If I had a nickel for every time the "Sonic" franchise introduced a new Dragon character who was notable for being clumsy but nonetheless acted as a Guardian for her species, I'd have two nickels, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it happened twice, right?
(Originally had this idea back in March for my Dragon Theme Month of weekly pics but realized it was a bit too Big an idea for a weekly pic, so I decided to give it the Full Treatment!)
Happy Pride, y'all; I don't have anything new t'share, alas, but I did at least want to put my Pride pics from last year together in one place as at least a little show of Support.
PIC-A-WEEK, May-sters of the Universe
Part Four: The Sorceresses of Grayskull
"She will only remember that her mother was a woman who loved her very much...."
Getting near to the end of MotU May, and I decided our penultimate pic should be a two-for-one of the franchise's leading ladies, especially given that the tale of Teela and her mother is perhaps the most iconic of the franchise.
PIC-A-WEEK, May-sters of the Universe
Part Three: A Bit Of An Artist
"Just so you know: I'm a hugger."
Some people might say it's cheating to use a "She-Ra" character in a "Masters of the Universe" theme month. I say screw that, I want Scorpia.
PIC-A-WEEK, May-sters of the Universe
Part Two: Sorceress of Night
"I want your power, Skeletor, and now...I shall have it!"
Continuing our "Masters of the Universe" month with a peek into the honestly underrated Netflix Reboot series from 2021, which offered up some really cool new takes on the series' most iconic characters. Evil-Lyn especially got probably my favorite make-over, so it seemed like the perfect way to spotlight her character.
More Sally Acorn silliness, this time inspired by @metalpandora's postings on her Tomodachi Life playthrough over on bluesky.
PIC-A-WEEK, May-sters of the Universe
Part One: All The Orkos
As Dark turns to Light, Truth will win the fight!
As Hope beats Despair, evil disappears
evil disappears from here!
With the movie coming out next month, May seemed like the perfect time to celebrate my long-time affection for the "Masters of the Universe" series. Kicking things off is something like the franchise's Adorable Mascot, in 1983, 2003, and 2021 variations!
Inspired by A Very Silly Conversation I had recently with @sally-mun, whose friend apparently thought Sally's classic vest looked like The Wal-Mart Uniform. And thus, here we are. XD
PIC-A-WEEK, AprEvil
Part Four (Final): A Two-Dimensional Creature
"This'll be the ultimate prank! I'll draw me, and when Squidward answers the door... it won't be me!"
One last Evil Doppelganger to round out our April Fools Theme Month, and in keeping with the spirit of the holiday, it's The Weirdest One Of Them All.
PIC-A-WEEK, AprEvil.
Part Three: The Screeching Fingernail on the Chalkboard of Justice
"They want grim and gritty, huh? Happy to play the part."
I considered several Superhero Dopplegangers for this theme. Bizarro, Venom, The Reverse Flash...but really, how could I not go with maybe the most Evil of them all?
PIC-A-WEEK, AprEvil.
Part Two: He's-a Gonna Win
"Super duper, duper super, WARIO!"
More Evil Dopplegangers for April, this time with one of the most iconic of them all. What do we think the odds are this guy shows up in the next "Mario" movie? And what do we think the odds are then that he winds up being played by Danny Devito?
PIC-A-WEEK, AprEvil.
Part One: A Robotological Breakthrough
"Psuedo Sonic will scour all of Mobius, robbing, pillaging, plundering, doing evil like it's never been done before. And all the while, ruining Sonic's reputation...!"
Finally caught up enough on my Weekly Pics that I can start posting them one at a time again! Obviously still a bit late for April Fool's, but in keeping with that puckish spirit, our theme this time is all about Evil Dopplegangers! And when it comes to the "Sonic the Hedgehog" series, we're weirdly spoiled for choice in that category, but I decided to go with one of the very first, Pseudo Sonic! Fun bit of trivia: when I was a kid, due to the shared emphasis on bolted plates in their designs, I always thought Pseudo Sonic was the same character as the Mecha Sonic from "Sonic the Hedgehog 2".
PIC-A-WEEK, POKOPIA-PALOOZA
Part One: Teaching Tangela, Part Two: Meeting Munchlax Part Three: Sous-Chef Skwovet, Part Four: Double Ditto
More Pic-A-Week Catch-Up, and this time it's for a Theme I decided on pretty late in the game, namely because I really didn't see how fascinating "Pokopia" would be coming. I still haven't played the game myself, but I'm so utterly charmed by its unique character takes on classic Pokemon that I decided to take a stab at drawing them!
PIC-A-WEEK, Valentine's Shipping Challenge
Part One: Suselle (4B) Part Two: Drakepad (3B) Part Three: Catradora (4C) Part Four: SonSal (2A)
no you're the one two months late in doing your Valentine's Day Weekly Sketchbook Pics.
Yeah, what can I say, Real Life has definitely been A Lot over the last couple months, and my Drawing Drive has been a bit shot as a result. But I'm slowly but surely getting back into the swing of things, so hopefully this set will only be the beginning.
Shout-out to @starcre8tor: I put their Shipping Challenge numbers and some of my favorite Ships into a randomizer (with a free spot for SonSal, natch x3) and these were the results!
Dialogue under the cut:
PIC-A-WEEK, Kaijanuary
Part Four (Final): Queen of the Monsters
Mosura ya Mosura
dengan kesaktian indukmu
restuilah doa hamba-hambamu yang
rendah, bangunlah dan tunjukkanlah
kesaktianmu
Finally wrapping up Kaijanuary, and naturally I decided to bring it to a close with one of the most iconic Kaiju of them all. Since my planned composition wouldn't include Mothra's iconic wings, I decided to put my own spin on the outfits of her twin fairies, the Shobijin, to incorporate the wings' patterns into them, something I'm actually a bit surprised to realize has not, to my knowledge, ever been done in any official Godzilla and/or Mothra media.
PIC-A-WEEK, Kaijanuary
Part Three: PUNCH, PUNCH, PUNCH!
Finally picking Kaijanuary back up after Real Life threw a couple big ol' curveballs at me that kept me from keeping up with it, and who better to take up that Kaiju Spirit than the indomitable Jet Jaguar? Went with the "Singular Point" version specifically in no small part because I've spent the last several months with him as one of my favorite units in "Super Robot Wars Y".
“BOUND FOR FREEDOM, YEAR SEVEN, DAY EIGHT (FINAL): “Coffeeshop”
"A Safe Place"
Stepping inside was like being wrapped in a warm embrace.
It wasn’t simply that outside was cold and grey and rainy, either. Sally had been to this old diner so often over the years she suspected she could safely walk through it blindfolded. Which she imagined was, in fact, the very reason it had been chosen to host this little rendezvous.
“Yo, Sal!”
Sure enough, the moment she entered, there was Sonic, sitting at that same old corner table, wearing that same old bright-neon jacket he was always so fond of, waving her over. There was already a cup of coffee waiting for her too. “Hey Sonic,” she greeted as she approached. “Sorry I’m a little late, just had to…take care of some things around the house.”
Sonic’s smile didn’t fade, but Sally noticed it got just a bit tighter. “Something your dad needed?” he asked gently.
She sidled into the booth, not quite able to meet his expectant gaze even as she took the coffee in hand. The silence that followed hung between the two for several moments before Sonic continued, with a hesitance Sally was not used to hearing from him, “Feels like your dad’s been…puttin’ you through a lot lately.”
That drew the squirrel’s eyes to him. “Sonic…” she said tersely.
“I know, I know,” he responded quickly, “it’s not ‘my business’, but-“ he cut himself off with a puffing breath. “Sal…I love you. You know I love you. And watching someone I love be treated this way…it’s just…” Again he cut himself off, shaking his head with a low groan. “I’m sorry…puttin’ this stuff into words is tough.”
“…it’s OK,” she answered. “It…really does mean a lot to me that you care, it’s just….”
“I know.” He slid his hand across the table towards her. “I’ve been thinkin’ about this a lot lately,” he said, and again Sally was struck by how unusually soft his voice sounded just then, “trying t’figure out what t’do. Knowing I couldn’t just…keep doing nothing.”
It took a moment, but Sally’s hand found her way to Sonic’s. “…what…exactly have you been thinking…?” she asked.
“Maybe you could stay with me ‘n’ Unc? At least for a while?”
Their fingers wrapped around each other quickly and strongly. “You don’t know what you’re asking….” Sally said.
“Yes I do,” Sonic answered, and this time there was no hesitance. “Which is why you don’t have t’answer right now. Just…” he slid a little closer to her, “think about it.” She slid a little closer to him. “Sit here with me for a bit ‘n’ just…think about it.”
Again there was silence. They simply sat there, holding hands. And then, at last, Sally whispered, “…OK.”
“OK,” Sonic repeated, and his smile loosened up again.
Sally couldn’t help but smile back. She let her head rest on the hedgehog’s shoulder, prompting him to open his jacket and wrap it over her. They leaned into each other, bodies growing just a little more relaxed. Sonic’s eyes closed first; Sally’s soon followed. And as she let herself slip in to their comforting embrace, she couldn’t help but notice the scent of the coffee drifting in from the table. One last reminder of what Sonic’s offer really meant.
“Walnuts,” she thought. “My favorite.”
