Hello There! I go by "Inky". This is where I post art and talk about all things Sonic. Thanks for stopping by!

Shadow the Hedgehog turnaround and Proportions! Making these for myself so I can save time drawing him later.

(Feel free to use as reference and make adjustments to these to fit your style!)

#my art#for whatever reason I like making reference sheets#again very SA2 based on the style and look because I love that style for the modern cast#I think if or when I make a master post of my reference sheets for Shadow I’ll break down some of why I love his SA2 design#as well as conscious decisions I made putting them together in understanding Shadow#sth#shadow the hedgehog#sonic the hedgehog#reference sheet

One of several Shadow studies/model sheets I’m making for myself. This take is modeled off of Yuji Uekawa's artwork of the sonic gang during Sonic Adventure 2, though of course with some touches of my own in trying to understand the character.

Feel free to use for reference material, and make tweaks to adjust to your style!

#my art#traditional art#many great styles and takes on these characters#but Uekawa’s Adventure takes on the characters have my heart#it leans a little more into that rubber hose type approach to the posing and limbs that I love#there’s certainly more model/reference sheets on the way particularly for quill position and movement#is it a bit much making a bunch of model sheets and turns for the sonic characters? maybe.#but boy does it make it easier to draw them and not having to dig for the perfect reference later#sonic the hedgehog#shadow the hedgehog#sth#model sheet#sonic adventure 2

Putting my rendering skills to the test with this one after all the art studies I’ve been doing. Happy belated birthday to Mephiles!

(And special thanks to my best pal @lillycosidae for helping me get the details of Mephiles’ design down!)

#my art#doing this honestly made me really appreciate Mephiles’ design#I’m afraid I accidentally raised the standard for myself in rendering from now on haha#sonic the hedgehog#mephiles the dark#sonic 06
