Description I've now made peace with the rock joke.

Hidden Palace inspiration drawn more from the scrapped Sonic 2 version of the zone. And now we hold our collective breath and hope Knuckles, once again arrives better late than never.

EDIT: Added some shadows where there were not shadows before.

These pages look so fine! You captured the spirit of the Sonic games so well. And Knuckles and the female echidna look awesome.
Very dinamic style!

Wow. Ruby is plenty kill friendly, isn't she? Kinda reminds ya of how Knux used to be. You know, dropping people into pits and rolling crystal boulders down on them. The whole "I don't like you, get off my land before I shoot you!" approach.

... although there's no reason I should expect less right? You don't need me to tell you how excellent this whole comic is coming out, but I will anyway. This is kickass! I like the rock joke, and IMO you always drew the best Mighty in the Archie series. That's (sadly) how I became a fan

Excellent stuff! Can't wait to read the rest You're Ruby's a tough one, just how I like 'em!

dawnbest In reply to chibi-jen-hen [2006-02-14 23:11:29 +0000 UTC]

Mighty was, for the longest time, my favorite Sonic character. I don't know why. Maybe because I always pictured him the way I'm now portraying him... a complete asshole.

Hah, anyway, I had alot of practice with him, as his shell makes him one of the more difficult characters to get right and recognizable, let alone badass. I'm all about the badass angle.

More rock jokes please! *SHOT* Goodness this is the first time I've ever seen the other Team Chaotix members getting their ass kicked! LOL! XXXD A very interesting thing to see. ^^

Aw wow that was an awesome read! = ) I checked out your 6 pages of the Ruby comic (including Pg.10 inked and uncoloured) and it's looking great thus far!

Roughly how many pages are you aiming for in this story? It's fantastic to see a Sonic Archie comic series done at your own pace and freedom! The deadlines can really get you in a stir when it comes to remembering why you drew those comics in the first place - and that is to have fun and have a professional product completed at the same time. ^^

Checking out your drawing style (this includes a compilation of techniques such as panneling, lineart etc..) combined with the use of your own dialogue gives the story a nice touch of personality.

Please keep up the awesome and original work Dawn Best, I'll be checking out your new pages soon after you've complete them. *thumbs up*

Gargh! And how rude of me to forget about the colouring job. Excellent job on the colouring and shading on each of the comic pages. I assume you're using Adobe Photoshop to help add life to those comics? = ) Or could it be Illustrater? XD ^^ Nevertheless keep it up!

Excellent! Awesome comic page, Dawn. Knuckles better get in there, before Ruby pounds him into next year. I like how well you pace the action in each panel and uses their eys and poses of each character to add to the action and suspense. Rudy would belong
in the Sonic universe.

Ah yes, the actual Hidden Palace was so much nicer than the remake later; I still miss having a complete zone.
Really nice coloring on all of the crystals, only peeve would be where she grabs Espio and it seems like she's staring a the floor. Though I'm not sure where I would look if I were going after someone invisible. O_o; Can't wait for the hopefully-soon-to-be-coming battle. ^-^

Altima-Weapon [2006-02-14 05:27:35 +0000 UTC]

I love the way you do the eyes, especially in close ups of Ruby. They convey a great deal and really catch one's attention. It's what really seperates your style from being just another Archie or Fleetway clone. *Devwatches and hopes for more quality comics to come*

Awesome. I love love love looking at stuff they removed from games. A lot of the times, you gotta wonder why, 'cause some of the stuff they take out of these things are more awesome than the stuff that IS in there! Thank you!

Ooooh that dame is one NASTY piece of work. I'm with Mighty on the rock thing. Bash her good!

Great colouring work, again. And awesome pannel set up. I suppose working with Archie really teaches you a lot about that sort of thing.
