Master post of half of the things I did ✨

Putting up old & new stuff after renewing everything, I wonder if the change in art style is a good thing 🤔

If u can't tell, I'm still a firm believer of Rivals 2's story being good enough to guarantee a fan to make shiny weeb badges for her own ita bag 🥴

So you think espio would draw in an anime art style if he'd like drawing ??❤️

Actually sure, why not?

Maybe bc I live in East Asia, I tend to see characters with the mindset we usually have here. There is this phrase 琴棋書畫 , literal meaning is "instrument, chess, calligraphy, illustration". It is the four artistic pursuits cherished by ancient literati and scholars, and is used to describe great cultural literacy of a person.

Music, intelligence, literature, aesthetic.

With Espio being a character that is so heavily influenced by traditions and practices, even speaks in ancient wordings sometimes in JP dub (something that cannot be translated bc old English does not have the same vibe/impression), I think he'd put time into practicing all of the above things.

Espio does have the music aspect, being well practiced in shamisen, a traditional instrument with East Asia background. You can see it as the equivalent of traditional guitar but Japan. (Pls don't argue about the origins of the instrument, every country can copy/reference each other to make their own versions of instruments)

Well, they all might sing badly in Heroes, but a person's voice isn't the point at all, it is the patience to study and understand how to play an instrument that matters.

Intelligence is pretty self-explanatory, he works as a detective so even if you don't think he's the smartest of the bunch, he's still one of the smart ones. Being the analyst/voice of reason in Chaotix, he ticks this category by default.

Literature, well it might be harder to see in English, but in JP he does quote a lot of proverbs that helps him express complex concepts with minimal words. Well, whether others understand or not is not important, but he should be well versed in literature with how he can easily apply difficult figure of speeches, aka well educated on this aspect.

Another thing is that Espio does also write in a traditional way. Imagine carrying a brush and dipping ink to write notes every day. That's him lol. Western equivalent would be him writing with a fountain pen that requires you to dip ink every 10 seconds. For modern day standards that is not convenient at all, but if he can manage then we won't judge UwU

(Maybe he's using modern brush with ink installed, idk, but the practice is still for cultivating one's emotional and aesthetic development)

So at this point, Espio has already checked 3 out of 4 things, with calligraphy scrapping the aesthetic aspect. So, if we want to be specific on the illustration skill from the aesthetic aspect, I think it'd be wonderful if Espio also learns how to draw. Anime style? Not exactly old, but there are still old anime with their distinct style before all of us were born. Something 70s onwards. Maybe Espio would be willing to try that as well. I mean, he's already learnt so much, why not one more skill?

To me, Espio is very culturally infused. And even tho he's traditional as hell, he still would not be opposed to learn new technology, despite still being bad at them. (DVD player set in Sonic X, Eggman's computer in ShTH) Being open to new things while cherishing nostalgic habits, I think him drawing in anime style is a nice touch on this aspect of Espio. <3

So yeah, let him doodle in his notebook, draw some pretty art <3

Espio noticed how Silver was stunned by how beautiful everything looked with with the rays. So he caught Silver by surprise, leaning in for a quick but soft peck on the lips.

A Headcannon:

Sonic post-Unleashed still struggles with self control when he hears a squeaky toy.

Also, the Werehog is a master of looking cute in order to get food from vendors

For an art blog like me this is such a specific ask of a headcanon 😂

Tbh I haven't seen much of Werehog!Sonic's headcanons online, so this was a surprise to see! I wonder why he'd struggle with a squeaky toy, seeing how he could go through a ghost house trip with no problem, even having fun scaring Chip himself. 🤔 And by post-Unleashed Sonic, you mean a Sonic that cannot turn into a Werehog at night, right? Or if your HC is that Sonic still turns into a werehog with a trigger, do you mean that a squeaking toy would be the trigger?? 😭

The image of Sonic turning into a werehog when some random toddler baby walks by with squeaky shoes, and the next second Sonic unleashed into a werehog screaming & ripping off his gloves, man, ppl around are gonna be so horrified 😨

The HC is cute, but sorry I don't really know the context behind it... I'm not someone that gets the charm/trauma in squeaky toys, so I could really need some explanation on why he struggles with self control 😅

Werehog!Sonic's cute part to me is being scary looking, yet his kind-hearted personality shines through, allowing ppl to be not afraid around him. Getting food from vendors by showing signs of his appriciation and wonders through his supposedly scary look, makes ppl happy that such a great hero is among them, and willingly offer him stuff here & there... That is such a heart warming thing to happen in the world of Sonic ❤️

icycm24

idc if it’s a headcanon, Espio is definitely an anime trash XD

originally i was gonna do a prompt about how would one feel when they see another person on their bed, but that didn’t escalate as shippy as i thought, oh well :’D

#Rb #2016 #My artstyle definitely changed a lot #Can't believe this is 8 years ago #My headcanons changed as well
