Hi, I liked your drawings and also your AUs I liked them all and I want to know more about Apocalyps and What it talking about
Thank you! I’m glad you like my drawings and the AUs!
The apocalypse one is the oldest one I have, so I have the most info on it! The world is an absolute wasteland. Think Mad Max but if it had a gray filter over it in terms of visuals to an extent. It happened when some raw and unknown power was tapped into during a fight between Sonic and Eggman. The world grew infected, quickly plaguing everything. It created inky monsters that come out during nightmare hours, which is the most dangerous time to be out and about. They can shift in appearance as they please, and it’s unknown if Mobians can be turned into them. No one really wants to find out. Eggman disappeared shortly after the initial infection, and no one knows where he’s at.
One thing about this AU is that there are classes of people depending on how they tend to live.
First there are Scavengers. They’re the most violent group and are borderline barbaric. They travel in different group sizes, typically in any vehicles that survived the world’s downfall. They also steal from camps, sometimes just taking what they need or destroying the whole place.
Then there are Campers. They live in camps and have sworn loyalty to the people inside them. They have one living location, and they do not travel unless absolutely necessary. The leader is typically the one who formed the camp, and everyone has different roles to maximize the chances of survival.
Then there are Scatters. They don’t have a camp, but they aren’t Scavengers either. They tend to wander the land, typically in search for some sort of oasis. Sometimes they search for a way to bring the world back to life. Scatters also tend either be alone or with one or two other people. As far as shelter and living, they’ll typically stay in abandoned buildings as they pass through or in caves. Ray is a part of this category.
This AU primarily follows Tails, but Ray plays an important part on learning more about how these nightmare creatures work. He also travels with Mighty before they end up teaming with Sonic, Tails, and other friends to help save the world. He tends to keep the morale up, but he will rebel if he’s treated like he child who cannot defend himself and told to wait behind in low-stake situations. He also ends up learning some pretty good tips about dealing with the nightmare creatures from Sticks, but that’s way later down the line.
Thank you for asking and showing interest in my AUs! I really hope all of that made sense and wasn’t just bouncing all over the place. If anything else interested or confused you, feel free to ask!
I'd really like to know more abt Ray in your guardian AU? I noticed he's wearing Mighty's boots, so im very intrigued :0c
Ah, the most recent AU I came up with! So um… to put it very simply, essentially half the Sonic cast is uh… dead. But there’s a reason for it, I swear! In this AU, everyone is tied to someone in spirit. When one dies, they become the spirit guardian of the other until they both pass. They can either fight things off as spirits or lend their abilities to the ones their protecting for a limited amount of time. There are a few bits with the system I have to smooth out, but I’m sure it’ll come with time. The world is also more dangerous than it’s been before. It’s not quite apocalyptic, but it’s like the cousin of it.
Now that there’s context, now for Ray:
Mighty died, which just shattered Ray’s world as he was there when it happened. Sonic and Tails took him in, and being unsure of where to go, Ray went with them. He learns later on that Mighty had asked Sonic to watch after him if anything were to happen. He’s glad he’s doing something his brother wanted, but it still makes him feel sick to his stomach if he thinks about it for too long because he’d rather just have Mighty than his wishes. He gets headaches a lot, which is a result of Mighty trying to help him as a spirit. The guardians can temporarily possess the one their protecting and only them specifically. While the protected are rarely aware of it happening, they do get headaches from it and depending on the time length of the possession, they’ll be fatigued as well. But yeah, the boots are essentially all he has left of him, courtesy of Sonic who did not have a good time retrieving them.
Is this AU sad? Yes, but this AU will get some banger art out of me! Or at least as far as my skills will take me! I created it more for the cool factors I imagined in borrowing abilities than the sad parts but angst prevails sometimes. Thanks for asking about it! I hope you got the answers you wanted and that all of this made sense. Feel free to ask more questions if it didn’t.
I wanted to draw Ray in all the AUs/ultra specific scenarios I have. It was honestly quite fun!
Close ups below because zooming in to read sucks:
Headcanon time! To help Ray’s gliding endurance, Mighty would essentially use him as a kite on windy days.
Currently have that Mighty and Ray brain rot.
This is unrelated to my usual Sonic stuff, but I drew my D&D character. His name is Tec.
“It’s no use!”
I made myself a Silver hoodie, and I am now one of the happiest people on earth!
I had so much fun with this project. I have wanted a Sonic hoodie forever, but all the ones I found either sucked, would not ship to anywhere near me, or were only for little kids. Well, I know how to sew so I made it happen for myself!
This design is something I came up with myself, using elements from Silver’s character design and one of the game elements from Sonic ‘06. I also wanted to make it like something I feel like he might wear. This is a super exciting thing for me because this is the first time I’ve made one of my own designs come to life! I will never get rid of this thing, and it might have to be buried with me! The many hours of tedious math, color matching/dyeing, hardcore struggling, running out of materials, and adding a couple extra elements on a whim, all of it was absolutely worth it! It’s one of the most comfortable things I own, and I am so proud of myself! I ended up using this design for a Silver cosplay, which I will show off after I fix the stuff that fell apart at the convention. RIP my boots.
Anyways, I tend to be a more art-centered blog, so here’s a doodle of Silver wearing it too! I’ll do a better drawing later. I just really wanted to show this off!
A follow up to the last thing I reblogged: Thanks again for this one too! Just like the other, it makes me smile every time I look at it! Genuinely makes me so happy!
An Embarrassed Espio and a Concerned Vector this was for chapter 9 of Astra_Terrapin’s Sonic one-shot story!!!
Description: Espio gets to deal with the lovely ordeal of shedding, and it did not go as planned. Despite his attempts at hiding some complications, Vector is there to help.
Mobian but Still Animal by Astra_Terrapin Chapters: 9/? Fandom: Sonic the Hedgehog - All Media Types, Sonic the Hedgehog (Video Games), Sonic the Hedgehog (IDW Comics) Rating: General Audiences
Summary: This is simply a bunch of short stories centered around animal fun facts and how I think they would affect Sonic and the gang. I love it when authors do this so I figured I could make my own! Requests are welcomed but note that not all will be written. Requests will also be written in random orders. . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . . .
This came out so much better then I thought it was I’m actually happy with it!! Getting the sketch for Vector and doing the background was probably the hardest part, My favorite part was Espio! I’m just sad I couldn’t do the heart on his chest :<
I tried to add a Japanese element to his room. . . . I like the design could be more Japanese tho, I wanted to give him a tatami floor but I’m pretty sure the chaotix rant that place and/or have better things to spend their money on (like all the cracks in the walls) so I settled for a small mat instead, there was also another design for the background but I Hated how it looked Anyway,
hope you like it! And feel free to link it in your story!
It took me way too long to understand the importance of reblogging, but it’s better late than never. Just wanted to say thank you so much for this! I know it’s a couple months old now, but it still makes me super happy every time I see it!
sweet boy Silver hibernating in his blanket pile <3
Description: Silver discovers that Mobians do, in fact, hibernate. Luckily, he has some friends to help him through his first hibernation.

Please check them out their Amazing all of their stories are really sweet!!!!!!!
and if you to feel free to comment and tell them what you liked, or what they could improve on (spoiler alert ITS NOTHING, their amazing)
I can’t believe this is what you wanted me to do!!! It so funny how I already had it made!
Update: Teacher did approve! He was very happy with my work and gave me tips on little nuances I can do to make it even better! (So stoked!)
Also, thanks @mightyray for the little compliments in the tags! I’ve seen different ones from different people (and have loved every single one to death, repeatedly makes my day), but since these were your tags, I figured I could thank you specifically.
Just finished up a bunch of homework and wanted to show off my favorite one from all of the jumping animations I had to do.
I want to see what happens when she fricking snaps.
Suddenly got really motivated to animate another headcanon of mine.
Headcanon: When Ray gets tired or just wants to have some extra fun, he will ride on Mighty's backpack (whenever he has one). Mighty usually doesn't notice until he notices it's been oddly quiet.
Just finished up a bunch of homework and wanted to show off my favorite one from all of the jumping animations I had to do.
I spotted numerous characters in the Crossworlds trailer, and oh my goodness, I am HYPED! Literally went through the whole thing frame by frame. So first of all, there's frigging Charmy! I'm so excited!
I think I might've found Espio too, but it wouldn't clear up at all.
Super tiny, but it was the best I could get. If it truly is Espio, then we finally get the whole Chaotix together once again! Honestly the only thing I was devastated about in Team Sonic Racing. Man, I hope it's Espio because it really looks like him!
I also spotted Wave! Fitting since Jet is in here too, but still! Didn't see Storm anywhere, but I'm sure he has to be here too if Jet and Wave are there.
Then Cream seems to be playable, so we'll finally have the entirety of Team Rose! Super excited!
And then there's Sage!
I'm so excited to see so many characters! I was also stoked to see dinosaurs! Frigging love reptiles! But yeah, those are all the characters I spotted! Man, I'm so excited for this game!
This was never meant to see the internet, but I actually really like it! It’s my first ever storyboard, and it’s based on a headcanon of mine that Vector used to throw Mighty and Knuckles like dodgeballs when they were all one big group in the past.
Genuinely probably the most fun I’ve had when designing a character. Taking my precious puppers and turn her into a Sonic character! She likes to run around in the woods a lot, so I gave her clothing for that. Would highly recommend doing this if looking for an art prompt. I just desperately beg that you tag me or something because I want to see your pet(s).
And this wouldn’t be complete without the lovely lady that inspired this.
Dreaming of an absolution and endless blue skies.
Just a reminder.
Team Sonic doodle page!
I couldn’t help myself. I had to draw it.
my ass is too tired to write or draw rn, but i still want to rant so
this is from a silly perspective with no ill-will, but i am genuinely surprised that people in some parts of the sonic fandom REALLY think that charmy has brainrot or is an ipad baby
do. do you think. that charmy has accessibility to any other tech device in his home that is not the shitty always-buffering tv in the chaotix’s cramped living room, and or the old telephone on vector’s office desk that’s only used for calling clients. that little guy has not seen anything on a screen that wasn’t cable tv dated kids shows; you KNOW vector isn’t paying for anything else that isn’t food, the phone bill, the water bill or the electricity bill—and that includes internet in the home. he ain’t paying for no phone or ipad, nuh uh, not while they can’t even afford basic necessities
the little bee definitely also prefers physical play over just watching something and sitting kinda still. there is SO much pep and energy in that small body, he needs to move and get it all out and fly around and move his arms while drawing—he probably wouldn’t like just watching something for long periods of time. he wanna moooooove.
istg if you said “skibidi” infront of charmy, he would probably get scared and think you were possessed before he’d call for espio or vector to beat the ghost out of you.
so. yeah. charmy is most definitely not an ipad brainrotted kid, not when the chaotix are quite literally struggling to afford food and /w also type of child the little bee is 👍
Children say out-of-pocket things sometimes. Charmy is not an exception.
Some Espio doodles because why not.
Idea:
A bonus level in a Sonic game -maybe like a SXS Generations add-on or just something if Sonic Heroes were to be remade. It has absolutely nothing to do with the story and is there for nothing but sheer joy and chaos. You are in a large area with many, many breakable items, and the goal is to destroy as much as you can as fast as possible. BUT!
You get to play as Omega.
Hi, I loved your drawings and I also love Mighty and Ray.
Hello! Thank you! I had fun with them! I’m also happy to see a fellow fan appreciating the duo!
Mighty and Ray time for days!
. . . . I don’t check tumblr for like a few weeks and I come back and You Havr Art! It’s so cute!!! Lil knuckles and Rey! And Espio dancing Snfkshksjdna they’re all so Cute!!!
Haha! Thanks! I had a lot of fun with them! I’ve been considering posting my art for years now, but seeing how well my writing was received on AO3, I figured putting up art might not be that bad. I still get nervous before pressing post, but I hope to get used to it soon! I’m also still figuring out the website, so yippee I suppose!
Always love a bit of Team Chaotix.
