Description
Next up, Scourge and Mephiles!I have to admit, I got really carried away with Mephiles' coloring XD He's so fun to draw though LOL
Scourge is very much the same physically as Sonic, or at least very similar. He is naturally slim and lean, although eating is not very high on his priority list, which contributes to making him skinny. Because of his time spent in the No Zone prison without access to his speed, his leg power is significantly lessened. That's not to say he has none at all, as he is still extremely fast, but in comparison to how he could match Sonic's sheer leg power before, he can't do this anymore. However, also unlike Sonic, he has a fair amount of upper body strength to lean back on and can pack a heck of a punch with ease. His quills are significantly shorter than Sonic's as well because of not only having them trimmed and dulled in prison, but also because of the growth in them being stunted because of constantly having them pulled out by his fellow inmates. Because of this, they are much rougher than Sonic's and their lengths are very uneven. Getting them to hold their shape is a struggle.
Mephiles is very much the Slenderman of Sonic. Because of his shapeshifting abilities, he can really take on any form and thus does not have a set shape or specific body type. But besides his preferred 'Shadow form', his true form is typically a better representation of his most common 'body shape'. His arms are disproportionately long in comparison to the rest of his limbs, and while his legs are much harder to speak for given that they are not typically defined, they are equally disproportionate, allowing him to loom over other Mobians with ease. His 'Shadow form' tends to carry over some features into his true form, that being a relatively boxy and curveless form, very much like Shadow himself.

I love Scourge so much I'm so mad I used to think he was just a dumb sonic recolor
I also miss Mephiles in things..

Galaxynite In reply to meltyfase [2016-08-19 16:17:56 +0000 UTC]
Haha, I can definitely relate! I didn't like Scourge much when I first saw him, but he really is a perfect example of 'don't judge a book by its cover', because he turned out to be pretty awesome!
Agreed. It's a shame Mephiles didn't get more attention, game-wise! He was a fantastic villain!

meltyfase In reply to Galaxynite [2016-08-22 20:06:16 +0000 UTC]
Yeah I really do see him as a different person from sonic now
Yes what a wasted opportunity with Meph! Best recolor out there
I actually wish he did look more different. He has so much spook potential.

Can I just say I love this whole series? You've done such a good job capturing the personalities of all the characters!
I do have a question, since I've especially loved the backgrounds for these characters. How do you determine what shapes and colors to use in your background? For example, the forms in the background of Meph run parallel to the of action, whereas they run perpendicular for Scourge. Do you have a systematic way to determining which shapes/colors to use, or do you experiment to find the best ones?
Either way, these are fantastic! Keep up the good work!

Galaxynite In reply to TheEnigmaMachine [2016-06-01 04:27:07 +0000 UTC]
Awe gosh, thank you so much! ;;v;; I'm so glad that you think so! It has been such a fun challenge for me to make them all different from one another and make each of them unique!
For the backgrounds, I've kindof just been winging it haha! I've just been going with what I think I will like, and what seems to fit the characters. With Mephiles, I wanted colors and a background that he would kindof blend in with, but not disappear into. I figured it would add to the illusion of him shapeshifting and not really actually having a definitive shape. Thus, I went with a similar color to his eyes because purple would have sucked him in and dulled the whole picture too much. With Scourge, I went with something a little more simple but also more bold, because that's what Scourge's personality essentially is. I chose colors that contrasted his color scheme more than Mephiles' colors did, especially with the red. The red was tossed in there to not only contrast the cool greens and the blue shading I used, but also in the hopes that it would also make the picture seem warmer as a whole and give the green a nice tint. The perpendicular lines were kindof just tossed in there for no real reason
Thank you again so much and I hope that explains it for you haha!

Pretty much, haha! And actually, I pretty much accidentally started shipping Shardcole LOL I entered a contest over on Colors a few years ago that was Shardcole themed, and all I knew was that I liked Shard. Had no idea who Nicole was though! So it turned out to be a happy accident that ended up getting me into shipping them LOL

MORE SPIKEY CRYSTALS. SPIKETALS.
Oh, for sure, I totally do the same XD It's probably good you write them down, though. My mind kinda just blanks the second I change a page or something, and then I've gone and forgotten everything I was gonna write in the description, even though I wrote it out so nicely in my head...
