SonicAsura’s Doodles #45

A Nezha Reborn version of my Fast Shadows AU! It’s a bit old but Sonic Prime gave me the motivation to dig through my folder and post this. There are some differences here compared to my Lego Monkie Kid version. I’ll be going over on appearance and the new character than actual AU details. That’s for the other blog, @talesofsonicasura.

Considering where Nezha Reborn takes place, Donghai City, a time where the Heavens fell apart… It only makes sense that their designs would have a more punk feel. Sonic wearing violet mascara, an ear piercing and most interesting black fur tattoos that resemble ears. He wears sandals for harsher kicks as his claws down there are quite sharp. His weapon being a peculiar bronze staff with mysterious properties.

This Macaque is MUCH different than his Lego Monkie Kid counterpart. His hair much longer and he indulged in various dyes. He’s also on the chunky, first attempt at a dad bod, plus male monkeys tend to gain weight when they have babies of their own. His six ears aren’t colorful unless their magic is being used. Macaque also wields two short spears that clip together to form a dual bladed spear.

Finally our third character in the picture, Spiny. This is a Salamander who disguised himself as a Pygmy Spiny Tailed Skink, one Macaque got for Sonic. (He didn’t find out until he came back home to his little hedgehog son nestled comfortably against the large Salamander.) Spiny serves as Sonic’s familiar and adapts based on the love n care from the two.

The six eared frills alongside the violet colors from Macaque with the rigged protective shell and blue colors from Sonic. Spiny’s hind legs can be tucked inside his protective shell as a way to control his agility. These limbs are quite powerful as it doubles the Salamander’s speed and jumping power.

That’s it for now. Until next time folks, continue to live and learn. This is a Pygmy Spiny Tailed Skink.
