Did a bit more with the Persephone design and did an Aphrodite for fun

Aphrodite Notes:

Tried to tone down the pink a bit by lightening/desaturating some of it

Also tried to include some pastel yellows and blues in the hair, eyes, and outfit

Her hair is based on the parade version, in which there's some hot pink included (see undercut with other images)

Persephone Notes:

Her toga's red stripe is reminiscent of both blood and the color of a pomegranate

The crown she wears on olympus (pictured in image) resembles the skull motif of the underworld (see side-by-side undercut with other images)

In the underworld her crown actually rests on her hair and is pointed, leading to a silhouette that actually makes her look like a pomegranate herself

"Kill yourself" is basic. "I hope your fandom gets a new installment that is objectively a great work but also tonally dissonant from the previous ones in a way that generates a huge newbie boom of people uninterested and hostile towards the history of the franchise" is smart. It's possible. It's terrifying. It's happening right now.

"I'm begging for a future to exist..."

EYESTRAIN BELOW WOO

so i decided to draw a sonic oc thats LITERALLY been rattling around my brain. I've also created some lore for them as a species but I'm also Very Shy about sharing stuff.

Obliterating everything that's not Your friend nothin' can stop you now No ghost to bring you down When there's nothing left to lose, you win!

Anyway, in this essay, I will talk about how Shadow has NPD and no one can convince me otherwise--

That's a joke but yeah, I was listening to All Hail Shadow and was struck with inspiration of drawing him with the NPD flag :3

Him and Jet are NPD on NPD violence to me...

Also, fun fact: the sun symbol is the symbol of Team Dark in the 9 Years AU!

[astralfandoms]

Refuse to die or let them make you small 'Cause they love just to see you convinced You're just "a brick in the wall"

...so did I mention that I was a DevilDice fan.

anyway, hey, it's everyone's favourite depressed ass coyote

And you might be saying "wait in canon he's not depressed though"

I know!

I just gave him like. 10x the amount of trauma and also am working on a whole ass fic that explores how he lost the right side of his body and also his relationship with the other Egg Crackers (9 Years AU's version of the Knothole Freedom Fighters)

Also I love fucking around with color palletes <3

[astralfandoms]

Don't care to witness careless villainy out in plain sight I'm glad that you can make some money off what's killin' me in real life

Here's the group that I lovingly call the "Post Forces Grippies Gang" because all of them were, in one way or another, involved in the plot of Sonic Forces in our rewrite and then had mental breaks that landed them in the same mental hospital.

So, from top to bottom, we have Cirrus (AKA Predator Hawk), Eclipse, Mordred (+ Mori), Scourge, and Infinite.

They have a group chat where they just talk after getting out of the hospital, and they then just will meet up with each other to do check-ups and make sure they're doing okay.

Also I realized that I keep drawing Scourge in semi-depressing art. I am. not sorry actually it's fun i love torturing this green ass hedgehog <3

Also after drawing this, I realized that that 3/5ths of this group are all (former) Eggman flunkies, meanwhile the remaining two are heroes who were Going Through It.

Spaaaaaace Channel 5!

A design of Ulala from Space Channel 5, drawn in several outfits for @astralfandoms / @eldritchtaur's *9 Years AU*! In which, we've included Ulala because... why not. I thought it'd be fun. I was infact the one who suggested it for their au- anyways go check it out hehe

Outfits Are: Space Reporter - Orange, White, Yellow. Based off of her regular outfit.

Misfits of Ages - AU Centric Outfit, Inspired by her Spy Suit from Part 2.

Peach Dress - An interpretation of the Peach Suit from SC5P2.

Woolen Wear - An interpretation of the Woolen Wear from SC5P2!

Did anyone order Maximillian Acorn being a morally dubious man and father?

No?

Well, too bad, because he's so fucking shady in 9 Years AU.

I want to go into more details, but also I would need to actually draw him to do that imo.

So, for now, just know he's very jealous of the relationship of Clutch and Mammoth and covers his insecurity by being a giant asshole.

[astralfandoms]

Oh hey it's us!

Did anyone ask for Mordred Hood system + AU designs?

No?

Well, too bad.

So, if we had a nickel for every time a villain in our AU ended up getting such bad mental issues that they ended up willingly going into a mental hospital, we would have so many issues.

So, story with Mordred (darker) and Mori (lighter) was that after the events of Forces, Mori in particular was extremely shaken with what Eggman did, so resigned from his position as an Egg Bossand went to go turn themselves into a mental hospital, as they were having...not so good thoughts.

Afterwards, they end up recovering due to building a support system within the walls, including a blue hawk with a manic streak.

I am spreading my "Chaos is a fat person" agenda <3

also no offense to Frontiers, but I like Chaos's "he's a god" backstory, so that's what he is in 9 Years AU <3

[astralfandoms]

So are we good about canon characters who have been so heavily changed that they're practically OCs?

No?

Too bad, I'm doing anyway.

Anyway, so first we have Circuit, who is Omochao but if he decided "actually I'm done being baby i want POWER". He's...a bit shady, having gotten all of his parts from scrapped Eggman robots, but he's normal...as normal as you can be when your main employer is Clutch the Opossum.

And then there's Mirage, who is the Mirage Express but if it survived and also were really gay with the Express Conductor and his wife. It's extremely cheerful and bubbly...up until you even hint any sort of discontent with the Conductor. It's...very protective of him and can only be snapped out of those episodes by the Conductor himself. Otherwise, it just continues to run the Express, now having a body to help "drive" the train.

Anyway, I love both of them and I would die for both of them! <3

And I will /j

It's our favourite sleazy businessman, Clutch!

Disabled at a young age, he was mostly retired from some of his shadier dealings...until a certain pink hedgehog messed with his Chao Races, bringing him right back into the criminal scene.

I have a lot of vibes for him, but TLDR; gay old disabled trans man who has a lot of issues that he copes usually very badly with.

Also yes, I changed his color scheme, I think he's more of a royal purple sorta guy (he has NPD I mean whoa who said that)

[astralfandoms]

Oh, Zavok, you could've been so much better.

So I'm making you better.

Anyway, Zavok is now the leader of the Deadly Six, a group of the Six most powerful Zeti, under their leader, who I will probably elaborate on later (spoiler alert: it involves Sonic and the Black Knight).

He's tired of being used as a pawn and is just biding his time to see the best time to enact his own plans to get him back to his pack.

That is, if his emotions don't get in the way first.
