Oh Sonic...

Psych Notes:

I have a book on Body Language called "The Definitive Book of Body Language by Allan and Barbara Pease and it can be fun to look at and think also in a more overt way about body gestures too. This is something I like to learn about too for drawing and people purposes. It mentions "The Collar Pull" in it and the gist was someone named Desmond Morris found out about a tingling sensation when people lie that happens in the face and neck so that whole neck scratch when people are uncertain for example can happen. Also increased blood pressure makes sweat appear on the neck, thus the collar pull, or in this case Sonic's neck scarf, to let air circulate and cool the area. But does Tails pick up on Sonic's gesture? Hmm...
There's an article here too that mentions it too though. www.scienceofpeople.com/neck-b…

As far as uneasy gestures though, In the first episode of Sonic Boom "The Sidekick" I noticed Sonic's uneasy gesture for that moment was putting his hand beside his head ( which you can see here at the 3:28 mark www.dailymotion.com/video/x7sh… ) when he was telling Tails he was getting an early retirement, and not the real reason which was he was worried about him being his sidekick, which is why I used that gesture on SAS Page 18 www.deviantart.com/woforlife/a… but since an uneasiness gesture isn't always about lying, I wonder about some crossover there like with the whole neck scratch gesture the Pease book mentioned...uneasiness not necessarily from lying.
It has been helpful for other pages as well for certain scenes even though I didn't think to mention anything about it.

It's interesting to me to think as well what might be the same or different in body gestures for similar emotions and think more consciously about that. Usually I will try to "get into character" and act out the different characters to get a feel for gestures though...making using of my Drama class I took I guess LOL

Drawing Notes:

I don't exactly have a lot of experience making comics but have read them starting with the Archie Sonic ones when I was in 2nd grade and later manga, and so figuring out out how I wanted to do panels has been mostly by "feel" but sometimes I get stuck and have to be more conscientious about it and I went trough about 4 overall page layouts and 2 possibilities for the third panel, which you can see more explicitly about what my dilemma was here
www.deviantart.com/woforlife/a…
and was looking at things like my Framed Ink book and Drawing Action Scenes and Characters book for help.

I also attempted to use something seen in manga for the first panel called "odoro" lines I read about here www.japanesewithanime.com/2020… I guess it works? Well, I guess I'll learn more about panel layout as I do this more!

I attempted to do a brown color scheme for the lines in the flashback but...I don't think you can really tell.

Unused Script

I also originally had more after the Meh burger scene in my script that ended up getting cut since it was more for interest I think and less important plot-wise. A lot of it could be kind of inferred and we already just did this chunk of flashback sequence where Sonic Boom Sonic kind of derails things a bit talking about his problems with a more "enthusiastic" Amy but it does serve a purpose and seemed to be the natural flow of conversation to me. For one, it helps establish more of who these Sonics are, Game and Boom Sonic, and introduces the Sonic Boom subplot and the conflict with Amy.

In any case, if anyone's interested my rough idea for after Tails and Sonic, which I never got to a connecting dialogue to, though obviously they wouldn't have convinced Sonic to go face Amy...in any case, here was my cut script for what took place after that scene with Sonic Boom Sonic and Tails and Knuckles...which had I put it in even thumbnail form may have been tweaked since it seem like dialogue always gets added and tweaked when it get s put in panels from the script ha ha..anyway

(ADDED SCENE)

Text box: yet another flashback?!

(In scene Sonic is eating at meh burger wide -eyed and on the look out alone thinking:

“ No way she’d try something like that in a public place like here, though if she stopped reading that Sonamy fanfic, maybe it wouldn’t matter and we could go back to like it was! If only they stayed open overnight….

Sticks approaches him

Sonic: Sticks?

Sticks:Hey Sonic! Amy thought you might run away from her, so she sent me to tell you she needs to talk to you about some fanfic she’s been reading.

Sonic: Thinks:…aaaaaand nope.
Says: “Talk”?! Ha! She seemed interested in a little more than just talking last time I saw her… can’t I just stay comfortably cool and distant from her right now instead and just hang out like old times instead?

Sonic panics and runs off

Sticks: Sonic? Well looks like tree tying it is…

(Author note: Come to think of it, Sticks has accidentally trapped Sonic more often then Tails when he was actually trying to)

Sonic thinks as runs “ why did she have to start reading Sonamy fanfic? Why? Who would even friend and send her this? Who would be so evil??!! There’s no way I’m going near that multidimensional internet that’s for sure!

(Separate panel)

SB EGGman says: …Hmm…though with all this disturbing multidimensional fanfic and fan art…Is it even too evil?….even for me?…Too evil?! Get a hold of yourself Eggman! You are the villain after all!

(Back to Sonic)

( sees multidimensional internet in shack and stares at it)

SB Sonic: What? How’d this get here…I wonder? No Sonic! Resist! …. Well, I guess maybe just a little searching couldn’t hurt. (Sit s at computer)

Computer screen asks: “What is your avatar?”

(A panel of of Eggman making multidimensional internet and saying: Ha ha! Just wait until he tries to pick an avatar!

Sonic: Ha! That’s easy! I’ll use a picture of me of course!

Big Red x appears

Computer screen: Sonic avatars are already taken…

Sonic: What? This is bogus! What mysterious stranger would give me this then not let me choose me, as awesome as I am, as my own avatar?!

SB Sonic: Fine…Well, I guess I’ll come up some other avatar….Let’s see what I get when looking for Avatar….

(Next scene see on internet)

SB Sonic: Avatar the last airbender? Zuko? …Huh. oh so what ?!they can get three seasons?! Well maybe if we’d gotten 3 seasons Amy would’ve kept at a comfortable non-romantic distance.

( back with modern Sonic in present)
(END ADDED SCENE)
