Description
You were right. But then again you've known me for a long time ;DI was having a major 90's trip and this image came to mind- I remembered my fondness of a couple that weren't necessarily made a compatible couple in the official storyline... but I fancied their union. I don't know if I was ever so obsessed about any other pairs and to this day I don't know why. I was in high school so... maybe the reason could be summed up with just that lol.
They're not together because of an unrealistic level of forgiveness and new-found love from Lara-Le. They're together because after hundreds of generations Locke was the first Guardian to be a tad rebellious- since he adamantly refused to treat her like some sort of Guardian incubator. It was necessary for Locke to give Knuckles time to be a Guardian on his own so that he can develop some self-reliance, but Lara-Le didn't need any such thing so... he visited her often in secret.
Eventually their ancestors learned about Locke's deviation from the Guardian laws. When he debated they had him exiled instead of considering his words of reason. Sabre was quietly empathetic towards his son- he even had suspicions long before Locke was caught, but chose to say nothing about it. But since Sabre was compelled to follow the rules (for the sake of tradition and believing that all their rules ensure the safety and strength of Guardians), he grudgingly escorted Locke out of Haven.
So then Locke become a Rogue Guardian
So anyway... before I rambled I meant to say that... the reason Lara-Le wanted to leave Locke in the first place does not exist in this alternate reality. So that is why they are together. The difference between eternal love and eternal solitude depends a lot on some of the simplest things- letting the love of your life know you really love her/him and making selfless sacrifices or taking a stand against something that is not right for her/his sake.
Honestly I thought of Locke as being a true but somewhat defiant Guardian of the Brotherhood. He has a heart of gold and he doesn't let crap like tradition get in the way of thinking rationally. I think of Sabre as someone who wishes to be as bold as Locke, but is afraid to.
That's the way I see them. If you don't like it I don't care, but I dare you to make me
(I think Locke is to blame for me having a thing for hooded characters 9w9)
ATTENTION PURISTS : I am aware that in Archie Sonic Locke and Lara-Le are divorced (and why). I am aware that Lara-Le married Wynmacher and had a son with him (Kneecaps). I am aware that Locke is currently dead. This is an alternate reality in my personal Sonic faniverse, please respect it. I'm not fond of Locke's redesign next to his classic. If you think you need to police DA for continuity problems go find something more constructive to do with your time; make love to your girlfriend/boyfriend (or get one), get a hobby, get a job, and get a better understanding of what's really worth getting hot and bothered about... like slave labor and human trafficking. okay? Thank you and have a pleasant day.

I like your version. I think it suits the characters. If only it could have happened like that in canon. *sigh*
You always make Lara-Le really pretty. I love her eye color here.
Nice to see you doing some Sonic art again, especially these two, not that I don't love your other stuff.

Wow, looks awesome, this really brings me back, i love the way you drew Lara-Le's dress, and i really like the kind of moonlit forest in the background, an excellent piece. also you make a good point about Locke and Sabre, and i always liked the way they interacted in the comics, i would have loved to seen more of that. and as for the purists, well there are gonna be those types of people all over the sonic fandom so....[link]
