I love drawing humanizations of Sonic characters—it's always fun, and I usually don't settle on just one option.

This time, I tried making Blaze and plus drawing a redraw of one of her official poses. I think it turned out pretty well.

I think people rarely notice that ordinary Saiyans don't just enjoy "fighting"—they actually enjoy enslaving and oppressing the weak. Even their hierarchy and relationships with each other lean in that direction.

Humanity, on the other hand, is precisely the kind of people who enjoy a good fight; they enjoy competing, pushing themselves beyond their limits. They enjoy pushing others to do the same.

That's why I think it was Grandpa Gohan who made Goku who he is. Goku loves fighting and pushing his limits, not because he's a Saiyan, but because he was raised by a human, a master of martial arts.

Do you know what's most ironic about Shadow being cast as Batman? It's his concern for the people closest to him. If Maria were Robin and replaced Jason, I assure you, the Joker would no longer be Batman's main villain, because even with all the twists and turns, Shadow would still kill him.

Finally finished the design of Tails from my role swap AU, he swapped roles with Shadow.

Some random thoughts about him:

° Tails isn't an artificial life form, but he is a cyborg. I based his character on Nine from Prime, but instead of Sonic not being around, Tails was friends with Sonic and lost him years ago in a mysterious "tragedy."

° Tails is still searching for his place in this world. Sonic a man, not given to giving clear instructions, inspired Tails to become who he wanted to be rather than giving him specific instructions.

° Unlike Shadow, who generates chaos energy, Tails uses technology to absorb and store chaos energy. He most often uses his accumulated power to create illusions or create additional energy structures for combat.

° In this AU, Tails has only recently discovered that he can use his tails to fly. Previously, he spun them for speed.

I wanted to draw something more dynamic with Maria.

I recently finally started playing Soul Silver and Silver quickly rose to the top of my favorite rival list, so I decided to draw him.

[chamomilemeadow]

I'm still posting ideas for my alternate universe with a role-swapping scenario. In my universe, I swapped Silver and Amy's roles, as both characters were time-traveling.

Silver will still try to change the future, but he's more interested in improving life on Earth. I decided he'll be a gardener and, in general, someone who will plant and study nature on the islands. I also drew inspiration from gardening gloves and shoes when drawing his new gloves and shoes.

Amy, however, follows her cards. She travels through time not to change it, but to preserve a positive future, since, according to the plot, she knows she's only briefly appeared in the past from history books. She often becomes very nervous when the past begins to deviate from the path she knew from history, which actually happens more often than she'd like.

I decided to share the very last sketch of Tails' design for my Role Swap Au. Of course, I based it on Nine from Sonic Prime. The design is almost final, but I'm still figuring out the details.

[chamomilemeadow]

I decided to draw designs for my Swap AU. Maria replaces Sonic, and Shadow replaces Tails.

I'm specifically changing the roles of the characters in the story, and therefore Maria gained abilities thanks to the Chaos Emeralds and was cured of her illness. She is Maria, who overcame limitations. She wants to see the world outside of the house, which she had long dreamed of while she was sick, and became a hero when her deranged grandfather Gerald began to corrupt the world she loved using genetics and technology.

Shadow was created by Gerald, but Maria took him from the laboratory and showed him the world. This is a Shadow who has never experienced the pain of losing people important to him, he can still be vulnerable. Shadow is shy about his artificial nature and has a more timid and quiet character. Maria taught him how to rollerblade, and it's his favorite way of getting around.

I always have fun imagining Archie Sonic in the video game universe. Because, no matter what anyone says, Archie Sonic and Game Sonic are literally two different characters. Also, the game's conventions are completely different from those of Archie. Imagine his reaction to the fact that he has no relatives at all in this universe, no one even knows about them, he's literally homeless now, and everyone acts like it's normal. Freedom fighters don't exist, and the idea of ​​Sonic following a leader is simply bizarre to many. He literally gains freedom in the most literal sense.

This was my first time drawing Raditz. I won't lie, he and Goku are my favorite Saiyans in terms of design.

[chamomilemeadow]

As a child, I sincerely believed that Maria was what Sonic would have been like with limitations, and Shadow was what Tails would have been like if he'd lost Sonic. Recent media has brought me back to this theory. Especially how similar Movie Maria is to Movie Sonic, and how Nine in Prime, who never met Sonic and experienced a lot of grief as a child, has a very similar personality to Shadow.

I had a really weird AU where instead of Goten gaining more benefits from being half-Saiyan, he gained Saiyan qualities that come with human limitations.

For example: the constant hunger of a Saiyan while having a normal human stomach.

I just think the conflict between Gohan and Goten would be interesting, given that Gohan only gained the benefits of being half-Saiyan, while Goten simply doesn't have those benefits, and his Saiyan side is actually detrimental to him.

Just think about how the human brain would be affected by the Super Saiyan transformation, considering humans are more emotional, and Super Saiyan increases aggression when first activated, which requires learning to control. Or because of human emotionality, even while controlling a Super Saiyan, he will become one simply from one burst of aggression.

I just imagined Goten because it's funny to think about him looking like Goku, but facing human problems and having his Saiyan side simply limiting him.

I decided to try redesigning Sonia and Manic from Sonic Underground. I was trying to stay closer to the game's style, so I decided against adding colored strands to Sonia's hair.

[chamomilemeadow]

My human version of Sonic. I didn't put too much thought into his design, but I like the result.

I love drawing Chi-Chi with her hair down, she looks really cute with it.
