Sonic X Shadow Dark Beginnings - Blog Posts

✨Sonic X Shadow Generations is out!

So I drew Shadow with his Doom Wings in whitespace! :D

I mean “Which’s better is Maria’s colors?” Sorry guys. My mistake. Ignore this 👇🏼👇🏼👇🏼, please.

You choose your opinion and tell me why. I like to hear.

Cooking up an animation, hopefully will finish it today or tomorrow

I did a redraw of this in my style

sonadow but with terios.. runs away

he’s absolutely FIENDING to re-experience his life trauma

HOW HAS THE SONG DYING STAR NOT BEEN USED FOR SHADOW ANGST YET?

Idk if Shadow fans just don’t know Ashnikko but I have not seen anyone use this song and it’s ABSURD how well so many aspects of this song work for him.

Examples:

“The ground reaches out to catch me

Softly in her baseball mitt

I'm tired of the dirt and grit

I want something soft”

“So I give in to the fall, fall, fall

I need somethin' soft, down feathers over rocks

I died and I land with both of my hands

In the mud, the mud

It felt like a god, how she held me

I slept on her shoulder, I gave her my all (Is there anyone?)

I bathed in her waterfalls

And continued to fall, fall (I'm entering the exosphere)”

“Burnin' like a dyin' star

Invasive weeds rooted in my heart

Set in a crooked trajectory

The journey here was hard

I was almost pulled apart

Tryna leave this orbit, took what's left of me”

LIKE DO YOU SEE THE VISION? I CAN’T EDIT FOR CRAP PLEASE EDITORS DO YOUR THING

I got the Kirk Thornton to sign my Dark Beginnings painting today! He put this cute thing on the back too 🥹 he was so nice and I’m so happy I got to meet him. Sonic Expo is great so far!

Finally finished my Dark Beginnings painting!!!

This took me way too long to finish and it’s not perfect but I’m overall really proud of it!!! I’m taking it to SonicExpo for Kirk to sign hehehe

Wish me luck carrying it around the con all day 😅

Sorry but I have to rant about this here bc SHE WAS DEF REFERRING TO SONIC AND I STAND BY THAT.

Abe of course thought of Maria, because he knew Maria and yes, at the time, Maria was the only one to get through to Shadow.

But Rouge didn’t know Maria. She may have heard stories, but she doesn’t know her. She never saw their interactions. So why would she reference Maria like that? It doesn’t make sense. It instead makes for sense for her to be referencing Sonic, the one person she’s actually seen get to Shadow.

It is canon and has been said that Sonic is the only one whose words can reach Shadow’s heart. We’ve literally seen Sonic get Shadow to stand down (e.g. IDW comics issue 6)

Also the way Rouge smiled, I don’t think she’d smile like that if she were referring to Maria. Everything just points to her referring to Sonic.

This only adds to the parallels between Sonic and Maria. Two generations, one who knew Shadow on the Ark and someone who works with him now, both having that one person in their head who can get to Shadow. I think it’s actually perfect that they added that comment Abe made about Maria, just driving home the point that Maria and Sonic have parallels in regard to Shadow.

Anyways thank you for listening to my insane rambles :)
