Description More results of my bored stupor. The first one is an idea I've been pondering in my mind for a fair while now, while the second is one that's come up only relatively recently. These are Shadow the Hedgehog and Tikal the Echidna from an unspecified new alternate universe that I haven't developed, so these were mostly done for fun for the mean time.

---

Shadow here is designed in a de-powered state. In this world, Maria escapes the ARK raid and Shadow is instead captured by G.U.N, from there on being experimented on by the government to harness his Ultimate Lifeform genes. After an incident that absorbs his Chaos Energy, his Black Arms DNA is stripped from him entirely, rendering him a very ordinary and powerless Hedgehog. Design was simple, his red stripes were removed, quills dropped down, his fur has gone from a jet black to a pale dark brown, and his eyes have gone from red to a faded grey. He has his Inhibitor Rings removed from his wrists and ankles as he no longer needs his power suppressed, the rings are carried around his waist as a belt for sentimental value. His focus and reflexes aren't as sharp as they used to be without his Black Arms DNA giving him natural speed; now unable to use his Air Shoes, he exchanges them for simple Soap Shoes. The cuffs where his Inhibitor Rings used to be are based on the design underneath his rings as shown in the Shadow side ending cutscene in Sonic 06. His wrist and ankle bands are altered slightly, and his chest fur is drooped down rather than sticking outwards.

Tikal on the other hand is designed to show having developed MOAR POWER. After an alternate series of events leading towards the climax of SA1, Perfect Chaos is not defeated and instead Tikal seals herself and Chaos within the Master Emerald a second time. This time formulating a plan to quell Chaos' rage once and for all; by merging his consciousness with her own. From within the Master Emerald, Tikal willingly merges herself with Chaos, becoming Chaos Tikal. As Chaos Tikal, Tikal is able to harness his powers in the form of an armoured exo-skeleton. I'll likely adjust her design later to be less copyright infringe-y, since her armour is pretty much ripped straight from Guyver's design:Β static.comicvine.com/uploads/o… (it's worth noting that Guyver was also the basis for Emerl/Gizoid's design). The colour scheme of her fur and muzzle being all green has a double meaning: firstly showing an alternative take on the Tikhaos idea who was entirely green, and secondly showing her off as a "Chaos Tikal", in the same manner Chaos Knuckles was all green in appearance. The armour's colour scheme is based on Generations!Perfect Chaos' weird armour plating.

Anyways, more random crap that doesn't really have much substance as yet. Slowly getting there, I guess, but man my ideas are stale at present.

You're more than welcome! It makes me wonder how the future of Sonic would be affected by these changes. I mean, for one, Sonic's grandmother would never be cured of her NIDs (kind of like in Expanse-4,) and the Master Emerald would probably not need as much protecting.Β 

And thanks a bunch for replying to me! I love your Sonic work! SEGA should really hire you for work on one of the games!

Shadow changing colors? That's different than what I'd expect. Probably Expanse 2. But I would like to know what happened to Maria in ExpansesΒ 2 through 4 (I would be interested in seeing how she of all people became GUN's Commander).

Hey, Cylent I'm actually using Paintshop Pro X6 to make my comics and it's coming along quite nicely (I actually have my first story arc already in mind! I plan on bringing back Fleetway Super Sonic. Remember the Super Sonic with the weird spirals for eyes?)

Do the comics have any real effect on the same sonic universe as a whole? Or is it a different universe?

Well, this particular world is just a one off, so I haven't had any ideas for it besides this little concept haha. As for my other universes, they don't have any effect on the main world.

MKBrony [2015-05-23 13:52:48 +0000 UTC]

Have you heard of Tikhaos? Tikhaos is a character from the Archie comics in one of the future timelines and it is essentially the fusion of Chaos into Tikal, but the result caused Tikal to gain a liquified body like Chaos 0 while maintaining her normal echidna shape. Tikhaos also requires chaos energy (so rings, possibly chaos drives and even the emeralds) for sustenance.

When drawing sonic characters do you start with the eyes or mouth?

I do basic head shape first, but between mouth/muzzle and eyes, I start with the eye shape.

I like that you've given explanations/stories for each of these alternate character designs.

Tikal is a cutie, though I definitely prefer her usual orange color -- this pea green just doesn't complement the teal of the armor.
