Description Right, well last year when I was at Summer of Sonic, I had the chance to meet for a second time.
We had a brief chat, and he was as pleasant as ever , Nigel's work is always amazing, and he has been kind enough to give me help and advise in the past on my inking and colouring.

Anyway a result of this meeting was this picture of Knuckles Wearing a Poncho (ala STC 69 The Graveyard spot the background references again.)

I loved this picture , so i've inked it and coloured it, as well as added a background which, Nigel didn't have time to do on the day (not a complaint at all).
It's been great working on Nigels Pencils, but really nerve racking, I'm sure I've made a lot of mistakes. In fact I've started this from scratch three time and left it for weeks at a time. because I'm worried i'll muck it up.

Any way Pencils by Nigel Dobbyn who is awesome.
Ink's and Colours and background By Myself.

based on a characters by Sega,
That appeared in Sonic the Comic, the British Sonic Comic, during the 90's

STC Knuckles is by far (for me at least) the definitive portrayal of the character, in that he's not hotheaded and gullible. I'd even go so far to say he was the best character in the comic (tied with Grimer). I actually found him pretty relatable to an extent.

His solo stories were also amongst my favourites, and Dobbyn's artstyle is virtually synonymous with them.

Thanks yeah I still love both Dobbyn's art style and his and Nigel Kitchings version of Knuckles, i'd certainly agree that for me those stories are my definitive idea of Knuckles.

There was also a real magic and depth to the painting style Dobbyns used.


It's been brilliant picking through Dobbyns thoughts and feeling about his work at the last couple of summer of sonics.

Man, that long journey was my favorite Knuckles arc ever. When I was little, the sight of him walking into a saloon wearing a deputy's badge gave me my first ever coffee-spew moment...although it was blackcurrant juice.

I remember this story! He needed to reforge the Master Emerald after a robot guardian absorbed the energy of the last emerald when it broke, but the ghosts of triceratops troubled him.

You have great inking / detail skill - that [gorgeous] dusk sky bg to Knuckles in the foreground really shows a nice amount of depth too.

Thank you very much.
I hope so to, i'm hoping he'll be at Summer of Sonic again this year, I mean I grew up with Nigel's Knuckles artwork as a kid.. in fact I have two of his signed comic pages on my wall,
you can see the way each panel was painted, It's a shame not many artists use traditional paints anymore, there something special about having his painted pages.
