Description Hola! Boy, it's been awhile since I've done one of these! *Cracks knuckles*

So, those of you that reach Archie's Sonic the Hedgehog comic will recognize this character if you've kept up with the story arcs as of late! This is Shard, the original Metal Sonic, in his new and shiny body! And boy, did I fall in love with him!

So much so, that I've included him in my own little universe of madness. While this is still the Shard we all know and love, in my setting, he had a slightly different upbringing. Shard, also known as The Prototype, is...well, the prototype of the infamous Metal Sonic. However, because of issues with a stable power source, he was scrapped, and replaced with our favorite metal double. However, after years of being nothing more than a memory in a blueprint, he was rebuilt by Metal Sonic using a Power Gem as an energy source.

Because he has come into the world rather recently, he is still fleshing out his personality that he uses around people. Much to the chagrin of his "master", he has adopted a snarky, confident attitude that tends to remind those around him of a certain blue hedgehog. However, because of his "youth", he is quite naive, knowing little of the workings of the world despite the massive amounts of information at his fingertips. As such, he is often quite literal minded and can have difficulties understanding the lifestyle of "organics".

This is Shard simply watching the sunset, slowly learning to appreciate its beauty.

Shardie >u<

 

My story on Shard is a little different, close to the canon story of him, but I haven't read Sonic Archie...

It's kinda like, Geoffrey St. John finds his gem in Mt. Mobius (Like the canon scene) and gives it to Sir Charles/Uncle Chuck (Not sure if that part of it is canon) because he later gets rebuilt by Uncle Chuck. My guess would be that he lives somewhere in the digital world/AI world whatever it's called, or he lives in Knothole (If I'm correct this is where the workshop/tree stump is) and when he's not doing something important he's with Nicole and Larry Lynx, and sometimes Uncle Chuck. And often feels outcasted because the Mobians in knothole know he's a Metal Sonic... I think that story is close to the canon but I know parts of it are probably wrong. ^3^

Much more canon than mine, but I enjoy working in AU. It allows me to take the core of the character, but give 'em a bit of a different flavor. Plus, the mental image of Shard and Larry buddying up together is hilarious for some reason. Probably the difference of personalities.

XD Yeah, I think I read somewhere that SHard is protective of Larry for some reason. My friends came up with the idea that Shard found Larry as a cub, since my roleplaying skills of Shard kinda got a slight bit confusing. But I actually like that idea. It would be kinda cute if he did find Larry like that. XD

Welcome back, and with a shiny new fandom, I see! I'm no Sonic expert, but do like the series. 


Is it me, or do I see a trend with you liking robots? And really nice job on this. I love the shading. As I know nothing about the character, I can only take your word on him.


Archie… the SatAM Sonic series was based on that, I think?

Thank you! To be honest, I've been in this fandom for years...just  never did much artwork that I cared to share!

Yes. I love robots. Don't know why, but I just love them! 

Actually, I think it was the other way around, if I recall correctly...might be wrong. It's been awhile since I did any research on the subject!
