His Lucky Star
Awhile ago I asked for sonamy headcanons (and I’m always hungry for more!) and I received the most beautiful headcanon from @hedgethemaze and I just had to illustrate it!
Thank you @hedgethemaze for the opportunity to draw your short story 😊
You can read Hedge’s original headcanon below the cut:
Look in a dictionary for the definition of ‘dream come true’, I swear, your comic would be the foremost example. You putting images and color to my words is the highest compliment I could've possibly received. I'm blown away!
The effort and care you put into these mean so much and it’s appreciated beyond imagining, friend.
The one thing you added to the dialogues, the story of the tiara, swelled my heart with warmth and joy because it reflected what may be common knowledge by now, amongst us Sonamy fans…and that’s your understanding of these characters’ core values (in this case, Amy). While, I didn’t give details on any particular tale she’d come up with, you saw it clearly – of course it would be a story about love and determination. That’s Amy’s character to a tee. I love that you added that, and I thank you🤗
My heart goes out to Sonic in every panel he looks distressed and glum - adding that glimpse to their exchange in Kronos Island, was a satisfying punch in the gut, a bittersweet touch. Thanks for that, too ;)
That one panel of them, both smiling at the sky, after Amy returns his hand hold, their faces express so much right there, without saying a thing – that’s something I never get tired of seeing, Sonic is comfortable in accompanied silence and Amy wastes no time meeting him there with nothing but affection. She’s Sonic’s granted wish after all.
Lovely shooting star, btw. Feels like it could leap out of the page!🤩
Look, I know you’re basically an expert at drawing Amy in the most gorgeous, endearing, radiant way possible but, to be honest? She looks ‘heart-stoppingly beautiful’ in these images! What makes me say this is her body language more than anything else🥰
Just look at the way she curls against him, with the entire length of her arm draped across his chest and grabbing at his shoulder. She hides none of her adoration at being by his side!😭💖
By the look on Sonic’s face (that expression is priceless, btw), I’d say she’s holding on to him like her life depended on it, and her expression shows nothing but delight at the fact that there’s literally no space left between them – a character trait I couldn’t possibly love more about Amy😊 And Sonic just lets her be! Although, who are we kidding? He likes to feel it as much as we like to see it 😆 Character portrayal at its finest, for both of them.
Quote: “Sonic looks away, the hand that's not being held by Amy scratches a very reddish cheek…”
The way you depicted this line has me kicking my feet, grinning like an idiot. Feels like magic to see something I thought up in my head put into an image so perfectly – Oh, the awkwardness! Scratching the cheek/neck when nervous is so personal to me, thank you so much for nailing that, I love it🙌
Btw, I can’t take my eyes away from Amy’s face on that last page – happiness and being in love are the best look on her and you’re impossibly good at drawing that.
Emotions are supposed to be abstract concepts, how are you THIS GOOD at giving them form?!🤯 Please, never stop doing that🙏
Speaking of the last page, it takes my breath away every time I look at it. It warms my heart to see Sonic take that deep breath (you can see how at peace he feels having Amy so close to him). The woeful memory of Starfall tossed away and forgotten as he snuggles closer to his lucky star.
Add to the countless details I love about this story...the way you’ve drawn it, I mean...how the last panel at the end of the comic mirrors the beginning of it, with a panoramic view of them laying on the grass. A beautiful touch!😌👌
And I wouldn’t be able to see any of that, other than in my mind's eye, if it weren’t for your wonderful art 😁 Thank you SO much, @e-vay.
Consider this long-winded reply a love letter to your comic (believe it or not, I struggle taking credit for any of this, as if I’m yet to wake up from a dream or something lol), like lots of my writing, I may have gone a tad overboard putting my thoughts and emotion into words...nevertheless, all of it is no doubt sincere.
