hell yea knucklehead

This one is inspired by the song "Lesnik" ("The Forester") made by Korol i Shut ("King and Jester", Russian punk band and every other song mentioned lower will be made by them, I'm not really a fan but they have cool songs). The image literally appeared in my head while my mom was driving me to the college and were were listening to music in the car. In short: "Lesnik" is about a lost guy finding forester's hut in the middle of a forest. The old man let him in, fed him, told him stories, until he heard howling, ran away suddenly and then returned with a rifle to feed the guy to the wolfs. Not sure on how to tie it to Sonic or Sonic.exe, but I'll think about it. (I also want to make a more beast-like form for him, like a huge wolf-escue or sumthn)

I guess Kukla Kolduna (Sorcerer's Puppet) would've fit better because it's literally about a girl being possessed by a sorcerer, but idc, I'm more into forest hunter vibes

I thought about making him a .mp3 file until I remembered a virus scheme that involved .apk files that is mostly used in Telegram and it takes away your account (they are also dangerous even in general, so the vessels could get into the game by downloading songs from not so trustworthy sources)

About vessels: As you can see I also already chose a song for Tails' vessel with it being Durak i Molniya/The Fool and the Lightning (I thought about song being given to a character with reasoning of it being either their favorite song or the one they've downloaded which doesn't really sounds logical since Lesnik is the only .apk file), but I'm still choosing for everyone else like Knuckles (the possible option for him is Proklyatyj staryj dom/Cursed old house) and Amy (for her it's most likely Vedma i Osyol/The Witch and the Donkey). I guess I'll make some digital concepts for them later and think how to tie Sonic and all these horror punk songs together (Or I'll leave them like that cuz who said that I can't)

I was mid drawing process pf drawing adult Knux and for a second I genuinely thought that Knuckles' boots were some kind of sandals that his ancestors wore and the red detailing is actually his feet considering that in SA/SA2 era of Uekawa style their feet were drawn like simple blobs but I quicky calmed down myself when I saw his model and first concept art on his wiki page
... But you know what
I like the idea of sandals
I'm gonna use it yay

I made those literally while chatting with bots on c.ai but ehh at least now my thoughts are more consistent
(please still consider that it's just my hc you can use them or not and I don't mind if other creators put golden rings on Knux or other echidna characters/OCs as a simple jewelry because it's none of my business and still looks badass :3)

Context: In my Tomodachi playthrough Knuckles and Sonic got in love with each other and then got married (I was playing less than a week for god's sake) and Knux commented on my post (screenshot cut in the second frame) and I decided to made a little giggle
(also I'd like to see your reaction to sonknux or whatever ship I'll draw in future)

Wolf OC with a coat on the first three frames, Shalfey's old friend and former teammate at the A.E.T.H.E.R. research team - Veyra the Wolf - by u/Responsible_Pass_861

Other characters (Shalfey the Hedgehog and bird/owl guy with ski goggles and scarf - Hover) by me
A little funni thing I wanted to draw a while ago. Me and my friend kinda decided that Veyra will find Shalfey eventually when that guy lives deep in the forest and built that thing out of scraps that Hover brought because grief хд
It's not working and uhh, more like to show how traumatized Shalfey is. Not sure if that robot will be reworked and used, probably not??

Downloaded Tomodachi yesterday and having a shit ton of fun

Of course made Knuckles first simply because why not

Still not sure who I want to ship him with (I'll make more Miis in the future so I'll have options) and genuinely planning to make some Miis fall in love with Knuckles and fight for him

Stay tuned with my remake of love island or whatever it was called

I love him so much Shalfey is my baby boy
I'll probably tell more about his lore in the later posts, including A.E.T.H.E.R. research team (Made together with my friend u/Responsible_Pass_861 since the team was his idea and it has a major part in his own OCs lore) and maybe my other OC that lives in the IceCap with Shalfey (he's a silly birb doing biathlon, that's all you need to know yet)
