[Sonic SFM Animation] Tomska - The Hole

Didn't really planned on making this one, but it was quite a while since my last Sonic animation, and I just had to make something. So, let's look in depth of a mysterious hole.
P.s. The gun recoil has been lowered on purposely, to better show how calm Shadow is and don't care about what's happening. Realism is deliberately reduced in animations, this is what makes it so unique.

"Huh, interesting choice to pick Shadow for Tom's role, wonder why-" Shadow: *pulls out gun* "Oh, right"

[@FrostyBooyyy]

Makes sense

[@Supeerr]

I am confuse-

[@M3GAFL0P]

Yeah

[@taki7346]

@@Supeerr Shadow in the games and probably the show owns a gun, he's shown with a gun in his first game, (and probably his *only* game), so it makes sense for Shadow to be in Tom's role.

[@mirarachmiadiyanti712]

That's accurate

[@zigzaghyena]

Best part about this is that, unlike other characters whom I've seen this animated with, Shadow would absolutely just have a gun on hand in case he needs to shoot a monster.

[@bloodmoontwins]

Yeah shadow is a very pull out a gun type of person

[@Man_real_and_stupid]

No, that's his edgy attitude that got made in his game, which isn't his real one.

[@twaggytheatricks9445]

This is... _surprisingly, genuinely well done._ Character choice, lip-movement and sync, character expressions, gosh even their ears move when they're especially expressive. Nice job! :D

[@1angelicdemon1]

don't forget the lighting and shading in the details. it looks professional

[@SingeScorcher]

This just made me realize how little the characters' ears, fur, and other minor details actually DO animate in the 3D games. Shame really because that's probably the biggest advantage of stylized, non-human characters is how much extra expression you can get from non-human parts moving.

[@rosiered6712]

Also the little detail of the mug having what looks like Maria on it

[@cawareyoudoin7379]

This is very much what their dynamic is. With other characters, she's the "all nonsense" person, but with the rest of Team Dark, she's somehow the most sane and reasonable one. Love it.

[@MoonWeaver000]

To be fair, cinnamon roll edgelord and robot trying to be free.

[@GameMasterKyro]

Crippling depression (Shadow) and barely-restrained homicidal urges (Omega) tend to do that to you though.

I like how expressive Rouge is with the minor eye and ear movements.

[@KiraSlith]

A lot of animators really don't put enough stock in the value of ear movements in animal or anthropomorph expression. Typical animal ears have over 30 unique expressional positions, forming a universal short form language.

[@fishpop]

@@KiraSlith I tend to have the ears of my characters be expressive. Granted that each ear only ever has 1 of 3 positions: up, neutral and down. Both up - alert/surprised Both neutral / neutral Both down - sad/timid One up, one down - confused/inquisitive I usually don't have the ears twisted around due to the angles I draw characters at.
