Meme based off of an exchange of comments in @merlyybird’s fic Different Stars. Really good fic and highly recommend reading. Genuinely one of the best fics I’ve read in a while. Anyways, I wear this meme as a badge of honor.

I was looking your guardian au. So...how Tails died? I love this brothers drama.

Honestly, me too. You’re real for that. 

So Tails crashed the Tornado. It was just supposed to be another day of scouting for any nearby dangers, but it unfortunately took a turn for the worse. One thing leads to another, and he crashes. Sonic tries to save him, but it only results with Tails dying in his arms. Sonic doesn’t return to the site ever again. At least not of his own will. The Tornado is essentially left to rot, but a certain fox spirit ends up taking care of it anyways. I know that last bit was unrelated a tiny bit, but I like it. 

Thanks for your question! I love talking about my AUs so this made my evening! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask! 

I was supposed to be doing something else, but I made concept art for my apocalypse au instead.

To all the authors out there on AO3:

If I leave a comment and not a kudos, it was an accident. I get so excited to leave a comment that I forget to kudos. It has happened a few times, and it will almost certainly happen again.

When ur mutuals w/ some cool ass people rb if u agree

One last little note. To everyone who left a comment on the feedback form, I just want you to know that you basically made me cry happy tears at work. You are all so nice and have made my entire year. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

For now, back to our regularly schedueled Chaotix posts, and until next year!

(but not really, cause I'm still here and will still be interacting lol. The ask box is always open! I love to chat about my hyperfixation. But yes, until next year for the event)

Today is International Chameleon Day. To celebrate, I drew my favorite chameleon of all time in the silliest style and pose my tired brain could come up with. Enjoy the scraggly stick boy.

Day 7: Yeehaw!/Free Prompt

Team Chaotix = Cool

Cowboys = Cool

Cowboy Chaotix = Double Cool

I think cowboys are cool and decided why the heck not? Enjoy Espio and Vector in jeans/chaps.

In all seriousness though, thank you @team-chaotix-week for hosting this! This whole event was so fun! This is the first art/writing challenge I've ever participated in, and I'm so glad it was for a set of some of my favorite characters! It was so much more fun than I expected! I discovered so many awesome artists and writers! I was even inspired to improve on my weak points in both art and writing because everything everyone was making was so cool! It was super fun to see the different and creative takes on the prompts! Overall, a solid 100/10 would absolutely do again!

Day 6: Home

I thought this would be a fun way to portray it. I also just love how vastly different all of their hand sizes are.

Day 5: Mystery - The Case of Mighty and Ray

This was rushed because I changed my idea super last second, but I’m overall pleased with it given the amount of time that went into it.

Small of Body; Brave of Heart

Day 4: Protector

Summary: During what seemed like an easy case, things escalate, and Charmy finds himself as the last member of Team Chaotix standing. With his teammates taken hostage and himself being severely outnumbered, it's up to Charmy to complete the case and get his family back.

This was supposed to be a simple one-shot, but it turned into a three-chapter fic so fast. I like it though!

Day 3: Metal Virus/Nightmare

Every day must’ve been a living nightmare during the Metal Virus outbreak. I sometimes have nightmares that look like this, so I said screw it. Espio will have it too. He’ll be happy by day 5 though, so no worries.

Day 2: Teamwork

Sometimes teamwork is cracking down a case; sometimes it's counting up rent.

I have a martial arts tournament in one and a half days. It is too dark for me to practice outside, and I don’t have enough space to practice inside. I compromised by drawing Espio performing the weapon form I am entering for competition, Nihon No Nunchaku.

hey so like

hi, you. yeah im talking to you. You like my stuff from time to time and reblog once and a while, and I always recognize you in my notes. we’ve never talked, maybe you dont like to say much or you’re nervous or something. it’s okay, whatever it is. 

I see you. you mean a lot to me. sometimes when I’m having a hard day, I’ll notice your name once again in my notifs and it makes me smile. im not kidding.

I don’t care if you’re a “ghost” follower or you send me asks all the time. i see you and I love you so much, genuinely and truly. you are really important to me. 

thank you. thank you for being there. <3

Day 1: Noir

IT’S TEAM CHAOTIX WEEK, BABY! I’ve been so hyped for this. So hyped! I can’t wait to see what everyone came up with!

Anyways, since noir movies are typically filmed in black and white, I wanted to go for a literal black and white drawing.

mutuals who are always interacting with my posts, i love you

So uh… I accidentally made a fan kid. A massive shocker to me since I don’t even ship anyone, but now I have this Sonamy fankid on complete accident. I named him Ace because I think it’d be cool. The only reason he really exists is because I thought the idea of having light blue quills with a lavender-ish shine to them would be cool. I also like the idea that he has the carefree attitude of Sonic while being super touchy and lovey with his friends. This boy thrives on physical touch. Always leaning or slinging his arm around someone.

Reblog if you want to give a hug to your moots

Tails’s lineup has been completed! He probably has the most diversity appearance-wise across all of my AUs.

Closeups because zooming in to read sucks:

Wanted to draw Silver’s and Espio’s friendship in my Chaotix Household AU. The spite is mutual.

Tails and Espio tied for second so I flipped a coin. Espio is now finished! Next up: Tails!

Closeups because zooming in to read sucks:

Silver is done! Three lineups down; about… ten more to go probably. Possibly more than that. But it’s fine because it’s fun! Silver does have a star next to him in the Guardian AU, and that means he’s the main focus of that au.

I made a Sonicsona! I’ve been working on this for a couple days and decided I was going to make myself a turtle! Sonic could use more reptiles anyways, and I based them off of my favorite turtle species, the diamondback terrapin!

I went simple with markings and stuff since that seems to be the style. But woo! First ever sona for something!

Quick ramble about thoughts and details I put into it.

I used a lot of things I love to make this little guy. Turtles are my favorite animals of all time. I also love the color blue and any teals. I think purple eyes is top tier character design plus it was a way to include my second favorite color. I love high/mid top shoes to the point where they’re pretty much all I ever wear. Had to include headphones because I wear them everywhere. I also chose to include the wristband I’ve worn every day for five and a half years now. Also, every pair of gloves I own are fingerless. The only full gloves I had have been missing for two years.

Ramble over! Only excitement now!

Wow! Silver won by a hair! Thanks to the whole 124 of you that voted! After I finish him, I’m probably going to flip a coin on whether Tails or Espio go next. For now, it’s Silver time!

I cannot decide which character to start on next for the life of me. I’m hoping this will get me to start somewhere. I just really like making the lineups. They look kinda like these for me for those who don’t know. I have other characters I plan on doing this for, but I’m not sure their placements in the stories yet.

Some sketches I did to get a feel for Kit’s design.

I drew Kit playing in the rain because I thought it would be fun and I wish to do that same. Also experimented with assets in my art program.

I wanted to include the sketch as well because there’s a niceness to it. Just the simplicity of it makes me happy.

I wanted to try something with my Guardian AU to just get a feel to how lending power/abilities may present themselves. Can the others see the giant Mighty? No, but it’s still cool nonetheless!

Decided to give Mighty the same treatment as Ray. It was once again very fun!
