#shadow vessel

hi did you miss me

The Shadow vessel, Valerie (Val for short) was a nurse who had been pulled into Machina's realm while reading the IDW comics as she enjoyed the Sonic series for a quite a few years

Shadow Vessel Concept “Haven”

During that time I did manage to get some doodles out, one being a slight tweak to Machina.EX design. They still can hide the mouth and eyes but I really enjoy the idea of them having a visible face at times

Sonic vessel is from unleashed and the shadow vessel is from shadow the hedgehog game and he switches between that and shadow generations.

The shadow vessel has chronic pain and is first stuck in the janky engine of the 2005 game he's being pursued by a beast that wishes for it's torture. It arrived in 2026 via the cartridge as he was in the hospital and its parents were working day and night to fight against medical debt due to another Illness.

The sonic vessel is the oldest having been thrown in this purgatory in 2020 via a library rental of the game that contained a pitch black disc, entering it in the Wii it was normal untill it just made the crash sound he got up to check and that's how the beast got him. The sonic vessel had ADHD and can now run freely while being the main character.

Eggman vessel is present too but I need to draw him more all I can say is that it's actually a related parent of the shadow vessel and he hates him. He's stuck fighting sonic and the beast.

Finally it is unclear if Omega or rouge are vessels in shadow 2005 rouge is likely one.

The beast: it is something that cannot be reasoned with trapped in a sketchy 2005 game cartridge it was able to slowly progress from the old to the new passing by unleashed and finishing its course in shadow generations in the hub. It is in conflict with the black arms and every other NPCs. It has been fixated on defeating the Sonic vessel for six years by now and failed to do so because it's not a typical exe It doesn't know how to change code it can change and cheat but doesn't understand how to replicate or just have a better control over its world it's biggest achievement was stripping sonic of its werhog form but it didn't help it win totally.

It's sadistic in nature tending to want to torture and elongate the pain as much as it can.

(It's very messy and scattered I'll fix it up if I'm ever doing the beast)

Death counter

-bonus part-

The Angel: it is unclear if it is a vessel or not, it took the appearance of Tails from unleashed and a more smaller and fluffier version when in shadow 2005 it's fur is white with black for the normally white fur at the end and gold tips to finish the tails.

It's eyes are hollow dark balls and he's very kind and fluffy in his angel form. He can also just appear as the regular tails it switches at will.

It's shoes have green instead of red. And the white part is a bit more dark. He also sports thick cuffs and longer socks with a small pattern on them.

He helps the shadow vessel and tries to help the two of them to keep going, for example he'd transport shadow if his pain is flaring up during a chase

That's all for now I hope y'all liked it.
