my full comic from @neverturnbackzine

my core pitch for the zine was a comic focusing on shadow's uncertain identity and the power of suggestion.

"If he says he knows the truth about who I am...then like it or not, I have to believe him."

with this comic i wanted to explore how the semi-dark route feels like a storyline where shadow gets manipulated by black doom (of course, the pure dark route also carries this feeling, but semi-dark feels a bit heavier to me personally). he's fed just enough information to keep him following along and open up his mind to black doom's ideals, but he still retains the ability to question things... until he doesn't.

"That's right. This will remind you what the humans did to you. Never forget that horrifying image!"

in the end, shadow's story ends the way black doom wants it to.

--

the majority of the dialogue in my comic is comprised of quotes from the game (cutscenes & level dialogue) either directly or altered. it's been a few months so i wasn't able to track down all of them again (most are general sentiments across multiple routes anyway), but here are a few i could find in order of appearance in the comic. used or altered lines are in bold:

Page 1

SHADOW: Who are you? BLACK DOOM: You don't remember anything, do you? But you will... In time. But now, there's no time to waste here.

Page 2

SHADOW: ("Shadow the Hedgehog"... Why does that name haunt me? It's the only thing I can remember. And that gruesome image...)

Page 3

BLACK DOOM: Those vile soldiers are still defiling our precious home.

BLACK DOOM: What a pathetic sight. Shadow, follow them. Make sure they understand their situation.

MARIA: Don't worry, Grandfather. Shadow and I will protect this planet. Right, Shadow?

Page 4

SHADOW: ("Shadow the Hedgehog"... Why does that name haunt me? It's the only thing I can remember. And that gruesome image...)

--

there's one line of level dialogue i wrote down that i originally wanted to open the comic with if i had been assigned to the Neutral route. it's "Are you awake, Shadow?". i don't know why it stuck in my head so badly. there's just something so... heavy about it. Black Doom's level dialogue in Glyphic Canyon was the main influence for the tone of my comic. once i started paying really close attention to what BD was saying, i couldn't un-hear the ill intent i got out of it.

fanart of the best thing i've ever drawn circa the 2010s

#original #2023 #sonic oc #ocs #sonic #since redesigning flare and giving him a different backstory/characterization (i assume. he barely had one outside of being a shadow clone) #i'm not really sure if he would ever have any reason to interact with shadow anymore let alone fight him #but this one goes out to my 12 year old self that wanted their oc to get absolutely destroyed by shadow the hedgehog #fanart

i streamed TMOSTH recently and drew my sonic sona in the character sprite style for fun. it's not the most accurate but i think i did alright

i avoided as much as i could about TMOSTH until i could stream it cuz i knew i'd have a blast, so i didn't know everyone was cosplaying for their game roles... i thought those were just the nicest clothes they all had LMAO so my sona is just in a real outfit i have and wear when i need to look nice (minus the shoes. i don't have cool shoes 😔)

+ sketches and style notes

+ a dead sonic i drew during the stream

A 5 panel comic featuring Sonic the Hedgehog and Shadow the Hedgehog. The comic has an overall blue-green hue.

Panel 1: Sonic, looking scuffed up, winks and salutes while saying "Not the assist I was expecting, but thanks Shadow!"

Panel 2: Shadow looks downwards.

Panel 3: A closeup of Sonic's hands. He's cradling one hand, unable to extend two of his fingers. Sonic says: "Cutting it close though. Heheh."

Panel 4: Shadow looks to the side, crossing his arms. Shadow says: "...You can't afford to get sloppy, hedgehog."

Panel 5: A faraway shot of Sonic and Shadow standing in front of a large busted Roller Badnik.

Sonic is still cradling his hand and says, "...You keep showing up lately. It almost makes me think you're worried about me!"

Shadow turns to walk away, saying "You're fine, so I'm leaving."

Aside dialogue reads: Shadow, "Ice that later." Sonic, "Pft."
