Description I love the Sonic OVA so much; it's seriously one of my favorite Sonic media. But the ending always made me so sad. Sonic wanted Metal to live, and Metal deserved to live, yet poor Metal dies anyway. So, I decided to try redrawing the ending! Imagine if in the end, Sonic ended up saving Metal.

Part of the reason updates have been a little slow lately was because I'm trying to learn new techniques, and I can't really post my practice efforts. However, I think my practice is paying off. I tried to make the background more believable with textures and lighting, and while it's not perfect by any means, I think I am making progress.

I also do need to do more studies for Classic Metal Sonic. He doesn't look quite right just yet.

The WIP:

If this had happened in the OVA, I could imagine Robotnik gets Metal Sonic back and still says his line that he'll build an even stronger version which would be a great story arc if the OVA became an anime series.
The other alternative ending could be Metal Sonic getting the same treatment as Gemerl from Sonic Advance 3 where Metal is repaired by Tails and maybe gets green eyes to show he's good...

I loved the Sonic OVA too! I also thought the ending was pretty sad when Metal died ( he's my fav ) so this art is really how it SHOULD have ended, in other words, this art is the best.

i agree!!! it was so sad when metal died, and plus if metal had lived there was so much potential for a show based off of the OVA universe! oh well DX

TheEnigmaMachine In reply to RosyPumpkin [2018-01-06 00:19:54 +0000 UTC]

Oh yeah, it was super sad!! I wanted him to live so badly. It was so sad he died right as he was starting to develop his own personality DX

I always wanted an OVA anime series so badly too. Like that would have been amazing!

RosyPumpkin In reply to TheEnigmaMachine [2018-01-06 01:41:31 +0000 UTC]

Seriously!!! I'm kinda tempted to try and write a canon divergence fic of what could have been DX plus how interesting would it have been to have metal sonic slowly but surely adapt more and more of his own personality using the personality core he got from sonic, and his own exposure to eggman's evil? Sonic hates eggman, surely metal would have adapted that out of sonics personality core

Oh yeah, I have always wanted to see that so much! How would Metal grow on his own? He might have Sonic's data, but his new experiences will change him. It's so sad he died right as he was developing his own personality.

Honestly I caved and I’m rewriting OVA from Metal’s perspective. I always thought it would be an interesting take to get into his headspace. How at first he’s like β€œpsht this kid is gonna be easy to get rid of” to β€œoh man, what the heck are these emotions? How do I delete them? And how do I get rid of sonic when I agree with him so much?” To β€œman screw eggman this hedgehog is cute and eggman is a jerk”

Ooo that sounds really exciting! Please let me know once you finished writing it. The OVA is mostly told from Sonic’s perspective, so seeing what Metal goes through would be super interesting.
