I have a similar idea about Silver being a kind of Shadow in his creation. But they didn't got enough power to grow him into an adult creature so he was a baby able to grow whith some instructions, like a normal baby.

Shadow found this baby avandoned in a tube lab (think went wrong because a future disaster or somenthing) and adopted him.

Doodle of a headcanon, people usually say Silver is Shadow's or Sonic's descendant, but personally I think he was created as a way to deal with Iblis. I think one of Eggman's descendants would have been the likely one to do it. I go more into it in my personal 06 rewrite, that I might work more on at some point, but in it both Silver and Blaze's powers are connected to Solaris, which is why Silver can travel through time and despite changing the past still continues to exist.

How it was made behind the "read more" thing!👇

----------------1.References-----------------

As reference I used this pages from a Sonic IDW comic recopilation I have, and my experience drawing the character (search Hopeless future comic chapter 1 and 2 for example). Silver is specially hard to animate not only because of his hair shape, but because of the lack of public oficial reefsheets he have. This is probably due to the fact that he NEVER has apeared on a TV show or media. Like for example "Sonic X".

----------------2.Rought pass---------------

The most important part of any 2D animation: start very VERY simple so you don't die trying to animating. (But first the storyboard. This animation was planed since a lot of time and that's why it doesn't apear here but I also made a storyboard for the ocasion. It is lost on some sketchbook so that's why is not apearing on this Making of 😅

The "K" on some frames are for mark the Keyposes, the rest are inbetweens. Is the first time on decades that I use the timing charm too. As you can see, the character movements are slowest when the animation is finishing, as the timing charm is marking.

-------------3.Rought animation------------

Once the Rought pass was done, I used it as a base for create a more detailed sketch. Here you can already recognice the character

------------------4.Cleanup------------------

This was the most tedious and time-consuming part of this animation (And I think it is on all the 2D animations). Because cleanup is not about creating, it is about refining what already exists, taking care that the original message remains intact and at the same time is clear and better understood than the sketch. My back still hurts.

I made the the breakdown frame to stay more time too. This wasn't the final cleanup, just the version after aplying some corrections.

---------------5.Final render-----------------

The background + the efects + the colors and such. This is the animation over the "read more" thing. The background here and the efects was completely improvised using the features that Opentoonz provided.

--------------------Extra--------------------

-This animation took only 5 hours to be made and it was started and finished literaly today 10/August/2024

-The intention on this animation was to show how Silver take out his ears for listen things due that in some versions of him, you can't see his ears normaly.

-Everything was animated on the program "Opentoonz". An open source program that was used by Studio Gilbi.

-I also discovered that there's a way to make an anime filter there but I never tried it.

Why the Octonauts episodes release are taking so long to be released gobally (theory)

This is an idea that crossed my mind this morning. I don't known from where I took this information of China being so hard to convince to distribute a series on their country, maybe from Steven universe but nothing is comfirmed so take this whith a graint of salt.

The think is that China is a very reserved country whith a very unique culture. And the Octonauts, are very popular on there.

So that makes me think that someone or some group on preproduction or the category who decides the terms and conditions on distribution (idk if it the same group who put the money, I don´t fully known how an animation empress works), decided that the season five, along whith the rest of new content, have to be China exclusive for a while for some reason.

I found this reddit article written 2 years ago that talks more in deep about the season five situation https://www.reddit.com/r/Octonauts/comments/r4k515/where_is_octonauts_season_5_what_happened/

On another point, the evidence that the series has become very China centric decades on a special saga named "Journey to China". A spinoff that takes the "chinification" of the series to the extreme (and it's actually very probably to be a series that never leaves China legally, and that we never have an official dubbing into other languages of it for the rest of the world due to the circumstances. But remember, this is all speculaion and nothing is confirmed).

Another efect of the "chinafication" of the show, is the appearence of new characters bassed on chinesse animals. The most notorious would be Min the red panda and Paani, who is a species of monkey that despite coming from India, can also be found on China. He also replaces Kwazzi in most of the episodes of above an beyond (presumibly due to the chinafication)

This would be the end of my theory, remember that all is especulative and that nothing confirmed, put your thoughts on the comments

Nah, he licks himself every morning, that's why he's so clean and resistant to the amount of viruses of the past that got extint on the future :v

I was wondering how Silver could look so clean despite living in Crisis City. Maybe that aura keeps him clean? Is that one of his powers?

and then I realized something.

Silver can control things on a molecular level.

Silver's Shield of Light lets him bend literal light. That is photons, Subatomic Particles that he can manipulate with his powers.

So if Silver can clean himself with his powers on a molecular level then he might actually be the single cleanest living thing on earth despite living in the dirtiest environment.

you know, Sonic movie 3 ignoring all the loggic of being born artificially for giving us baby shadow would be wholesome

[deadnymaster]

Yin wishes you a happy halloween 🌑

[deadnymaster]

chilling

[deadnymaster]

If you think about it, Sonic 06 whithout the gameplay and only the cinematics has a better narrative that if you actually play the game

"Search for Eggman clues at the beach" and "find the policeman boss" just killed a lot xd

(And more things if you have on count all the game but, yeah)

🎨Art fight tip✍

Make sure that your reefsheet and character boundaries are clear to everyone (think that they don't know anything about your character). Most of the atack mistakes happends because your reefsheet was confusing/you didn't make enough visual information

Somentimes you have to learn it by receiving so many atacks for understand why people fail at some character details. For example:

This was the old reef sheet of my Pokesona, Deadny. As you can see, it has SO MANY unnecessary details and unexplained things that can confuse people. That's because when I made it, I didn't have any idea of what I was doing. I was putting stuff everywhere because it looked cool but it was confusing and unnecessary lol

And that cost me many people drawing her wrong whithout knowing it.

If you are young and recently starting as character designer, I recomend you to watch for professional reefsheets, presumably from movie characters.
