ENGLISH:
Okay I know I left the Sonic fandom a while ago but it's been a few days since I discovered Sonic Shuffle and Void has become my favorite character from the game ;; He's probably one of the most interesting antagonists in the franchise, it's sad that he's so underrated ;~; Definitely expect more fanarts, hope you like it!

Poor void, he just wanted to be friends with his brothers and to fix his damaged stone or to "become whole"

Ikr, he even got to a point where he just didn't know the point of his existence. Poor guy deserved better ;~;

I hate that his character arc went unfinished, everything was set back to the status quo and the worst part is it was all preventable if only Sonic and Co. would've listened to him!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ughh, if only they tried to understand the villains more often... Everything would've ended much better and Void wouldn't have had to go through all of that stuff.

I feel like sega wanted there to be a follow up game to shuffle but that never happened because the game bombed.

They could've done a reboot at least, so maybe the game was less frustrating and there could be a higher chance of getting a sequel, but I don't know if the gaming industry works like that.

Sadly a remake NOW might be hard due to hudson soft (company that made shuffle) is no more, though I wonder why it never got a gamecube remaster like adventure 1&2?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It might be because it wasn't as successful, it would've been nice to see though.

It coming out a year before sonic adventure 2 was a death sentience too.

That's sad to hear, it had a quite interesting story and good characters ;~;

I one day wanna make a fan remake of the game that plays closer to adventure 2 that also fixes the ending.
Problem is that I'd need custom models for Void, Lumina, Illumina as well as all the bosses as all of shuffle's old models would clash with any newer sonic models.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That'd be really cool, I'm pretty sure a lot of fans would play it! I think I've seen a Void model somewhere, but I don't know about the others. You could pay someone to do the models, but that'd be pretty hard too since Shuffle has so many bosses/battle mini bosses.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Are you sure it wasn't void's old model ported?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nevermind, it was the old model
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I could always do a thing where I have two sets of models, one for major cutscenes and the the old dreamcast models for normal gameplay and minor cutscenes (I'm sure there could be a way to make em work, if not I could retexture the adventure 1 models to look cel shaded)
Meaning I'd only need the Precioustones redone, though seeing as there are 7 (if counting Lumina anyways) with two forms each that's still a lot but at least not all of the NPCs and what not.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, at least it's a lot less than I had thought, I'd help if I knew anything about modeling ;~;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'd need a pretty big team, i'd need coders, animators, modelers, concept artists, and voice actors (I think I can do Void's voice decent enough but I think I could do a good job for anyone else)
That and just FINDING the people who care enough about shuffle to help support such a project
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You could post a thread in some communities to see if anyone wants to help, I'm pretty sure there's people fit for the game development out there.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I guess but I wouldn't know any good sites.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
You can try Sonic communities, though I don't know which one would be the best either. Still, I'd be happy to work on the concept art if I was more sure about my skills pvp
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Oh right, I totally forgot I'd need level designers too!
Seeing as it would be playing like adventure 2 the old levels would need to be redone, plus whole new worlds would need to be made too as the plot would go far beyond where shuffle originally ended.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think keeping the Mario Party-like gameplay would be nice, but the other option is interesting too. I'd really like to see how far you can move the plot, and probably finish the character archs in a better way ;v;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
The game would probably be PC only and making a party game style really hard to do as it'd require servers and whatnot to host multiplayer.
Plus who plays party games for the plot anyways?
One main thing I wish to expand upon is Void and Lumina's relationship, I don't like how Void and her just hugged and made up.
After Void is defeated he's really bitter about the fact Lumina tried to kill him over a nonsense reason and refused to listen to her, that and he's visibly upset that she kidnapped Sonic and co. After all, anything can happen in a dream. However we can easily wake up if danger comes our way, due to Sonic and friends being awake due to Lumina pulling them in from the waking world however if they die in Maginaryworld they'll die for good.
Eggman is going to get a bigger role too, all he did in shuffle was play the role of Bowser and didn't help nor harm the plot at all.
In my version Eggman had this evil plan to use the power of the Precioustone to rewrite reality in the real world so he can be the supreme ruler of everything, of course Void shattering it put his plan on ice for a bit.
He messes with sonic for a bit but no one pays him much mind because everyone thinks he isn't the real eggman.
Shuffle's original ending is where the story truly picks up.
Before Lumina puts Void back in the Precioustone Sonic runs up and stops her after noticing Void is chipped.
At first the gang thinks they hurt Void in the fight but after Knuckles notes that the wound looks old and that this is what he meant by wanting to be whole.
Tails then chimes in about how Void probably didn't notice the damage and without his missing shard he had a hard time controlling his magic, that's why when he went to join his "brothers" they went feral and scattered.
The gang then decide to head out and find Void's missing shard so he can finally be whole, not knowing that by fixing the Precioustone they'll be giving control of the precioustone to eggman.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I've never thought about it like that, the original game sure lacked development... But I love how you put it, you actually made the concept work out and it'd be awesome to see in an actual game. I'm guessing finding the shard and fixing the Precioustone would lead to a boss battle against Eggman?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I knooow it would be amazing, everyone bashes shuffle's plot but with a bit more polish it could work!
Yeah by fixing Void he returns to the Precioustone and also he drags in lumina, who I'm pretty sure is also a part of it too seeing how both of them can fuse to eachother.
However Eggman already had the thing set up to allow him to control the precioustone and Sonig and gang have to fight Guardia (my fan name for the complete prcioustone's physical form) to try and break him free of Eggman's control.
Man I really gotta redraw Guardia, my design for him updated ages ago. My old picture was only a slight edit of Illumina, plus his form was waaaay more female looking despite Void referring to the Precioustone with male pronouns.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Honestly, I started playing Shuffle because of the plot but I got quite disappointed, probably because Wikipedia made everything sound more interesting than what we actually get to see ;~; Your design isn't that bad, though I'd expect something that looked more like the Precioustone bosses (only bigger and way more powerful).
Btw, are you, by any chance, that one girl on Tumblr who had an ask fusing NiGHTS and Shuffle?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I got into it because I was a huge NiGHTS nerd and heard there was a goddess of dreams and I was like "Oh wait, NIGHTS doesn't have a goddess of dreams does it? Shuffle Doesn't have a god of nightmares either, plus NiGHTS is in shuffle!"
Mainly I wanna redo that design because you can't tell Void is there at ALL, as for the shuffle bosses, I imagine Guardia has two forms.
God damn it did you find that old ask blog of mine staring Wizeman and Illumina?
I really gotta update that blog. A lot of those headcanons are out of date.
Plus my characterization was a bit rough, Void wasn't vague enough and Wizeman needs to be more evil. Illumina and Lumina are fine due to their lack of character in the first place.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's exactly why it caught my attention too, I had seen Lumina and Void before but I didn't realize they belonged to a world of dreams. Oh, okay, I imagine he turns into his god-like form after Sonic and friends free him from Eggman's control, right?
Yep, but I had also seen some of your NiGHTSxShuffle drawings on DA before XD I didn't know it was that old tbh
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Funny story I had this huge back and forth with myself on Void's gender. When I first saw him I assumed he was male, however after learning he was half of a female goddess I was like "oh, they must be a girl" but then when I finally saw the cutscenes I was like "So Void WAS a boy!!!"
I think the boss fight with Guardia would work like most modern sonic boss fights (from my knowledge anyways, never really beaten any sonic games since adventure 2) where first form is the normal form and the "battle form" is the second and final phase.
Though again, the boss fight is still in the planning stages.
Man I've been really wanting to draw Void more, I should get on that.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It happened something similar to me, but with Reala. When I first heard his name I had only seen his JoD picture (in which you can't see his face all that well) so I thought he was a female, but then I heard his voice and I really flipped out when I found out he was more like a male (since nightmarens are genderless). About Void, I've always seen him as a male, though I'm not very fond of his voice.
If I remember correctly (I'm basing this on the Sonic Colors battles so idk if it applies to other games too), they start off normally and when you hit them enough times they somehow "get mad" and the battle gets harder, more or less like Mario battles. And you should really draw him, I feel like there are very few fanarts of him ;~;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know NiGHTS was in sonic adventure but I never payed him much mind, I played JoD when I was little and noticed they used male pronouns for NiGHTS and Reala so I stuck with that even after learning they are genderless.
I honestly like Void's voice as I think it fits his character pretty well, though seeing how his voice is literally just Omochao's minus the robot filter I can see why you dislike it.
He sounds like that of a lost child, someone who has lost their way. When you think of a character named Void you'd think something menacing but that's not Void's style and the voice fits him well.
Yeah that's more or less it, Guardia's "mad" form would be the demonic looking form the Precioustone Guardians take.
I may as well draw Void again, I always see my fan art of him show up when I google image search him so I may as well have some GOOD fanart there.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, it kinda fits him if you think about it like that, it just wasn't what I expected. I was expecting a kind of deeper and calm sounding voice, so finding out it was more like Omochao's was a letdown.
Ooh, then I guess there'd be some kind of cutscene where he turns into his god-like form after being freed from Eggman? (Maybe I'm missing everything you said earlier, but I thought it'd be a good idea) Seeing how much you've improved, more fanarts would be definitely nice ;v; I should also draw my humanized versions of Lumina and Void qvp
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I never had an expectation one way or another for Void's voice.
Fun fact, I found some unused voice clips of Omochao I could imagine Void saying. Mainly "I'm not bad, you got the wrong idea"
I also found another one where he said "I'm not evil, I'm just misunderstood" but I can't seem to find it again.
Nah, phase one is Guardia's normal form and phase two is the "battle" form. Then after that you win and Guardia gives Eggman a huge talking to about how the power of dreams should be for everyone and by him using the precioustone for evil he was ignoring the dreams of everyone else. Idk I'm paraphrasing it's a lot more deep than that.
I know the first thing I wanna draw is a small comic poking fun at how the fandom often miss-sizes Lumina.
Most fan art I see of her (At least when she has another person for a point of reference anyways) I see fan art of her being the same size as Void when really she's only half his height, though there is the rare chance I see her undersized.
Though I used to make that mistake too, though I've made far worse mistakes with void than lumina. I'm glad I finally have Void down to an art, well minus those wrappings. Plus at the time of that picture I was still working out the kinks of him staying in character, my modern take on him would never have him say heck- period!
Do it man! We need more shuffle art~!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That would've fit him so well, it would've also been easier for Sonic and friends to understand what he meant if those lines were used on Shuffle ;; I think I get it, I don't know if Eggman would have enough empathy to understand that but it's still a good idea. I thought they were the same size, guess I've made that mistake too XD I had a hard time understanding how the wrappings worked too, but I think I was able to make a convincing interpretation. And yeah, I can't imagine him saying 'heck' either XD
I actually have like... 2 pages of my agenda filled with Void but most of that stuff are shitty Tumblr-like doodles lmao
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think in my fan remake Void's going to say that to the gang not too long after he's defeated, of course once he gets his physical form back (I'm using a lot of Steven Universe rules with the Precioustone biology mainly due to how close they are with the main race from that show, though not ALL things line up)
Yeah eggman would be like "darn it, i've been foiled again!"
We all make mistakes, I wish I had a model veiwer that let me load void's texture on his model so I can just use the model reference.
Void is a good boy, he won't say heck.
Well at least you are drawing him so that's good.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Speaking about that, how come no one has done a Shuffle and SU crossover yet?
He's a precious boy who deserves no hate ;;

I've drawn Garnet and Illumina together and I saw on tumblr the crystal gems dressed as the Precioustone Gaurdians of the same name as them but nothing more.
I was planning on doing a fan fiction but seeing as sonic canonically exists as a video game franchise in the show's universe I thought it would muddle the fan fiction's message a little.
Protect the void child!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
At least people remember them ;v; If that's the only problem, you could do something like Sonic magically coming to the real world or something, idk
No but seriously, I hated how Lumina kept on dissing him even when he was around, when it was clear that he didn't understand why he was seen as the bad guy. Sometimes I just wanted to tell her to shut up or something ;~;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think my excuse will be something along the lines of "Maginaryworld has ties to other dimensions and Steven is from one where Sonic is fictional"
Yeah, I'm not a fan of Lumina either. I mean her design is nice, shame her attitude doesn't match.
I mean she doesn't even use the word accident correctly! I know that was mainly Sega's fault but she's the host of the party game section so I'm blaming her for that, it probably should of said something like "event"
To be honest it's almost as bad as the "genocide city zone" slip up from sonic 2, though then again maybe it's worse because sega actually fixed that mistake unlike the one in shuffle.
I found a song ages ago that I think fits Void, if I pitch shift it a little it even sounds like him. www.youtube.com/watch?v=5wG6qZ…
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That'd be such an interesting concept, maybe we could get to see how other dimensions worked ;v; She was probably mean to him because he didn't let her achieve absolute good, though at least Void did try to understand why she acted like that ("Is it something I did?") Oh, the first time I played I thought it made sense because I had just ran out of rings when the first accident happened, so I thought that must've been the trigger XD But I guess SEGA preferred to focus on other games since Shuffle wasn't that much of a success.
It does fit him, it would've been a really nice character song ;v; Honestly, I've always been a fan of those, I think they add more depth to the character in some way.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Seeing as the game is set in the dream world seeing other dimensions' dreamworlds would be neat but seeing how strange dreams are it would probably be hard to tell what is what.
I think Lumina is suffering memory issues, after she thought she worked along side Illumina like a right hand man.
I know one time a wrote alternate lyrics to the my little pony fan made song "lullaby for a princess" To fit closer to Lumina and Void, shame I lost the lyrics when my old computer died.
I did record a cover but it's pretty crap so I have it unlisted, if your unfamiliar with the song here is www.youtube.com/watch?v=byXQsU… (this is a version that has Luna sing as well as the original singer, this isn't the original version but it's the one I based my version off)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Now that I think about it, SEGA could've gotten some ideas from Shuffle (since they're both ambiented in a world of dreams) and gotten the idea of making nightmares necessary for the Night Dimension, so maybe NiGHTS would've just defeated him temporarily and we could've gotten the chance of a new game :'/
I did know the song, it's true it can match them by changing the lyrics a bit ;v; Btw it might take a long time for me to reply now since I'm spending the week at my grandma's place (where there's no wifi), so sorry about that ;~;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I know I came up with a fan made NiGHTS game concept where NiGHTS has to work under Illumina as punishment due to him killing Wizeman. Void was able to bring Wizeman and the nightmaren back from the dead due to his magic being almost exactly the same as wizeman's or something of the sort.
It's fine man, know the feeling
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
It'd be really cool if SEGA made a mash-up of those two games, but I doubt that's gonna ever happen ;<;
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Seeing how they've been treating NiGHTS like crap and banishing him to the "cameos only" zone forever that's a shame.
I have this headcanon that Wizeman was the one who made the precioustone and there is a huge backstory I made up on how that happened.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, it took 11 years for them to make JoD and it's been like 10 years since then so... Idk, we might get a new game soon, and they're even making figures (which look awesome btw)
How did it happen? I don't really get why he'd make it tho
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
like action figures or just statues?
It'd kind of a long head canon so I'll paraphrase.
In NiD's Japanese manual it mentions that wizeman was a visitor without their ideya (though it might've just been a translation error I'm still rolling with that idea because it's a good idea) but how did he lose it?
He was once a human named valdus twigale (twigale was my attempt at making an anti version of the name flowlight) who was a paranoid schizophrenic who often saw monsters and would hide in fear from people and would kill anyone who snuck up out of defense. Eventually the people had enough and banished him, Valdus then met a girl by the name of Ilene and she gave him the idea to make Maginaryworld. Together they traveled and they found the chaos emeralds and Valdus used the power of the chaos emeralds as well as his ideya to create the precocioustone, however the backlash of the emeralds put him into a coma.
The precioustone was designed to allow vistiors with Ideya to dream, however Valdus no longer had his as he used it up making the precioustone and then he got super salty about not being able to control the world he made.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
They're just statues, but they're very detailed and well made.
I actually really like your headcanon, I've always found Wizeman's past as a visitor interesting ;v; So I'm guessing Valdus decided to create another world (Nightmare) that he could control and since he was so mad about all of the Maginaryworld fuss he started stealing Ideya out of frustration?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Aw, I was hoping for action figures. or at least some new plushies
Yep, he made Nightmare and was like "well fine, if I can't dream no one can!"
