Hi, I loved your drawings and I also love Mighty and Ray.

Hello! Thank you! I had fun with them! I’m also happy to see a fellow fan appreciating the duo!

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.

Always love a bit of Team Chaotix.

This was never meant to see the internet, but I actually really like it! It’s my first ever storyboard, and it’s based on a headcanon of mine that Vector used to throw Mighty and Knuckles like dodgeballs when they were all one big group in the past.

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! 

Hi, I liked your drawings and also your AUs I liked them all and I want to know more about Apocalyps and What it talking about

Thank you! I’m glad you like my drawings and the AUs! 

The apocalypse one is the oldest one I have, so I have the most info on it! The world is an absolute wasteland. Think Mad Max but if it had a gray filter over it in terms of visuals to an extent. It happened when some raw and unknown power was tapped into during a fight between Sonic and Eggman. The world grew infected, quickly plaguing everything. It created inky monsters that come out during nightmare hours, which is the most dangerous time to be out and about. They can shift in appearance as they please, and it’s unknown if Mobians can be turned into them. No one really wants to find out. Eggman disappeared shortly after the initial infection, and no one knows where he’s at. 

One thing about this AU is that there are classes of people depending on how they tend to live. 

First there are Scavengers. They’re the most violent group and are borderline barbaric. They travel in different group sizes, typically in any vehicles that survived the world’s downfall. They also steal from camps, sometimes just taking what they need or destroying the whole place. 

Then there are Campers. They live in camps and have sworn loyalty to the people inside them. They have one living location, and they do not travel unless absolutely necessary. The leader is typically the one who formed the camp, and everyone has different roles to maximize the chances of survival. 

Then there are Scatters. They don’t have a camp, but they aren’t Scavengers either. They tend to wander the land, typically in search for some sort of oasis. Sometimes they search for a way to bring the world back to life. Scatters also tend either be alone or with one or two other people. As far as shelter and living, they’ll typically stay in abandoned buildings as they pass through or in caves. Ray is a part of this category. 

This AU primarily follows Tails, but Ray plays an important part on learning more about how these nightmare creatures work. He also travels with Mighty before they end up teaming with Sonic, Tails, and other friends to help save the world. He tends to keep the morale up, but he will rebel if he’s treated like he child who cannot defend himself and told to wait behind in low-stake situations. He also ends up learning some pretty good tips about dealing with the nightmare creatures from Sticks, but that’s way later down the line. 

Thank you for asking and showing interest in my AUs! I really hope all of that made sense and wasn’t just bouncing all over the place. If anything else interested or confused you, feel free to ask! 

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:

I wanted to draw Ray in all the AUs/ultra specific scenarios I have. It was honestly quite fun!

Close ups below because zooming in to read sucks:

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

Currently have that Mighty and Ray brain rot.
