my art summary for this year! first time I’ve ever done one of these, and holy shit the improvement is a crazy looking at it like this

(more yapping (fucking. ESSAY) under the cut)

man. it’s been over a year since the sonic brainworms got me (started October of last year with the snapcube fandubs -> snapcube frontiers playthrough -> listening to the frontiers ost and falling in love with it) and. Man has it been fun!! I’ve found so much good new music, art, artists, writers, stories, etc., and becoming a fan right when all kinds of stuff was lined up for the year probably helped too.

I do think taking the plunge and trying to draw sonic characters has aided my love for the series too, since in previous fandoms I’ve been in I would be excited about them, but being able to create for it brings a whole new level to my enjoyment I think. and, of course, this brought me to making my OCs, my most beloved little guys who I’ve grown very attached to over the course of the year.

now, not to yap too much, but, about the art I chose for the summary!

January and February were actually kind of hard to pick for, since my program (sketchbook) doesn’t include dates for when you create a new drawing, so I mostly relied on dates in discord servers and on tumblr for when I posted things. Technically the January drawing was made in December of last year (bc I genuinely don’t remember what I drew in January), and the February one I can’t be sure when it was made, since it was never posted anywhere. I mostly just estimated, and ohhh god looking through my old art was an experience. seeing how I used to draw shadow was interesting (I used to give him what I referred to as ‘prime eyes’, or, the eyes on his sonic prime model, rather than his game model). I guess I had seen more sonic prime clips/screenshots then game ones, and that worked its way into how I drew shadow. I do still kinda like the drawing though, I still think it kinda holds up. Maybe I redraw it sometime. I don’t have much to say about the blaze doodle though, I think I’m just proud of myself for trying with the hands (as flat as they look).

march! That one was drawn for a friend, who I had gotten into the snapcube fandubs, of one of my favorite moments in the shadow ‘05 dub. I added more to it here, but this was the original, and again, it’s certainly not bad! For most of this year, when I drew, I hardly used references, but this was one of the times I did, and I certainly worked in my favor (you can tell I was too lazy to do the emeralds though).

April’s piece comes from a doodle page I did where I doodled while referencing screenshots from the unleashed opening cutscene (UNLEASHED OPENING MY BELOVED <3 <3) and that was my favorite of the poses I guess, so I added to it and made that little drawing! I vaguely tried at a background, but it doesn’t look like much.

while I still see lots of problems with May’s piece, it’s not bad. Perhaps even a step in the right direction /j. I found I showcase of a blender model and instantly downloaded blender and the model to play with it, and I took some screenshots of some of the poses I made and used one as a reference for this drawing. Proportions could definitely be better, as well as some small perspective things I notice now, but hey! I lined, colored, and shaded something, which isn’t something I do often, even now, despite what the last half of the year might make you believe.

Speaking of which, June’s piece is the only one of the refs I made for artfight this year of my OCs and fankids that I think still holds up! It’s not great, at least by my standards now, but the best of the bunch for sure. I rushed to make these late in June before artfight started, and while I had more OCs lined up (early concepts of characters like hooke, joule, and peten) I only had time for four (team Starfall + axel). Borealis has since gotten a cleaner redesign, but I don’t mind his old design either.

Then comes July, the month of artfight itself! out of the attacks I made, I figure the piece I made of emthimofnight’s stellar was the best of the bunch. I looked for refs of ice skaters to find a base to create this specific pose, and while the perspectives are okay, I like how I did the shoes the most. Normally shoes are tough for me, especially perspective-wise, so I’m glad with how I did here. Actually looking back at this piece is reminding me of my thick lineart era, in which I much preferred using thick lineart and couldn’t possibly see myself doing thin lineart (though my comparison in my head was mostly like. Anime-thin lineart so uh. Yeah). I’ve slowly gotten to do thinner lineart over time, but not crazy thin, and you can even see later in the year, with the art trades that I went back to thick lineart, just a little bit differently than before.

I drew a lot in august, perhaps some of the most I’ve drawn this year aside from in November (most of it hasn’t been posted online tho, only in discord servers). and I made much nicer stuff in November too, but I specifically chose this doodle because of what it means for my journey. This doodle was a pivotal point, in which I tried something new and fucking loved it. I loved the sketchy style, the rectangular eyes, the minimal outline on the muzzle. Idk why, it just stood out to me and I’ve been drawing sonic characters like that since.

Going into September, school started, so I had a lot less time to draw, but it’s been more towards the last couple of months where I’ve gotten really invested in my OCs and their stories, so I drew them a lot around this time. at one point, I drew this doodle of axel (which I actually can’t remember if I drew it that month or not, I think I might have though??), and looked at him for a moment. and around this same time I had been looking at the idw art book, and been reminded of surge’s concept designs, one of which had a similar quill style to axel, and a stripe running down the face. which got me thinking, “how would axel look with a stripe?” So i quickly made a couple of versions, and consulted one of the discord servers im in about it. Eventually it got down to a version with yellow stripes (my personal favorite) and one with blue stripes. Both looked good, but one person suggested using both, and either the same person or someone else suggested a fade, and so I made a couple versions of the fade using this same drawing as my base, and eventually found the one I liked, which is his current design. To date, I think this is one of my favorite drawings I’ve done of axel, idk why. It’s not the most polished, but I love it, that’s literally my guy right there. yknow?

October! octobers piece is an art trade I did with st4rrzyy (just never posted it) of their character Hannah the bat! it’s not the only art trade I did that month, but I think it’s my favorite of the two. I chose to make the cloak all flowy, and give the character a dynamic pose, which isn’t something I do often. I actually referenced some sonic channel art for this specific pose, one of cream! It’s nothing too crazy overall, but there were definitely some new things for me, especially in that I got the courage to show interest in an art trade, and did something fully finished.

November piece, November piece I love you (I have not posted it). This was from an art trade i did with m3tr0n0m333, of their character Charr the hedgehog! This time around, I opened art trades in one of the discord servers I’m in, since I was on break for thanksgiving, and want even sure I’d get any interest tbh, since I’m not a big artist whose stuff is amazing or smth. But! Talking about the art itself, I referenced another sonic channel art piece, the January calendar illustration of shadow and infinite as singers, and yoinked shadow’s pose to give to charr, I felt like it fit well with them. Once my sketch was done, I stopped for a moment, and wasn’t sure how I would do my lineart, before deciding fuck it we ball and trying out something new. And I ended up loving it. It feels like I’ve gone full circle, coming back to do thick lineart, just this time it was with a different brush instead of my usual pencil, and I loooove how it looks. I also went ahead and colored in some of the lineart too, not with the most rhyme or reason at first, but eventually following my lighting/shading, putting harsh white highlights in places I lit up, and using the same color of a given area on a hard light clipping layer in some shadowed parts. Definitely my best artwork of the year, for sure.

and then for December (which also hasn’t been posted), I don’t actually have much to say about, it’s very similar to November’s piece. I opened up art trades and traded with someone in one of the discord servers I’m in (I don’t know if they’re one tumblr so I don’t know their user/the character’s name, sorry). I referenced a screenshot I had saved of blaze from one of the Winter Olympics games, and decided I wanted to go the same route as the November piece for the lineart. There is one new thing, though, that I implemented. I tried something new with the inhibitors, as I haven’t really been the best with making things look shiny up until I did some doodles of shade and tried with with just a pencil, and really liked the results and decided to give it a go here. It’s a step in the right direction, I think, but there’s absolutely more work that could be done to improve this skill.

Oh god that was more rambling than I thought I’d do. shit. uhhhhh if somehow you’ve spent time reading all of this thank you! thank you for listening to my wild ramblings, I uh. I like yapping about how I make things. Happy new year, and here’s to hoping next year goes well!

A Thorough Dissection of Snapcube’s “Sonic The Hedgehog (2006)” Dub and its Recurring Themes and Plots

I have organized this into two main plot threads, one recurring theme that aids both plots, and a series of noteworthy jokes and/or bits that add story cohesion to the dub as a whole. Luckily for me, Shadow T. Hedgehog himself brought about a generic theme message of the dub inside the dub itself, so that was part of my work alleviated from me. For the sake of the post being long as hell, all the information will be placed under a readmore.

STORY THREAD: THE FORTNITE GAMING SAGA

8:00 - The first mention of Fortnite. 8:13 - The introduction of alternate Battle Royales and their existence in the dub. This does not necessarily include real Battle Royales such as PUBG, instead branching off into fictional works, such as Doki Doki Literature Club Battle Royale. 8:55 is where we get the first mention of Tilted Towers. Eggman is revealed to also like Fortnite, and Rouge's username is leaked. 13:43 - It is revealed that Memphis Tennessee is also an avid Fortnite gamer, and we see his gamer pad. 14:49 - "That just makes you a beta cuck." Not FULLY related to the plot, but worth mentioning because it is gold. 16:38 - Sonic defends the integrity of the real best Battle Royale, Tetris 99. 17:28 - The future of Fortnite is revealed. 17:56 - Rouge starts her plan to create her own Battle Royale. 22:52 - The world on fire, seen in Elise’s That’s So Raven moments, is revealed to be caused by Sonic's Battle Royale soundtrack. 25:55 - Eggman sends Sonic and co. into “Fortnite Minecraft” for the PS4. This is never elaborated upon. 26:58 - Alfred somehow predicts Fallout 76 Battle Royale before it was revealed. Because he is Alfred, and that is the magic of the dubs. 27:11 - Elise's key role in the perfect Battle Royale is revealed, establishing a more solid character motive for Eggman. 29:29 - Tails discovers Rouge's Battle Royale, and Sonic inserts himself as the main character. 38:19 - Memphis shows off his new Fortnite map. 41:19 - Omega shows a distaste for Fortnite, the first character thus far to do so, and plans to stop it from being the top game of 2018. 42:02 - Shadow asks Todd Howard to publish his game, and it is revealed that Shadow was made by Todd Howard as part of a Battle Royale. 48:49 - It's revealed that the purple and yellow energies are being used to power Fortnite. 51:55 - The Duke attempts to revive Elise using the gamer gems, but the gamer piss kills her. However, she is revived shortly after. 1:00:22 - Eggman's Fortnite account is hacked, and he has a birth of cactuses out of his asshole. 1:01:33 - Memphis realizes he has more gamer potential than anticipated, and moves far beyond Fortnite, disregarding the new map he made. 1:04:53 - Fortnite is destroyed by anonymous hackers, and Eggman's social security becomes someone else's. 1:21:25 - Elise takes Sonic to see the Flame of Gamers, and they extinguish it together. 1:23:06 - Game over.

Overall conclusion of this thread: No matter how well-intentioned a conflict may be (Fortnite vs PUBG vs Tetris 99), all that a conflict can breed is hate. Casualties may arise (Elise, Eggman’s social security), and outside groups (the hackers) are bound to take advantage of conflicting parties for their own gain.

STORY THREAD: SHADOW'S MARITAL AFFAIRS

30:33 - It is revealed that Shadow and Rouge had a wedding once. 32:16 - Shadow describes this arc before it truly begins. 35:27 - The power of Za Warudo unites Shadow and Sonic in marriage, though chaos ensues at the question of who is the bride. 35:59 - Shadow reveals his love for Memphis Tennessee, and they kiss off screen. 38:24 - Shadow asks Memphis on a date. 39:21 - We see the first sign of strain in Memphis and Shadow's relationship. 40:45 - Omega confesses his feelings for Shadow. 44:42 - Shadow and Silver do A Gay Thing together. 51:12 - Shadow obtains a portable Memphis. And what do you know? The perfect shape. 56:38 - Omega gets his revenge for Memphis for stealing Shadow. 58:29 - Rouge and Omega bond over the friend zone. 1:03:40 - Memphis voices his regret over dating Shadow, and chooses to instead fuck his clones. 1:06:14 - Sonic first recognizes Silver's status as a twink. This comes into play later, when Sonic is revived. 1:13:29 - Memphis unleashes his ultimate gay power, technically making Shadow his boyfriend again. 1:18:28 - The gay gems revive Sonic, and he forms a polyamorous marriage with Silver and Shadow.

Overall conclusion: Being gay is good. Try it some time.

RECURRING THEME: WEED AND VAPING

28:32 - This is the first mention of Knuckles' desire for weed, a joke returning from the first dub. Sonic establishes himself as a weed smoker. 29:39 - Rouge reveals her weed stash to Shadow, firmly cementing that she is not a dealer. If she was, she would’ve given it to Knuckles (for a price). 31:57 - "YOU HAD THE WEED THE WHOLE TIME?!" 36:50 - A robot asks for weed. Yeah. I did notice this. 37:21 - Rouge offers Omega some weed, and once weed.exe downloads, he short circuits in a beautiful display of Alfred’s note-holding capabilities. 40:29 - Omega is revealed to have the ability to inebriate others through his presence, as shown by Memphis’s red eyes. 41:46 - Omega asks for more weed. He does not get it. 43:53 - Shadow uses weed to slow time. This is the first display of weed having supernatural abilities. 54:22 - Shadow encourages young Elise to vape, and ties the themes together into an essential message about freedom... or whatever. 57:32 - Omega once again reveals his incredible dependency on Rouge's weed. He should get his own supplier instead of leeching off Rouge. 1:10:44 - Memphis obtains the Corrupted Weed Gem and uses it to McMurder Sonic. He does it entirely by accident, though.

Thematic message: “All living things deserve freedom... Freedom to weed, to vape, to Fortnite... That’s what we’re all tying into, I think. That’s the central message.”

Other Recurring Jokes of Note: Instant Ramen: 9:35 - 9:58 - 10:12 - 36:46 - 46:15 Finding The Computer Room: 7:55 - 17:49 - 41:59 - 1:00:10 The Ice Cream Air Ship: 7:24 - 55:08 - 1:05:17 My Bed Is Made Of Scorpions: 0:31 - 1:13:50 "One": 2:57 - 7:13 - 22:44 Tell It In Excruciating Detail: 17:00 - 21:45 Amy Making Murder Threats: 24:00 - 34:12 - 1:16:16 Characters Surprised By Their Own Abilities: 5:51 - 7:21 - 1:11:27 - 1:15:40 Pumpkin Hill: 18:11 - 24:39 - 1:14:52 Omega's Counting Habits: 1:00:53 - 1:01:49 - 1:04:26

Overall, Snapcube’s dub of “Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)” delivers a message of self discovery and personal freedoms. We all have issues that might bog us down, and we may suffer from insomnia. But one thing that unites us all (other than Pumpkin Hill) is the idea of personal growth. Whether that comes through game development, an exploration of sexuality, learning that you have hands, or letting a child vape, there’s something for all of us in the Computer Room of Discovery. And once we find the computer room, we can code our future.

opinions of fandub goes to hell shadow fandub

I like that the Snapcube folks' dub humour comes from a fresh place for the most part, I love fandom jokes but some of them are just tired by this point, LOL. Mildly iffy that thousands of people now only know Shadow '05 from jokes (but, what else is new? 'hedgehog gun game', everybody.)

I don't have anything deeper, that's pretty much all of it XD just mild positive 'yeah that exists'

[thefakehedgehogaroundhere]

in the snapcube shadow 2005 dub, shadow yells that he costs 69 cents. funny as the joke is on its own, this also implies that gerald spent all the government given funds making the biolizard, realized it was a failure, scrapped it, and used his last 69 cents to build a 3'3" hedgehog (who's only 3'3" with his heels on)

[thefakehedgehogaroundhere]
