Description

ISSUE 176 cover attempt.
Love the cover of this issue.

well, where to start with this, i drew a sketch of this way back in 2009 but had no idea how to colour it due to inexperience. I managed to come across it when clearing out my laptop files and decided to have a crack at painting it one last time and i couldnt be happier with the result.

I love Sonic and i've always been a mad sonic nut, whether it be a sega megadrive or a gamecube or any other platform he was on i was playing the game. Unfortunately though his track record as of late hasnt really been upto scratch at all and im kinda disappointed that im watching my favourite childhood character be turned into a despised character thats churned out to take part in cheesy childish appealing games.

so a tribute to Sonic's better days and the dignity he still has in the comics :la: i really hope something is done about the quality of his games...

can't stand the smoke clouds in this, i had absolutely no idea what i was doing ^^;
anyways i'll rant more in the morning for now off to bed :)

EDIT* now back to my rant, i'm willing to write sega and or sonic team a letter outline what will make a good sonic game. It's about balance, balance between a sense of speed and also platforming, for those you think Sonic is all about a "sense" of speed, im making a massive assumption and saying that you didnt play a sega console version of Sonic the Hedgehog because if you did you would know that he wasn't running fast at all, it seemed like it but majority of the game involved platforming, not:
1. transforming into "warehogs"
2. running so fast that you only have .02 seconds to react to any command that pops up on the screen.
3. cheesy and or stupid voice actors that make him seem like a doped up moron. (WTF WAS WRONG WITH RYAN DRUMMOND???)
4. giving him EXCESSIVELY long spikes that would make him fall flat on his back because of the laws of physics.
(Sonic Unleashed had perfect length)
5. A single super sonic stage... I cannot stress this enough, half the fun was making sure you had 50 rings to go to a bonus stage to get a chaos emerald -_-' (NEVER. EVER. Do a Sonic Heroes and put a fkn key, W.T.F)

And Finally 6. Don't add anymore characters, plain and simple the more characters you add the more problems you have with a story due to needing a way to introduce them.
Look at Nintendo and Mario. The same thing always is being done: beating levels, beating castles, beating bowser, saving peach. AND IT WORKS!! the second you add a new character you have to add how they fit into the story. One thing i will never understand is why characters like Sally Acorn, Bunny Rabbit and rotor were left out of the games even if they weren't playable atleast have them part of the storyline??

RANT END.
