| Why I Drew This | I had a realistic Sonic redesign lying around and now that I love Castlevania so much, I saw this as a perfect opportunity |
I was absolutely sick with the idea of making Sonic realistic, so for years, on and off, I was experimenting with proportions, to try and bring Sonic into our world in a form that is possible. Later, I gave up, and settled on the idea that he doesn’t need to be redesigned – he’s a fairytale character and better stay that way… But a couple of years ago, I started having solid ideas about his realistic redesign again, focusing more on feelings and impressions the shapes of him all make together, rather than on the particular cartoon solutions to that already present, and this design was born.
Last year, however, I started playing old Castlevania games, and absolutely fell in love with them. Owing to that, the idea of putting Sonic into the world of Castlevania appeared yesterday. I figured he’ll need different clothes – suited for the time period and fashioned after something a demon would wear. Technically, Sonic is a half-demon by Castlevania logic, so nothing unusual there :3
The ring he had with him changed according to the world too. Now it’s the Angel’s Nimbus, a holy relic he can throw at black-hearted, evil-ridden enemies. Being a semi-material, semi-immaterial, the ring passes through the bodies of enemies he throws it at, causing cleansing effects! 😁
