An early piece for the Sonic Garden, organized by @shadowxamyweek! Two of my favorite things in life are Sonic the Hedgehog and plants, so how could I resist?

I just got back from a trip to the States, and it's no surprise my main source of inspiration here was the South West <3 Read more about the plants under the cut > >

The cactus is called Opuntia, commonly known as "Prickly Pear". While they do bloom, I don't know if they bloom like this. I just really wanted to draw pretty orange flowers XD Not only do they bloom, they bear fruits! The one in the background is a Saguaro cactus. Some of them grow pretty tall. They really give you that classic desert feeling. Love it!

Here’s my second piece for Sonic Garden @shadowxamyweek! Yes, I did two because why not?

Decided to step out of my comfort zone by drawing a Sonic character I don’t normally draw, as well as picking a flower many may not know a whole lot of information about. So, I figured who better to draw than Rouge with a hibiscus tucked behind her ear? A decision I’m glad I made because I absolutely enjoyed creating this and love the final product!

I’ll also quickly dive behind the scenes and say I wanted this to have a video game-esque feel. Hence the character window, dialogue box and selection arrow that are often seen and used in games. I even made Rouge’s hand, wings, ears and a bit of the hibiscus poke out and onto different areas to help give the artwork a sense of depth.

I’d also pick either SA2B’s or Sonic Prime’s VA to voice Rouge, if this was part of an actual STH game.

*Ayurveda is a system of traditional medicine native to India. The hibiscus flower is used in Ayurveda to help promote healthy hair growth.

I always kinda thought Chip looked a little like a chao... then this comic happened! (Not a reincarnation situation or anything, just a chao that looks like Chip in the same way that some chao can look like Sonic, Knuckles, Amy etc.)

Probably brings back some memories for Sonic!

Could this be what Chao truly look like?

Here’s my short written piece for Sonic Garden @shadowxamyweek!

Shadow, Amy and mint.

Did you know Mentha is the scientific name for mint? Native to Australia, North America, Southern Africa and Eurasia. Mint has even naturalized in many places and is widely distributed throughout temperate areas of the world.

Mint also contains vitamin A and C, manganese, calcium, folate and iron. Hence why Amy brings her personal mint tea recipe, when knowing she’ll be away from home for a while. Plus her and Shadow often enjoy a cup of mint tea together while continuing to learn about mints many nutrients and health benefits.

Fun fact: One way to identify a mint plant is by their square stems and aromatic leaves - that are a dark green color, small and pointed with slightly notched margins.

*-*-*-*

Side note: This was originally going to be either Shadow or Amy with the mint plant. But that all changed when learning about what nutrients and health benefits mint has. So, I figured why not have both? That way it’ll make a more interesting concept instead of having one or the other.
