#Sonic is a great character

[thelediz]

I just watched the 3rd sonic movie and it made me reread your 2020 sonic series... it's still as good as I remembered it to be hehe. You don't shy away from the snaggly bits and bumps in the road, if that makes sense - Sonic isn't flattened down to "cute kid", Tom and Maddie aren't perfect parents who get everything right the first time, and they feel so much more like real people that way.

Did you end up watching sonic 2 and 3? Did you enjoy them? :)

Aw, thank you! I love the Wachowskis so much...!

I have seen 2, haven't gotten around to 3 yet though. Honestly, I'll probably wait for it to be on a streaming service. I'd also really like the Knuckles series to be on something other than Paramount Plus so I can watch that because seriously, I am not buying another service, I don't care how much Idris Elba makes me laugh.

I did enjoy Sonic 2, but not as much as 1. The first Sonic movie, in my opinion, was just a Good Kids Movie. The characters stood on their own, it was adorable, it was fun, it had a lot of heart and that was all it needed.

Sonic 2 was a great Sonic Movie. Don't get me wrong, I loved it, I love Tails, I love that they kept Colleen O'Shaughnessey, I love his relationship with Sonic, I ADORE Idris Elba as Knuckles, I love how they adapted Knuckles' 'heel'-face turn, I... enjoyed the Super Sonic bit, mostly because I really, really appreciated Knuckles being like "careful, he's basically a god now, he's not going to be the person you - oh, okay, he's still Sonic, fine, no respect necessary", even if I think how they did that was a little silly. I really enjoy James Marsden and all the human characters, so I thought the wedding was great.

And GUN. Holy wow, I LOVE GUN in Sonic 2, they're SO RIDICULOUS, it's AMAZING. Operation Catfish is so something they would do, it's hilariously horrifying...!

But I think it leaned into the fandom a tiny bit too much. There were all these shout outs to the franchise, these nods and winks, and I didn't feel it was necessary. There were some sequences where I started playing a game with myself, saying "Ice Cap zone, Hidden Palace zone, that specific frame from this game, oh that sound effect's familiar, where do I know that from, hey, look, it's that meme..."

It took me out of the cute story about friends finding each other and reminded me that I was watching something designed to make money.

There's nothing wrong with that. I just liked the first movie more.

But... when Sonic 3 doesn't cost me $50 to see, I will watch it. I'll probably love Keanu!Shadow. Hopefully it will kick-start me into finishing that series, but I doubt it. We shall have to see!

Wait, does Tails have an entire collection of stuffed animals? 🥺

Oh shoot I’m realizing I posted that hc to Twitter but not here lol

Yes. Yes he does.

i keep seeing this tweet and it keeps making me think of them... 🤝my man

not to do them any disservice, they are like genuine actual legitimate friends who respect eachother beyond just their mutual of disdain for eggman. but surely they must joke about it..... we didn't really get to see much of them being realbuds at the end of scrapnik but i want to believe they are So homies now

And now it was Ben Schwartz the one who noticed me! He did a Q&A and got an ask about some Sonic lines that didn't make it into the movie, and I left a comment on his reply, and he liked it and replied with a blue heart emoji! 🥹💙✨

Dude, the first time I heard his voice was when he voiced Randy Cunningham in the cartoon show Randy Cunningham 9th Grade Ninja, and he immediately won my heart with his charm and sense of humor. Seeing how far he have come by voicing Sonic Wachowski in the movies makes me so happy, and having him seeing my art is like a dream come true 🥹🥹🥹

Sonic IDW comic background characters appreciation Each character has their own uniqueness to them that I love them all!

One of several Shadow studies/model sheets I’m making for myself. This take is modeled off of Yuji Uekawa's artwork of the sonic gang during Sonic Adventure 2, though of course with some touches of my own in trying to understand the character.

Feel free to use for reference material, and make tweaks to adjust to your style!

So I'd never really drawn Elise before ! Kind of hard to find the right balance between Sonic character proportions and my regular human art style, huh...

i love putting animals in Extra danger in 4e

ghost in the shell is one of my favourites too, shadow :)

[itz-pandora]

Haha, Zoey 🥰

Girl can fake cry so easily that she doesn't know how it feels to actually cry anymore. Getting her first panic attack TERRIFIES her because she can't control her body in the moment.

Bonus pathetic girl (she's prolly guilting ppl)

She's so normal (not at all)

I just have to sing my praises for Shadow's VA in prime rq I think Ian hanlin does such a fantastic job as shadow I am just. consistently amazed. I think some previous iterations lean a little too hard into the growl but Ian hanlin brings a modernization to the character that I think works really well. Still very clearly Shadow but sounds more natural imo. Genuinely wonderful would love to hear him as shadow in other productions

I saw this art trend(?) on Twitter about drawing your two biggest comfort characters as the Steven Universe meme, so I wanted to draw my share.

Here’s the original tweet btw

[whisper-and-tangle]

[underestimated-shadow]

Wow, what a way to make your movie debut...
