Description (BEFORE YOU COMMENT): Yes I know Dimitri is not the only one that became Enerjak. But there is only one KICK ASS Enerjak that can never be topped, and that's Dimitri. That's the meaning behind the title.

DA! Why you so literal!

--

I know what I said about echidnas a thousand times, but I never said that I would never draw them again. On a rare occasion I will, and that's when I feel like it. Remember that.

Two things happened that inspired me to do this: 1) I dug out some old music from the early 00's; old music brings back old memories, in a few cases my love for Enerjak. 2) After reminiscing I was curious about Enerjak art on DA and wanted to see if anyone is still drawing him. While browsing I am now very annoyed by a lot of people regarding Enerjak as Knuckles. I never read that story- at that point I was already 100% committed to never buying a comic ever again, but I do know that because of Locke's lab work on Knux he ultimately became overwhelmed by the power of a chaos emerald, much like his great uncle Dimitri, and.....*shutter* he "became" Enerjak.... So now when you say "Enerjak" it's not always refering to one person anymore, it's either Dimitri or Knuckles; to say the least, I am not at all happy with that... no...

There is only ONE Enerjak, that's the way things always should be in stories okay! Everyone should have their OWN identity.

So I got peeved enough to draw this. Whether he managed to siphon the chaos power from Knuckles or just decided to beat him (already being a living emerald again) I haven't made up my mind... so I'll leave that up to you.

With that rant out of the way, it's now time for the legal mumbo jumbo.

It has always been important. I don't want people stealing ANY of my work, but it seems that thieves target this subject the most- I have some assumptions about why but that's not important...

These two characters are not mine.. Enerjak belongs to Archie and Knuckles belongs to Sega. But this piece of work is mine; I created it so I have rights as the artist. You do NOT trace, recolor, or do any other kind of cheap-ass theft crap to this work- Do your own damn work instead of being a leach with no talent.

If you want to use this in a youtube video or anything else..... ASK ME FIRST; I usually say yes to this as long as credits are included. But ask me, don't just assume that I will say yes.

YES you will get caught eventually if you steal/recolor/trace. Don't be an idiot.

I hate having to have all that writing across the pic but I've had it- I'm tired of my stuff getting ripped off.

I did like Knuckles Enerjak just for the nostalgia factor of the old one. But comparing them, I do like Dimitri simply for he did more with his power in creative ways and acted alot more intelligent.
He actually made me think of Ra from Stargate.
Though the main things I did like in his design was his dreads were striped. I guess you didn't add those here. Made him look more unique in the small details.
Always thought Dimitri would grab the master emerald and shed his shambling body and go back to his godhood.

I was actually disappointed they chose Knuckles to be Enerjak for the "Enerjak saga" a year or so back. Ian Flynn stated he did so because Knuckles is recognizable because his FIRST choice would have been Remington. Now, I think Enerjak is the best as Dimitri either, but damn, Remmy would have worked better. He is a DIRECT descendant of Dimmy himself and to see that kind of symbolism would have been more meaningful. Plus, I feel the closure Ian planned to give to him (apparently Remmy would have kept his powers and become some semi-God-like figure who watches over the remaining echidnas) would have worked as oppose to what he got. He still ends up fine (still leader of the echidnas, just not a god XD), but in a more hasten fashion.

That said, great pic. Beautiful details and eerie green coloring.

Already been through that scenario TWICE with farnart pieces. >.>; One was fanart I did of Kragok, Lien-Da and Luger (that thief pissed me off beyond belief) and the other one was a very old Kragok picture that was stolen through a video that the piece was allowed to be in. It sucks, its like pulling teeth with these kids. More or less, further discourages me from post up fanart anymore, not saying I'll draw something one day. I do agree that you shouldn't be forced to draw what people want you draw.

I do still read them to this day, I've notice the stories are much better now compared to others that were from 5 or 6 years ago. Really not go into sharing my opinions on that though.

But nice picture, really like the coloring to the picture.
