I don’t really do fanart much! But I’ve been noodling with drawing Sonic characters—they’re fast, expressive, and deceptively simple. But then I think, nah, let’s not draw a bunch of these, shouldn’t I draw something original that’s not beholden to a capitalistic corporate entity? But then, nah, I couldn’t even do OCs in a similar style, because it would still be in dialogue with the existing Sonic works, and mine wouldn’t have an independent raison d’etre, so would even acknowledging Sonic as an influence be okay? …anyway, here are some ground-up redesigns of Sonic the Hedgehog I did back when the first movie’s Nightmare Sonic trailer dropped. Have fun! Don’t think so much you freeze yourself in place!
