So today is the anniversary of Sonic CD, which mean today is Amy Rose's birthday! And don't forget Metal Sonic as well! Here's some art I made featuring these two iconic characters! (Likes, Replies & Reposts are appreciated! Feel free to follow!)

Amy Rose is holding a phone camera (hence the perspective of the artwork), winking and being happy while presenting Metal Sonic who is behind her, while he's looking at a balloon he is holding with no thoughts in that head of his.
Yes I drew Metal Sonic with a more basic design and coloring because drawing this artwork this took me a couple hours, I never drew his design before, and I didn't have a reference image for his design and use the color picker tool for, and yes that meant I made a silly goober.

Decided to draw some of my characters as Mermaids, or "merpeople"? idk. Check the ALT Text for the character names! Shoutouts to Ruby (Inked_Whimsy) for reference poses! (Likes, Replies, & Reposts are appreciated! Feel free to follow!) #OCArt #OCSky #OC #DigitalArtwork

The character on the left is named "Bracket the Cat", and the character on the right is named "Hyphen the Cat".
These two have characteristics similar to Sonic and Shadow the Hedgehog, with Hyphen (the blue one) being Sonic, and Bracket (the red one) being Shadow, hence why these two are together in this image.

From left to right: We have "Lyra the Bunny" (left), "Nixie the Cat" (middle), and "Jade the Vixen" (right).
These three are together since they are the only female animal characters in my roster of OCs, but they all their own characteristics that make them unique from one another outside of their designs.

So because today is my birthday, I decided to post this Sonic render that I had done, but held back on uploading. Check "ALT Text" for more information. (Likes, Replies & Reposts are appreciated! Feel free to follow!) #SFM #SourceFilmmaker #SonicTheHedgehog #SonicFanArt

(Fun Fact: This render was originally created on April 25th 2026, but I didn't upload it at the time due to me not being proud of the final product and held it back. This was going to include Sonic from the Sonic Boom spin off, and Sonic from the live action movies, but because I was fighting with the SFM model for Movie Sonic at the time trying to make it look good and couldn't get the result I wanted. Plus it was already very late when at this point of development and I was severing lacking motivation to keep on battling to achieve my original vision, so for my sanity I had to scrap that concept and keep these two and render as is.)

Fun Fact: These renders were on April 16th 2026, two days before the Rouge renders I made and posted a day later (check them out here: bsky.app/profile/retr...). I was inspired when I saw plushies of these four.

Here's a render I made from January that I forgot to upload on my socials that features Lucy the Bun & Mimi Sentry in poses similar to art from the Mario & Luigi series. (Likes, Replies, & Reposts are appreciated! Feel free to follow!) #SourceFilmmaker #SFM #TeamFortress2 #TF2

This Source Filmmaker (SFM) render was made on January 27th 2026, and features Mimi Sentry (Left) and Lucy the Bun (Right) side by side giving each other the shoulder as they are posed running, in reference to some artwork from the "Mario & Luigi" RPG series of video games.
Fun Fact: When this was created, "UsernameCipher", the creator of the Lucy the Bun mod, didn't create the character mods for Sniper and Spy that also turned them into anthropomorphic animal characters. And as of posting and writing this, while said mods DO exist, the models are NOT available on the Steam Workshop for the community to use.

Feel free to follow!) #digitalartwork #ocart #SallyAcorn #SallyFanArt #SonicTheHedgehog #SonicFanArt #SFM #SourceFilmmaker

(This was created on December 25th 2025, yes I had to make this TODAY since I wasn't able to get to it any previous days I was able to draw, also I ran out space for the main post to be more clear about what this render is)
Sally Acorn (whose model is created by the talented Adam "PixelRush") is driving Sonic's car, while carrying a bunch of gifts in one hand while using the other to steer the vehicle.
Sonic is running chasing after the run away car, trying to keep up with Sally driving at very fast speeds.
Meanwhile Juda (an OC created by yet again the wonderful Adam "PixelRush") is sitting on the side of the car Sally is driving in, somehow being to keep a good grip & not being sent flying the opposite way, while cheerfully waving to the approaching Sonic the Hedgehog.
This render describes the chaotic nature of the holiday season, and was also an experiment in drawing on PC with mouse & keyboard, drawing a character I haven't drawn before, and combining 2D & 3D into 1 artpiece.

(Originally created on October 27th 2025, this artwork was based on an image a very close friend of mine sent in a Group DM I am in, and I said I had an idea to draw this with my characters, along with adding some unique choices that makes this stand out a bit different when compared to the original image. Unfortunately, I do not have the original image my friend post on hand so you're gonna have to do your own work in finding it if you want to make a comparison.)

Here's a random art dump featuring stuff I drew, never found a way to post them on their own, so I combined them. Check the "ALT Text" for info on when they were created! (Likes, Replies, & Reposts are appreciated! Feel free to follow!) #digitalartwork

(Originally created on October 30th 2025, this artwork was based off a YouTube thumbnail from a video titled: "GROWNUPS WHO'VE SHOWN UP: More Times Adults Faces Were Seen In Peanuts" by a channel named: "Cynical Adult Watches Cartoons". The thumbnail features a character in the Peanuts franchise who had pink hair, a red short sleeved dress, skirt and shoes, and wore long white socks. After coming across the thumbnail, I immediately thought to myself: "What if Amy Rose wore that outfit? It fits her pretty well without being too different", and I got to drawing her. It was originally just gonna be her, but decided to draw her laughing along with what was supposed to be Sonic drawn as Snoopy, since you can't have Peanuts without Snoopy, but changed it to be Sonic in his doodle form when I just couldn't get Snoopy Sonic looking right at all without proper references. And the background was also added to make the image not feel empty.)

(Originally created on November 25th 2025, this artwork was based off a panel from the Archie Sonic the Hedgehog comics, but with Sonic being replaced with my OC, "Hyphen the Cat", drawn in the style of a Sonic character. I saw the original image posted as a reaction image from a user on Discord, and the moment I saw that I knew I wanted to draw my character over it, and that I did. I even redid the background from the original panel instead of scrubbing Sonic away to replace him, since the outlining and colors weren't TOO complicated, I thought "why not?" and did it.)

RetroGamer429 @retrogamer429.bsky.social · 09/12/2025

So I've been on a kick with drawing my OC, Hyphen the Cat, more like a Sonic styled character, since the series helped get me interested in a lot of things, art included. (Likes, Replies, & Reposts are appreciated! Feel free to follow!) #ocart #ocsky #oc #digitalartwork

This artwork contains a picture being held with two characters in the frame, the character on the right is "Kayden", featuring a new design with a light blue hat and shorts, brown hair and belt, a dark blue short sleeved open shirt, and a short sleeved white shirt underneath it, with the eyes, hair, and face still remaining the same. The character on the left is "Audrey", also featuring a slightly different new design with a black short sleeved crop top shirt and black pants with a gray belt, the black color scheme of her clothing and the black hair tie(scrunchy?) being the same from her previous gym-wear inspired design.
These two ARE together and have a thing for each other, hence the picture being taken.
The photograph and the background are taken from an episode from the show: "Phineas & Ferb", with the characters originally being Phineas (right) and Isabella (left).
