Description
Commission asked for me to redesign SatAM Robotnik. I was interested, mostly due to one thing- I really, really, really don’t like SatAM Robotnik, in neither design nor personality.So I took the assignment as I did with Naugus beforehand- with a bit of artist arrogance of “Ok, how can I do this better? How can I make this fat man in pyjamas work?” Then I remembered Richard Elson’s amazing Robotnik from the end of Sonic the Comic, and that was the jumping point. I tried keeping the colour groups roughly the same, but overall changing Robotnik to a more militaristic scientist look.
Belongs to SEGA.

i need to ask, what personality do you think robotnik should have? with this design, what personality, and mannerism's would you make him have.

Hey, I am curious. With YOUR satam redesign, how would YOUR drawing of robotnik here behave? Be menacing but a bit neat and petty? Or have a few interesting quirks as well as being a typical tyrannical overlord?

Well, SatAM's? The idea is that it's basically the joyless Doctor Doom ripoff from SatAM instead of the fun boisterous Eggman from the games. So he'd be sitting in chairs, growling, and pressing buttons.

oh, satam robotnik was funny sometimes, and the rare scenes he was goofy where even funnier, in sharp contrast with him being scary. your rendition looks very vain, and a bit of a neat freak.

your design has a more stylish look to it, so i envisioned him being a dark overlord but having a sense of humor.

Nice! I agree, he should have thicker arms. I love the outfit, expression, and the fact cluck looks like a robot chicken and not a demonic pterosaur basilisk from hell, And i also see that sonic boom eggman took influence from this, with the screen on the arm. I'd have given him a bigger head to accommodate the 300 I.Q brain of his, though. But i see a lot of personality here. Btw, it is sad that sonic boom made eggman LOOK cool, but made him more of a peace-pusher, and not the detestable baddie i grew up with in the games.

I'd rather redesign him to look more like his video game counterpart

The chinless spaghetti limbed dildo nosed clown from the games? With those golden nipples?

I love this redesign. I love the fact that you know of the amazing Richard Elson's work in StC. That was my youth right there.
This really is a great looking Robotnik. I just want to use him in a cartoon, not that I'm in a place that I can.
His robotic 'chicken' lol could also act as his eyes in the skies...right?

Do it. Do a redesign of Robotnik once more, pulling it closer to Elson as you say. I'd LOVE to see that. But what I'd also like to see from you is a Elson inspired take on Eggman Nega, NOW THAT would be awesome.

I believe I had an AoSTH Robotnik Nega somewhere around my sketches, hardcore it and you'd get an Elson Nega

That's a shame. I feel like if stco does do it then it may not be for years lol. Ah well, here's hoping u get a mad case of the doodles at some point and draw a stc nega robotnik lool

as a friend of mine said ''this design voiced by john noble and given heat vision, tolarence of being in outta space and freeze breath and nano tech, and a dissorent serenity and a thouroughly deadpan sense of humor and rare fat joke thrown in, and that will be the peak of eggman/robotnik evoloution.''

if only if they had used this design along with someone like John noble or Kevin Michael Richardson or Corey burton to voice him in a Subtle Gentleman like way and it is way better than the lame version we got

Heh, thanks! Despite it all one year after I think I'd do some stuff differently, but I still like this design in the end.

this is so the design they should have used in the cartoon

I am somewhat reminded of Dilbert's Boss. The hard edges of the arms and head look a bit out of place on the huge smooth-shaded body. Man, Robotnik is really fat (or maybe he just has a super wide frame?). He looks relatively approachable, but I'd probably start running if I made him mad.

Well I"ll be damned, Middle Ground group still kicking on here after all. Good.
