[Sonic SFM Animation] Tomska - The Hole

[@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.

[@goldyplays1433]

I wonder why is shadow's name tom

Cuz the audio is probably from something else. Idk.

[@mirarachmiadiyanti712]

That's accurate

[@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.

[@SnowHoof000]

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.

[@Burning-Twilight]

Considering Shadow and Omega are far more prone to violence than her, she has to be the one to keep them on a leash and on mission.

[@josephmask3705]

The British accent for Rouge is surprisingly fitting

[@joegomez5463]

YYyyyup. I was debating that before ever seeing this video, then I saw this, and was like...."Can we get the change?" I mean, she's a spy, and it kinda brings off the 007 vibes.

@@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.

A hole in my apartment that seems to lead to another dimension seems like a typical tuesday to me and it was nothing compared to the time the world was literally split apart and apparently there was a dark god living underneath.
