Espio and the little "real" hedgehog, Shadow ( ˶˘ ³˘)♡ - Final part

(He's not a real hedgehog anymore.)

Thank you so much for following this story that took me… months to finish, hahaha (I had it all sketched out months ago, but I got to a point where I was tired of drawing, so that's why I didn't continue… I'm working on it, but without forcing myself). I honestly didn't plan on making this story long; in fact, it was only going to be about Espio kissing Shadow, the "real hedgehog", and Shadow kissing him back, but I thought it was a good idea to "extend" it. I enjoyed making it, and I hope to do it again someday, but in a more professional format like a comic. Again, thank you so much. I hope people find this little work and enjoy it, and I'm grateful to those who shared it and watched it :3

Note: I've never drawn two characters kissing before, I had to "do a little research" haha. And about the forehead touching, I bet it's an obstacle for these two because of Espio's horn, but at least they try. And… I was too lazy to draw hands… guilty! :D

Hey there, Shadow. What's up?

Someone's curious. Yeah, this is the big project I'm working on. Wanna see?

Something tells me he isn't that impressed... or maybe he's just annoyed that it isn't yet finished? Don't worry, Shadow, it'll be up and ready soon!

(Nearly done with the first draft of the Three Sovereigns: Act One!)

Espio and the little "real" hedgehog, Shadow ⸜(｡˃ ᵕ ˂ )⸝♡

I wanted to do something else funny, related to Rouge and Espio from the last Chaotix Casefield episode, BUT… out of nowhere it occurred to me, what if I do something with Espio and Shadow in a "real hedgehog" version? And here it is, hahaha. The Rouge stuff and other things related to her and Infinite can wait.

Should there be a part 2? jijijiji Let me know

(I have another "hedgehog" version of Shadow. You tell me, option 1 or option 2, hehehe).

Espio and the little "real" hedgehog, Shadow 🤗 („• ֊ •„)- PART 6

The Prince and the Hedgehog became canon, people, hahaha (I can't draw explosions, have mercy on me, I'll learn, I'm sure of it.)

I tried to do a render that's a little "different" from what I usually do. Am I convinced? More or less, but that's the point, to experiment. I don't know if I'll stick with this technique permanently, but it's a start. I'm trying to improve whenever I can (and when I feel like it). Also, the render is more noticeable on my tablet. I suppose I'm still doing it too subtly, or maybe it's how I export it. I don't know, but I hope you can see the small differences, even if just a little.

Bonus: My "sketches" or doodles (we should call them that) make me laugh.

Espio and the little "real" hedgehog, Shadow 🫶🏻 (˶ᵔ ᵕ ᵔ˶)- PART 5

THE PRINCE AND THE HEDGEHOG!!?? (Like the princess and the frog, hahaha, who would have imagined?) Was it intentional or accidental? Hahaha, I'll leave it up to you to interpret.

Should I count this as my first drawing of them kissing? I'm honestly not sure.

NOTE: I've become very lazy. I want to draw, but the urge to do something else wins out. I need to start improving, hahaha. I wanted to do the Team Chaotix Week 2026 weekly challenge, but tiredness got the better of me. But I want to do it at least next week. I really want to do it.

But I must remind myself to do one thing at a time, even if it frustrates me a little. :,c
