Description
Okay, here's a little something something I've been working on. I'm actually quite happy with this work, though I would change a few thing. Sonic, Tails, Rouge, and two thirds of the Knuckleses came out very well I think. Wish I could say the same for the two Knuckles's in frames 3 and 4.This joke has been meandering around in my head for a few years now. Arguably it could have been funnier after Sonic Adventure came out (what with Knux getting tricked by Eggy AGAIN), or even his intro episode in Sonic X, but I wanted to be able to capture everything This joke needed to show. Sadly, the screenshot I wanted to show off Robotnik stealing the emeralds was not available (the one of him juggling said emeralds because the player failed to collect the Chaos Emeralds), but this one works. My favorite here is the close up of Knuckles's face in the fifth panel,
I can't but crack up as I look at it. Well, like I've always said, please leave any comments you have. I can't improve if I don't hear from anyone. Knuckles, Rouge, Sonic, Tails, and Eggman all (c) to Sega

very nice; knuckles nievity in the games always annoyed me playing sonic 3 as a kid (more because my cousins wouldn't explain why one of the protagonists in Sonic and Knuckles was such a jerk in Sonic 3; my cousins got 3 shortly after finishing two and it seemed a personal affront for him to steal the emeralds like that
anyway, I had a quick question; your art piece reminded me of a promotional poster that was released about the Sonic3/Sonic and Knuckles time. (I think it was in a shoe store at the time.) it had sonic and Knuckles hanging off Robotniks hovercraft, robots in the background, sonic possibly ripping off panels, and Knuckles hitting the good doctor hard enough in the lip to make him bleed. I highly doubt it was fanart (back then, a full glossy poster print, in a store, within a week or so of the games release.) but finding anything remotely like it on the net these days is a bit difficult...
have you ever seen anything like this floating around?
thanks
Lynx.
P.S. I came here looking for updates on your ff.net website; any chance the next chapter of any of your wonderful fanfics is to be released shortly?

No, can't say I've seen that particular picture. Sorry. It sounds awesome. If you have the inclination, you might check out a few of the official Japanese Sonic sites. I imagine a scan of it is probably on one of them. You know the rule of the internet; "NOTHING gets thrown away." Its out there somewhere, I'm sure of it, probably just buried.
I'm actually hard at work on the next chapters of both Reversion and Enriched by the Heart, though my workload is getting a bit busy in the real world. Stay tuned and hopefully one or the other should be up at the end of the month/beginning of the next. Ciao for now.

Its thanks to crappy shows like sonic x and segas terrible writing over the past 5 years that people think of knuckles this way.

It doesn't help that his rather high level of pride and refusal to admit he is wrong makes it very fun to do this to him.

Like I said, Knuckles is that way in retarded shows like sonic x. If you remember SA2 and Sonic Heroes, you'll understand how mis-guided your comic is.

While it is true that Sonic X took Knuckles's character to a rather absurd level (at least at first (most likely as a nod to SA1 and Sonic 3), he actually lost a lot of gullibility as the series progressed, though that was replaced with hard-headedness) it should be noted that him getting tricked by Robotnik during his first appearance is as iconic for him as his strength and big fists. To be fair, the final part where he begins spouting nonsense while pretending he wasn't to blame for being duped seems pretty in character for the red echidna (pride is supposed to be his flaw). I do remember SA2 and Sonic Heroes, but I would point out that at that point he had been in the series for quite a while and was being replaced as Sonic's rival (Shadow). By no means was this comic meant to be the "whole" story as it were, merely a funny jab at a character in a series where egos tend to run rather rampant amongst the cast.

You shouldn't be embracing how poorly conceived sonic x is with this comic anyway.

Honestly I'm not, I'm just giving the most likely reasons behind his portrayal on the show. I didn't like Sonic X all that much either for my own reasons (Sonic's sidekick is NOT a prepubescent, whiny, little spoiled brat with more money than sense). This is more a friendly jab at the Knuckles that was from his original appearances (You may note that the screen grabs are all from Sonic 3 & Knuckles and nowhere else). And you must admit it did take him a full two games to figure out the guy unloading weapons of mass destruction on his island to deal with a single hedgehog and his companion might not be on the up and up. (In fact, if I recall, didn't Robotnik try to kill him at the end of Sonic 3 and then again at the end of Sonic & Knuckles). He's a funny character, so he deserved a funny joke.

Nah, Robotnik's just that deviously deceptive.
By the way, LOVE the icons.

This is...very much Knuckles for me. Such a sweetheart but such an innocent. X3 I had to share it with Nikki. She loled too.

Yeah, someone ought to tell him that his fly is down.
Just kidding. 
One suggestion I have for drawing all the character is to make their heads a little bigger and their torsos smaller. Look at some official game art and I think you'll see what I mean.

I just like the idea that he makes the connection and yet still hasn't realized the exact scenario he now wants to prevent happened to him. I think we're talking different layers of dense here (or too much pride to admit he was fooled).
The problem with your suggestion, at least from my POV, is that when I do that either the characters' bodies lose the details I like to put in them and their limbs become too noodly (okay, I know they are noodly, but still), or their heads start taking up too much of the picture. I had a devil of a time here trying to keep Sonic and Knuckles from looking like they were kissing in the second panel. Still I am trying to get the fine control to shrink the bodies without doing the heads. But thanks for the suggestion, that's exactly the type of feedback I'm looking for to improve.
