Valhalla Surge turnaround and refererence! (as usual, click for better quality)

Biker (Riders) Surge from SFSB turnaround and reference :] (as usual, click for better quality)

[ID: a panel redraw from sonic IDW issue 53, showing surge taking the pink wisp from whisper. The lighting is intense and gritty, very dark aside from the power sparking around surge's shoe and enveloping her leg, and the electricity from the dynamo cage. Both surge and whisper are drawn with more animal features: notably longer snouts and different ears. The background is a dark green with dark lines. The colors throughout are grimy with a slight chromatic aberration. End ID]

A collage piece that took me MONTHS to finish!

Surge means SO much to me its hard to really explain! She's one of my favorite characters in not just Sonic but fiction alone! She's so complex and well written! She deserves so much love!

Her story is so captivating in a way I don't see often, especially in sonic! She longs to break her programing, and yet, unconsciously, she still always falls into it. She's such an amazing representation of trauma and how hard it is to grow and move on from it. There's no way she can completely forget about her trauma. The best she can do is try to learn and grow, in an effort to be her true and authentic self. Not the self she was before, as thats impossible, but the NEW her. The new HEALTHY her. She can't go back to who she was, but the her she is now will only bring her more pain. She must consciously become her new self. She has to work for happiness, and its a hard endeavor that comes with a lot of very hard to swallow truth pills. She must abandon everything she knows and relearn everything in her life if she truly wants to live for herself and herself alone.

If yall cant tell ive got a lot of big feeling about her

I'd love for yall to see all the closeups under the cut to really appreciate all the tiny details!

I feel like I learned a lot with artfight but at the same time nothing cause I keep changing the effects I use for the shadows every single time LMAO- 😭

I missed my AU so I drew Kit to use as my pfp. Idk if I'm fully satisfied with how it turned out tho, but let's hope I don't get tired of it too quickly haha...
