Can't believe sega has been hiding this Sonic concept art! Apparently there was a version of him named Roller the Pill Bug. I personally think going with an insect would've been a much more interesting choice, but what can you do? 🤷♀️ #sonicthehedghog #rollerthepillbug

IMPORTANT:
for the past 3 years, ive always been pained by the fact that ive never worked on what i really wanted to. today i decided that i should just be free to draw what i want. the clues have always been there about my fetish. "incest"? NO. INSECT. this is the real aarokira!
A quick little gift for @aliensphynx
This character was such a fun challenge to draw! ^w^ I've never drawn insects before, and although I struggled a bit on the face, I'm super happy with how it turned out anyway ;u;
