ngl i finished this like a week ago but could not for the life of me quit going back to make it prettier so i'm posting it now if only to force myself to Stop
so anyway. new sona ref yayyyyyyy i like it a whole bunch <333
extra versions & marking details under the cut
this is what i look like for real in actual real life btw
i am going to CONTINUE being annoying about my sona because i suddenly realized i've had them for So So So goddamn long & looked back at their designs over the years and. well while it makes sense that they would have about 3764 changes since being made in 2017, it is still really funny to me to realize the large majority of those changes were apparently in 2017 alone
these are the oldest i could find- April 18 & June 24 2017 respectively. literally no clue where the first came from but for the second specifically i'm like 98% sure i ripped off an old youtube drama speedpaint video. please accept my apology for ever being 13 yrs old
then July 2017, the 14th & 25th respectively. i think the cake was for a follower milestone on undertale amino </3 anyway they're still MOSTLY the same but count as redesigns bc New Colors & the second one actually has a body & clothes lmao
August 7 2017: finally went moth mode for reasons i remember absolutely none of. ngl i think i only remembered moths have wings After the initial sketch & that's Probably why those look just kinda slapped on & make the design cluttered to hell
October 1 2017 i gave em a cheap hoodie i had irl that fell apart in like a year. you may notice the wings are gone & that's because i realized extremely quickly that i very much did not fucking want to draw or design detailed moth wings
then i kinda just Stopped drawing them for some reason, so these are from March 25 2018 & June 1 2019. god only knows why the first has grey fingers & blue antennae but that's Another hoodie i had irl. the second one tho was the first of all these to be posted to tumblr. they finally grew pupils 🥹
August 21 2020 i changed the rainbow to this rlly nice green, chopped off the weird bangs, & finally added glasses since I've had them for most of my life lol. but in full honesty i hate that first ref THE most because WHY do you have a receding hairline at 16 yrs old!!!! second one is October 2021 & literally exactly the same except Not Ugly
finally in April 2022 i saw the second sonic movie and Locked The Fuck In. the outfit's the same BUT they're way more sonic proportioned now & microdose yaoi hands. also the fluffy mane thing has been Sharpened, just for fun
so w/ the NEW design wayyyyy back up there 👆 i just wanted to better reflect how i dress nowadays, since i'm not a teen anymore & no longer have a style consisting entirely of several oversized black hoodies with slightly differing designs. i also went hog wild on the proportions Just Because 😌
also i drew these like 2 years ago but i only just realized they're not stuck in portfolio review hell anymore so i can actually post them now lets GOOOOO
i really wanna take a min to appreciate the stylization of sonic prime btw, like so many screenshots of it, especially from the emotional bits of the s2 finale, are able to look just like digital paintings and thats so awesome to me
i think there is nothing quite as satisfying as starting to design a character and knowing from the start you are NAILING the exact vibes you’re going for
well folks my teacher gave me an assignment to design a superhero based on renewable energy sources so uh anyway here’s the basic concept for my biofuel superhero
