From Sonic the Fighters (albeit decades after its actual release), it's Honey the Cat! Based on the character of the same name from Fighting Vipers, she wasn't playable in the original arcade game but present in the game's code, later finished up for inclusion in the Xbox 360 / Playstation 3 port and the version included in Lost Judgment as an arcade game. She even showed up in the Archie comics! Her design's really cute, although I've taken a few liberties here, taking her fur colour from the arcade game rather than the more yellow Archie version and adding elements from the original Honey. Cute, huh?

From Puyo Puyo Sun, it's Witch! Unfortunately, her traditional witch garb is not a great pick for the warm summer months, especially if Satan is making the sun bigger to guarantee tropical weather. Poor little thing, I hope she's keeping hydrated! Anyway this is basically what I turn into when the weather's a little too hot.

From Mega Man Zero, it's the scientist Ciel! The Mega Man collections have been on deep discount on Switch lately, perfect timing for me just starting to dip my toes in the series. This means I've finally given the GBA Zero games a brief try, and what I can tell you now is Ciel's three-frame walk animation in the first game is pretty funny. Cute design too, I was doomed to draw her.

From Capcom's Power Stone, it's Rouge! There's bits of her design from the second game too (the heart-shaped braid clip and the dagger) just because. The character designs in Power Stone are pretty striking and memorable (I've drawn Ayame in the past) but Rouge in particular is a favourite... Although I actually mostly missed out on Power Stone back in the day outside of a little time with the second game. Playing the PSP collection on-stream was fun though!
