A friend of mine designed their OC for the Afterriders AU by @bulletstations.bsky.social so I thought I'd do that too for one of my OCs.

I felt like drawing Amy Rose and getting on that Green Amy trend though it's probably passed now 💀.

I also wanna practice this texturing thing I've been trying out so...

#amyrose #sonicthehedgehog #sonicart #sonic #art #digitalart
The drawing of Amy Rose. Some minor design tweaks were made, like the addition of a fang and the tip at the end of her hammer's handle. She's holding her Piko Piko Hammer over her shoulder. A rose background is added because transparency doesn't exist. The same image but edited to be green. Red and pink do not exist anymore.

In light of the results of Sonic Rumble's Community Skin design contest, I decided to make a model of the Hero Chao Amy designed by my friend @monoex.bsky.social! Not to be biased, but this was my favorite design. ;)

#sonicthehedgehog #amyrose #chao #sonicrumble #3dart #3d
The render! It has been edited to account for Bluesky's lack of transparency support. The model in-game. The in-game version has been edited from the render model. The frills and wings have been changed to be opaque models to accommodate for the game's bugged transparency system.

There's also unused idle chatter that seems to be for Missions 2 and 4 going off of the dialogue. Unlike the Chao World ones, there's no point where they are referenced in the code as far as I know.

SA2 has plenty of unused voicelines. Here, there's some idle chatted for Chao World that never plays because the game doesn't play idle chatter if you're in Chao World.

Another mod I'm working on extends character voice functionality, and so far I've put the most into Kart Racing. I've even added some compatibility for the Opa Opa DLC Kart. Any issues since this video was recorded has since been fixed.

I've been working on some cool stuff after Mars Cup at SHC2025.

A new mod I'm working on aims to polish up the Kart Racing game mode with some added features like more sounds for the CPUs and wheel turning.

A BRAND NEW (?!?!?!) 3D model for my OC Max Fetcha. The textures for the clothing will need some work but that's the beauty of learning new stuff!!

He may be coming to CrossWorlds as a mod soon (if I can get the hang of modding Unreal)

#sonicthehedgehog #sonicfanart #sonicoc #3D #blender
The new Max Fetcha model. I used the Forces Avatar parts as a base and worked my way from there to make it more accurate.

New machine! It's a Giganto Liner themed after Supreme.
I'm honestly really proud of this one and it was a great way to use up that wasted custom slot!

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is very, very fun and I really love it! Though I have been struggling with finishing an online match without disconnecting but I digress.

I've created some of my own machines thanks to the very rich customization.

#sonicthehedgehog #sonicracingcrossworlds
The Cyclone Chaser. A Cyber Sport styled after the Tornado III/Cyclone from Sonic Adventure 2. The Heart Speedster (I didn't have a good name for this lol). A Speedster Chaser styled after Amy. I've placed various Amy decals on it. The Sonic Formula. A Dark Blade based off of Sonic's EX Kart from Sonic Adventure 2 Battle. (I will experiment with using other parts to make it more accurate if I get them) The Shadow Scorcher. A Mirage Blade based on Shadow's EX Kart from Sonic Adventure 2 Battle. (I will experiment with using other parts to make it more accurate if I get them)

I am quite insane so I modelled @monoex.bsky.social's OC Vendetta into Sonic Adventure 2 and Shadow the Hedgehog.

#sonicthehedgehog #sonicoc #sa2 #shadow #sonicmodding
Vendetta the Vandal in Sonic Adventure 2's Radical Highway. Vendetta the Vandal in Shadow the Hedgehog's Mad Matrix.

Oh! By the way, I participated in Art Fight this year. I should really post about my other interests more.
This is one attack I did of @skaerial.bsky.social's Keira. I really like their design and I think the scythe is really cool!

#sonicoc #artfight #artfight2025 #art
skaerial's Keira. I went for a more active pose and a view from behind instead of a basic standing pose. I am aware that her scythe is supposed to be bigger than her but I don't know if I could fit that on paper. The attack has been edited from its original transparent version to have a colored background.

Some screenshots from my cutscene mod for SA2, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle: Director's Cut. If I haven't brought it up yet, the mod aims to fix the Gamecube cutscenes by "finishing" them to the best of my ability.
#sonic #sonicadventure2 #gamemodding
An in-dev screenshot of E0002 for SA2BDC. Modifier volumes have been added. A somewhat outdated in-dev screenshot of E0128 for SA2BDC. An in-dev screenshot of E0204 for SA2BDC. Thanks to Render Fix's completely rewritten event system, the Research Lab's reflections show back up. An in-dev screenshot of E0006 for SA2BDC. Due to Render Fix's Dreamcast Event ports and those events' textures being arranged differently, all the textures for this cutscene are wrong.

A snippet of the post above. It's highlighting the word "it's," which was meant to be "its."

I'd also like to wish a happy anniversary to Sonic Adventure 2 (well, technically it's Dreamcast version). I love this game to pieces and I'm happy that it even came out. This game along with other Sonic games have shaped who I am today and is incredibly also incredibly important for the franchise.

Did you know? The Hard Mode version of Meteor Herd (every version) contains an enemy not seen anywhere else in the game. This is the GUN Phoenix! It's a red and faster version of the GUN Hornet-3 enemy. There's also an unused Phoenix-6 variant!
#sonicthehedgehog | #sa2 | #knuckles | #sonicadventure2
A screenshot of a GUN Phoenix arming its bombs to throw at Knuckles. Two GUN Phoenixes. The model on the left, a Phoenix-3. The model on the right, a Phoenix-6. The Phoenix-6 goes unused as the only two Phoenixes are Phoenix-3's.

Peculiar stuff.
#sonicthehedgehog #sa2modding #sa2
A scene of Shadow standing on a ramp in Radical Highway. The light strips have been removed. The displayer function for this object uses a drawing function I personally labeled 𝚐𝚓𝚄𝚅𝚂𝚌𝚛𝚘𝚕𝚕𝙼𝚘𝚍𝚎𝚕, which I believe draws an object with the UVs scrolled by an input argument, to display the scrolling lights on the ramp. I nulled the function call for that, causing the lights to disappear. Sonic looking at a dash ramp that is missing the moving arrows. The displayer function for this object uses a function I labeled 𝚗𝚓𝙲𝚗𝚔𝚄𝚅𝚂𝚌𝚛𝚘𝚕𝚕𝙼𝚘𝚍𝚎𝚕, which appears to just take a model and scroll its UVs, followed by a call to draw the model itself. Nulling the first function causes the arrows to stop scrolling, and nulling the second causes the model to not draw. Sonic looking at a group of dash panels but they're just the moving panel and lack the shell. The main function for the dash panel object has a weird check for if a variable has a value and chooses one of two displayer functions depending on it. I set that variable to have a value, which caused them to use the other displayer.

Sketches of two of my OCs.
On the left is Alexei, who I will share more info on in the future.
On the right is Max, my main OC.

Oh, and I can draw stuff too.

Physical sketch of Alexei. The character is a husky. Physical sketch of Max Fetchā. Certain areas that weren't fully erased were edited over.

Let's do this.

#sonicmodding #sa2 #sonicthehedgehog
This is the default Gamecube Sonic model with Render Fix's modifier volumes. This is an edited version of Sonic's Gamecube model that's meant to address some critiques and feedback from certain users and bring the model closer to its DC form without taking too much away from the GC model. HE'S SO AWESOME I LOVE RACESUIT SONIC SM The UVs on this were a pain. :(

That was kinda uncool of Orbot, I'm not going to lie.

#sonicthehedgehog #meme #3dart
A recreation of the Undertaker behind AJ Styles meme with Tails replacing AJ Styles and Orbot replacing the Undertaker. A caption next to Tails reads "Tails, excited to meet Professor Victoria." A caption above Orbot reads "Orbot, petty about being hung up on at New Years." The same meme except with no captions. Use this if you want to make memes.
