If I knew about King Sonic and Jester Shadow before I made the Sonic Verse account I totally would’ve included them (probably over Snap and OG, love those guys but they’re pretty much just Doom and Emerald so…) but I LOVE THESE GUYS!!! They are so silly!
(Also I love the name “Bells” that is adorable omfg)
Yeah for Shadow he’d probably just be “King.” Oh and I stole those jester hands from the render because it’s so perfect.
I like to think Jester Sonic is a rubber hose guy, he can just… bend the laws of reality and no one questions it. Like pinkie pie!
I actually got this ask over on the Ask Sonic Verse acc but I moved it over here, thanks for the ask @highasf23 !
I was making plans to rewrite it with a friend and continue it with brand now Sonic’s and Shadows, but right as we were about to launch it the TSG stuff happened and I left everything for awhile.
My love for Sonic and Sonadow has been… tainted. I won’t lie. I’m working on getting it back but it’s been hard.
But maybe in the future I’ll end up looking back at it and finally relaunch it with the plan that me and my friend (miles) have. :)
Hi hi! I just wanted to say,new update compared to the first post,you improved so much in drawing these guys in such a small time! I just thought it would be nice to point it out,you should be proud!! (Sorry bad English noot noot)
Hello!!! Thank you for the kind words!!
Honestly your ask made me go back and look and wow, you were right!
I decided to re-draw some old frames to give myself a confidence boost and I think I did pretty well!
Just to ask. If King Shadow and Jester Sonic was in the sonic verse—what would King Arthur and Sir Lancelot think of them?
Hmm dynamics dynamics dynamics… (Also Sonic Verse part update at the bottom!)
Bell = Jester Sonic
King = King Shadow
Changes “Bells” just to “Bell” because I kept reading “balls” LMFAO)
Bell and Sir Lancelot
- Bell absolutely adores Lance. He’s just like King, but without the bite. When Lancelot isn’t trailing behind Arthur, it’s likely you would find Bell trying to make him crack a smile or laugh. Doing tricks or re-counting stories. Lancelot thinks Jesters in general aren’t required for a kingdom to function, but he doesn’t mind the presence of Bell and secretly finds him a bit amusing.
Bell and King Arthur
- King Arthur is glad to finally have a pair that understands them, at least on a worldly level. While Bell and King are from a different, much more fantasy like world, they talk similarly which is nice. Arthur even laughs at his jokes and feels comfortable leaving Bell with Lance when he’s off to talk with the others. Bell also really admires and respects Arthur, especially since he and Lance clap at the end of his performances.
King and King Arthur
- King and Arthur have a mostly diplomatic relatonship. They treat each other the way they would treat the kings of their worlds. But King is definitely more hostile, a tug during a too tight handshake to try and throw Arthur off balance would be common. But even if King towers over Arthur, he isn’t intimidated so easily. King of course sees this as a challenge, so he continues to subtly disrespect him at every opportunity.
King and Sir Lancelot
- King would ignore most of the Shadows, seeing them as lesser to himself. But this would certainly be ten folded with Lancelot. Even if Lancelot ranks high in Arthur’s personal court, King still sees him as someone subservient, aka not worth his time. Lancelot extremely dislikes King for the way he treats both Arthur and Bell. While he tries to remain diplomatic, even he can’t help the occasional glare and snide remark.
Bell and King
- Okay, this is where it gets a little messy. Bell and King are pretty toxic so you’re going to have to bear with me here. (We have too many happy couples guys) Bell has been working in the kingdom since both he and King were kids. When King took over after Black Doom, he kept Bell around to amuse him, sending away the other jesters who worked alongside him. Bell does his best to keep a smile on his face, he is really good at repressing his emotions and acting positive. They have a very strong power imbalance, even if Bell is allowed to poke a little fun at the King. And King isn’t against using it. While not totally abusive, it would deifneltey toe the line.
However, in the Sonic Verse, King would very quickly get a reality check that he can’t treat Bell the way he would back home with most of the Sonic’s, and even a few Shadows, stepping in to cement that it doesn’t work that way here. I’d have to be very sensitive in the way I handle such a topic and do more research on it before I truly wrote anything for them.
Maybe after Sonic Verse is finished, there would be a second one where I could include more Sonadow pairs. (Pirate Sonic and Shadow, Zonic and Zhadow, Their gay animal print outfits, Archie Versions, STC/Fleetway, etc) but maybe more as a universe jumping adventure!
This makes me want to draw them all now… guys please
Also no Sonic Verse part today or tommorow, maybe expect the next one either Sunday or Monday. I’ve been a little nervous to post these next parts since we’re finishing up our first arc 🥹
P.S: I love the designs you do for each characters 😭💙🖤 If I may ask, how exactly do you draw the Sonic casts? I've tried drawing them, but I can't seem to do it right :(
Omg TY for the kind words 🥺🙏
This is kind of the best I can do for tutorials 💔 I’m not great at them but I hope it helps show my process a little bit!!
