Cutscene Revamp Extensions mod has officially released and I'm already loving it. Amy now has her eyeliner and she looks so adorable. HedgeWedge and @mars-x23.bsky.social really cooked with this one gamebanana.com/mods/684473

Recently I released a mod that disables the model replacements SA2's stage cutscenes, also known as mini-events, do. This is mainly for players who use skins because their models will often break. You can download it at: gamebanana.com/mods/654342 #sonicthehedgehog #sa2 #sonicmodding

Sonic showed up to the Big Foot fight in the wrong outfit.

I opened up some commission slots on my Ko-fi! I feel more confident about commission work so if you want a Sonic Adventure 2 character skin or Chao, this is a good opportunity!

Mars @mars-x23.bsky.social · 13/02/2026

The trial run has been a success! @knightpunk.bsky.social has given me King and Dottie as the first commissions for both types! Thank you so much for giving me the opportunity to try this out and for being so patient! #sonicoc #sa2 #sonicmodding #3dmodelling

Mars @mars-x23.bsky.social · 04/01/2026

Indeed. I'm considering this a trial run to see how I can truly handle commissions so I just have 1 slot open. I don't have my Ko-Fi linked here but you can get to it through my website.

A friend of mine designed their OC for the Afterriders AU by @bulletstations.bsky.social so I thought I'd do that too for one of my OCs. #sonicthehedgehog #sonicoc #sonicart #sonicriders #afterriders

I felt like drawing Amy Rose and getting on that Green Amy trend though it's probably passed now 💀. I also wanna practice this texturing thing I've been trying out so... #amyrose #sonicthehedgehog #sonicart #sonic #art #digitalart

The drawing of Amy Rose. Some minor design tweaks were made, like the addition of a fang and the tip at the end of her hammer's handle. She's holding her Piko Piko Hammer over her shoulder. A rose background is added because transparency doesn't exist.

The same image but edited to be green. Red and pink do not exist anymore.

Mars @mars-x23.bsky.social · 30/10/2025

In light of the results of Sonic Rumble's Community Skin design contest, I decided to make a model of the Hero Chao Amy designed by my friend @monoex.bsky.social! Not to be biased, but this was my favorite design. ;) #sonicthehedgehog #amyrose #chao #sonicrumble #3dart #3d

The render! It has been edited to account for Bluesky's lack of transparency support.

The model in-game. The in-game version has been edited from the render model. The frills and wings have been changed to be opaque models to accommodate for the game's bugged transparency system.

I've been working on some cool stuff after Mars Cup at SHC2025. A new mod I'm working on aims to polish up the Kart Racing game mode with some added features like more sounds for the CPUs and wheel turning. (1/4) #sonicthehedgehog #sonicadventure2 #gamemodding #sa2 #sa2kartracing

A BRAND NEW (?!?!?!) 3D model for my OC Max Fetcha. The textures for the clothing will need some work but that's the beauty of learning new stuff!! He may be coming to CrossWorlds as a mod soon (if I can get the hang of modding Unreal) #sonicthehedgehog #sonicfanart #sonicoc #3D #blender

New machine! It's a Giganto Liner themed after Supreme. I'm honestly really proud of this one and it was a great way to use up that wasted custom slot! #sonicthehedgehog #sonicracingcrossworlds

Mars @mars-x23.bsky.social · 25/09/2025

Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds is very, very fun and I really love it! Though I have been struggling with finishing an online match without disconnecting but I digress. I've created some of my own machines thanks to the very rich customization. #sonicthehedgehog #sonicracingcrossworlds

The Cyclone Chaser. A Cyber Sport styled after the Tornado III/Cyclone from Sonic Adventure 2.

The Heart Speedster (I didn't have a good name for this lol). A Speedster Chaser styled after Amy. I've placed various Amy decals on it.

The Sonic Formula. A Dark Blade based off of Sonic's EX Kart from Sonic Adventure 2 Battle. (I will experiment with using other parts to make it more accurate if I get them)

The Shadow Scorcher. A Mirage Blade based on Shadow's EX Kart from Sonic Adventure 2 Battle. (I will experiment with using other parts to make it more accurate if I get them)

A whooole bunch of progress on the 2nd Sonic OC VTuber model I've worked on, Max Fetcha for @mars-x23.bsky.social !! It's my first time doing: underfills, adding shading layers, & (soon) proper tail rigging. Very happy to learn. Now onto mouth rigging for today 👀

Oh! By the way, I participated in Art Fight this year. I should really post about my other interests more. This is one attack I did of @skaerial.bsky.social's Keira. I really like their design and I think the scythe is really cool! #sonicoc #artfight #artfight2025 #art

skaerial's Keira. I went for a more active pose and a view from behind instead of a basic standing pose. I am aware that her scythe is supposed to be bigger than her but I don't know if I could fit that on paper. The attack has been edited from its original transparent version to have a colored background.

Some screenshots from my cutscene mod for SA2, Sonic Adventure 2 Battle: Director's Cut. If I haven't brought it up yet, the mod aims to fix the Gamecube cutscenes by "finishing" them to the best of my ability. #sonic #sonicadventure2 #gamemodding

An in-dev screenshot of E0002 for SA2BDC. Modifier volumes have been added.

A somewhat outdated in-dev screenshot of E0128 for SA2BDC.

An in-dev screenshot of E0204 for SA2BDC. Thanks to Render Fix's completely rewritten event system, the Research Lab's reflections show back up.

An in-dev screenshot of E0006 for SA2BDC. Due to Render Fix's Dreamcast Event ports and those events' textures being arranged differently, all the textures for this cutscene are wrong.

I'd also like to wish a happy anniversary to Sonic Adventure 2 (well, technically it's Dreamcast version). I love this game to pieces and I'm happy that it even came out. This game along with other Sonic games have shaped who I am today and is incredibly also incredibly important for the franchise.

Did you know? The Hard Mode version of Meteor Herd (every version) contains an enemy not seen anywhere else in the game. This is the GUN Phoenix! It's a red and faster version of the GUN Hornet-3 enemy. There's also an unused Phoenix-6 variant! #sonicthehedgehog | #sa2 | #knuckles | #sonicadventure2

A screenshot of a GUN Phoenix arming its bombs to throw at Knuckles.

Two GUN Phoenixes. The model on the left, a Phoenix-3. The model on the right, a Phoenix-6. The Phoenix-6 goes unused as the only two Phoenixes are Phoenix-3's.

The Sonic comic based on Shadow & Sage is complete. "Kindred Ties" Script: Lorenzo Hall Lines/Inks: @scourgefrontiers.bsky.social Colors: @nonitheartist.bsky.social This comic would not be possible without their hard work, and hopefully it captures both characters well. #SonicTheHedgehog

Page one:

Five panel comic

Panel 1 shows Shadow the Hedgehog in silhouette at night looking up at a broken moon. The Space Colony Ark is also visible.

Second Panel shows Shadow's head and arms folded. A wistful expression to establish his mood

Panel 3 shows Shadow's head turning, him reacting to someone behind him. Dialogue: "Shadow the Hedgehog. The Ultimate Lifeform."

Panel 4 continues, the shadowy figure floating. Shadow is in the distance, looking over his shoulder.

"There is something I must ask you."

Shadow: "Hm, so, you're the Eggman creation Sonic told me about..."

Panel 5 is a reveal in the forest of Sage, the AI daughter of Eggman, her expression stoic and hard to read.

Shadow: "Sage."

Shadow: "What is it you want from me?"

Page 2. Five panels.

Panel 1 shows Shadow and Sage in Silhouette. There is distance between them. Shadow looks over his shoulder as Sage speaks.

Sage: "You are a creation of Gerald Robotnik. Raised on the Space Colony Ark."

Panel 2: Shadow's listening, scowling at Maria being brought up by a stranger.

Sage: "In addition, you were close to Maria Robotnik, cousin to my father."

Panel 3: Shadow speaks dismissively. Eye narrowed, he's still not happy with Sage's presence and is wary.

Shadow: "Eggman told you about my history."

Sage: "Father created a file detailing your capabilities and potential contingencies to neutralize you.

Though it was thorough, it was lacking information that I deemed crucial."

Panel 4: Sage's face is shown in close up. She's facing down, reflective and showing emotional vulnerability.

Sage: "As father is my family, they are his. He would never admit to it, but knowing so little about them weighs on him."

Panel 5: Sage is now reaching out to Shadow, who is in the foreground. Sage is imploring him, being open.

Sage: "To that end, I must ask...Can you tell me what they were like? Gerald Robotnik and Maria."

Page Three: Seven Panels.

Panel 1: Shadow has his arms folded, looking over at Sage. He's not convinced by her words.

Shadow:
"You work for Eggman. Even if you call him father, you are a creation of his. Between how he dealt with Omega and his twisted mockeries of me, I know exactly how he treats his creations.

How long will it be before he decides you’re a tool he no longer has use for?"

Panel 2: Shadow's mouth is shown as he changes stance, his posture altered as he's about to leave Sage.

Shadow:
"If you do have your own will, you’d be wise to leave Eggman and find your own answers."

Panel 3: Sage reacts by holding his hand, the contact is gentle as she tries to convince Shadow to share.

Sage:
"Wait. I know you have misgivings about father, and they are not unfounded. Even so, I would like to know about my family…if only for my own sake."

Panel 4: Shadow and Sage are shown in full near the wilderness, a tree and bush are shown to also make it clear Sage has closed the distance.

Sage:
"You have no obligation to tell me, but…It is clear they matter to you. "

"They must have been precious. I would like to know what made them so important."

Panel 5: Shadow shows surprise for a moment, emotionally open now.

Panel 6: Just as quick, Shadow hides it, turning his head and looking up.

Panel 7: Shadow and Sage are shown in silhouette on the hill. The sky shows shooting stars along with the broken moon.

Shadow:
"…If you are sure. I can tell you at least a little."

"Maria was my closest friend, and someone I gave my all for…"
