For my last Sonictober page, I drew three more of the Halloween skins from Sonic Forces: Speed Battle. This game has some really awesome outfits, okay?
On the 29th, I drew Mummy Knuckles. I’m really happy with how his crown turned out!
Yesterday, I drew Witch Rouge. I always enjoy drawing witch/wizard hats!
And, today, I drew Reaper Metal Sonic. As far as I know, he doesn’t seem to have a scythe in the game, but I decided to give him one on my drawing.
And that wraps up Sonictober! I had a lot of fun doing these doodles all month! And I didn’t miss a single day!
This week, I’m doing some Halloween-themed Sonic drawings! Yesterday’s drawing was Werehog from Sonic Unleashed! I’ve never played Sonic Unleashed before, but it seems cool! I know that it was kind of the start of the Boost playstyle (the modern Sonic playstyle that I love). And the fact that Sonic turns into a werewolf is obviously really cool, too!
Day 28: Vampire Shadow
Today, I drew Vampire Shadow from the Sonic Forces: Speed Battle mobile game. I think that Shadow looks pretty great in a tophat!
Another game that I’ve been loving lately (and haven’t done enough fanart for yet) is Alice: Madness Returns. I bought it during the Steam Autumn Sale last month because I wanted to try something different and I thought it would be a good time to try out my first horror game. Because it’s almost Halloween, I’ve been playing it fairly often for the past couple weeks (whenever I’m not playing Legion Remix in WoW, of course). I finally finished the first chapter of the game a couple days ago. Yes. It took me around a month. I like to joke that I’m a pro gamer, but I’m really not. I had to set this game to easy mode, and it’s still very difficult. But that makes it even more satisfying when I do get past a part I’m struggling with! Over the past year, I’ve become a very patient gamer, as I tend to struggle with the Sonic games at times, too.
Anyway, I drew this drawing because I just wanted to draw my two favorite video game protagonists together. Because they’re both so cool!
Day 26: Therapy Session
Infinite: “Don’t even get me started on the mushrooms…” This is something that happened last night when my siblings and I were hanging out. Let’s be real, Infinite probably could benefit from therapy (he’s got some serious issues he has to work through). But it has nothing to do with mushrooms.
And, for anyone who’s wondering, the Infinite therapy session went on for around a half hour. I was just rambling, doing my amazing Infinite voice impression, and my brother joked that he was picturing Infinite in therapy the entire time. That’s how this drawing came to be.
This one’s another Mario and Sonic at the Olympics one. Sonic and Amy are super excited to ride horses!
Day 24: The flashlight
Of course, this one came from one night when my siblings and I were hanging out and goofing around. I was trying to play with our cat with a flashlight, and ended up shining it in my face (Don’t worry. It didn’t hurt my eyes that much, because it was just for a split second). And I was doing a Knuckles impression when it happened, so I put Knuckles on the drawing.
This something my younger sister said once when she was playing Sonic CD. To this day, still no one knows what will happen if Sonic runs on a treadmill…
Day 19: “Don’t hit Illidan with a lightning whip!”
This is based on the second Infinite boss fight in Sonic Forces. My favorite strategy is just hitting him with the Lightning Wispon over and over again.
I’m sure you all recognize my Warcraft OC, Shadez, here. Basically, he heard “Illidan” grunting in pain a lot, and got really upset. My Sonic OC—her name’s Raven the Cat, by the way—is just trying to fight her nemesis.
That’s actually one of the reasons why I like Infinite. Yes, he’s obviously an antagonist to everyone, but he’s very clearly set up to be your OC’s bad guy. And, as someone who’s always coming up with stories for my OCs, I love that!
Day 20: Magical Metal Sonic
This is another Mario and Sonic at the Olympics one. This one’s based on the Triple Jump minigame. When Metal Sonic’s warming up, we all think it looks like he’s using his magical powers to open a portal or something. I don’t know what that animation is supposed to be. But it’s really funny!
Day 21: Murderous Sonic
Sonic: “DIE!”
This is based on the first Eggman boss fight in Sonic Forces. You’re running around, throwing boulders at his giant mech.
Only the first time I played Sonic Forces, I got a little too excited, and kept throwing boulders at him even when he was already defeated. So, I joke that Sonic got a little bloodthirsty there.
This is another one that came from a time when my younger siblings were playing together. My younger sister was sneezing a lot, and made Knuckles say this line, that we still quote a year later.
Day 17: The Roughest of Rough
This one happened last week, I believe. I was singing Infinite’s theme, and instead of saying “I’m the roughest of waves”, I almost said “I’m the roughest of rough”. I think I was playing Sonic Forces: Speed Battle, and I was working on unlocking him, and I started singing the song to get myself all fired up or something. And, yes, I did unlock him, just a few days ago. I was very excited! And now I’m never uninstalling Sonic Forces: Speed Battle again, so I won’t lose him.
Day 18: Super Sonic Fishing
In my second Sonic Frontiers playthrough, I got very into the fishing part of the game. I didn’t do it at all in my first playthrough, but, this time around, I loved it! In fact, I did it so much that I was able to buy enough keys to pretty much speedrun the game!
This is yet another Mario and Sonic at the Olympics doodle. For a while, my younger sister and I were playing this game together at least once a week. This is based on something I said when we were playing the boxing minigame.
Although the funny thing is that she was playing as Knuckles, and I feel like that’s more like something Knuckles would say. But it was Sonic telling Knuckles to fight him like a true warrior.
Day 15: Math
Infinite: “How old are you?”
Metal Sonic: “Math.”
This one is based on something that happened just yesterday, when Dad was teaching us about computer programming. I had a strange glitch where the program entered its own input. I knew I had to do a drawing, featuring Metal Sonic. And Infinite’s the one asking, because of course he is.
This one is from right after I beat Sonic Forces for the second time. Both times, I beat the game in less than a week, so, theoretically, I can play it once per week (surprisingly, I haven’t started doing that yet).
If you’ve seen enough of my Sonic art posts, you probably know that I enjoy doing the character impressions while I’m playing. And I’d say I’m pretty decent at doing most Sonic character voices. But one of the ones I just can’t figure out how to do is Infinite’s. And, ironically, he’s the one where I’ve been practicing his voice the longest (because he sounds exactly like Illidan Stormrage). Despite all this, my Infinite/Illidan impression is still hilariously bad. If you want to know how bad it is, I literally make them sound like Wario. I’m not too upset about it, because it fits the chaos that ensues whenever I’m messing around with my siblings. But I just think it’s funny that I’ve been trying for about seven years, and still can’t do it. I think the problem is that I can’t get my voice deep enough.
So, the joke here is that, if I play Sonic Forces once a week, maybe I’ll learn how to do his voice better. But I kinda doubt that would change anything. I am by no means a professional voice actor. I just do the voices to be funny.
Day 13: “We’re going to Burger King.”
Rouge: “We’re going to Burger King.”
I don’t know. This is something random I said once while I was playing Sonic Adventure 2. I was struggling with a Rouge level, and slowly losing my mind, probably.
It was nice to finally draw Shadow this month! He took a weirdly long time to show up, and I usually draw him fairly regularly, because he’s one of my favorites. My top three at the moment are probably Infinite, Sonic, and Shadow. My favorite constantly switches between Sonic and Infinite, so they’re usually tied. But I do go through phases where I’m slightly more into one than the other, and I’ve been very into Infinite lately. Shadow’s almost always right behind those two these days.
This one’s based on when I play Sonic and the Black Knight. It’s one of my favorite games of all time! The only problem is that all that Wii remote motion control action can hurt my arm. Because I’m an artist who draws every day, I make sure to play this game holding the Wii remote in my left hand to protect my drawing arm. Although, last time I played, I didn’t have much arm pain at all. But that’s because my brother and my older sister (who have both played quite a bit of Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword) told me that I don’t have to be so aggressive with my swings. And that definitely helped. Sonic may be fighting hordes of monsters, but that doesn’t mean that I have to swing the Wii remote like I’m fighting for my life.
Day 11: “SILVER!!!”
This one’s another Mario and Sonic at the Olympics one. Can you tell that I love this game?
This drawing’s based on something funny that happened when my siblings and I were playing the rugby game together (which is my favorite minigame in the whole game, in case you were wondering). When the time came for my sisters to do the conversion part (forgive me if I worded this weird. I’m no sports expert), my younger sister, who was playing as Silver, somehow managed to throw the ball backwards. This was the only time anyone had ever done that, and it’s gone down in history as one of our many funny gaming moments that we’ll always remember.
