🖤 THEME IDEAS POLL 💙

Last year, Sonadowtober followed an overarching theme (“cozy”) and I think it’d be fun to continue that!! The conundrum: what theme to pick this year. Gauging public interest for various ideas w/ this poll.

The theme will influence what the daily prompts are!

What sounds most interesting?

Circus/Carnival

Renaissance Faire

Joy & Whimsy

Sci-Fi / Neon Cyberpunk

This poll was so tight omg, I was on the edge of my seat watching it 😂 Looks like neon cyberpunk narrowly stole the lead at the end!! Thanks for voting, everyone 💖

Hey! I was wondering when the list for this year will be posted, assuming it'll be returning?

Hiya!! Thanks for asking! There’s not a set date for when the prompt list will come out, but my goal is to get it put together and out into the world with at LEAST a month’s notice, if not more ^^

Days 27, 29, and 31 of @sonadowtober

Day 27: Shared Meal. Haha… if it isn’t yet another fanart of a @nebrasska-alasska fic…. This time it’s Tethered at the Wrist! This was the famous cooking scene that later got changed to just be a meal cooked rather than making the meal together, but I wanted to draw what I could remember of the original scene. It was pretty hard drawing without looking back at the scene lol

Day 29/31: Orchard and Fairy Lights. Im a big fan of Dadow. I don’t always headcanon Silver as a descendant of Shadow, but man is it fun to see the Dadow art. So I decided to have a fun little picnic scene of parental Sonadow with baby Silver!

—

Wooooo I finally finished! With these I have drawn something (even if I combined some ) for every prompt of Sonadowtober 2025!! This has been so much fun and my ability to draw Sonic has grown so much! I still have so many ideas for fanart but this really helped me get to actually do them!

Sonadowtober Day 29: Orchard (this isn’t done until I’m done)

Dance Au, act 5, Shadow is confusing Sonic with paper

[rhidrawsstuff]

Days 25,26,28, and 30 of @sonadowtober

Day 25: Companion I drew @thesonadowshow fanart of the kittens and guys!

Day 26: Games. I went with a DnD session with everyone. I think it’d be HILARIOUS to see everyone play a session together. Shadow is def trying to pick a fight lmao

Day 28 and 30: Night Out and Forever. So I had to take this opportunity to draw my prediction for @nebrasska-alasska ‘s fic Wedding Ring Under Glove. We don’t actually know how they got married (nor if Rouge and Knuckles got married or just /together/) but I’ve been imagining the scene over and over. I can’t help but feel like Eggman officiated and it was a double ceremony lol. I am so excited for more reveals to happen and to see if my prediction was right (I definitely thought about putting Omega as the officiant but thought Eggman was a better fit)

Day 29: Orchard

Just a little Sonadow date at an apple orchard : D

[blahlahblash]

Day 29: Orchard I imagine Sonic likes to chill and play something calm when alone. He gets awkward when people just watch tho, because ofc
