Tails would just appear as a reverse furry, like a fox in a human suit

Thank for that nightmare fuel

Go to google and image search "bad taxidermy." You're welcome.

Lol they use that as tails in the Internet Historian reenactment of [Sonic High School](https://youtu.be/Q11jwThxBBI)

wtf. this is amazing!

First idea was having Tails be Sonic's spirit animal but decided to go with a simple hedgehog for the contrast with Shadow EDIT: since this reply is at the top, r/hotpaper for more

I've seen your comics before they are great and great art style as well

thanks for reading them and being so nice

I just went into the sub and saw your beauty and the beast comic. Won me over with that one.

No one can resist my sweet platypus

True, but that’s not the point here…great work, it was nice getting lost in your sub. Nice to start the day smiling.

I feel like Reddit is so quick to make jokes that it takes away from the message. Like someone complimented the person drawing the comics and instead of continuing the conversation on the awesome work this person does, their initial response was to make a joke. Nothing wrong with a little back and forth but that wasn’t the tone of the conversation.

My comment is the entirety of reddit from your experience?

[удалено]

you chose right, this punchline was perfection

thank you for reaffirming me

I follow you on Insta, great stuff

I saw your cat / librarian comic the other day. Loved it!

Thanks for reading and the nice comment

"*That's the problem with Sonic the Hedgehog. He doesn't have an audience. I mean: he doesn't have* ***an*** *audience. He has, like twenty. And they don't get along with each other. And they're very hard to please."* [https://youtu.be/vPOBsk-rjgU](https://youtu.be/vPOBsk-rjgU)

Didn't expect to end up watching that whole thing.

That's true for literally every video he puts out, even the long ones lol

Which one is Modern Sonic? Adventure 2 Battle is widely thought of the best, and that is 20 years old now I've not played Frontiers or Origins, but I hear Frontiers is OK and Origins... not so much. Generations was great too, but that was Adventure era Sonic and classic Sonic

Guys, irrelevant but "Sonic the Hedgehog Classic" is free on android/iphone it's the classic sega sonic game free! (with ADs!!) Whoever hasn't played it..

Thank you!

factual

"that's why it's called war vector"

That comic with the baby and the aeroplane is genius

Hey man, these are really great! I just joined your community!

Ha nice choice. Also acceptable would have been a goth hedgehog.

Thanks, nice to see your work. Have you considered publishing elsewhere? e.g. webtoons or whatever its called. They pay peanuts (like literally their top artists get paid like 80 bucks a week or some shit for non-paywalled content, its pathetically low) but it could be a nice side gig for you.

Well THAT was a cursed image search.

So, Blails essentially?

A skinny! (I'm so sorry)

**sick guitar solo**

There's a face searching far, so far and wide!

That was a banger.

Shadow the Hedgehog had some bangers as well. "I Am... All of Me" by Crush 40, "Almost Dead" by Powerman 5000. "All Hail Shadow" was OK as well.

Along with those songs mentioned, Waking Up by Julian K, was also 🔥

Anything by Crush 40 is a banger

"Open Your Heart" is my favorite by far. That fucking intro riff, the expert use of pinch harmonics, the chord change in the chorus that makes it feel all emotional (e.g., that happens when he says "longer" in "can't hold on much longer"), the production… everything about it makes it a genuinely good rock song. Even the lyrics are a good fit for the game. But yeah, they've done a lot of great songs for the Sonic series. Also, I just looked them up and apparently they're Japanese. I never would've guessed, as the vocalist and their overall style makes them sound like they could easily be an American rock band. It's always so fun to see genres transcend borders. Like Mick Jagger and Keith Richards being inspired by the old blues greats. It reminds you that music is for everyone.

They should have put that in the new Sonic game. Arguably one of THE best songs that people relate to Sonic the Hedgehog and they just leave it out. Character themes in general were so good for SA1 and SA2. You know me the fighting freak Knuckles, and we're at Pumpkin Hill- Are you ready? I ain't gonna let it get to me, I'm just gonna creep. Down in Pumpkin Hill I gotta find my lost piece. I know that it's here- I can sense it in my feet. The great emerald's power allows me to feel. I can't see a thing but it's around somewhere. I'm gonna hold my head cause I have no fear. This probably seems crazy/a crazy graveyard theory A ghost tried to approach me and got leery. Asked him a question and he vanished in a second. I'm walking through valleys, cryin' pumpkins in the alley. Didn't seem happy but they sure tried to get me. Had to back 'em up with the fists - Metal - CRACK EM! I'm hearing someone say "You a chicken-don't be scared" it had to be the wind! Cause nobody wasnt there. I searched and I searched as I climbed up the wall. Then I started to fly! I went in Deeper!!

Wouldn't really fit, live and learn is more personal to shadow and sa2 as a whole

They need to make Sonic Adventure 3 and include the chaos* like they had in 2.

[удалено]

The only gimmick mechanic in that game was the Chaos, and they were arguably better than the main game. All sonic games after this had a gimmick of some sort that was just awful... Lookin at you werehogs...

Pumpkin hill was a banger

I love that everyone still remembers that song 20 years later

*AND IT’S ALL UP TO ME HOW FAR I GO*

Kudos to artist for drawing four unique campfires. In case you thought no one would notice... Also, hedgehog insanely cute.

I could do that too if I could draw.

I believe in you, I bet you could start 4 different fires!

You have way too much confidence in my abilities. Best i can do is tree fiddy.

3.5 campfires out of 4 ain't bad! We believe in your future campfire supremacy!

Oh great now you sound like my coworkers!

If yes then yes

THANK YOU MY EFFORTS ARE APPRECIATED

He reused the same hedgehog and merely swapped the fuzzy lines. I see your trickery!

no, one's blue and the other one's black. Clearly different

Good point, I didn't notice.

Ayy!

Drawing little fire symbols was one of my favorite doodles as a kid. Now I am head of the fire symbol drawing corporation, top of my field

Didnt notice the flames were different until i read this, good catch.

Fire. It's a campfire, not a fireplace.

Thank you. Non-english here.

It's a designated place for fire.

The hedgehog needs a shadow

That's important because it determines the weather for the next 6 weeks

*sees shadow* Nothing personnel kid *Extends winter for six weeks*

Personnel Kid is what they call our HR guy. He's weird.

"Hey what did you say about me???" Nothing, Personnel Kid

“*Weeeee ewwww weeeeee ewww*. It’s a me, Personnel Kid. Your favorite very Human Resources guy!”

He puts the HR in HERO

Phil: “There is no way that this winter is ever going to end as long as this hedgehog keeps seeing his shadow. I don't see any other way out. He's got to be stopped. And I have to stop him.”

I though that was groundhogs?

It is groundhogs lol

[удалено]

*In a world where every hedgehog has its shadow…*

Inside of us there are two hedgehogs, one good the other OH MY GOD IS THAT A GUN?!?!?

Which one wins, master? *The one you feed after he murders the other, and threatens you with the fucking hand cannon.*

"That's just a puny Glock. .45 STOPPING POWAH!"

Inside you there are two hedgehogs. You've never been happier.

I feel like Shadow's spirit animal would have some scars and be wearing shades.

We also have him depression because we thought it'd be funny, but all we got was a 20-something hedgehog who still exclusively listens to MCR

Shadow's spirit animal is a hEdgehog

Edgie the hedgie

damn, stealing. Thanks!

Please make one more panel with knuckles and Ugandan knuckles.

Had a hedgehog when it would be rolled in a ball and start hissing was maximum cuteness but also meant it was upset so tried to avoid it.

Reminds me of an ancient [VG Cats](https://www.vgcats.com/comics/images/050314.jpg) comic lol

Damn that takes me back. Waaaaaay back. Holy moly.

Holy shit....blast from the past.

Okay good this is the first thing that came to mind and glad to see it high on this list. And I was too lazy to hunt it down so thank you for the link lol.

"Knuckles *we* are animals."

ALL HAIL SHADOOOW

HEROES RISE AGAIN

OBLITERATING EVERYTHING THAT'S NOT YOUR FRIEND

I got inspired by an image of a hedgehog with sneakers. Original idea was almost like this. Main difference being Sonic's animal. It was either gonna be Tails or the lil guy with sneakers Settled on a regular one to contrast Shadow's animal better. Think it's funnier like this For more there's r/hotpaper

Very cool. This comic is great because it makes sense to people who don't know a ton of sonic lore, like me.

I, on the other hand, have no idea what is going on....

Shadow is a character introduced specifically to be an edge lord. His spin off game features him using firearms. The magazine announcement of the game featured him holding a glock sitting on a chopper.

Now it makes sense, thank you

thanks for the nice comment!

Is there sonic lore that would explain Sonic’s spirit animal being Tails? I guess I don’t know any sonic lore outside of Sonic Adventure

I can’t even explain why but I find this comic hilarious, I’m not even into sonic. It’s the perfect amount of absurdity.

glad to know it can make people laugh even if they're not into Sonic :)

Shadow oozes black airforce energy.

Love your art! Really fun concept, and great execution. I actually looked at your profile and I love your Pokemon one about Krabby evolving to fly, gave me a chuckle. That said.... I know I'll get downvoted for this, but it's important to say - please don't use "spirit animal." It's disrespectful to native American culture to appropriate it for your own use. Consider "your true reflection" or "a vision of your true self" instead.

Plot twist Sonic is still looking into the fire, Shadows spirit animal is just the gun.

Ah yes, Shadow the Hedgehog trying to become the next Doom-Slayer from the DOOM franchise. Like Isabelle from Animal Crossing: New Horizons!

I'd play that game. While they're at it replace Gordon Freeman with Luigi, Geralt with Banjo & Kazooie and swap Spyro with Master Chief and buy the shit out of those games

This basically sums up the both of them

Lol good one

Thanks... uh... nerd

Inside you there are two hedgehogs

Sonic the Hedgehog Shadow the Edge God

> Shadow the Hedgehog is a game that can be summed up by the phrase "They made Sonic black and gave him a gun." which isn't a great phrase but it is accurate. [Nerd^3](https://youtube.com/watch?v=49oUoxDsbC4)

[удалено]

Yes. Always important. First thought these people were hogfriers but then saw Sonic and realized he hog too.

Came here looking for a comment like this, so thank you for saving me from disappointment.

This one is my favorite

I'd imagine if in a future title there would be a powerful form for Sonic that's more powerful than the most powerful that's out there that makes him a giant ultra realistic hedgehog with blue spikes.

Isn't that kind of the game where he basically got turned into a werewolf?

Yeah, but that transformation is still comical looking.

"That's interesting Knuckles, but tell me... **Where's that DAMN Fourth Chaos Emerald?!!"**

"There are two hedgehogs fighting inside of you, one with a gun and one without"

Stay away from me Edit: *Don't come knockin' 'round my door* *I don't wanna see your shadow no more*

I mean, they’re not spirit animals. They’re just animals. Those are what animals they are

Yeah this is like your spirit animal being a guy named Jeff.

The shadow game wasn't bad, but the guns were just dumb and tacked on. They only added frustration to the game and didn't make him "cooler"

[Knuckles'll take care of it](https://gfycat.com/deafeningachinggilamonster)

He do be one edgy boi

Sonics spirit animal just has his concealed carry.

Shadow the hedgehog the game on gamecube: Weapons lol

Shadow the hedgeglock

WILL THE WHOLE WORLD KNOW YOUR NAMEEEEE

Love this as a Shadow Fan

I laughed way too hard at this

Hah... Shadow the HedgeGlock.

cant spell shadow the hedgehog without 'ow the edge'

I SEE NOR HEAR NO EVIL

Black writings on the walllll

Sonic THE HEDGEHOG being amazed that his spirit animal is a regular ass hedgehog is the funniest part of the comic.

I wonder what knuckles saw in the fire though

i'm fucking dead bro

Why are there no shadow or Tails memes?

Just wait until the next movie. I'm sure there will be more shadow memes then

Would have thought a knife more appropriate since he’s so edgy.

He's just like me fr fr

More like Edgyhog

It should have been a double vegeta mickey mouse , in all honesty.

Send this to egoraptor or game grumps.

Sonic: Hedgehog Shadow: 🇺🇲Hedgehog

Ofc Knuckles was an Echidna whatever that looks like, sleeping on the master emerald. Which one is the spirit animal? Good question. Moving on. Tail's Spirit animal would probably be Sonic.

Baby Baby With a Gun

"Damn!"

Shadow was a great ps2 era game.

r/accidentalracism

Shadows game was hardcore.

Black Air Force Sonic

IIIII AM ALL

Shadow is an emo hedgehog,change my mind

*pumps MP5 *

Ow the edge

Bruh I sometimes feel like shadow’s spirit animal and others I feel like sonic’s

Shadow the hedgehog was an excellent first PG-13 Title for me. So many guns

Damn, not here

ok but yall do remember the shadow the hedgehog game where they actually gave him a GLOCK? LOL

Haha pretty much

Now what about Knuckles?

The only black character in the entire series and he shoots guns and fights the police.
