Description
Name: Fang the Sniper
Age: 22
Species: Wolf-Weasel Hybrid
Height: 4' 7"
Weight: 110 lbs.
Gender: Male
Alignment: Evil
Bio:
After discovering a way out of his home, The Special Zone, during the events of Sonic the Fighters, Fang made sure that he wouldn't never be trapped in that desolate place ever again, choosing to live on Earth instead. Since that last run in with Sonic and the gang prior, he's lived a life of luxury. Being a cunning thief and clever extortionist added to the vast fortune he had accumulated by the favored part of his job, being a gun for hire. He's worked behind the scenes to keep a low profile. His skill makes him a preferred choice to handle most hits, leaving only the mark of his work as a sign of the perpetrator. Money was no longer an issue, noticing the amount he had was more than enough to sustain him for the rest of his life, Fang settled down and stepped away from his blood-soaked career. Though, it wouldn't be long before his trigger finger felt that familiar itch of his past. His prayers seemed to be answered when he received a call one afternoon, describing the next big job. He thought that people had long forgotten about his work when he left the business. But the voice on the other end reassured him that they knew the hybrid far too well, letting him know that this next game was to be the most dangerous.
Personality:
Cold, conniving, not to mention blunt. Fang is always looking for the quickest and most efficient way to complete any task or get out of any predicament, even if it involves using the dirtiest tricks in the book to do it. He has a consistent attitude problem that leads to him throwing out the insults, not caring for the feelings of the victim. He's not very subtle either, if he has a problem with you, no matter how trivial, he'll state it outright, just because he can. He's cut throat and to the point, definitely a tough character that's best avoided.
Skills:
Firearm Mastery - Fang's always had a thing for guns, even back when he was much younger and had those toy popguns. Though he has "upgraded," since then. The money he's made went to arming himself to the teeth and has spent countless hours honing his ability with any type of weapon systems. However, his skill is most prominent in the use of long range weapons. Sniper rifles are the preferred method to take out his targets, but he also carries around two handgun sidearms for close combat, an automatic and a silver revolver. I guess old habits die hard...
Martial Arts - To accompany his knowledge of weapon systems, he's also skilled at hand-to-hand combat. You never know when or where you and enemy will meet on the battlefield.
Advanced Gadgetry - Similar to Tails, Fang owns a few pieces of sophisticated technology to aid in his hits. With the right amount of money, you can get anything. This includes thermal goggles, safe cracking kits, equipment for scaling large structures... even simple stuff like lockpicks are all part of his arsenal.
Other:
He carries around the equivalent to a Russian made Snayperskaya Vintovka Dragunova (SVD) or more popularly known as the Dragonov. He uses the high capacity model which also features a light amplifying night vision scope for those pesky night missions.
His attire is based off of the many cowboy movies he loves to watch, I guess he thinks it looks cool.

For some reason, this guy will always be called "Nack" to me. Maybe it's because "Fang" just seems like such an uncreative name and "Nack" always fit better for me?
I really like this redesign by the way.

I dunno, I always thought Fang fit better because of...well his fang there! Nack doesn't have a meaning from what I can tell. I'm a bit of purist that way. Besides we're always working with the game equivalent of him, so even his species is different making him a wolf/weasel hybrid and the comic version I believe is only a weasel.

Being a fan of Stephen King's Darktower series, with its lead Gunslinger character, I pretty much automatically like your version of Nack. (Gunslingers are like cowboy-knights, if you're not familiar - and SK's guy is more like your Nack than anyone chivalrous)
I like the pose, the hand positioning draws attention to his hat, and somewhat subtly, his gun. The gleaming gold decoration hints that he's not poor, despite the tattered cloak he's wearing. The facial expression suggests this isn't someone you'd want to mess with.
(... can't help but think he's still cute though - it doesn't really count as critique because I don't think it's possible for someone to draw a rat or weasel that I wouldn't find cute in some way. I've seen sewer rats depicted in horror movies and declared "aww, mousey!")

I'm familiar with the archetype, I just wasn't sure if it had an official name of anything. There are quite a few characters across different media that we based this design off of, that could easily be related to that description.
Also, remember that we're using Nack's game counterpart Fang. XD Sure, technically they're the same, but I think their stories are different as well as their species and what not.
In the description it does note that he's not poor by any stretch, I guess it does sort of clash that his clothes are in tatters, but I think I referenced that Fang has a affinity for cowboy movies and spaghetti westerns so he dresses to emulate them. I can't help but think of Revolver Ocelot when I say that though, seeing as he similarly liked cowboy movies and subsequently changed his primary weapon to a revolver, not only due to his innate gun fighting habits the he never noticed until Naked Snake pointed it out, but because he likes them as well. I do believe Fang has a bit of Ocelot's character in him, but other then the movie quirk, we didn't base too heavily off of him.

Now that's one cool design for Fang! The attire very well expresses that traveling-desert-assassin/gunman theme and the rough business he has, which is quite fitting for him.
About the drawing, I really like the way you made the thick-thin lines and his pose, nice work!

Hey thanks! That really means a lot coming from a great artist such as yourself. With Fang, me and ~zexous had a lot more creative license than with the rest of the cast. He's definitely one of SEGA least developed characters, so it gave us an opportunity to write what we felt would be a good story for him, and to make a design that fit that same story. It wasn't hard to make a cowboy/bounty hunter reference with his clothes and weapons, he already had that going for him. We just punched it up a bit to fit the aesthetic of Elips.
Though, you'll notice I did try to be as accurate as possible with what, "was," known about him from the games. Like, he still hails from the Special Zone, which was established in Sonic Triple Trouble, and how we assume that he probably stayed on Earth when he got out for the tournament in Sonic the Fighters. And of course, his personality is roughly the same from what we could gather from all the versions of him, the game version being are greatest inspiration. I definitely think this is the better of the profile pics done of the main cast for Elips. Now I just need to finish the rest!

You're very welcome!
I can see. Fang instantly caught my attention in the gallery from the other Elips characters. It's very nice to see him getting such thoughtful looks and detailed description/profile. I haven't read through all the games' info, but from what I can recall, this is indeed accurate. I'm happy to know the game version having the most influence instead of comic, since the game version of him is direct from the creators and not re-thought by comic writers.
Good luck!

Thanks! I'm glad you enjoyed it so much. :3
Yeah, me and ~zexous have a hard time using any concepts from the comics, they don't sit very well with us... I don't know, the concepts are just outright weird sometimes. So I'd rather use the game ideas and expand on that. Archie tries too hard to merge the old SatAM cartoon series with the games, and it ends up being a weird mish-mash of a bunch o' different ideas, concepts, and story lines, with inconsistencies abound, and doesn't make for a good narrative.
But either way, I hope you get the chance to follow the story when we finally have time to draw it out. ^^ Thanks for the support!

Not a problem, friend. Yeah, we're mostly drawing from the games for inspiration, characters, locations and the like, so hardly any concepts from the comics will appear. There are a few things that have been re-purposed in Elips that were once in the comic, and at times we use the comic for reference on certain locations that are elaborated upon in the games, namely the United Federation. XD

Oh, I meant to say "aren't elaborated upon," blah, I need to learn to proof read my messages better. XD
But anyway, I'm trying to do something a little different with this comic. It's almost like taking the games and the comics and merging them into a single medium, but it's not as cut and dry as that, there are certain things that I dislike about the Archie comics canon that won't be used, like wise there are things I dislike about the game's canon that will be left out too. It plays across different things, and I just hope the end product will be something people enjoy.

Okay, honestly? Those are the fags that are never satisfied, they want games that are tailor-made to their tastes, and if the game so much as slips up once, the whole thing is a piece of garbage. I HATE people like that, so I'm not even taking them into consideration, because they'll hate Elips no matter what I do. I'm just gonna run with what I got and then make something entertaining that the fans who don't have blinders on, will most likely enjoy.
