#alien shadow

like.

mostly because in my mind, the black arms are invasive, and maybe when he was younger and more ‘fresh out of the tube’, he didnt actually have that much black arms dna, just enough to make sure he was decently stable, but over time that dna started taking over more and more of his body, and so it got harder and harder to actually function, because the black arms dna wasnt just spreading, it was taking over the rest of his dna, breaking it down so it could fit there, but since thats. yaknow. his dna. it fucked him up, which could also be part of the reason he needs his mobility aids, the aid shoes and inhibitor rings

The first one was a study to replicate certain stylization choices and coloring methods I enjoyed from IDW while organically meshing it with my own style

I think it turned out pretty well for what I was attempting

Second is the werehog because unleashed was my first Sonic game (technically 2nd), and I love the werehog

Third is Shadow (alien edition). I wanted to incorporate some bug-like features with Shadow, due to the hierarchical structure of the Black Arms- and because the carapace-like structure I drew on his quills was extremely fun to color

And the fourth was my first time attempting to draw Surge just today- trying to get a feel for how to best draw her because she’s very quickly becoming a favorite of mine

Buncha doodles of the girlies + Alien!Shadow ✨

Reading Surge's lore reminded me of a certain someone.........and I been watching Lythero playing through Sonic 06 and cannot unsee smoker Rouge so have it IUDNIJASKDMSD

And yes Shadows alien for was based on Eclipse-
