World of Shining Stars

For mobile users: Issue #1 Cover. The World of Shining Stars is a Sonic fan comic in which all characters are spirits living in another world that is connected with ours. In this comic, you will see them in a completely different world and having completely different roles. This story is about the spirits that guard us, live their lives and protect the world from an unknown danger. Thanks to @spectrumcrovn for translating the comic and for helping me create this sideblog for WOSS. Credit goes to her for editing it, refining it and keeping it organised. Theme by @glenthemes.

Hello, I wanted to ask if the comic and au as a whole was discontinued or put on hiatus. I also wanted to ask if you were ok, you've been gone for a while now.

Unfortunately, Star decided to discontinue this series back in summer last year.

I've struggled to get ahold of her since New Years, likely due to the crisis between Russia and Ukraine, so that's why she hasn't answered any asks herself. I'm unsure if she's okay, but I'll let you know if I get ahold of her :)

✨Best friends✨

I’ve always liked how Amy and Tails were shown as best friends in Sonic X, so I wanted to draw something that shows their friendship

[sonicshiningstars]

Can you do spirit versions of Tangle the Lemur, Whisper the Wolf and Jewel the Beetle from the Sonic IDW comics?

I won't do design for them yet, as I want to learn more about them in order to understand what kind of spirit they can be in this AU

[y-firestar]

Silver!

Can I create fanart of the characters in the comic?

Of course!^^

[sonicshiningstars]

Maybe the wish that Sonic got his hands on belongs to Chris?

Do you mean in this moment?

No, it doesn't belong to Chris. My goal in this scene is not to show which person will receive the wish, but how exactly the spirits know about the appearance of a new dream.

Hello, you draw these characters absolutely wonderfully, could you give us tutorials for some of them? :0

Okay let's start :3

In general, first I draw a sketch of the pose (I don't do it neatly like other artists, but it's so convenient for me. But you can do it however you like). Then on top of it the character (I chose Silver because I adore him XD)

Then I make a line and colour the character

But I do each colour on a separate layer (because it is convenient for me to do so)

When I'm done with this I start making shadows. First, I make them light with a Water Color brush.

Then I start adding the rest of the shadows, but darker. And where necessary, I paint something like "light shadows" (I don't know what it's called :p)

Finally, I add some more "light shadows" on top of all the details, highlights and use a Luminosity (Addition) and Overlay wherever I want. Also I change the colours of the line.

Also, if you want, you can add a background, as I did

I'm not very good at tutorials, but hope this will be helpful for you^^; (And sorry for my bad english)

If Maria is a spirit, then maybe Chris Thorndyke should be a spirit of something as well? Maybe he should be the spirit of Adventure?

A somewhat similar ask was posed here: https://sonicshiningstars.tumblr.com/post/616648191879806976/does-chris-thorndyke-exist-in-this-universe-it

Chris exists in this universe but acts as a regular human disconnected from the spirits. He's not seen often and definitely doesn't play any role to the AU. He's more of a character we recognise but doesn't really get more than one line in, if even that. Maria is the only human spirit. Everyone else lives on Earth.

Point being: Maria is special. Everyone else (including Chris) isn't.

Does Chris Thorndyke exist in this universe? It wouldn't be surprising if that was Chris's desire. No, in this AU the only human is Maria, b

[y-firestar]

I came back from a very very long break^^; I wanted to draw these three, since I don’t draw them often, but I like how they came out^^

[sonicshiningstars]

Have you ever watched Sonic X?

Yes, we’ve watched Sonic X^^

[sonicshiningstars]

I love your art style! I can't wait for the rest of the story it looks super cool!

Aww thank you!!! X3

Now I'm adjusting my mode of operation due to a long absence, but soon there will be new updates. Thank you again!^^

[sonicshiningstars]

hi, so i was looking through your art (it's amazing!) and I noticed that the #'s you did for them usually just say #art. Why don't you write the names of the characters in with it?

The design is my idea.

Since the art is just reblogged from @y-firestar's main blog, it is not necessary to recapture the tags to universally find it when browsing through Tumblr. The reason for any who go onto a blog dedicated to a side project is typically to browse through anything related to that project.

There is no need to specify which characters are captured in the depicted art if there is not much content on them to begin with. Better to be categorical about the content created as it makes everything simpler to organise.

Hello everyone! It’s me, Y-FireStar, the author of WOSS comic. As my friend Crovn aka @spectrumcrovn said, I'm fine. I apologize to all of you for my absence and for making everyone worry. 

As you all know, there is a pandemic in the world right now, therefore, together with my family, I isolated myself from a large number of people for a while. I didn't expect this to take 3 months, as did the lack of the Internet in that area. Actually the Internet was there, but very very slow, so I can assume that it was not there. If I knew this, I would warn you all about my absence in advance. 

Once again, I’m really apologize for my absence. And thanks for reading our blog, I appreciate it! I adore you all! <3 <3

(Sorry for my mistakes, I'm still bad in English)

[sonicshiningstars]

Good news on @y-firestar! She got back to me today and she's fine. She'll be updating WOSS soon and provide an update of her own concerning the reasoning for her absence.

[sonicshiningstars]

Hello. This is Crovn, a.k.a. @spectrumcrovn. I beta and help @y-firestar translating her comic as well as maintaining this sideblog for her.

I apologise on her behalf for the recent inactivity and lack of updates from WOSS. Unfortunately, despite my persisting poking, I've been unable to get a hold of her for some time now. It makes me curious and worried for what might be going on, if it's just real life bugging her or something a little more pressing and concerning. Regardless, I ask you all to keep your hopes up and not to worry yourselves; please be patient with us as we attempt to get the next update out.

And, of course, please stay safe and follow your local guidelines and safety measures, even if the curve has flattened in your area.

I'll give you all an update on the situation once I know more :)

Hello there! Fantastic AU :) I just want to ask...what is Sonic the spirit of? Is it Speed?

Hello! :3

Sonic is spirit of the Wind. Speed ​​is not suitable here, since there other characters have such abilities :)
