Friends.
Here’s the final piece (for now!) in my Sonic the Hedgehog collection - SHADOW. In Sonic 3 Shadow arrived on earth via a meteor and was put into a lab where experiments were performed on him in an effort to harness his “chaos energy”. While in the lab he became friends with Dr. Robotnik’s granddaughter, Maria, who ended up dying in an explosion that was set off in the lab by a stray bullet while he, Maria, and Dr. Robotnik were trying to escape.
Long story short, Shadow was never the same as he had his eyes set on revenge, but ultimately remembered his true self and used his powers for good at the end of the movie.
I love the story of Shadow (even though it’s a bit different from the original story in the video game) because it serves as a warning, right? Life is going to throw some horrors our way, no one can escape them; and if we aren’t careful, if we aren’t on guard, if we aren’t vigilant in staying true to ourselves - it’s easy to let those horrors change us so that we become someone and something entirely different than the vessels of love we were created to be.
May we remember (especially in these divisive times that we are in where revenge and hatred and war feel like the best option) who we are.
This paintings is SOLD along with the others in the Sonic Collection. But, I’m happy to make more if you’d like one.
Send me an email / comment / message / smoke signal / whatever and let me know.
Much love.
