working with Onyx’s expressions

started reading A Change in Perspective and From the Shadows of the Deep, got inspired (would recommend reading)

Say hello to a siren/kraken version of Onyx (and Doom Morph Onyx)!

--

Drew this one ⬇️ on Wednesday. The rest were drawn Thursday.

--

Practicing with drawing hands.

--

Originally, was just going to have the tentacle things (that are in place of her quill spikes) move when she was experiencing different emotions… but then I decided to add colors to it. May or may not change or modify later.

Full-body side view:

Doom Morph (she looks more like an octopus than a squid 😭):

--

This one is by far my favorite. Didn’t want to draw over it with my pen for fear of ruining it.

remembering what past versions of Onyx looked and acted like… so I wrote them down

I literally created Onyx right after Sonic 3 came out, and she’s already on her sixth version.

(Also, typing out “sixth” felt so wrong. It doesn’t even look like a real word.)

Anyway…

exploring different concepts for Onyx’s backstory

Decided to draw her in the most recent idea I had.

experimenting with different poses

Edit to add:

I was thinking of Spider-Man while drawing these… if you couldn’t tell.

drawing Onyx again ✨

The only difference is that the one on the right is at 175% zoom instead of only 100% zoom.

I tried to draw Shadow…

(Ignore the fact that I didn’t draw his shoes. I suck at drawing shoes, the reference image I used cut off at his shoes, and I was too lazy to look up another reference image.)

Final product (3):

Rough sketch (2):

Reference image:

She looks like she’s judging people. Honestly? I don’t blame her.

Onyx’s design is getting better and better.

And I’m finally able to draw hands more decently!

💜

I decided to redesign Onyx after I made this ⬇️ and redrew her.

I was struggling to make the purple and black (or purple and really dark purple) work… and white (or really light purple) just seems to go a lot better with her.

…and I wanted to make them two sides of the same coin anyway: opposite, yet the same.

Eyes still look a little odd, but I’m getting better. And I’m so glad I figured out the shape of the quills (I was watching the Snapcube fandubs last night and got a good look at the shape of Shadow’s quills… soo… that helped).

💜

still working on figuring out how to draw my Sonic OC

She’s starting to look better… I think I figured out the quills… but I can’t get the eyes a reasonable size, lol

Colored her in on IbisPaintX:

Surprisingly, it only took me a little over two hours to color her in on IbisPaintX.

💜

I got something!! Yay! Here y’all go!

Happy International Asexuality Day my guys, gals, and non-binary pals!

🖤🩶🤍💜

HOW DID I NOT KNOW THAT INTERNATIONAL ASEXUALITY DAY WAS TODAY?!?

Drew this last year. Here you go. This was supposed to be a profile pic for one of my accounts. I’ll try to draw something better to add to this, but this was all I had right now.

I’m going to use this last one as a new profile pic ⬇️

tried to draw my Sonic OC again to get better with the anatomy

I think it went better this time. Still trying to figure out how to properly draw the hands, feet, and quills, but at least I drew them this time

(ignore the faded mushroom in the background; I drew that first and tried to erase it so I’d have space to draw my OC)

(and I was drawing in a dark room, so some of the stuff might look janky)

y’all, I wanna start reading (and potentially start writing) fanfics

But I don’t know where to start. I have an Ao3 account now, but I’d like to hear some suggestions for fics to read!

—

Fandoms I’m in:

1. Sonic the Hedgehog

2. Marvel Cinematic Universe

3. Percy Jackson (it’s been a while since I’ve read the books, but whatever—I’d be up for reading some fic about Nico being happy with his boyfriend or getting closure with his sister or something)

…just had an idea for a fic I could write.

I need to get on that shit.

—

Anyway, if y’all have any suggestions, please let me know!

>(Imaginary bonus points if it’s a really niche, underrated fic! I wanna support other small artists and writers!)<

drew a flower on Wednesday with one of those pens that only has pink, blue, green, and purple colors on it

And I used an orange pen in the middle… but mostly just the rainbow pen (the pen that only has pink, blue, green, purple on it).

drew one of the flowers we got last year (it survived winter! yay!)

50 posts!

Got this yesterday. Yay!!

💜

drew some more mushrooms with alcohol markers and outlined it with paint pens

The mushrooms with the pink outline and the mushrooms with the orange outline were already there. I just drew the mushroom with the blue outline.

The white outlines were a bit janky… but it was hard to see the edges of the mushrooms (since I used darker colors for the mushrooms and was drawing in a semi-dark room.

Otherwise, I’m really happy with my little mushroom drawing!

💜

these are just…too pretty not to share

this was just me trying to see what shade my mixture of paint was (I was using gouache)

and these were the halves of paper towels I put under my paper while painting

drew a flower from a plant I planted today!

Painted with gouache.

Decided to go with a black outline.

(Light blue outline is paint pen.)
