wrong?"

Tails: "Is he okay?"

Doctor: "He's broken his leg in several places, almost completely through!"

Amy & Tails: "WHAT!?"

Knuckles: "... okay, wow."

Sonic: "Wait, really?"

Doctor: "YES!" *flips screen around to show x-ray*

Tails: "UH-OW!?"

Amy: "SONIC!"

Sonic: "What!? I didn't know!?"

Tails & Amy: "YOU DIDN'T KNOW!?"

Doctor: "How are you even conscious right now!?"

Sonic: *shrugs*

Doctor: "When'd this happen!?"

Sonic: "When I broke it?"

Doctor: *nods*

Sonic: "Well, I was fighting Eggman's robots again a couple days ago and hurt my leg. Thought it'd just get better, but when it didn't-"

Doctor: "'COUPLE DAYS AGO!?'"

Tails & Amy: "WHAT!?"

Sonic: *holds his hands up* "I didn't know, okay!?"

Amy: "How do you not know you broke your leg that badly!?"

Knuckles: "Dude. You could break your spine and still walk away like nothing happened."

Tails & Amy: "KNUCKLES!"

Knuckles: "What!?"

[Honestly, been thinking about this, myself. lol It's both amazingly absurd, and yet, very concerning.]

Something interesting about Final Horizon

All of Sonic's friends nearly collapse upon interacting with the cyber-corruption once, even Knuckles. Really shows how much pain Sonic had to endure during Frontiers, and makes you wonder if he's used to smiling through intense pain.

Summary: "One moment, he’s on his own, debating on taking Rouge’s offer to join her and the others for Sonic’s birthday party, and then the next, the sky’s ripping open with some strange looking portal, and he’s being pulled in. Everything goes white, and when he comes to, he’s in a very familiar, long, metallic hallway."

Yep, that redraw contest lasted a few rounds, then we did a few more, today. So.. I've got a list of redraw shots, now. XD

IDEA - Sonic jumping into two feet of water. (Yesterday):

(oh gosh, this still makes me cringe.. LOLOL!! [I was wheezing so hard trying to do this one.])

2. IDEA - Sonic before taking his leap of faith into the water. (Yesterday):

(Amy is me when I was trying to do that first one. Lol! And Sonic is me when I finished that first one. LOL)

3. IDEA - Sonic protecting his chilidogs. (Today):

(This one was fun. :3 Though, I did have trouble trying to emphasis that it was chilidogs he was holding. [They're in a bag])

4. IDEA - You know what to do. (Today):

(Yes. Yes, I did. HA!)

5. IDEA - HMMMMMM!!! (Today):

(Was going to add Amy as Mikey but ran out of energy. Lol)

[So, that was fun! XD AND CRINGY!]

*DO NOT STEAL!* Thank you!

My sisters and I were doing a little drawing challenge.

We'd pick out screenshots from different shows and send them to each other with an idea of a redraw, and we'd have to redraw it with that idea.

Here's the shot I had to redraw.

And the idea I was given, was literally just: "Shadow. Figure it out." XD

They had no idea what I should redraw this as, just that Robin felt like a partially grumpy Shadow, and I just kind of went with it for the rest.

Except, Shadow's not really the grumpy one, here. Lol!

No context but hope that the expressions give enough away with what happened out of the shot. LOL

~NO STEALING~ (If anyone tries to steal or copy this, that would make no sense, as it's a rough mess.. BUT STILL DON'T TRY!) Thank you!

Sonic the Hedgehog - Super Sonic Comic Page:

This took me several hours, non-stop for a few days to finish, and there's still points in it that were rushed and sloppy. (Most notable point of slop is the "SNAP" text. LOL) Not the best thing I've made, and certainly not my favorite for a lot of the flaws it has, but I'm fairly happy with the result. Mainly the actual designed style for Sonic, which did surprise me, honestly. XD Thought he'd look way worse, but hey! I'm happy!

Hope you all like it!

Who is he fighting? I have no clue, but they put up quite a fight for the ruined land in the background. There literally is no planned context for this, so you all can imagine whatever. Maybe he's fighting his shadow... NOT SHADOW THE HEDGEHOG, just to clarify! XD Man... The Sonic world is complicated. lol

~In Case It Wasn't Readable~

Sonic: "Well, then..."

*snaps his fingers*

Sonic: "Don't say I didn't warn ya."

*DO NOT STEAL!* Thank you!

Random Doodles of Baby Shadow when Sonic's forced to watch over him. ~ ;3

Okay, so I don't have a story or comic or- anything for this, yet, but I really wanted to doodle these specific shots I thought of real quick.

There's this idea I had with Sonic and Shadow heading out on a mission, and thing's kind of take an unexpected turn that leaves the blue-blur on babysitting duty.

Best part? It's literally only Sonic and Shadow in the middle of nowhere. No help, no supplies, nothing. So... how do things go? About as well as one would expect. HEH!

*Do NOT Steal* Thank you!~

Sonic Prime - Finale Rewrite? Sonic Prime & Avengers: Infinity War Peter Parker Dying Scene, recreated to be Sonic dying. This was a random silly idea at first, but I decided to keep going with it. :) Hopefully you all liked it. I got awfully sloppy with a lot of it. Didn't bother finishing some of the hand and shoe basic sketches, and just left them as warped blobs and such. lol But, as long as it gets the meaning across, I'm good with it. I would've done a fully finished comic, but I knew I'd never get it done, so I just left it as the sloppy sketchy mess it is. Did enjoy taking my time on the last panel, though. :3 Sonic as Peter Parker/Spider-Man Shadow as Tony Stark/Iron-Man

~The heart is for my signature in the background, not for the characters and panels, etc. lol Sorry if it was misinterpreted as such.~ *DO NOT TAKE, COPY, OR REDRAW* ~No stealy~
