Sonictober 2026: Day 18: Infinite

I know I’ve already drawn him a couple times this month, but this is Infinite’s dedicated day on the prompt list. So, I’ll talk about him a little bit more here.

He’s my favorite Sonic character! Considering I was obsessed with a certain demon hunter for seven years, it isn’t very surprising that I would get all excited, playing Sonic Forces for the first time, and seeing a character who’s so similar in so many ways. Both are very angry, vengeful, and put themselves through crazy stuff to get power, ultimately because they felt like they weren’t enough. The huge difference is that Illidan uses his darkness to try to save the world, while Infinite uses his to try to destroy it.

Obviously, the Illidan comparison is a big reason why I got so attached to Infinite. I joke about it all the time. But he has his own things going for him, too. His powers are awesome. He’s got possibly my favorite character design ever. And his insecurity is more obvious than Illidan’s. You can see how hard he’s trying to be edgy and dramatic, and I just find it very amusing. He’s so dramatic, and I love him! Oh, and another thing he has that Illidan doesn’t is that he’s actually relevant to the story again, which is very exciting!
