Still trying to figure out how I want to draw things ๐ญ๐
(click for better quality)
In this All Father drawing I tried to get out purely what I deemed to be 'important" like I do with my traditional drawings with a special guest appearance of foreshortening (haven't done that in a while I think๐ ) (though I did make a few minor alterations to their design) I'm itching to hear whay you guys think!๐๐๐
Yap below cut:
Also in other news I am going on a temporary hiatus as it seems I've developed a minor inferiority complex ๐ thankfully, as you may or may not know, this is something that goes away with just a little time! In that time I'll be "relearning" how to draw and hopefully I'll be better than when I left!โจ๏ธโจ๏ธ.. Rest assured! I'm still going to be around! I just won't be posting on my own blog for a little while, If I have any projects that owe you or just something to show any of you in general, I'll be sending it through your ask boxes like how I used to do! (for those of you who are aware of that) So make sure you have image asks turned on!
And with that being said- Thank you, guys for everything! and;
I didn't have a sona for this so this guy'll be a place holder ๐ญ๐
Click for better quality (Zoom in on the hole in v.4's """face""")
I finally was able to find time to get these stills out, I rushed them out in less than 10 mins ๐ญ๐ญ(my schedule is horrible so I'm usually only able to draw either very early in the morning or some time in the evening) they're moreso meant to capture the ideas of the two scenarios I've narrowed down for Moon/Nihilus, I'd literally end myself if these were somehow final designs ๐ฅ๐ฅ
Both of these come from very similar events from the first animation I had made but present two polar opposite characterizations of the same entity
v.3 centers around the initial falsehood presented in the description of the first design I made for Nihilus (in that the "Emperor" [which is the name of the strange black mass from the prior mentioned animation] destroys Moon by accident and mostly unsuccessfully attempts to put them back together). In it's ignorance and confusion it kinda just shoved organs and limbs back into where it believed they should go, and once it realized that Moon was just sort of a strange mishapen mass of flesh barely clinging onto life, it took it upon its self to "fill in the gaps" with its own form. Now it puppeteers the "corpse" of moon around
v.4 centers around the "truth" presented in the (you know) and assumes that the "Emperor" is wholly malevolent and simply viewed Moon (or more so Pomni, but that's a whole exposition dump for another time) as simply a means to an end. In v.4's scenario the fusion of Pomni and Kinger results in a kind of "reality split" that results in Moon ending up in the white void shown in the first anim while Sun remains in the circus. In the ensuing encounter Pomni is absorbed by the entity and Kinger is wiped from existance (Rip goat ๐). It then uses Pomni as a host to bypass the "toll gate" created by โ โ โ โ โ โ โ (This entity merges with Sun at somepoint) to presumably attempt to bring about the end of the world the cast memebers and the macroverse reside in
You guys' input is DESPERATELY needed!๐๐๐I still haven't yet given Sun nor Moon a full redesign because I have too many ideas bouncing around in my pea-brain๐ญ๐ญ

I took a little break from my currently ongoing project(s) because I felt that the quality of my work was starting to slip again. To test whether or not that was the case, I decided to roughly sketch Sonic just as a little warm up!:
For @vanossgaming3567 , @wonkers-hog , @orangeglueeeee , @thatolliefann
Oml, I forgot to post a progress report yesterday ๐ญ๐ญ๐๐ญ๐๐PLEASE FORGIVE ME
This section includes the upper and lower torso*excluding right leg because it's on a lower layer* head*excluding some accent pieces, but including VERY light rendering because I'm still figuring out how to render metal*
I swapped around the colors of the arms to see how it looked, and was wondering about how you guys felt about the proportions used, at somepoint I'll think I'll do a flat color release of the full thing so I can bide some time to learn how to render it
Oh yeah, they won't quite have the typical mobian build, I wanted to make them slightly taller so they'll contrast more with metal sonic when I eventually do more with this character)))
For @vanossgaming3567 , @wonkers-hog , @orangeglueeeee , @thatolliefann (Again)
I'm almost done with the project but I'm unsure of the color palette I used for the upperbody, so I cutoff the drawing into the flat, uncleaned color layers of that section (as to not spoil the appearance of the full project:
(This section only includes the upper torso *excluding the colors used for the speaker "buttons"*, a significant portion of the arms and the head *without its accent pieces i.e face "fur" and other parts*)
Oh yeah and I also made several modifications to the base design since the last concept, this version is going to be based off of more modern metal designs as opposed to the classic version used prior.
For @vanossgaming3567 , @wonkers-hog , @orangeglueeeee , @thatolliefann
(I know Orange and olliefann aren't technically "Sonic guys", but I'd figure they'd be able to give their two cents due to exposure, like with radiation poisoning or smth ๐ฅ) I once again don't have a complete post ready for today, so this'll be another holdover!!!1111(yay๐)
This is a Mock WiP of Van's Three roboticized "gijinka" (I really have to think of a better name for this version of the character๐ญ) I'm much farther along in the drawing process than what is shown here, as this is just one of the lower sketch layers (I'm almost at coloring) and I just wanted to know what you guys think so far! Should I change up anything about like the posing or perspective? Or change what she's doing in this shot in general?
For additonal context as to what's actually going on: Since the way I've implimented the arm cannon as shown in the previous concept sketches, she'd have to have the ability to transform at least some parts of her body! In this shot I've given her the ability to fly by transforming her arms into "rockets" and she's using them to take off from an egg carrier (drawn on a lower layer than even this)
I want you guys to absolutely tear into this if you're able to! I NEED the input!๐๐๐
(The little thing in the corner won't be visible in the final, it's just there for reference)
(for those not mentioned above who have no idea what this is about, view either Vanoss' or Wonker's blogs for context)
For @thatolliefann , @orangeglueeeee , @wonkers-hog & @vanossgaming3567
I found out relatively recently that, that Ollie guy is technically an ".Exe"... I then thought about how some Exes' bodies/vessels age overtime. (Lookin' at you Mr.'X' ๐๐) So I turned him into a senior citizen ๐ญ๐
(Click for higher quality)
(I don't have any lore for this... Yet)
But real talk, I was trying out a new style of sketching because I had decided that my current way of working was not up to snuff (especially when compared to my unposted traditional work) and I wanted to know what you guys thought (Yes, this includes you ๐ซต person not mentioned above whom just happened upon this)
This also serves as a holdover because I'm currently working on a larger project, so I won't be able to make a real post today๐)
(Wow twice in one dayโฝ I think that's a new record ๐)
Now presenting... (Pause for dramatic effect):
Roboticized Three!!! (2nd concept)
(I actually finished this way earlier but forgot to post it ๐ญ)
Now I know Vanoss had said to add her hair tufts, but I couldn't for the life of me figure out how to convert the rounded hairstyle in to metallic ornaments (any suggestions would be a massive help ๐)
I loved drawing the new arm cannon and clothes armor! But of course, none of these are finalized and I would like to get it just right for you guys, as the base design will determine how I go about making the eventual "Neo" and/or "Overlord" forms.
I would've gotten this out yesterday, but I got ahead of myself while making this๐ญ
I had already done a full version of this and almost started work on a "Neo" form, but then I realized I should probably get more input from the character's creator(s?) on what features variant should have.
So because of that I took the design and stripped it down to it's most basic components, so that way you guys could give your input on what I should or shouldn't add!
(The reason why I started this is because all I know is that this guy dies at somepoint and is brought back, I don't actually watch the show that they originate from ๐ฅ๐ฅ)
Would love to know what you all think!๐๐
((((oh yeah go check out the two mentioned people's blogs for context, or smth))))
Local monochrome artist tries to color literally anything, dies horribly
Tumblr really put this one through a meat grinder๐ญ
But anyways I redesigned Emperor Gabbow again, combining elements from both their scrapped and "current" designs to get this. I could've gotten this out way earlier but I'm still learning how to use colors in general. So, I did this whole round-about method of filling in the general areas with whatever shades I wanted to use and then erasing where I colored outside the lines and it was this whole ordeal. There's probably a better way to do this but idk what that is๐
(Also he's so smooth because a majority of the papier mache that made up this version of Gabba has been turned into loose skin, do with that what you will.)
Hope you like it!๐๐
Oh and to anyone else viewing this, any critiques or tips are welcome (VERY MUCH NEEDED๐ญ) and appreciated! (Also you can check either Pending's or my blog for context on who this guy is!)
@vanossgaming3567 @wonkers-hog : I was going to make this a double feature upload with a concept I was going to do with [Insert suprise character here] but I'll have to postpone it until tomorrow.. Sincerest apologies ๐ญ๐(((( Also Vastarios iz gettin' a redesign or smth)))))
@featherglum @justwebster P2 is still in the works, but I may (or may not) be changing the animation software I'll be using for the project which might cause a SLIGHT delay ๐
I just got a new drawing software; so I won't have anything worth while to post today while I figure out how it works ๐ญ so here's a holdover
I originally made this for @alicedazeddreams sometime in April, as an ink demon concept for their tadc/batim oc, Theo. But I haven't heard from them in a while so I'll just post it here
Just mentioning people whom may be interested in this:
I promise I'll have at least SOMETHING by tomorrow ๐๐
Edit:
I almost forgot to mention, @featherglum & @justwebster This was also meant to be apart of a whole riddle/game thing I had planned before I revealed the second set of redesigns for Pawnee/Pawnderin. It was gonna be this whole thing with the pose and the clock, with the clock representing the time (in hours) and the pose determining whether it was going to be during the day or night and allat. I'm still peeved I never got to do that๐
[ In the second image I was attempting to decide if I should keep Gabba's "hair" tufts, before ultimately deciding against it, as it clutters the head area, third image is just mandatory aura farming ]
I'd wanted to draw @pendingintheairfryer 's Oc, Gabba, for a while (Amazing Oc btw๐๐), and when I had finally gotten to doing so, my brain kept making connections to the general design motifs of Sonic characters (most prominetly the connected eyebrow ridge)... And then the ".Exe" Brainrot kicked in ๐ญ.
So, Introducing: (Self-Proclaimed) Emperor Gabbow!
I had thought of quite a few different names for this version of Gabba ( Lord G, Gabbariel, GX, etc), but decided on Gabbow, as it circles back around to the reason for this character's existance which would be their best friend Pezzo's (who belongs to @fragmentedbaffoon) hypothetical abstraction/death. In this version of events, Gabba is unable to recover from the loss of Pezzo, leading them to the very brink of abstraction. They are then discovered by โ โ โ โ โ โ (yet to be named entity) that offers to "Take away their pain" in exchange for passage into the reality currently occupied by the cast, "failing" to mention that it would be through the use of Gabba's body as a vessel for it. Gabba agrees to these terms, seeing no other options.
โ โ โ โ โ โ then not only wipes thoroughly Gabba's mind of all traces of their friend (or at least they believe they have) but through unknown means, replace a significant portion of Gabba's body with fully organic components. However due to either it's not understanding of; or ignorance to human anatomy(or the bodily workings of earthly organisms in general), it hapazardly removes and grows flesh to areas most damaged by his near abstraction, leaving his avatar a disproportionate mess compared to what it was prior. Then "hijinx" ensue
(bad things do happen to everyone involved, but neither Gabba, โ โ โ โ โ โ , nor Emperor Gabbow are actually malevolent in nature)
I plan to hopefully give this character more lore and (one additional form W.I.P) in the future! (And perhaps a character for the inverse scenario for if Gabba abstracted instead of Pezzo)
Old design and scrapped story associated with it below cut:
[ I did like how this design looked, but I then felt it stuck a little too closely to its progenitor ]
Gangle's POV:
It's been about... Two o-or three- Yes, three weeks since Caine had sent Pezzo to the cellar.. Or at least what was left of him, anyway. Gabba hadn't been taking it very well. A-and I can imagine why, from what I was told, Gabba was right with Pezzo during the whole ordeal. If something like that ever happened to Ragatha, Pomni.. or especially Zooble I think I'd keel over and die right there! I know we technically can't actually "die" in the circus but... L-look that's not important right now, I'm getting ahead of myself!
*ahem*
as I was saying, Gabba had become... Detached, to say the least.. T-they weren't ever the talkative type, but now they won't even bother to look at me or any of the rest of us when we try to talk to them, they always look so exhausted, and sometimes late at night I see them sitting over the spot Caine had opened that pitch-black abyss, just... Staring. A-at somepoint they locked themselves in their room, and we hadn't seen or heard from them for quite a while since then. Of course, Ragatha still checked up on them every once in a while, leaving them plates of food by their door. By the end of the day the plates were always gone, b-but since we'd never actually seen them open the door, we don't actually know if they took them, or if the circus simply despawned them after certain amount of time. Ragatha, ever optimistic chooses to believe that Gabba had actually taken her offerings.
Eventually, they did leave their room... Or at least some... Thing resembling them did. F-for starters the Gabba I knew was only about Pomni's height, b-but now I think they're taller than Ragathaโฝโฝ And that's without including whatever that headcrest thingy ontop of their head! I've seen those tassles move on their own! Like strange spindly tentacles-eugh! H-his arms are too long a-and at first I thought I was just seeing things, but nope he has five fingers...! Where did the extra digit come from? Who knows! It's like every time I look at them I notice something's off! They always wipe it away before I can get a good look, but I swear I've seen that weird mark on his head leak some strange black substance like it was... Bleedi-
NOONE IN THE CIRCUS BLEEDS!!
A-at this point I'm going to have to ask Caine if he knows what's going on with them, because I'm too scared to ask them directly, Ragatha's afraid she might touch a nerve, Zooble thinks they might've just found a way to customize their avatar, and Jax, being no help at all, only says things along the lines of; "I dunno, maybe he's finally hit puberty or somethin'?". Pomni's gotten the closest out of all of us but- "Every time I make direct eye contact with them, it's like something screams at me to get away from them as fast as I can... Either that or I have to stop myself from uhh, throwing up? But by then he's usually already gone..Sorry." I really, REALLY hope I'm being paranoid, because my gut is telling me who, o-or whatever that person? Creature? Is, it's NOT the person that went into that room...I-it can't be!
[ I want to keep this "journal" style of writing for the new design's story bits, but obviously I'd have to change a vast majority of the dialogue. Given that the new designs physical differences are so much more prominent than it's predecessor, the whole mystery element of whether or not his change in appearance being something that could be readily brushed off by the rest of the cast would be almost if not entirely non-existant๐ ]
YAHHOOOO!!!! HOLY S#!^ THEY FINALLY SAW IT!! @wonkers-hog the crossovers I'm boutta make with this guy are gonna go crazy ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ๐ฅ
Vastario's redesign is gonna have to be EXTRA SPICY ๐๐๐๐ญ๐(Well, more spicy "extra spicy" than I was already planning on making it anyway๐ )
I did this yesterday, but I forgor to post it ๐:
I redrew One/Gijinka or whatever the heck this thing's name is, I figured I'd do a few side projects in the meantime while trying to figure out the direction of NeedleHog "Vastarios", as well as remembering how to draw modern style mobian anatomy
