WELCOME TO SONIC-A-DAY MAY WHERE FOR EVERY DAY ON THE MONTH OF MAY, WE CREATE FOR OUR MAGNIFICENT SONIC CAST!
Many were interested in participating to an event like this. So, here we are, the Sonic-A-Day May Event, inspired by @hermitadaymay.
Important rules to note
1. Any type of fanwork is welcome so long as it features, or is otherwise inspired by, the Sonic character of the day.
2. Tag #sonicfriendsaday to have your fanwork reblogged (keep in mind that while every fanwork has its own merit and value, even those involved in more mature themes, this blog will only feature PG-13 works for everyone to enjoy)
3. Fanworks for one Sonic character posted after the day rolls over to another character's day (per the Eastern Day Time) will be reblogged in one big queue in June. I will try my best to reblog everything tagged, please be patient if I haven't reblogged your fanwork.
4. No traced or stolen work allowed. AI-generated/assisted pieces are also not allowed and will not be featured on the blog.
5. Be kind to yourselves. I will not be reblogging posts that talks negatively about your art/skills, whether it is in the caption or the tags. Everyone is always improving.
6. Technically not a rule, but it is strongly recommend adding alt text or description to all images. Click here to learn more about writing alt text.
Small intro on the person running this
Hello there! My name is Bloop! You can use she/her and/or they/them pronouns for me. My main blog is @bloop-im-a-frog-now.
Prompts explained and name of the character for each day
May 1st - Sonic the Hedgehog
May 2nd - Miles "Tails" Prower
May 3rd - Knuckles the Echidna
May 5th - Amy Rose
May 4th - Favorite boss/villain
The Sonic games have many beloved bosses and villains. If you want to create something for Black Doom or Mephiles or the Egg Dragoon, that is the perfect day for them! Metal Overlord and its variations can be for the Metal Sonic day or for this day, it is for you to decide.
May 6th - Cream the Rabbit (and Cheese too!)
May 7th - Big the Cat
May 9th - Dr. Ivo Robotnik/Dr. Eggman
May 8th - Super forms
Since Sonic the Hedgehog 2, super forms have been a staple of this franchise. If you don't have at least one super form per game, then you're probably playing a racing game. Which super form is your favorite? Who would you like to see have a super form? How would super forms affect the body? If super forms come from the Chaos Emeralds, does that mean every living being is familiar with Chaos Energy? Some questions to ponder upon for this day. You can also just do Super Sonic, game, TV show or movie counterpart, and it would fill this prompt!
May 10th - Silver the Hedgehog
May 11th - Blaze the Cat
May 13th - Shadow the Hedgehog
May 12th - Favorite NPC
Sonic games have had many NPC throughout the years. From Chip to Vanilla, some that affect the plot more, others that don't (I see you, Sonic Man (i think that's his name)), it can be anyone that was not playable in a Sonic game! It can also include characters from TV shows or the movies! They can technically be NPCs. They weren't playable in the games. Truly, if you love a character and you wish they were playable, here's your chance to make them shine!
May 14th - Rouge the Bat
May 15th - E-123 OMEGA
May 17th - Vector the Crocodile
May 16th - Favorite comic character
Sonic has many comics! From the Archie's, the manga to the IDW publishing. Do you have a favorite comic character that is not a main member of the Sonic cast? They get a spotlight during that day!
May 18th - Espio the Chameleon
May 19th - Charmy Bee
May 21st - Mighty the Armadillo
May 20th - Chao/Wisp/Koco
Somehow, Sonic games have adorable creatures. Some prefer the Chao, others love the powers the Wisps give you. The Kocos were plot important in Sonic Frontiers, and even have Lore you didn't expect these little creatures would have. Which one do you like? Which type of Chao/Wisp do you like? Now's the time to make your preference known!
May 22nd - Ray the Flying Squirrel
May 23rd - Jet the Hawk
May 24th - Wave the Swallow
May 26th - Storm the Albatross
May 25th - Favorite game
Do you have a favorite Sonic game? Which one is it? It's time to show it some love! You can show your favorite part of that game, you can write about its story, you can talk about a mechanic you thought was really cool. Anything goes, as long as it ties in with your favorite Sonic game.
May 27th - Marine the Raccoon/Sticks the Badger
May 29th - Maria/Gerald Robotnik
May 28th - Favorite zone/location
We all know SEGA loves Green Hill Zone. What about you? Do you like City Escape? Or Final Haunt? Maybe you like Babylon Garden or Planet Wisp! Show some love to your favorite zone/location.
Day 9! Featuring the good doctor himself. This is one of my favorite redesign concepts, from the labcoat to the suit to the cape. He also has a pair of headphones around his neck, but that's a little hard to make out
Day 23! I'm not quite sure what possessed me to just redraw a piece of official art but maybe that's because the Riders artstyle is awesome. Referenced art below
Sonic Mania my beloved. My first real Sonic game, and to this day one of the smoothest-controlling games I've had the pleasure of playing. Wasn't sure quite how best represent it through one image but I think this does the job quite nicely
Day 15! Omega isn't a character I think about too often, so this was more just me learning how to even draw him (I also just don't draw robots too often)
Dayyyyy 6! Cream is another character I've never really drawn before, mostly because I could never remember the details. I added in her Riders visor for a touch of extra flair
