The drawing thread

[Kyriakos]

 

[Takhisis]

Wow. How did you learn to draw using Inkscape? Any tips?

Spoiler :

Not entirely finished, but getting there.

This project almost died, but I reasoned it was time to get off my butt and use my term break to draw s'more.

I have made an error one too many times - I keep drawing Sonic with his gloves. He doesn't get those until later. Much later.

The SWATbots look too plastic-y for my tastes but meh.

To come: likely some yummy concept drawings.

 

[Takhisis]

Why does he *have* to bare his chest like that?

 

[Tee Kay]

'cause.

 

[Heretic_Cata]

And why is he doing a crotchgrab in the last panel ? To stop it from making noise ?
I guess i realized why you blanked out the last panels tho.

Someone's been listening too much Jackson music .

 

[Tee Kay]

No, not that.

He's a furry. Clothes are tools of bourgeois oppression.

It does look a bit like that doesn't it.

Ah well.

Suddenly relevant.

Grimer's formal profile for SS.

I can't draw him quite as evilly as the StC artists could; he looks like he could be a hero if he wanted to to me.

Spoiler Description :

Name: Gabriel von Grimer
Birth: Day 12, 1170; Adlerburg, Avian Empire
Height: 5'4''
Abilities: Genius, Resourceful, Observant
Personality: Loyal to and extremely defensive of Robotnik; polite(except to rebels); whatever Robotnik wishes him to be

History: Gabriel was born during the Avian-Vichama War to the noble von Grimer family. His father, a general, was assassinated by Vichama forces when he was but 5 years old.

While he had all the wealth and material goods a child could wish for, Grimer's mother never re-married, and he thus spent most of his childhood without a father figure.

Of noble birth, however, he sought to do both his heritage, and the father he was deprived of, proud. He excelled in any subject he studied, and would eventually become one of the Empire's top scientists, primarily working in the field of medicine. He became interested in the powers of medicine and herbs due to the fact his mother was carried off when he was twenty by a horrible pandemic.

During the Great War, however, things went downhill. The Battle Kaiser, ever more paranoid, sought to purge the government of all humans, as the humans under Robotnik threatened the sovereignity of all Mobius. Grimer escaped death and retreated into obscurity.

When the smoke cleared, the Avian Empire was in ruins and being carved up into a variety of free provinces and zones, all under the direct or indirect rule of the Robotnik Empire.

Grimer was quick to emigrate from his old home and to the new hyperpower in 1204. Due to his resume, Grimer's opportunities were rather closed - the great Robotnik saw little use in medicine or anything biological. He was sent to study plant life in the Palmtree Panic Zone.

Herr Grimer would have never been heard of again, if not for his important discoveries. Discovering a reservoir of Chaos Energy gushing from the soil, he began to devote his spare funding and time to researching it. Using his knowledge of machinery, he even perfected a means of changing between the two types... yellow, green, red, blue.. if it could be thought of, he could make it!

With his discovery, he rushed to report this to Robotnik, his idol. He had to go through a middleman first, however, the highest authority in Segesni - Elias Acorn. During their meeting on day 179, 1207, he spotted a rebel spy, the resulting firefight destroying several vats worth of energy and thus all his hard work. He was able to protect himself from death with a specially-designed briefcase capable of projecting a Chaos Shield.

Elias survived, however, and from there, Grimer was sent to the Emperor himself. Grimer has been working for Robotnik ever since. He is fanatically loyal, and will do whatever he can to crush the resistance, particularly this new upstart, this "Sonic."

It remains to be seen what kind of cow he will have when he discovers he is directly responsible for the creation of his master's worst enemy.

The Fleetway forums will likely eat me alive for my re-imagining of this character, but whatever.

Now an attempt at funsies. Bit of backstory: Oroborous is my personification of the "Good Super Sonic" from Fleetway(a stark contrast to the evil Super Sonic usually seen). As in the comic universe, he is a pacifist and fearful of using chaos-based abilities.

He donned the name Oroborous to disassociate himself from Super - the demon - and Sonic - the hero. An attempt to be his own person. And this is what happened.

[Takhisis]

The mouth's not right in that last frame.

The mouth's not right in that last frame.

How so?

Poor lil Oro is sadfaced that even when he tries to make himself look cute and peaceful he still has some negative features that can't be rid of!

Spoiler :

At. Freaking. Last.

Finally getting over schoolwork and laziness, it is done. Page 2.5.

Now for two games:

Spot the Retcon: Can you tell what's different canonically here than in other pages?

Spot the Reference: Can you spot the reference to Sonic the Comic in this page?

 

[Tani Coyote]

Flyingchicken, I don't know whether your imagination is amazing or scary at times. XD

Looks like he walked off the set of Twilight, but whatevs.

Spoiler :

Name: Unknown (has adopted the pseudonym of "Lightning Lynx"

Age: Unknown - given the tendency of Raiju to be in their prime up to their 50s, there's no telling how old he could be!

Weight: 152 lbs

Height: 4'4''

Personality: Chivalrous, Vindictive

Abilities: Stealth, Knowledge of most weapons(and capability to learn them quickly), Incredible speeds of up to 300 mph, supermobian strength

Background: Not much is known of Lightning Lynx. He was once a member of the Raiju tribe of warriors in the Dragon Kingdom. It is not known why someone of such great strength(strength equating to rank in Raiju society) would leave. Most assume he was banished.

However, he has gained particular renown as a freelance assassin, regularly choosing targets capable of giving him a challenge and pursuing them relentlessly. Most terrifying, he rarely makes use of weapons in this pursuit. While he does use some of the usual ninja arsenal to support his infiltration, in actual combat, he prefers the lethality of his body.

He would eventually wind up working for Robotnik of his own accord - considering himself the fastest, strongest individual on Mobius, he immediately assigned Sonic as his own target. While the dictator has naturally sought the lynx's talents for his arsenal, Lightning detests mercenaries, considering them without honor as they switch allegiance based on material goods.

...despite this, he ends up working with Robotnik's assembled group of mercenaries frequently. He often butts head with Nack the Weasel, presumptive head of the group, not just over the latter's leadership but the fact they conflict morally.

Lightning is a true-blooded Raiju. Whether youthful naivette or a strong sense of values, he believes in the ethics of honor, valor, courage, and loyalty. He will not attack an opponent incapable of defending themselves, and often uses non-lethal force on those not in his league. He never lies, believing only a coward has need to hide from the truth.

With regards to relationships, he shares the Clan's perception of weakness as social inferiority. However, he maintains a vestige of the old Raiju ethics - those at the top aren't meant to exploit those at the bottom, but to lead them and care for them. In turn, those at the bottom shall owe those at the top their allegiance. Lightning doesn't have any friends as he considers all individuals weaker than him, and friends must be equals.

Lightning views breaking one's word as an ultimate dishonor, and those who betray him will face his full wrath.

With decades of experience, mastery of his high speed capabilities and a willingness to look death in the eye, he is a fierce warrior, and all who cross him shall regret it.

Spoiler :

Hmm. Dislike the second to last panel. It wasn't quite the effect I was hoping for - I imagined that by switching the blur, I'd be able to show that Sonic's going so fast he's left an after image. (So those lasers won't phase him)

Ah well, mistakes are good as they let you learn.

Onto the next page...

 

[Tani Coyote]

Looks good, FC!

Spoiler :

Originally I drew Sonic with his gloves on AND posted it. What an embarrassment.

I decided to go for fewer, larger panels to squeeze in more line quality capability.

 

[cardgame]

Something I made with a hybrid of PDN and MSP

Ruby-pommeled sword, fresh with blood. Criticism welcome, I don't have a clue what I'm doing.

The blue is inlaid sapphire.

 

[Takhisis]

I like your drawings but manly Sonic isn't the real Sonic. I could swear you've got some plumber blood in there Tani.

 

[Tani Coyote]

try as I might, I can't get Sonic's style right. It'll prove loltastic when Classic Sonic debuts as such, as any semblance of anatomy is thrown out the window.

==

Anyway:

Lighting and camera are crap. I use a video recorder so the picture is never super on this.

Hahahaha get it because it features Super Sonic and hahaha... ha... shut up. >:C

Super doing what he does best - raining mayhem on all those squares. He has crushed a bug and is getting way too much enjoyment out of it. Well, Mobian, machine, bug. They all squish easy. HEEHEHEHE

I notice his right glove doesn't have nails ripping through it. His right shoe also looks odd. Oh and his buckles are on the wrong sides of the shoes.

This was done on an 18x24'' paper.

Fleetway Super rules~
