Description Here are some lost files salvaged from a defunct and ancient computer.

(I'm serious about that. This pic KILLED my laptop. And the fact that the RAM has kerploded, leaving me with a machine that can only handle saving one photoshop layer at a time and text only if i'm lucky, is why it's -really- not as good as it should be D: )

...anyway. Yeah. Wouldn't normally do something like this, I'm not usally -quite- this anal and obsessive about fan stuff... but I just fancied getting the anatomy book out and practising drawing a skeleton. That plus I have a lot of worldbuilding ideas hanging about doing nothing and thought it'd be nice to present them as some of Gerald's blueprinty things.
So here's me taking Shadow and going nuts


Text should just about be readable (is on this pc anyway) but I'm not expecting anyone to plough through it all XD there's a quite a few fanfiction hints in there if anyone's really interested in reading it. Not essential though XD

Apparently ARK runs on Windows. <.<'

Shadow is not mine, obviously.
(Alternative title: TL;DR)

(Edit, yes, I'm aware of the typo(s) now. Missed that one, I'll nuke it later XD Thanks for pointing that out *whisperelmwood )

O.O that is one hell of a lot of writing. Well done, I probably would have got to tired to keep writing ever again on the file after the first 3 small sections on shoes, rings and quills!

Man, this explain most of questions you could ask yourself about shadow.
Ex: why is Shadow still alive after decieving the Biolizard? Cause he have an healing hibernation ability.
o_o That's really well done. I like the scientifical side of the pic (talking of differents projects, reporting past failures and improvements.) and blueprint idea.
It's quite a dream for me seriously!
A hedgehog skeleton! I guess not much people can actually do this. :3
I will fav that later, when I will have a cpu umder the hand.
Ps: Great anthro skills. o.o

Thanks! Haha, I'm torn over toes vs. paws myself, I usually say some Mobians have them and some don't. My thought process kind of went like this- 'you can't draw human feet to save your life. PRACTICE. Compromise and give him clawed toes.' XD

Dracold [2009-11-22 17:45:02 +0000 UTC]

Absolute awesomeness!
One of the facts indicates, that Shadow's memory is in fact inherited from all versions of him while this project is in development...
Well in my opinion there was only one Shadow. I think Black Doom was master of biological manipulation. All of his Black Arms soldiers were his offspring and even the terrifiing Black Comet was organic. He could help Gerald overcome his problems fast.
But one may never know. It appears, that Sega will never revael what and how it exactly happend.
This is absolutely faved!

Woa, it looks like you put a lot of effort into this... I could spend 20 minutes just reading everything... o.o

I also love your style. It's realistic yet cartoonish in the fact that it's still Sonic in structure.

warahi [2009-10-14 19:19:11 +0000 UTC]

While this is indeed AMAZING, I do not understand if this is from the comic universe that you're inspired by or the video game universe. In the games there is no Mobius, just Earth.

Swirlything In reply to warahi [2009-11-06 21:41:35 +0000 UTC]

It's a combination of both from my fanfiction headcanon.

It's based in the STC universe (the UK Sonic comic, a.k.a Fleetway). I just imagined what would happen had the comic continued into the SA2 storyline. Personally, I always preferred the idea of Mobius to the version of events in the games so...

ah well awesome pic none-the-less. Personally I like the game version the most, but my ex-gf likes the SATam/Archie Comics universe.

Zomg, this is wonderful! I love it so much!
(I bet this thing killed your laptop, Poor Laptop! Though I bet it was worth it.)

I like this a lot... I think the same things about Shadow (the shoes, rings and so on.)

I really love the diagram!

Oh my god. I'm one obsessive Shadow Fan, beleive me, but I've never ever even thought of doing something this awesome! The fact that you even made this look so realistic, let alone fill it up with words that MAKE SENCE, is blowing my world. I don't think even SEGA could make something this good on Shadow, and they made him! I am in total awe of you skills, and I have but one question.

How long did it take you to make this masterpeice???

I definitely spent a few days on this thing. But the computer wasn't working right at the time, so it took longer than it should have.

The number of hours is anyone's guess...
