Yes, Hidama belongs to me. Yes, I made him to be Knuckles' brother. Yes, that means technically he's a fan character BUT!! Big but here. I've got my story worked out that I can write out all of the official references so everything will belong 100% to me. Most of it does. I only borrow a few official characters and references and one day I will be rid of them. So yes, Hidama belongs to me. I don't want to hear otherwise lol I'm still trying to hone my style so, I don't want to hear it XP

Anyway Gem wanted me to draw Hidama, an oldie but a goody lol he's had an interesting role in the RP, at least so far. When I was doing this I was reminded of a song called "Ghost of Days Gone By" by Alter Bridge. See the RP is in the future after the end of the War. Out of the four Children of Arandor only Hidama is alive; Knuckles, Amy, and Jade have all passed away. Amy that's not surprising, but echidnas live almost twice as long as everyone else. It's said that Knuckles and Jade died young because of the stresses involved with their powers.

Hidama waited quietly on Angel Island for his time, but he never died. His body aged from grief and weariness after he lost his wife, and after a lightning strike on the Altar made him blind. When he appears in the RP Arandor determines it is his power, the power that makes him the Master of Time and Space, that has made Hidama immortal. Upset by this, Hidama slowly accepts his fate, and takes up living with Durnam and Ilyamay who are living with all of the others.

His sight is restored to him, and slowly he starts to become limber again. He meets a girl named Kotomi who lived in a prototype world that was never completed. She hardly speaks at first and is very shy, but gradually they form a friendship. Kotomi and her presence help ease the age off of Hidama even more, and he starts to look more like his younger self again.

Recently, he was showed a vision where he has a son and a daughter in the future, and it rolled back more of the age, giving his eyes a shine they haven't had in years.

So yes an interesting role so far lol

Losing his brother probably crippled him the most, but he's gotten a lot better. His two new kids are adorable lol Thaileon and Mitsuru; yep his son is named after his father.

Anyway, again I called this Ghost of Days Gone By because of the song by Alter Bridge. I couldn't help but put it with Hidama and this piece.

The misery I know, like a friend that won't let go,
Is creeping up on me now once again.
Now I sing this song tonight, to the ghost that will not die,
And somehow seems to haunt me until the end.

Do you feel the same for what was remained,
Yesterday is gone we can't go back again.
Do you ever cry, for the ghost of days gone by?

I remember summer days, we were young and unafraid,
With innocence we'd glide beneath the stars.
It seems so long ago, beyond the life that I now know,
Before the years would have their way and break my heart.

Do you feel the same for what was remained,
Yesterday is gone we can't go back again.
Do you ever cry, for the ghost of days gone by?
Ghost of days gone by, ghost of days gone by.

And I know it's drawing closer, with each day I feel the end.
I don't want to die, don't want to die, don't want to die.
I don't want to die.

Do you feel the same for what was remained,
Yesterday is gone we can't go back again.
Do you ever cry, for the ghost of days gone by,
Do they haunt you like a ghost until the end?
Haunt you til the end?
Until the end?
Until the end?
Until the end?

Just the way Hidama's looking back makes me think of that song, like how days went by and he never got old and frail. Sure he aged on the outside but he didn't grow old and die like his brother and those around him. However, I imagine this is him in his younger years, maybe traveling with the Brokenstar Twins, just looking back and remembering something. Maybe looking back at yesterday <3

Anyway, what I learned with this piece, since I'm trying to learn something with each one I do, I learned more about using the air brush, and this was obviously an experiment in lighting. I've got a lot to learn but I love how his head and face turned out with it turned into the shadow. I also love the inside of his cape.

And...I love painting sunsets and stars XD

So yes, this one was rather quick for me as well, just a couple of days lol My signature looks messy because I forgot to sign and date it before I scanned it so I had to write it out with my touch pad lol

Hinsei Hidama Rodnara belongs to me.
