Sonic OC Maker

Plan a Sonic OC with animal ears, a tail, bold fur color and the right shoes. Human-style version.

Skin tone

Sonic OCs are some of the oldest fan characters on the internet. The recipe is well known: pick an animal, give it a strong fur color, spiky hair or quills, expressive eyes and a pair of memorable shoes.

An honest note first. Sonic characters are anthropomorphic animals, and this maker draws human-style characters with animal ears and tails. Use it to design a human or gijinka version of your OC and to settle the colors, outfit and attitude before you draw the animal form.

Pick the species and the color together

In this style the species is shown by ears and tail, and both follow the hair color. One color change recolors the whole animal.

Fox: Fox ears and Fox tail. Orange, yellow or silver.
Cat: Cat ears and Cat tail. Purple and black are classic choices.
Rabbit: Bunny ears and Bunny tail with a soft palette.
Hedgehog or echidna: no matching ears here, so use Spiky hair with Messy spikes for the quills and keep human ears.

Attitude, shoes and one accessory

Sonic designs read through attitude. Sharp eyes and a Smirk give the confident hero look. Angry brows and a Frown make a rival. Round eyes and an Open grin suit the cheerful sidekick. Shoes are a signature item in this series, so give them their own bright color. Finish with one accessory: a Scarf, Headphones or Sunglasses.

Write the ability before you draw

Most Sonic characters fit a type: speed, flight or power. Decide which one your OC is, then let it guide the design. Speed characters are lean with streamlined hair. Flight characters often have wings or large ears. Power characters carry heavier boots and bolder shapes. A one-line ability keeps the design focused.
