I Wanted To Try Something With My Guardian AU To Just Get A Feel To How Lending Power/abilities May Present

This is unrelated to my usual Sonic stuff, but I drew my D&D character. His name is Tec.

Today is International Chameleon Day. To celebrate, I drew my favorite chameleon of all time in the silliest style and pose my tired brain could come up with. Enjoy the scraggly stick boy.

I just wanted to say another huge thank you to everyone who particiapated in Team Chaotix Week, be it as a creator or spectator!

One last little note. To everyone who left a comment on the feedback form, I just want you to know that you basically made me cry happy tears at work. You are all so nice and have made my entire year. Thank you from the bottom of my heart.

For now, back to our regularly schedueled Chaotix posts, and until next year!

(but not really, cause I'm still here and will still be interacting lol. The ask box is always open! I love to chat about my hyperfixation. But yes, until next year for the event)

I was given a character design assignment and was told I could go for whatever fandom I wanted. I am insanely proud of Captain Coral and her crew, The Reef! I have six others I haven't drawn yet, but they will be drawn one day!

I was looking your guardian au. So...how Tails died? I love this brothers drama.

Honestly, me too. You’re real for that. 

So Tails crashed the Tornado. It was just supposed to be another day of scouting for any nearby dangers, but it unfortunately took a turn for the worse. One thing leads to another, and he crashes. Sonic tries to save him, but it only results with Tails dying in his arms. Sonic doesn’t return to the site ever again. At least not of his own will. The Tornado is essentially left to rot, but a certain fox spirit ends up taking care of it anyways. I know that last bit was unrelated a tiny bit, but I like it. 

Thanks for your question! I love talking about my AUs so this made my evening! If you have any other questions, feel free to ask! 

Meme based off of an exchange of comments in @merlyybird’s fic Different Stars. Really good fic and highly recommend reading. Genuinely one of the best fics I’ve read in a while. Anyways, I wear this meme as a badge of honor.

Just finished up a bunch of homework and wanted to show off my favorite one from all of the jumping animations I had to do.

Tails’s lineup has been completed! He probably has the most diversity appearance-wise across all of my AUs.

Closeups because zooming in to read sucks:

To all the authors out there on AO3:

If I leave a comment and not a kudos, it was an accident. I get so excited to leave a comment that I forget to kudos. It has happened a few times, and it will almost certainly happen again.

I'd really like to know more abt Ray in your guardian AU? I noticed he's wearing Mighty's boots, so im very intrigued :0c

Ah, the most recent AU I came up with! So um… to put it very simply, essentially half the Sonic cast is uh… dead. But there’s a reason for it, I swear! In this AU, everyone is tied to someone in spirit. When one dies, they become the spirit guardian of the other until they both pass. They can either fight things off as spirits or lend their abilities to the ones their protecting for a limited amount of time. There are a few bits with the system I have to smooth out, but I’m sure it’ll come with time. The world is also more dangerous than it’s been before. It’s not quite apocalyptic, but it’s like the cousin of it. 

Now that there’s context, now for Ray: 

Mighty died, which just shattered Ray’s world as he was there when it happened. Sonic and Tails took him in, and being unsure of where to go, Ray went with them. He learns later on that Mighty had asked Sonic to watch after him if anything were to happen. He’s glad he’s doing something his brother wanted, but it still makes him feel sick to his stomach if he thinks about it for too long because he’d rather just have Mighty than his wishes. He gets headaches a lot, which is a result of Mighty trying to help him as a spirit. The guardians can temporarily possess the one their protecting and only them specifically. While the protected are rarely aware of it happening, they do get headaches from it and depending on the time length of the possession, they’ll be fatigued as well. But yeah, the boots are essentially all he has left of him, courtesy of Sonic who did not have a good time retrieving them. 

Is this AU sad? Yes, but this AU will get some banger art out of me! Or at least as far as my skills will take me! I created it more for the cool factors I imagined in borrowing abilities than the sad parts but angst prevails sometimes. Thanks for asking about it! I hope you got the answers you wanted and that all of this made sense.  Feel free to ask more questions if it didn’t.
