SonAmy Week Day 5: Fantasy

 

      Hi. I finished the piece before midnight but I should go to bed so here it is and I'll come back to edit (I gotta come back anyway, I have two more days to go... and no ideas for those days. Oops.)

SonAmy Week Day 4: Emerald Coast

 

      Hey, I managed to finish up this piece for today with some time to spare in the day for starting tomorrow's prompt since I work tomorrow, ew. So here goes:

"And that's where Tails crash landed. An orca chased me on my over to him." I've been playing through Sonic Adventure this summer so it's still fresh in my mind (I may have also accidentally played this level twice as Sonic). I actually have to beat both Sonic and Amy's final bosses and finish Knuckles' story. I already beat Tails', although that last level was a struggle because of the flying being a bit finnicky. I have not started playing through Big and Gamma but I'll get to them. Oh, so about Sonic's outfit here... or lack thereof... yeah, he was in my mind going to be wearing a shirt so he wasn't totally naked but then I sketched him and didn't feel like adding the shirt and just never added it later on so take it or leave it. I also thought of sandals but again, didn't draw them. It's kinda hard for me to spit out digital drawings on the daily, especially when I have a job, so forgive me for cutting corners, I'm tired. I am actually using this time that I'm posting to take a break from drawing cuz I've been doing it nearly all day long... and I have another prompt that I should start tonight cuz I have work tomorrow so that means I can't draw for a good 8 or 9 hours. Hope to be posting again tomorrow, toodles.

SonAmy Week Day 3: Idols

 

      Hi, I'm gonna drop it and run but not without the backstory for this piece... cuz it has one. 

Rising popstar Amy Rose collaborated with well known rockstar Son!c on a track for her experimental pop rock album and were set to debut it at an awards show. Unfortunately for Son!c, Amy made some alterations to the choreography once they were on stage. The rockstar got so flustered that he flubbed his lyrics... it became a meme and the most downloaded version of the song for weeks afterwards. 

The idea was fun but drawing Amy was hard on me. Let's see how I handle the next two days. Toodles.

SonAmy Week Day 2: 90s

 

      So no one told you life was gonna be this way... 👏 👏👏👏👏 Ok, so I managed to finish the prompt for day two a little while ago (helps that I don't normally work on Tuesdays hehe) so here it is:

I thought this one was pretty fun, or at least the concept was fun enough. I mean, these are characters that were created in the 90s, they should be allowed some nostalgia for the period. There was some pretty good stuff in the 90s. Not gonna list it now but yeah, they keep getting glossed over in favor of the 80s, early 2000s, and the 70s a bit since that fashion is coming back... and you know, Gen X loves the 80s cuz they peaked in high school and could buy pizza for a dollar (I might be exaggerating a bit). Anyway, I knew I wanted to draw them in 90s fashion but throw in some character elements from that time period so Amy's color scheme is based on her classic outfit but I didn't want to draw her in the skirt lol. Besides, putting her in overalls makes her look more like the tomboy she was originally described to be so it fits. Sonic's marketing being all "this guy's cooler than Mario! He's hip!" definitely inspired me and he tends to be associated with skateboards so I had to make him a skater boy - 'scuse me, boi. He's wearing the light speed shoes from Sonic Adventure because that game came out in '98 and I happen to be playing through that game for the first time ever too. His shirt has the pilot emblem he used to pop out of at the beginning of his games. The background is based off of some Japanese Sonic CD box art I saw on google and that is Amy's first video game appearance so yes, had to do it. Well, I explained this piece enough and I have stuff to do, including starting up tomorrow's prompt. Hope I can make that one in time cuz I do work tomorrow and I work in an office so I can't be bringing my drawing setup with me. Anyway, toodles and hope to be back tomorrow with another piece.

SonAmy Week Day 1: Manga

 

      Hi! So I forgot to post here for a few months lol. I was hardly drawing digitally because this old tablet of mine was giving me some trouble where if I unplugged it, my laptop would restart... well, I broke the cheap usb cable I was using for it and got a new one last week and I have not had that issue so I guess it was the cable 😂. It's still an old tablet though and I have such a hard time doing lineart cuz it's a regular drawing tablet with no screen so I could still use an upgrade but it doesn't have to be now thankfully. Anyway, I found out about this SonAmy week a couple months ago and thought I'd try it out so here I am posting my first piece for it: 

I went for them reading manga because I couldn't figure out what manga/anime I'd draw them as or if I should do a manga style comic so I came up with a third option. They're reading Sailor Moon and Dragonball because last summer I had caught up to One Piece (anime) and I was between these two for next anime cuz I was in the mood for some more 90s nostalgia... I ended up choosing Sailor Moon (watched season one alongside Fruits Basket) and became obsessed with a franchise that has taken notes from Dragonball😅. So yeah, they're enjoying a nice date just reading while sitting in what looks like a macaroon because of course I did my cheap attempt at a background. I cannot be bothered to draw a full scenery (and I wanted to draw manga/comics like this...) so they're not even on a full sofa and to fill the white space and draw your eyes to the center where they're sitting, semi-circular swoops of color. Yeah, that works. Anyway, I've gotta finish up prompt two and figure out what I'll draw for day three. Oh, and I have a couple pieces I finished between April and now but I'll post those later. Anyway, toodles. Hope to see you tomorrow :)

Trauma Bonding + Fearless Shadow + KNUCKLES!!!

 

      Oh boy, I haven't been keeping up with posting here. Time to dump some stuff and run: 

Well this thing didn't post in the order I wanted. First thing is a meme I came up with and did early March, the Shadow one I finished tonight, and then the Knuckles ones are from late March. I'd talk more but I don't feel like it right now so when I do, I'll come back and add an edit. Till next time I post doodles, toodles.

Knock, Knock, It's Knuckles

 

      So glad the title was easy to come up with 😂 I found out last night that Groundhog Day was also when Sonic 3 and Knuckles was released in '94, which makes the game and Knuckles 30 years old. I knew the anniversary was coming up but I didn't know exactly when so I drew this up today:

I had the idea for this meme a while ago and actually thought of it yesterday at work so made sense to me to draw it today. Was able to whip this up in a couple of hours which was surprising. Guess I'm back in the drawing groove. Don't know how much more drawing I'll be doing in the near future tho cuz I'm thinking of getting a new laptop since mine has gotten more finicky than normal lately. It hasn't restarted today while I was drawing thankfully *squints suspiciously* but the program I use to draw will act up on me and I have to close it and reopen it if I want to keep working on something so idk if it's the program itself is buggy or it's a touch incompatible with my five and a half year old windows 10 laptop (I've had it five and a half years but idk how old it is exactly. I wasn't there in the factory when they manufactured it). My laptop also barely has any storage on it but that's on me really. But yeah, I think it's time for an upgrade. But I've gotta pay off credit cards before I can do that so that I use one of them to buy a new one since January was not a very good month for me financially. But I got my car painted finally, after having it for nearly six years 😃 Oh, let me post the alternate version with no text too before I finish this post and leave.

Alright, and now I make my exit. Till next doodle, toodles.
