My friends, welcome to Reign like you've never seen him before:

Reign Unleashed

Yes, this is the big update I've been waiting to unveil for the past few days. And now, it's here.

This started out as a simple sketch in my notebook. Nothing too fancy, just a drawing that was inspired after having whooped some serious tail in Brawl with Sonic and a lightsaber. Having worked on the previous Johnny Test update gave me new incentive to want to go even further. Then I got thinking: What if I could amp up Reign like I've never done so before? Something of my very own to show who I believe Reign stands for. A full envisioning of giving Reign the justice he deserves besides the random Oekaki sketches of him found throughout my gallery. Something that demonstrates who Reign really is in my eyes. In my mind, although he can be snarky and full of himself sometimes, Reign is a warrior of sorts who goes above and beyond to live the thrills of life's adventures. Who doesn't stop for a moment in order to get the most out of life, and if ever, to lend a helping hand to his friends. I wanted to show Reign's cool side, but something a bit more action-packed than my usual offerings. Needless to say, this is definitely one of more dynamic updates--one where I learned new techniques, learned more about Reign...and hey, maybe even a little more about myself. XP As you can see here, this is Reign totally unleashed, ready to kick some ass and take some names. Here he sports a slightly, yet not overly revamped look: He's got a new pendant hanging from his neck, his gloves are now fingerless, his black jeans are slightly more detailed, and his sneakers are a bit more detailed as well. Other than that, it's still the same old Reign, only back and better than ever before. Inspired in part by a combination of Brawl, Sonic Unleashed, and obviously Star Wars...and also, by a lot of my great friends here, from both NSider whom I've known for the past few years now...to my newest friends that I've made on here. You've all believed in me from the start and have shown me what I am truly capable of. It's something inside of me that I couldn't of realized without all of you. Truly, I feel this is my greatest, if not possibly one of the greatest, things that I have ever shared with all of you.

I would love to do something of this sort again in the future if I ever get around to it, maybe with Koopser and if I'm lucky, maybe even Maji, my newest addition. I know there's a lot of great interpretations of Reign done by my many great friends that are ten million times better than this is, but I wanted something of my very own that at least lived up to the kind of high quality standard that you all tend to live by throughout your art. But for now, this is one dream I've finally made a reality. And I couldn't of done it without you guys.

To my friends, I dedicate this to all of you. Reign. Is. Unleashed. XP

Hope you all enjoy it as much as I do.

Oh, hah, you noticed I made this my featured deviation. Thanks for noticing, hah.

Now that I have a wide flatscreen monitor, this picture (along with a lot of my other ones) look so small compared to how big they seemed to me when I was working on them my old monitor, hah.

Well, thank you. I appreciate it!

Thanks man! Heh, I was aimimg for badass...as badass as I could get, anyway.

Hm...I never really thought about that. XP I do know that if Reign gets angry, or angry enough, he has a set of sharp fangs that come out...though he can force 'em out himself rather painfully if he wants to on other occassions.

Sometimes I feel so selfish not getting to see everybody elses artwork. I mean, to tell you the truth, I kinda get mad missing out on some off this awsome stuff. I wish I wasn't so busy so I can comment on everyone's art work. >_<

Very nice indeed! ...for sure one of your best works so far. Seeing this kinda makes me want to make a Tuler/Tairu inspired Sonic character D': you TEMPT ME SO! 8D

X3 Did you design the sword Reign is holding? Because it's a really cool design. I like it a lot o.o. It's all so cool >.
I CAN HAS MOAR REIGN PLZ?! O3O

Bowser81889 In reply to superTULER [2008-10-08 04:27:28 +0000 UTC]

Dude, thank you so much! Hearing that from the master himself is seriously one of the coolest things ever. XP This is something that I've longed to do for a really long time, ever since I created Reign but couldn't do him the kind of justice I wanted for him. Even to this day others have done him much more justice than I could ever do...even for what you see here. I've tried different styles from Oekaki to my horridly failed attempts with almost a shiny almost "anime" approach almost similarly to how you do your artwork...so meh...I trashed them.

...And dude, Arb said the exact same thing. O_O He credited me as being the one to give him the idea to "Sonicfy" his Alex fursona ever since I did it myself for our art trade, which I think is really honorable. With you and the case of a Tuler/Tairu Sonic character, now that would be epic. XP I'd love to see that if you ever decided to.

As for his sword design, yep, that was all me. Was going for that lightsaber kind of look, but not completely as I wanted to incorporate some more simplified, "medieval" elements such as the emblem and the hilt. So it's almost like a perfect combo. And just hearing that from you...wow...gives me goosebumps. XD I seriously love and enjoy your comments.

YES, the world needz moar Reign. I'd draw him more, but for me the Sonic style is so complicated and I usually fail, hence why most of his art he gets are either requests or gift art. XP And with that in mind, I wanted to do something for Reign of my very own like I've never done before.

...Phew, really long comment. @__@ Sorry about all that...

But again, really man, thanks a ton dude. I couldn't of reached where I am at today without the help and support of tremendously awesome friends such as yourself. It's a pleasure, and an honor, to have you as my friend.

an nifty further step with the improvement on all kind of partzzies on yér charac here can i honestly say , sush as mroe accurate glisten details, the dynamic pose and creative glam-lookin' design.

The expanded glow effects which surrounds him too is a great touch which lettin' one imagine what powers the laser-sword gives P: . Nice workzors mate!

Hey DaXXe! Nice hearing from ya again!

Wow, that was definitely one of the coolest comments anyone's ever given me. It means a lot that you enjoyed this, and your detailed feedback is much appreciated. XP I tried a few new techniques, and it seems they really paid off.

And yeah, I wanted to kind of present Reign as a 'rockstar' of sorts, since he has that kind of personality. Hence the more detailed look and blingy design to go with the duds he's got on and the action pose.

Anyway, thanks a lot man. You rock and rule. \m/ And I gotta thank you for being such a great friend and for all your support. Really, thanks a ton. XP
