Description
I don't see much Emerl art out there....I vowed to myself to lay off Sonicness for a while and expand as an artist. However, with the new Dynasty Warriors Advance coming out, it made em get back into the GBA mode and hook up the SP. I stuck in Sonic Battle and proceeded to play the last few chapters. Folks, Sonic Battle has to be one of the best Sonic games to date....I enjoy fighting games and this has got the be the best story in both terms of being told and it's overall put-together-ness. We need more text dialogue Sonic games. So much more story and character development come from it.
Anyways, I hit one of the most emotional moments in Sonic history: the death of Emerl. Everyone is sad about this, even cold-hearted Shadowboy. Let's just hope Emerl STAYS dead so we don't have another Shadow Mystery on our hands. Plus, if he returns, it'll kill the mood of the Sonic Battle ending like Shadow's coming back killed SA2's ending COMPLETELY. I actually very much liked Shadow prior to his return.
This is another reason why I like Sonic so much: He can cry if he needs to. Sure, the animation in Batte is limited, but you could see it if you put your mind into the game and drama. Sonic is depicted in my image as how I saw him and Emerl....albeit I invisioned Emerl more beat up after taking a Sonic-pounding. Sonic can also get beaten up, as seen in the Shadow the Hedgehog E3 trailer. "Wait, a main character depicted as mortal?" Yes, folks. Sonic is awesome like that. He can show emotion, show pain, and not even need a female companion! He'll kick your ass and laugh when he's done.
....But back to the picture....
This took me about 2 hours to do. Since I don't have my scanner still, I drew and colored this on Macromedia Flash, then imprted it to Photoshop for editing and shading.
Homage to a favorite moment. Enjoy!
"Please... If there is anyone listening to my prayers...
...Bring hope to humanity...."

Saddest Sonic ending ever. I just feel like Dark Brotherhood ruined Sonic Battle a little bit.

One the most saddest endding in all Sonic Series. If sega can make a sading in the GBA, could they make a special video in that endding, you know a CGI cut scene. I say that would make it more sad. Your drawing makes a perfact spliting image of the events of Emerl's Death.

Amazing! I agree that Sonic Bttle was an uncharacteristically deep game. Can't count the hours I've spent playing it, the story is so good. The detail on Emerl's injuries is really well done.
Rest in peace, Emerl.

Emerl does come back, He returns in sonic advance 3 as Gemerl/Gemel/G-mel as Eggman rebuilt him.

no i don't think that was Emerl himself, I think that was just an advanced copy like "Phi" units from Sonic Battle. But they have suggested that he might come back in Sonic Chronicals. He had a codex entry and there are new gizoids in the game, so if i could just get past the point i'm at know, battles are too frustrating

such an amazing pic, you really did capture the mood of the moment well. I think there is potental for him to return though, I remember a new Chaos Emerald shard was made after emerl parished. So maybe they can find a way to bring him back. And He was a great character, I still play that game because I love watching him grow throughout the chapters

Emerl deserves more art, honestly.
And yes, I cried when I beat the game too. Amazing ending.
Oh, and I also agree with your description of Sonic! Spot-on.
Gorgeous pic, though, for as simple as it is. Really captures the mood of that scene.

Nice work. I remember Sonic was in total denial when Emerl went down.
BTW, are you the artist who did Mecha Sonic Reborn? I looked closely and noticed a resemblance.

Wow.
Just...Wow.
I felt like crying when I saw this. And Sonic battle is a very dramatic game in my eyes as well, If a game finds a way to make Shadow cry, then it's pretty emotional.
Instant fave.

Whoa...
You did an excellent job with this, bro! You did such an awesome job drawing Emerl, too. This is just how I thought this moment would look, with Sonic holding Emerl in his battered up state. You really captured the feeling.

Emerl does have a brother-rival (so to speak!) gemerl hes good now!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, but we don't exactly know the relation, now, do we? Could be a robot created by Eggman to mimic Emerl.
.....Or Sonic Team being lazy. Wouldn't doubt the latter.
