Shadic the Hedgehog, a Sonic fan character, having fun running through Green Forest (one of my favorite levels from "Sonic Adventure 2"). She isn't as fast as Sonic, so needs some help from a vine to navigate the half pipe paths. A few jungle plants dot the environment, with a tree trunk to the left and mossy-green wood ground curving in fore- and background, with a vine bridge overhead in the distance. Mostly dark shades of greens and browns in the background. Shadic is silver with blue markings, pale tan muzzle and inner ears. Camera view is low and tilted at 45 degrees, looking up at her as she runs with a wide open happy grin, showing pointy little teeth. Clean lines and solid colors, a work-in-progress that will eventually be shaded.

The work-in-progress is progressing! 😊

This'll be fully shaded before I call it done. And I'm determined to finish it. XD I'm just slow and juggling many things.

Tricky! 🤭 Soko was in the "crush" phase longer. Shadic had less emotional experience, so was a bit bolder in jumping from like to love. He may appear to love more because he's so protective. She sees their relationship as easy and natural as breathing. ❤️

Shadic has abnormally thick fur for a woman so doesn't need to wear clothes. She also has long quills plus an extra set on her back, which just makes things difficult. She may wear things on occasion, but is usually "nude". Flowy or short clothing may be the lesser evil.

#ShadicTheHedgehog

Shadic has been around since at least 2003 (maybe earlier). I'm not really sure where it came from, but I distinctly remember riding on the school bus with a nugget of an idea in mind, and immediately started writing the first pages of her story once I got home.

Shadic likes black coffee. Soko prefers his coffee sweet and creamy, and also likes sweet juices.

For more adult beverages, Shadic would pick a stout or porter. Soko enjoys honey whiskey. Alluded to in a previous drawing, in fact! 🤭

#SonicOC
#ShadicTheHedgehog
#SokoTheHedgehog

Not so much to start with, but I imagine Shadic and Soko would explore interests to see what sticks, especially since Shadic would be trying a lot of new things for the first time.

He does try to teach her how to use a firearm. That never goes well. 😆

Relationship dynamics chart for Shadic and Soko, weighing their various metrics for behavior and preferences. For example, Shadic is more chill while Soko is off-the-chart protective. Includes touch preference chart (Shadic enjoys touch on her face, head, and waist, not on chest or feet; Soko prefers touch on his arms and chest, but not his fluffy ears). Additional charts show Soko is more attached, and Shadic has a higher libido. Neither care for receiving gifts, but they both appreciate quality time together.

@zultimatee.bsky.social recommended this to me, and it was fun to sort out Shadic and Soko's relationship dynamics a little more! 🥰

I've also been writing more casual snippets between them on OCSN. Feel free to add them if you'd like to interact!

Profile pictures for Shadic the Hedgehog and Soko the Hedgehog, both Sonic the Hedgehog fan characters. Chest-up face views only, clean lines with color, no shading. Shadic (left) has a sweet expression and a little smile. Soko (right) looks less amused and more neutral, with a little bit of crossed arms showing. The side-by-side comparison also shows some of the shape differences I try to incorporate between them. For lack of better words, Shadic has a few sharper features, smaller eyes, and a slender build. Soko is overall more rounded with larger eyes that are often (but not always) lidded, and a tall but more muscled build.

A couple of profile pictures I made for Shadic and Soko!

It was nice to finish something quick and simple within a day. And I can put these to use for various things. ^_^

Shadic has seen some hardships, but by and large she has an optimistic view of the world and wants to enjoy it.

I'm not entirely sure what to expect there, but I hope it'll be fun. ☺️

Eddie and Anita are brother and sister, children of Rain and Suni.

Soko is an only child.

Shadic doesn't have biological parents, so no siblings. She loosely has a sibling-like vibe with Shadow because of their situational similarities.

I love how unapologetically comfortable Shadic is with herself. She's never fussed over how or why she is. Even though she has abilities that can make her quite strong, she doesn't count herself as more special than anyone else. She has a life and she wants to live it!

Both Shadic and Soko default towards truth, but can and will lie if it's a matter of safety. Soko's better at it, but feels guilt if lying to a loved one.

Shadic doesn't hide it as well so is more likely to be honest. Folks who know her can usually tell

Shadic the Hedgehog, a Sonic fan character, in a customized racing machine built in the game "Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds". Camera is facing the front quarter panel of the vehicle, showing her smiling and giving a two-finger wave from the single driver's seat. Rough work-in-progress sketch with a solid light-gray background, no color.

I felt a strong need to sketch today, and just HAD to do some "Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds" fan art. 😅 Featuring Shadic in what I'm considering to be her racing machine!

*tosses onto growing WIP pile*

I will be back for this. XD

Shadic never had much chance to dream up "types" and "Mr. Right", but wouldn't choose anyone else. So if asked, she'd probably just shrug and point at Soko. XD If she needs space he gives it, but makes a point to never go far. He's been her anchor and by her side through it all.

#ShadicTheHedgehog

Shadic likes to swim, so I can see her gravitating to sports involving water. She isn't overly competitive and would just be out having fun.

Soko enjoys target shooting as a solo activity. It's methodical, so he finds it both familar and oddly soothing.

#SonicOC
#ShadicTheHedgehog
#SokoTheHedgehog

A trope likely fits! 😆 Soko was assigned to a sort of two-way security detail for Shadic. He was the only one to show any sort of concern for her actual well-being, and he very obviously became attached. She grew to trust him, and the rest is history. c:

#SonicOC

#SokoThrHedgehog

Honestly? Either Shadic or Soko equally. Soko would be good for quickly and quietly defusing a bad situation. Shadic would be good for lighting the fuse and winning. 😂

In general matters, they both have good hearts and would want to help if able.

#SonicOC
#ShadicTheHedgehog
#SokoTheHedgehog

Shadic fears loss of control. After an episode where her emotional state was artificially altered for the worse, she can sometimes still slip into a rage when it isn't warranted. She usually catches it, but is deeply afraid of causing someone harm. Again. 😣

Shadic: March 19th
Soko: July 7th

Okay so I literally JUST decided on these days, BUT I based it on science! XD

...

I went through my old sketchbooks and selected the oldest dated drawing for each of them. 😅

Shadic's first smooch was (unsurprisingly) with Soko! 😘

The timing would be well after Shadic's "rage incident" at GUN.

She kisses him first in a sweet little moment. He's stunned stupid for a few beats but returns the sentiment in full. 🥰🤭

#SonicOC
#ShadicTheHedgehog

Here they are individually! Who would you be more afraid of in a water fight? 🤔

Personally, I'd think to be more worried about Shadic. But Soko actually knows how to aim and would probably be ruthless... 😅🤣

Shadic and Soko, Sonic the Hedgehog fan characters, posing together in swimwear and armed with water pistols. Shadic is silver with blue markings, and is wearing a purple two piece swimsuit and a dark blue semi-transparent scarf tied around her waist. Soko is green with red markings, and is wearing dark blue swim trunks with small orange accents. Both look mischievous and are likely planning to ruin someones sunbathing session with water-based shenanigans. Clean lines, solid colors, no shading, teal radial gradient in background. Done for a summer-themed Discord event with an intended transparent background.

I would not trust these two at a beach party. Shenanigans would definitely ensue... 🤭

Fun fact! Shadic is a big fan of water and a very capable swimmer. Soko can also swim but is more indifferent to it.

Soko is quite reserved and prefers to follow and serve, not lead and plan. He gives off a bland or standoffish vibe, even though he's very caring and dedicated.

Shadic is fairly trusting to start, but absolutely holds grudges and will NOT let them go.

#SonicOC
#ShadicTheHedgehog
#SokoTheHedgehog

Shadic is self-assured and spirited. She's comfortable with her choices and abilities, more willing to go with the flow.

Soko is steadfast and disciplined. Generally calm under pressure with a clear goal in mind, but firey if moral lines are crossed.

Fun fact: Shadic's blush isn't red or pink, because her blood is tinted purple. c:

Shadic and Soko sit at an oil lamp lit table, presumably in an Old West style saloon, catching up after a long day's work to enjoy each other's company, stories, and drinks. Soko is leaning back in his chair, relaxed and looking a little bemused as Shadic spins some sort of story. Despite the slight hint of a blush, she has definitely not had more to drink than him [/sarcasm]. Clean lines and solid colors, with an old fashioned sepia overlay, scratches, and white vignette effect. No shading.

What tall tales do you think a slightly toasted Shadic would tell? 🤭
