Description OH MY GOD. At long last...

Hey, I moved across the country, so what do you expect? Next to last page of the comic. I already have ideas for the next one. Free time seems to be coming to me on a somewhat regular basis, too. So that's good. @.@

Anyway, here Ruby explains where she comes from. Kinda shady, but ehhh... whatcha gonna do. The idea to include Robotnik was my own decision. Eggman isn't much of a villain, he just doesn't do it for me when it comes to bad guys, so that's a nod to the Sonic adventures I love. Which, I hope, this whole comic has been alluding to. One more page to go, and perhaps some previews of things I got on the brain, for the next one.

EDIT: Changed up Robotnik's suit a bit

Leave it to ol' Ivo to screw things up back in the day eh? (If you're going by the Archie comic-line that is...which I assume you would be ^_^; ) Anyway, great twist! Can't wait for more!

Any chance of an appearance from a certain purple weasel?

Welcome back Dawn, wondering where you went off too. Good as always, but somebody already nailed the rushed look of this, oh well. And I also want to pet Ruby now... but I'm afraid she'd bite me! *chomp* YEOW! WHY YOU LITTLE!!

Cool! Have you heard about the new white hedgehog on Sonic PS3?
Many here were calling him "Terion," but I think his offical name is "Sliver."
I'm not sure yet. I just found this out from another DA artist.
I seriously don't know if that name is offical or not, but I'll have to check with him later...

Shadowpillar [2006-05-07 07:15:51 +0000 UTC]

Eggman is more of the guy who pisses everyone off and wreaks havoc on everyone, and sonic has a big bone to pick. After all he really isnt a bad bad guy, just more or less an evil scientist who's a bit loopy (and naturally dreams of taking over the world) and ends up having his own plans fail or backfire on him. (like when he tries to control chaos, or shadow, or his own creations he makes too powerful and go out of control)

Whilst robotnik is pretty much eggman, but at a more advanced stage (where he actually has control of the world)

anyway, as usual, I love the art, though eggman looks REALLY huge (height-wise) compared to ruby. My only gripe.

Though that scene would make for a funny caption:
"I'M HIGHER ON THE FOOD CHAIN! GET IN MAH BELLEH."

dawnbest In reply to Shadowpillar [2006-05-09 17:06:24 +0000 UTC]

Indeed. And I rather like to do size comparisons with the characters, as it just gives me more to think about, and makes the viewer take notice a bit more. You'll often see me pairing big things with little ones, just to show off my perception of difference in size. Cuz I can.

DangerousRadical [2006-05-07 06:05:58 +0000 UTC]

The more I see Ruby, the more I fall in love with her character. The other dimension thing is reminiscent of oldskool Archie, which is a good thing considering what's been down with it of late. I find myself hoping there are oldskool fans trying to keep that feel and that energy of the non-soap opera-type storyline alive. You're definitely one of them.

And I love how you do such smooth and simplistic CGing/shading. It brings out a feel for the old classicness of what Archie Comics were way back when. That's always a plus in my books

katnobaka [2006-05-07 04:49:23 +0000 UTC]

This is random, but I really love that Ruby's...er...topless. Aside from Sally, I can't think of another character who rolls like that. Do the higher-ups at Archie actually have any qualms about such designs? Just curious.

I guess I should actually read all the other pages so I'll know what's going on. Nice work on this page... Robotnik looks especially rotund.

dawnbest In reply to katnobaka [2006-05-09 17:03:21 +0000 UTC]

They don't go for overly sexual characters. Well, they do, but I was hindered largely because if it was Ken doing the inking, he'd tone down some of the curvatures I'd normally place on my characters, and sometimes redraw them. THAT was annoying... but the idea was that I was new to the scene (for 4 years apparently ^^) and he wanted to make sure I wasn't going to leave a bad impression with drawing things too sexy. I really don't know where they stand. Axer and crew certainly got away with more than I thought was possible, and it looked good and worked out well for the comic as a whole. There's a point of overdoing it, but you just obviously don't cross that line.

Oh. And this one time... Patrick got in trouble because Sally's butt was on the cover.
