He's baby

In the lore, Biolizard would have grown too fast and too powerful, thus failing, but Gerald used Doom's blood as a stabilizer for Shadow. With that in mind, In my HC he grew to near adulthood rabidly, maybe 2 years or something, but not so fast that he would have been overwhelmed by the power. He grew in spurts, each stage gradually slowing down.

There will be more baby Shadow, I promise. Still trying to figure out how I wanna draw maria... this was a while ago, though, so I will try again soon.

Kids do grow up fast though, I once saw a boy grow a foot in like 3 days. Wild stuff, tbh.

Jeff Fowler shared the first concept art with Maria and Shadow. And he is so fascinatingly beautiful that there are no words.

JOKE-OGRAPHY: 1. The internet has a long and storied history of random, unsolicited Christian Sonic fanart. I’m not sure why this is, but as a random, unsolicited Christian myself, I figured it was time I added to that legacy. This cartoon features Shadow the Hedgehog (Sonic’s edgy rival) praying the rosary before a shrine to the Blessed Virgin Mary. He says “Ave Maria” because that’s the first line of the “Hail Mary” (a popular Catholic prayer) in Latin, but is also a reference to Shadow’s best friend from his tragic backstory: Maria. 2. Sonic Adventure was one of the first games I remember playing. My brothers, cousins, and I would spend all our limited gaming time playing it on my uncle’s Sega Dreamcast. When the sequel, Sonic Adventure 2, came out, my grandparents got it for me as an early birthday gift. Even my sisters enjoyed the games because of the adorable Chao Garden (bring it back, Sega, you cowards). Anyway, the series has had its ups and downs since then, but it’ll always hold a special place in my heart. Sonic Adventure 2 also introduced Shadow the Hedgehog and his tragic backstory with Maria, which the new movie, Sonic the Hedgehog 3, finally adapted for the big screen. I never thought I’d see the day. 3. The description under the cartoon is a parody of “All Hail Shadow”, a theme song from the notorious Shadow the Hedgehog spin-off game from 2005. Instead of the original lyrics, I've turned it into a revamped “Hail Mary” prayer, because all things will submit to God.

EGGMAN SLAPPING HIS OWN LOGO OVER THE GUN EMBLEM IS HILARIOUS, BUT I NEED YA’LL TO TALK MORE ABOUT THE DRIED BLOODSTAINS ON GERALD’S JOURNAL! IT’S HARD TO SEE SINCE THE OUTER LAYER IS BLACK, BUT IT’S THERE! YOU CAN NEVER TELL ME THAT THIS THING WASN’T PRESENT DURING THE SCENE OF “THE INCIDENT.” I AM NOT CRAZY!

We've got one final gift for the Year of Shadow: a warm season's greeting from Shadow and Maria, along with the rest of us at ASO! Enjoy however you spend today as fearless as the ultimate lifeform! And remember, a shadow can show you where to find the light.

A song you forgot.

small comic of the Ark siblings and a sequel to that drawing i made of them listening to music.

It says it in the first page but still: song is Sweet happy life,specifically Peggy Lee's version from 1966. It has absolutely nothing to do with SA2 but i feel like its the kind of song that Maria would have liked at the time: https://open.spotify.com/track/4QJ1F5dFjDTnoHgew9cdRr?si=fwqd_aYGQtqoVvGtECtFGw
