take a random sonic character of ur choice and do like ... a opposite version of them in every way you can think of... If that makes sense
Tumblr media
Here's a couple opposite Sonic doodles. One is based on Shadow concept art, and the other is just me flipping Sonic all around.
This character (yellow) is one I would name Kioshi, which means "silent", an opposite of Sonic which refers to sound. He's meant to be a porcupine, but I fucked myself by making his spines so short. Regardless, I imagine Kioshi as a character whose values are basically the opposite of Sonic's in every way- someone who doesn't believe that the world as it is can be redeemed and thinks the only way forward is through technology, who believes in sacrifice for the greater good, and thinks that the world cannot function without a system keeping people in their place (e.g. police, governments, militaries). I imagine Kioshi would have either absorbed or destroyed his universe's equivalent of the chaos emeralds instead of protecting them because he only trusts himself with their power, which is why he is permanently gold and red- presumably, like Sonic, Kioshi was originally blue and green before he did this, but he thought this was another sacrifice for the greater good, something he could only trust himself with. He's still kind to his friends and ultimately he comes from a good place, but ultimately his actions enforce dictatorship, authoritarianism and control, which are all things Sonic stands firmly against. I imagine he still has friends, but instead of encouraging them to embrace what makes them different and fight for freedom, he teaches them what he thinks is right: keep the world turning and never look back (at what we could've fixed; never look back at the things we could've had; never look back at what might still be salvageable; never look back at the things still there calling to us that we can still fix them; never look back at the opportunity to try again; there is nothing there for us; never look back at hope or at anything that might prove that we were wrong).
The other one was just me playing with opposites of Sonic's design (and also giving him funny goggles) before I realized that it was just Shadow and gave up lmao
