Just a lil doodle before going to bed

Gamer boii commission done! Expand to see the speedpaint :D

Do you think Shadow would listen to Sleep Token?

Finally gave Sonic Frontiers Final Horizon a go and so far I’m having kinda mixed feelings.

Expand for big ramble

I’m excited we get to play as other characters again and exploring the island with them is pretty fun. But their gameplay feels a bit off? Unpolished? A lof of their platforming sections feel like I’m performing some kind of difficult glitch in an area I should be careful not to clip out of. I often feel pretty directionless too and only figure out things by accident. Or I find a way to fly over the challenge to skip it completely. This might just be me not having played for a while and being rusty, but after looking online, I’m glad I’m not the only one who noticed quite a difficulty spike.

At first when I switched back to Sonic I felt relieved. The spin dash is really cool and I figured that since the game is mostly designed around him, I’d get less frustrated. That quickly changed once I started my climb on the first tower though. After maybe ten tries or so I decided to put the game away for the time being cuz of getting too frustrated.

I don’t mind a challenge every now and then, but if I keep going “just gotta get through this and then we’re back in the flow again” over and over without getting in that flow again somewhere in between, that’s not fun to me. I really wanna enjoy playing this, but I dunno if that’s possible if the entire DLC keeps feeling like that for me

i'll never not hold disdain for the idea of "content starvation" and the more i see people parade it around the more i hate it

Accepting my fate, I give in

Blue wolf comin' though!

Traditional piece of Team Dark! I think this is the first time I drew Omega :0

"I cant draw" then do it bad who gives a fuck.....

If the Shadow in SA2 was the original, it would explain why he was able to survive the fall back to earth at the end of the game. At the end of Shadow the Hedgehog (game) Eggman admitted to Shadow that he is the original as well. Which at the very least means he’s the original from all of the ones we see in Heroes and Shadow’s own game.

It’s not unheard of for other characters with similar strength to survive falling from space to a planet either, with Sonic doing it multiple times in Sonic X and it happening around the end of Sonic Colors. Probably some other games too that I’m forgetting rn

How long do you think Shadow was on earth when Maria sent him down in the escape pod before GUN captured him? There’s so much stuff abt Maria getting shot but I don’t see much discussion abt the immediate aftermath.. Being alone on an unfamiliar planet gotta be scary as fuck. Do we even know where the pod landed? Could’ve ended up in the ocean for all I know. If that were the case it’d make sense that he couldn’t hide from them

so the timeline and details between shadow getting launched from the ark and his reawakening on Prison Island are pretty vague and leave a lot up to interpretation.

timeline wise, it's unlikely that he was on earth for long before being found by GUN - my main reasoning for this is that pretty much every event regarding shadow's backstory is described as happening "50 years ago." the black comet's first arrival, shadow's creation, the GUN raid, and gerald's execution all seem to take place within the span of this same year. my personal interpretation is that shadow's escape pod was probably on earth for no more than a month before it was found by GUN.

it also seems unlikely that shadow was conscious after he crashed to earth - at least, it's not a period of time he ever mentions or seems to remember (which doesn't necessarily mean he wasn't awake, but personally i always thought he would've been unconscious during this period of time. that, or there's something larger going on here).

this period of time in shadow's backstory is incredibly vague, but its ambiguity is something i would argue is deliberate. one of the biggest questions raised in sonic adventure 2 is whether or not shadow is the "original" shadow or even the true ultimate lifeform. this question is brought up by rouge, who identifies the biolizard as the original ultimate lifeform (though she's technically incorrect because the biolizard was just a prototype to the ultimate lifeform). even though rouge is wrong, this question is incredibly important to shadow's character and comes up a few more times over the course of SA2.

so there's a very, very real possibility that the shadow in SA2 is not the original shadow/ultimate lifeform created on the ark 50 years ago. it's possible that the original shadow died after being launched from the ark, and that SA2 shadow is a clone of the original. it's also possible that the original ultimate lifeform wasn't "shadow" at all, and literally every single one of shadow's memories about this time were entirely fabricated by gerald. there's also extremely compelling evidence that this original ultimate lifeform was actually sonic. the hedgehog. just a lil game theory for you to chew on there (gets shot)

anyway so. my answer is that shadow was either just taking a month long nap after he was launched from the ark or that he was fucking dead

Shout out to @gabriel-wolf-fox and @vvvvvvvvvvw for being absolute speed when it comes to liking my posts and liking whatever I post. I know I’m a teeny tiny creator here, but I see you and I appreciate it a lot! 😋

Sum traditional art! I like drawing outside

This is absolutely gorgeous, but the first thing that came to mind was that one cat meme with the knives

Hyperfixation goes brrrr

reasons i haven’t replied back:

- i’m socially exhausted - i don’t have the time right now - i don’t know how to reply - i have a bad memory and got distracted - i’m having a depressive episode and don’t have the energy to socialise

not reasons i haven’t replied back:

- i’m ignoring you just because - i hate you - i’m fed up with you - i don’t want to be your friend anymore

When the hyperfixation hits like a truck Might color this later

There’s a certain thrill I get from playing Sonic games that, whenever I find it in other games, I immediately latch onto it. The more I think about it, the more I find it in my other hobbies and interests. I’m guessing it has to do with quick reaction times and rewards. Either way, here’s some things that make my ADHD brain go brrrrr in no particular order:

Speedy Sonic levels

Web swinging in Spider-Man games

Rhythm games

Fast paced music

Skateboarding (or what I imagine it would feel like when you’re actually good at it)

(Mountain)biking

Driving on the highway (still a lil scary tho)

Imagining the running parkour man outside of the car following you

Free running / parkour

Running on a trampoline

Tree climbing

Might add more later if I come up with more stuff

Got my art program working again! Not sure what to do as BG yet...

I made something

Not to hate on either PC or console gaming but while I love the customizability and broadness of PC gaming, I hate how overly complicated everything has to be. Especially when it comes to ports. With console gaming it's just like you pop in the CD/card/whatever and it works while with PC, if you're unlucky you gotta go over ten thousand settings before you can even start with playing and half of the time controllers don't even work. I don't mind playing games with keyboard and mouse when it's meant for that, or the game is altered to work for that style but if it doesn't it always feels kinda clunky or at the very least it takes time before I can get properly used to it. I just wanna press play and get going, y'know? Maybe I'm too autistic for this, I dunno

Hey, I love your artwork, so, I was wondering, is that okay to help you with ideas to draw, cause I'm an editor, so I can send you a photo, that can help you, if you like to?

Heya! Thank you so much! While I appreciate the offer, I already have plenty of art ideas with wayyy too little to draw them all, so I'll have to pass. Sorry!
