hello everyone it is time for my favourite shitpost comics i've ever made

originally the main antagonist of Shattered Worlds was Shadowy, a parallel to Mephiles in a similar way to Chrome being a parallel to Silver. he stole the Phoenix Orb that Chrome was supposed to be guardian of, ran amok with it, and then got exploded. the shards of the orb would've been scattered throughout the Shattered Worlds, but Shadowy himself would've been still clinging to live in the nullspace between worlds

(as a side note, you would not believe how hard i lost my shit when i played Forces and found out the Phantom Ruby warps reality and can access a dimension called Nullspace)

anyway. none of that matters. what does matter is that shadowy may not be actually canon to CV outside of the limbo of Early Installment Weirdness but he is extremely fun to draw and his voice is now permanently rtfd mephiles

real time fandub sonic 06 is full of good quotes to draw guys to and also permanently altered my personality. man i should rewatch it, i drew this when it came out i think

OH HEY LOOK ROUGE IS HERE. HI ROUGE

[chasingvelocity]

whoops this was supposed to be in the same batch of posts as the double and kara ones i think but some of this is out of order in my folder

im actually not really a fan of [fandom]-incorrect-quotes blogs but they can be fun for ocs. case in point: double

in which chrome gets bullied

Chrome's initial concept back in 2013 Shattered Worlds (the previous version of CV) was they were a parallel to Silver (not quite an AU version, but with a lot of intentional visual similarities and powers) and attempted guardian of a power stone with the power to warp reality. except things went horribly wrong and they were scrambling around trying to fix things before they went from bad to worse. they would've had to team up with King to.. mixed results.. because King is not the easiest person to get along with. at all.

later SW would get entirely scrapped asides from Early Installment Weirdness, and Chrome ended up being pretty instrumental in that. so hey, they're still around somehow!

an old memory i have is of silver's "I can't grab lasers with my psychokinesis!" voice line getting ridiculed a lot so uhhh. King yells at Chrome about it. yea

brought to you by an incorrect-oc-quotes blog: this is pretty on-brand for Double, actually

this is maybe my favourite way i've drawn double. he looks so cuddly while also being a mess of a man

Chasing Disaster is a fun arc for everybody and nobody gets traumatized!

Tails is coming off the heels of Colours (where he'd been brainwashed and halfway roboticized) when Sonic gets kidnapped and presumed dead in the lead-up to Forces, and he... takes it poorly! Infinite sends him into an extended breakdown by using illusions to mess with his head, and while he's able to hold his own against fake Chaos, seeing Sonic alive and well... well, that can't possibly be real, can it?

meanwhile, Rags has just ended up in a city under siege and has lost track of both his older self and the two Tailses he'd been running through time with, so he's glad to see a familiar face! ...and then the familiar face tries to blast him, screams at him, and runs away. um. the situation may be more complicated than he first thought.

on the other end of the spectrum of "what Aile has to put up with"...

this is a pretty vital scene, and one that i've been struggling to figure out how to tell. i wrote an incomplete ficlet, struggled with it a lot, and then drew this as a companion to that.

the tl;dr is that Aile joins up with what would later become Team Comeback (Double, Copy, and Vent) while on the run from Eggman after being partially roboticized. it takes him a bit to warm up to everybody, but Vent's good at breaking through his barriers and getting him to relax and think things were gonna turn out okay.

and then Vent has to go all-out with no heads-up, and suddenly Aile's very aware that his new best friend was secretly a killer robot just like what he'd nearly been turned into. he takes it poorly, there's a big fight, and later Vent sits down and has a complicated talk about what he is, why he hides it, and how he doesn't mean Aile any harm.

it's a really big milestone for the, but it's... hard. finding the right way to convey the right emotions is tough, especially with how clumsy these two are about their feelings, so i'm probably gonna come back to this.

experiment with panel layouts turned into plot stuff! aaog

near the end of Forces, someone new gets dragged back to the Resistance HQ: Dr. Brenlo, a member of GUN's R&D that vanished not long before Vent was discovered in a wrecked Eggman base. he quickly owes up to his role in everything - he changed sides to the Eggman Empire early on and helped design and create a superweapon capable of ending the Resistance once and for all.

of course, things went wrong, and the superweapon - a highly advanced android made using data from Neo Metal Sonic and Emerl, capable of shapeshifting, copying weaponry, and improvising tactics on the fly to adapt to any situation - activated early and nearly killed him. Brenlo was able to escape, and has been on the run from the Eggman Empire ever since. now that the superweapon's in the hands of the Resistance, though, Brenlo has come to them with a warning: it may be on their side for now, but how long until it drops the facade and rips them apart from the inside?

with the Resistance slowly losing trust in him, Vent's in a difficult spot. Brenlo's story fills in the gaps in his memory, but he still feels like there's something missing. the question is if he'll be able to find that missing link in time, and how much of it has to do with Aile.

more incorrect quotes! i really need to draw Kara more. she's the power member of Team Horizons, Sik's self-proclaimed older sister, fights for fun and is always raising some kind of hell, and has pyrokinesis in the form of "can set herself on fire". she rules.

[chasingvelocity]

out of context snippet from a RP that's a pretty good showcase of what Aile has to put up with every day of his life

[chasingvelocity]

more Bridge shenanigans! in which Sonic learns some things don't carry over between universes

tl;dr worldbuilding to explain a joke: most of the CV cast has two names! like how Tails is Miles Prower aka Tails the Fox. Shadow got named Terios Robotnik by Professor Gerald, Sonic found out, and now she pesters them by calling them Terry bc she thinks it's a funny name for an edgelord (and Shadow isn't bothered by it)

this.. is not the case for the other version of Shadow she eventually runs into.

hi i still have backlog i just forgot to post these bc i was playing frontiers! oh hey time for some random side characters saying incorrect quotes

Terra is a seedrian! she looks a bit different now bc for a while i wasn't sure how i wanted seedrians to look in CV whoops. my updated notes on her are also currently misplaced so i can't.. actually say much about her.. because everything i remember is out of date! hooray

meanwhile Octave is fairly straightforward: she's a minor antagonist, she's a petty jerk, and the only person she gets along with is.. maybe the only human oc in CV so far

[chasingvelocity]

sketches for what was going to be the first full issue, Checkpoint! a loose adaption of Sonic 1, doing the whole origin story thing with Sonic running into Eggman for the first time and trying to get the Chaos Emeralds before he could so she can save the island and her friends. normal stuff.

i still have the full script for this chapter, so i could make something out of it maybe? im making absolutely no promises though because my current plans are to continue the out-of-order random character comics seeing as anything else seems to make me explode

[chasingvelocity]

the only completed pages of @chasingvelocitycomic! oops i got 3 pages in and then sonic fell into a black hole and died

there was going to be way more to this, and i had an entire adaption of sonic 1 scripted out and thumbnailed on paper, but energy fizzled out and i wasn't sure if i'd be able to keep up momentum doing a fully polished comic. and then it was long enough that it felt awkward thinking about trying to pick up where i left off, so.. it's just been sitting there unfinished for years now.

terminal velocity act 2 is maybe one of my favourite moments in any sonic game. it's cool as hell!

[chasingvelocity]

DISCLAIMER: VENT IS FINE. HE'S A ROBOT. EVERYTHING IS A-OK although aile probably should put his head back despite the urges to recite theatre or throw it like football

this is a redraw of something back from the pre-CV days! back when Aile was fairly new as a character and was only just starting to have a dynamic with Vent. he's been through enough that he's allowed to sass people (especially Vent)

[chasingvelocity]

okay i'm posting these in order of being drawn for the most part but considering the first few comics here are Copy-centric here's ANOTHER thing i drew way later that's kind of the ?? end ?? of the little backstory thing

daedalus aka dallas the maned wolf is adjusting to his new life after the destruction of westopolis. he works as part of GUN's r&d now, he fought aliens, and he's starting to be very, very tired.

and then there's a loud thump from the other room, and on the floor is someone that looks near-exactly like him. because apparently a version of himself from another universe decided to see if he can travel to another dimension and it worked.

they're both named Daedalus, so they had to figure out what to call each other. there was a joke about "okay, which one of us is the real Dallas", and the answer was "uh.. neither of us, technically? that's not something that applies here", and one of them went "alright. you're my copy, and i'm your double", and the other one thought that was really funny, so now they're Copy and Double :D
