@sonic-oc-showdown

well, i said that i'd make a post breaking down stings design if he made it to round 2 and so! this is it! this is that post

without further ado, let's talk about how i designed my boy!

warnings for (drawn) close-up images of scorpions:

let's start off with his head!

the vast majority of sting's head comes from scorpion anatomy! his eyebrows are based off of a pair of a scorpion's walking legs. scorpions have 4 pairs of walking legs which are attached to the head/thorax. i can't represent all 4 pairs but i could at least represent 1, hence why his eyebrows are Huge and stick off of his head

the pair of darker red tubes that go from behind his eyebrows to the back of his head, those are meant to be pedipalps! pedipalps are actually part of a scorpion's mouth, but for sonic character design purposes i used it to resemble hair. as for the actual pincers, thats what the two things on the back of his head are. if you were to translate it to hair, it'd be like a tight, messy bun

the other part of a scorpion's mouth are the chelicerae! his mouth originally took more inspiration from how a scorpion's mouth is supposed to look, but due to how difficult it was to consistently draw + emote in general, this was changed to be more beak-like (using mimic for reference). his "tusks" are still reminiscent of the tip of the chelicerae, only they turn up to help his mouth look more distinct!

as for the 2 pairs of dot markings on his head, those are meant to represent eyes! scorpions have at least 6 eyes, 12 at most. the 2 pairs of markings are meant to give the impression that sting has 6 eyes!

next up is his clothes! since sting specializes in close-combat fighting, he doesn't really wear loose clothes as he doesn't want to risk tripping over himself or getting caught on anything. that's why he wears a simple torn tank top and some pants

his belt is fashioned after the segments on a scorpion's abdomen! thats why there's all those lines on it

his shoes, the golden edge of his shoes with the two little protrusions, those are meant to resemble a scorpion's paws!

as for sting's tail, the reason why it's so thick is because he is a highly venomous scorpion! it's also why the pincers on his head are so small: scorpions with thick tails and small pincers are Very Venomous while scorpions with thin tails and big pincers are mostly harmless! i went for a more spherical shape with his tail because i thought it looked cool. he originally didn't have a set number of segments but ultimately i landed on 6, which is the same amount of an actual scorpion (5 metasomal segments + the 1 pincer)

lastly, his palette! sting's palette is actually inspired by the deathstalker scorpions from kipo and the age of wonderbeasts! actual deathstalkers are more orange/brown, but the mutated ones in kipo are various shades of red. you can really see the inspiration in this image here

his tail has an alternating color palette for readability! it'd be harder to make out more action-y poses if it was all the same color, or if it was half lighter half darker, so the alternating colors help make it more distinct

this art is from august! it helps show the color breakdown

(flat + shade)

AND THATS IT! that is all the thought and inspiration i put into my boy. if you took the time to actually read through all of this thank you so much!!! it genuinely means a lot to me 🌟

if you really like sting, please consider voting for him in the oc showdown! you can vote here

[totaleclipse573]

I just wanted to draw these two sillies

(The logos were the perfect finishing touch btw)

Eventide belongs to @zepandovski and Terios is mine! Honestly had so much fun trying to draw Eventide in my own style, its a very creative design! Honestly either could win and I'd be happy about it

(Gonna tag @sonic-oc-showdown here!)

[addysfandomdump]

I had a better caption in mind for this but I. forgor. Anyways Faye turning Curie (@riftclaw) into a horror game protagonist by force. He is about to get mugged by so many leathery dolls.

Bonus (there is blood but it is toony and unserious):

GUESS WHOOOS INNNN

CLUTTTCHH THATS WHO WOOO YEAHHH WOOOOOO

[nolongeronlyhereforthewhispangle]

Honestly I’m just happy that I at least have close to 40 percent of the votes in the sonic OC showdown.

We might make a comeback idk we’ll see.

[totaleclipse573]

@sonic-oc-showdown Might as well do this for Terios! Looks fun!

His concept started out as a twin to Shadow, so of course when I found out his beta name was Terios I knew it was perfect XD Plus, it has a double meaning! One is "reflection of" and the other is "making dreams come true." Both suit him well, I think!

He's immortal and ageless, but mentally I see him as probably 16

He's got quite the crush on Rouge, but he's also a bisexual disaster-hog, so I can also see him having a small crush on Mighty. He has a type lmao

Mac n cheese/cookies!

He doesn't really have a job, but if you can count him being the guardian to the Shards of Chaos...

He loves to draw! (He may not be very good at it but its still a hobby!)

He's a tech nerd XD

I've technically already said what he loves to do (I'll add hanging around wisp there too,) but he doesn't like going into crowds. They overwhelm him and overload his powers because of it

His best memories are the ones he has with his brothers and friends. They helped him a ton with his past and were there to better him

Anything Doleon did to him. The lying, the manipulation, the experimentation, all of it.

No, its not his first design. He did look a little less on the Black Arms side originally, but I thought it would be cool if he had more of those features!

The idea of Shadow having a sibling, but not as I had often seen it been done (where they are typically just there to be evil.) Hence why I made Terios the shy little bab he is

Not sure what this fully means, so I'll assume and say sci-fi. Or if its the other thing I'm thinking of then lawful good

Male, He/Him, Bisexual

To simplify, 2, Shadow is his twin and Eclipse is their half brother. But if you count the Biolizard and all the Black Arms...lets just not!

No :)

Everything, I can't just choose one thing!

He's the one I use most!

NOT UNLESS HE CAN BE REVIVED

Heights, crowds, and being used for evil

Doleon, I suppose? But thats moreso for all three brothers so other than that, he doesn't have one (yet...who knows.) He doesn't like the Babylon Rogues though

No idea honestly...I revived him this year but he's originally from a while back!

Somewhere between 10-11, clearly my peak Sonic phase 💪

[whimsical-sonic]

emulated the riders style as best as i could for this teehee

sting has an interest in extreme gear racing! he'd love to participate one day, but he wouldn't be very good at it. that wouldn't deter him from trying, however! he would classify as a power-type character

in sonic riders, his level 1 attack would be a gruff noise, a little similar to wave actually! his level 2 attack would be a run and he'd use a powerful kick. his level 3 attack would involve use of his stinger!

in sonic riders zero gravity, being a power class he would use a bike! alternatively, he'd use wheel-type vehicles

vote for sting in socs2 round 3 here!

if you're interested in learning more about him, feel free to check out his socs2 tag here!

@sonic-oc-showdown The Doom Bros bc I just love them a lot (Shadow got dragged in but its fine)

(Shadow and Eclipse are going to beat each other up after this probably. Terios is the chill pill)
