Description
Enter Eli! A character I made on a whim once to join some Sonic-themed MUCK. But he has turned out to be one of my favorites.. he's an 8-year-old overlander (humans are called overlanders in the Archie Sonic comics, for those who dunno). But this boy genius is probabley my smartest character (at least when it comes to inventions and stuff). The equipment he's wearing is all stuff he made and can do lots of stuff. Generate force fields, cause Eli to fly, etc, etc... but I won't go too much into detail.His background (For those who care):
He was an orphaned baby when his parents were killed in the crossfire of some overlander war against echidnas. But a pair of echidnas, taking pity on the parentless baby, took him in as their own. They were real encouraging and gave Eli an education that kept up with his ever-hungry mind. But about the time he was 6 years old, Robotnik made his take over and in the proccess, killed Eli's echinda parents. Eli wandered Mobius for a while as a hated race (Robotnik, being overlander. That and there was a constant war between overlanders and furries). 2 years later, he was adopted by Jack and Jamie Strat. Anyhow... I've since been working on a different background since Jack and Jamie are characters made by other people (They roleplayed the adoption). And I don't want Eli to be *only* tied to the Sonic universe.
Final note: That background is from a photo in some desktop program that changes the desktop image daily. Can't remember who to give credit for, but suffice it to say, I'm not taking credit for the background. Just the character.

Obviously this is old so you may or may not know this by now, but in Archie Overlanders are not humans, they're an evolution of humans with only three fingers and a thumb and a resistance to various weaponry. They came about like Mobians from the Xorda bomb. There are normal humans in the Archie universe too, though they rarely appear. He's quite adorable though.

Yeah. Found out a couple years or so back. I'm not sure how much I like the idea, but either way, I don't have a problem calling Eli "human" instead of officially "Overlander". Another thought: Due to their extremely similar appearance, wouldn't it be common for Mobians to mistake the two, especially given the recent infamy of Overlanders due to both the war and Robotnik's take-over? And thanks for the comment. Hope you enjoyed all the pics of him.

Oh I do enjoy the pictures. Adorableness at it's height. And no Mobians wouldn't mix up the two as they'd never actually met humans until coming into contact with Station Square during Archie's version of Sonic Adventure. Though on the other hand I think Overlanders are now all but extinct, and Robotnik Prime is dead. Eggman's a robot turned flesh, Snively's, um, Snively and that other girl flew off to who knows where.
Still you have a sweet character. Almost usurps Tails as cutest Sonic character if he was official (not quite though ).

He could be a pretty versatile character, not only for the Sonicverse; heck the possiblilities are endless when he grows up!

^_^ I went ahead and saved the pic of Eli to use as a reference. And I'll get to coloring the other two ASAP. You're welcome for the compliments/comments. Your artwork deserves it.

I really like this pic. It makes you think that if you could just get your hand through the screen into the cartoon world you could grab his and start a conversation. The character looks so loveable, thanks for sharing it again with us. And Thanks for the background info on the character!

Thank you very much! I feel encouraged... I'm getting ready to upload another pic of Eli for everyone to enjoy. I hope you get as much enjoyment out of it as you did from this one. As for background... always happy to!

You gotta love the "Willy DeWitt" Charm!
(He was a character in the classic "Bucky O Hare" Series, a boy genius who accidentally got sucked into another dimension where Animals had Space ships e.c.t! Classic Anthro cartoonery!)
Love the smooth colouring/shading...you must tell me your secret!

The secret is the replace tool. And being very steady-handed with the mouse.

500. But that is only an estimate since I am too feeble minded to comprehend what levels of genius he would be exactly.

Wow, that's twice as big as Stephen Hawking, and thinking is basically all he can do. O.o
