The year is coming to an end. You know what that means. It’s time for this year’s Summary of Art!

2025 has definitely been one of my best drawing years. I was super confident in my art this year, and I drew a lot of stuff that was very me. I feel like I’ve improved a lot this year, but I guess that happens every year.

In these last couple months, there’s been some struggles (elbow pain is my worst enemy, as an artist), but I still drew some really good drawings!

Anyway, that’s enough introduction. Let’s get into it!

January: Chill Hedgehog

I honestly forgot that this one was from this year. I thought I drew it last year.

Anyway, even though it’s an older drawing, I still think it’s one of my best drawings of Sonic. I feel like I captured his design and attitude perfectly!

February: Sonic and Kocos

This was when I was starting my second Sonic Frontiers playthrough. I was inspired by the giant field of flowers on Kronos Island in the game, and I wanted to draw it. And I decided to add the kocos in, too, because they’re cute!

I remember that inking that field of flowers took forever. But, in the end, I’m really happy with out it came out!

March: “JUSTICE!”

I went over the story of this one in my Sonic Forces Shenanigans post. I’m still really happy with that fire effect.

April: Infinite

This is an early drawing of him, but it’s still one of my favorites. I love the lighting on his mask. And his hair turned out really nice, too!

Although, one thing that I realized later on is that his one hand may or may not be on backwards. I feel like I placed his thumb a little weirdly. But, it’s too late. The drawing’s already done. And, even with that little mistake, I’m still really happy with it!

May: Sonic Forces

I know, I know. I’ve said it a thousand times on this blog. But I’ll say it again. Sonic Forces is my favorite Sonic game, because I’m so cool and different! (No. It’s because I played the game and genuinely loved it. But I am still cool and different, because I’m a creative person).

Anyway, this drawing is meant to look like the cover for the Sonic Forces album, Vocal Traxx On the Edge. It was really fun playing around with different techniques! And the logo turned out really good, too. I drew it by hand, and I’m really proud of myself for putting in that effort!

June: Raven vs. Infinite

This drawing took forever! I had so many layer folders to keep the characters and the background all nice and organized. But it turned out really good!

Although, I do think it’s funny that I gave my OC the Hover Wispon. NEVER use the Hover Wispon when you’re fighting Infinite! It literally deals no damage. Use the Lightning one, and just smack him with the lightning whip over and over again. Just a pro gamer tip from Shadez.

July: Expression Sheet

Just some Sonic characters doing funny expressions. That’s all.

August: Sonic Fantasy AU

This is based on a fanfiction that I started this summer. It’s Sonic characters in a fantasy setting. Sonic is an awesome knight (inspired by Sonic and the Black Knight, obviously). Infinite is the main antagonist. He’s a warlock who’s trying to bring the demons to the mortal world to destroy it.

I haven’t worked on it in a long time. Writing fanfiction is a little tricky, and I don’t do it as often as I used to. But it still is fun whenever I feel like doing a bit of writing. But, yeah, I would like to pick up this story again someday. I was pretty proud of it!

September: Brewfest

Finally! Some Warcraft art!

If you’ve read my comic, I’m sure you recognize my dwarf warrior, Argrim. The other is his wife, Shaimina, my dwarf rogue. My story that I had in mind when I drew this is that they had their first date at Brewfest.

I’m really happy with the colors on this one! I was specifically going for a warm, cozy color palette. I think I captured the look I was going for pretty well!

October: “Want tea?” and “Ow!”

Some of my best Sonictober drawings! I go into more detail on these drawings in their original post. They’re both based on funny things my younger siblings did. And I’m still really happy with that Mephiles! It was my first time ever drawing him!

November: Alice and Sal

I’ve never played Sally Face. But my sister has. So, I decided to draw both of our favorite knife-wielding, traumatized horror protagonists.

December: Sonic and Shadow

This one’s inspired by one of the Sonic IDW comic variant covers. I had a lot of fun with the poses, and that dramatic lighting!

And, that’s my 2025 Summary of Art! I hope you all enjoyed the drawings, and have a happy New Year!
