[Image ID: Several digital sketches of two classic Sonic redesigns. Both have been made to look more like desert hedgehogs, with large ears, dark brown mask-like markings on their faces, and distinct quills. Both have pale blue fur, darker blue quills, and green eyes so dark they appear black.

The one on the left is labeled "Baby Blue". Handwritten notes point out that he is "thin, malnourished", with "scruffy" quills. He has fluff on his cheeks, which a note says he "hasn't grown into". Another note points out his plain brown sneakers, as he has "no sneaks yet".

The one on the right is labeled "Classy". The notes point out that he is "chubbier" and "a lil taller than Blue". Another note points out that his quills (smoother than Blue's) "arch up more", resembling the "mohawk" of Western classic Sonic. He lacks Blue's fluffy cheeks, as his is "smoothed down". His brown markings are lighter colored. He wears classic Sonic's red and white sneakers.

Black-and-white sketches to either side demonstrate expressions for both versions. /end ID]

[Image ID: A digital drawing of two Sonic the Hedgehog OCs on a plain white background. On the left is Black the Wolf. He has dark blue, almost black fur, with pale blue markings on his muzzle, underbelly, paws, and tailtip. His eyes are dark green. He has bright blue markings around his eyes and on his paws. Another marking on his forehead resembles an eye, formed from a crescent and a dot. On the right is White the Lion. He has creamy white fur, with a golden mane and dark brown markings. His eyes are yellow-green, with a matching yellow-green marking just below his throat. /end ID]

[Image ID: A digital drawing of two variants of Sonic the Hedgehog. On the left is Nega-Sonic. His colors are inverted from regular Sonic's, with rusty red-orange fur, pale yellow quills, pale blue markings, and pink eyes. His gloves, socks, and the straps on his shoes are black, while his shoes themselves are bright blue. His quills are jagged, and he looks down with a furious expression. On the right is a version of Boom Sonic. His colors are more desaturated than regular Sonic, and his quills are puffier and hang down more. He wears a red scarf around his neck, and looks to the side with an annoyed expression. /end ID]

[Image ID: several digital sketches of Dr. Eggman a redesigned Sonic the Hedgehog. In the first Eggman stands with one fist upraised, grinning evilly, while Sonic stands to the side frowning up at him. On the right is a smaller drawing of Sonic smiling and waving to an unseen crowd, while a furious Eggman looms behind him. Finally, in the bottom right is a small drawing of Eggman grinning at Sonic while Sonic glares at him, raising his hands in a "time out" gesture. /end ID]

more experiments with my Sonic redesign. what's with the multiple versions of Sonic? don't worry about it :)

Yearly Reminder that C.S Lewis encouraged his fans to write fanfiction about Susan Pevensie becoming a friend to Narnia and reuniting with her family once again.

Literally inviting his fans to write Susan’s adult, angsty character development with a happy ending.

Do your duty fans. Write that fanfiction.

Playing around more with Goat-verse Narinder, saw a couple posts suggesting that he should be a white lion for symbolism reasons and I LOVE that

So I rewatched The Lion the Witch and the Wardrobe today and I gotta say it's weird to me that people misunderstand Edmund and rag on him about getting taken in by the White Witch because it could have happened to any of the siblings.

In fact, Lucy does the exact same thing Edmund does when she first comes to Narnia. She trusts the first person she meets, goes to his house, eats his food and is put under a spell. Literally the only difference is that Tumnus regretted his actions because he wasn't evil. The White Witch had no regrets about how she manipulated Edmund, but the fact remains that she and Tumnus do the same things.

If Lucy had encountered the Witch the first time she was in Narnia, it would have been incredibly easy for the Witch to trick her, probably without even using enchanted food. Lucy was very willing to trust Tumnus until he actually told her he was kidnapping her. If the Witch had been charming with her and asked her to bring her siblings to Narnia Lucy would have tried, just like Edmund.

Susan wouldn't have been much harder, but she would definitely have required some sort of spell since she's so skeptical. But we know that, presented with the actual evidence that Narnia exists, Susan does accept it. From there it'd be fairly easy for the Witch to manipulate her by playing off how Susan's siblings don't like to listen to her logic even when she's right or has better ideas. I think Susan would also like the idea of being a queen and making her siblings listen to her.

Peter is a little harder, just because he's older and more cautious, but I think that it could be done. He has, honestly, the same vice as Edmund at the beginning. He's frustrated at the defiance his little brother is giving him and overwhelmed by the situation he's in. If the Witch could convince him that, when she made him king, his siblings would finally obey him, I think that he, like Edmund, would fall for it (especially if magic was involved in tricking him).

So, yeah, Edmund is just the kid who happens to get taken in by the Witch, but it could have been ANY of the siblings who betrayed the others. And that's the point. Edmund could be any of us- and at the same time, he is all of us. "For all have sinned and fall short of the glory of God." That is the point that Lewis is making with Edmund. It is so easy to let ourselves be deceived when we hear what we want to hear, because that road seems so much easier. But in the end it traps us and enslaves us, like Edmund was to the Witch, and there is only one who can pay the price for our betrayal.

[Image ID: a digital drawing of three Sonic the Hedgehog fan characters. The first is White, a white lion with a golden mane, light green eyes, and a red sunflower marking on his forehead. He wears a faded poncho. He stands close to the camera with a wide grin on his face, one eye closed and the other scrunched up with his smile.

Behind White stands Black, a black wolf with blue-green eyes. He has glowing blue markings around his eyes. On his forehead, two markings, a crescent moon and an oval, almost form the shape of an eye. He is wearing a a batik shirt and a sarong (or that's what it's supposed to be rip). He is turned away from the camera, looking over his shoulder at White with a confused expression.

Curled around Black's shoulders is Pretzel, a small cat-like creature with dark brown fur and bat-like wings. Fin-like blue frills spread from her head, and pink tufts of fur are on the top of her head, her wrists, and the base of the stinger-like spike at the end of her tail. The spike is currently pointed safely away from Black and White. She has the same glowing blue markings around her eyes as Black, but on her forehead is a third eye. It has a black sclera and a glowing blue pupil. Her arms are folded under her chin, and on the backs of both her hands is the same moon-eye mark as on the Black's forehead. She is looking at White with an annoyed expression. /end ID]

so, back in October (of last year, wow) I set myself a challenge: for the entire month of October, I would only draw my original characters. no fan art. naturally I decided to kick off this challenge by drawing my Sonic OCs. not even proper OCs; these three are semi-OCs, technically based on canon characters (which ones, I'll let you guess). Photo inspiration below:

[Image ID: a photo of three cats sitting in a living room. On the left side, one seems to be smiling at the camera, lips pulled back and eyes scrunched into slits. On the right, slightly closer to the camera, another cat looks befuddled. Behind them both, in the center of the photo, a black cat simply stares at the camera.]

no idea where the original is from, but it's a good pic.
