All Will Be Revealed - Tumblr Posts

Wouldja' look at that? It's a chapter link! Appropriately titled "Answers" because I finally give some (though props to anyone who guessed beforehand).

For anyone curious, this story was initially based on a dream I had way back in high school that stuck with me. More below the cut to keep this from being too long on people's dash.

For anyone who isn't aware, I'm on the older end of the Sonic fandom. I was almost into double digits when the first Sonic game was released. I grew up with the franchise, and my favorite piece of media (aside from Sonic 2, which I got pretty darn good at even without memorizing the cheat codes for level select and Super Sonic) was the Saturday morning cartoon, Sonic the Hedgehog, also known as "SatAM." At some point I had a weird dream that involved the basic premise of the answers in this chapter (I won't go into details because you should really read the chapter first). That idea stuck with me, and after I was introduced to the concept of fanfiction in college, I decided to finally use it in a story. I changed a lot of the surrounding details, but that core premise remained intact, leading to this story here.

Next chapter preview. It's a two-illustration week again!

I'm not entirely sure about the coloring job on the first picture, but I had to tell myself to stop fiddling with it or I'd never finish it. These are supposed to be quick-and-dirty illustrations, after all. Not slow-and-dirty. But hey, playing with some starker shadows to imply a harsh single light above them.

The other picture, by contrast, was much simpler. Just three sections to shade, only two of those to add highlights, and then playing with some overlays and coloring the lineart before quickly painting in a background.

Tune in Monday for the chapter link!
