Sonic Forms Meme - Proj the Echidna

rooteh's Sonic Forms Meme:



Ahhhh, finally finished this. This is something that I actually started quite a while back, around August 2013 (a little bit after Proj was first created). For the longest time I've always wanted to do one of these memes for a character of mine, but none of them really seemed that fun to do. But after I created Proj and fell in love with her, I figured she'd be perfect to do one for, haha! Anyway, I've been working on this thing on and off for about a year and a half, and more recently I've been using this in my recent streams and chipping at it a bit at a time, very pleased with how it turned out! Now for the forms:

---

Normal: Obvs just normal Proj being kawaii as hell. Link to the character for those who don't know who she is: [Project Shadow] - Proj the Echidna.

Knight: Since Proj is an alternate variant of Shadow the Hedgehog, she would hold his place as Sir Lancelot in Black Knight lore, though for this incarnation I refer to her as Sir Ancelote (female variant of "Lancelot", although needless considering she's still addressed as "Sir", ahah).

Wereform: With Proj's Wereform, I did a little something similar to my conceptual Wereform for Shadow I came up with a fair while back: Shadow the Weredoom (Scrapped). So while Shadow's Wereform appears similar to his father, Black Doom, Proj likewise takes more after her mother, Mother Wisp.

Arabian Nights: Honestly, it's been so long since I sketched out these designs I don't even know what idea I came up with for Proj's Arabian Nights design (since Shadow does not appear in Secret Rings). I'm pretty sure I did have a reason for the design I went with, but since I can't remember this is basically just her in Arabian attire.

Super: Just Proj being all Super. Not actually something that occurs canonically in her story, but I just felt like drawing her in a basic Super form anyway. I've made her highlights light blue and her eyes hot pink in reference to Yacker's colour scheme, while her lighter tone of pink references Knuckles' Super/Hyper form.

Metal: A metal copy of Proj, appropriately named Metal Proj, haha. Also a design that is kind of no longer canon, since I came up with this design long before I decided on an actual Proj copy in my story, Mirror: [E-123 Omega] - The Shadow Android. Although, I could still use Metal Proj and say that this was Mirror's prototype casing.

Riders: Proj in Riders gear. 'Nuff said.

Mephiles: Mephiles taking on Proj's frame. Something I specifically wanted to do here was to maintain Mephiles' colour scheme when drawing this form, since many I've seen who've done this meme tend to use colours that suit the character used rather Mephiles' own colour scheme, which doesn't really make sense to me.

Classic: Eeeee, wookit tiny wittle Pwoj! Mostly just simplified Proj's "Modern" design and took a bit of a cue from Classic Amy for this design, also replaced her feathers with a single large leaf. Also not a design that I would consider canon the same way I don't consider a "Classic Shadow" would exist either, since Proj never had a physical youth and was simply created as she is.

Humanized: Proj as a human. This was weird to finish off, since the way I draw humans is constantly changing, haha. I'd later like to redesign a human Proj more similarly to the human Shadow design I created a little while back: The ARK Chronicles - Theo + Zairam

Gender Bend: I think I'll name this guy the full word "Project", haha. Still not badass enough to be named "Shadow", but not cutesy enough for the shorthand "Proj". I have him rocking a fedora, because that was the in thing in the 50's.

Anti: Now, for this Anti slot, I could've really just have drawn Shadow here, since Proj's purpose of being created was to be an Anti-Shadow. But I wanted to do something a bit different and show off Nega Proj (alternatively, I could have shoved this design in Wereform or Super, but eh). Nega Proj is actually a canon design in her story, becoming this after having her energy drained in a Nega Wisp-like fashion.
