Oh right!
What the fuck? What do you want to bet he charged them a rediculous amount for that
>>161912582
because hes actually evil not misguided and immature
also i love this crossover
>>161913084
And not one Sally cameo.
>>161913253
Are you calling Robotnik immature, or Wily immature?
>>161912641
only in anime would a 12 year have a body like that

Huh, guess they might as well use those IPs somehow.

SAVAGE
>>161913336
Wily just wanted to terrorize the world until they said he was better than Light.
Eggman just wants to fuck everything up.
>>161913336
He's saying that Wily isn't evil, just throwing a immature temper tantrum at Light getting credit. Eggman is genuinely evil.
>>161913556
>wily isn't evil
UMMMMMM
>>161913336
robotnik/eggman is an actual fucking dictator, wily is just an old envious guy who just happens to be good at robotics
>>161913518
I'd like to see this image with the president and the photoframe of Sonic and Shadow he keeps on his desk in ShTH
>>161913628
He progresses to becoming evil, but he doesn't start out like that.
>>161913826
Oh... is the mega man comic early into the timeline of negative man events?
>>161913746
I like how, as he's saying he won't make the same mistake twice, he makes another mistake a second time.
>>161913917
Chaos is constant
>>161913031
Because video games and nurd culture XD
>>161912382I think I'm developing a fetish.
>>161913917
eggman(under flynns writing) mostly does smart things to win against anyone besides sonic because sonic is literally contracted to always win no matter what
>>161913276
Sally will be a human girl
>>161913276
Not everyone succumbed to furry bait.
>>161914164
I believe NC said Sally is hot.
>>161913746
Wily also wanted to take over the world though, and ultimately ended up destroying it, although thats not what he planned.
>>161914237
Did he? Might explain why he really likes that show.
>>161913771
Don't try to roboticize me or my son ever again.
>>161914320
>>161914237
He made a joke about it and how it started a furry fetish for a lot of people. He wasn't referring to himself.
>>161914320
He likes it because it's "dark and epic". He hated AoSTH because he saw the first episode and didn't understand how cartoons work
>>161914237
no, he just acknoldged that she was one of the most famous furry's of all time
>>161913276
People hate comic characters appearing in anything besides the comics for ultimately retarded reasons.
>>161913904
It's complicated, the comic tries to show that WIly has a good side he sometimes has to fight against to remain convicted in his evil. His relationships with Light is... complex. They act like spurned lovers.
But this comic takes place well into the future of the Mega Man series, since Wily uses the Chaos Emeralds to move his timeline forward so he'll have more knowledge and resources, since at the time in the comic he has lost almost everything except a giant untrustworthy ancient space supercomputer. So by that time, Mega Man had already tried to kill Wily, so there's not a lot of reason for Wily to show such mercy anymore.
>>161914461
2 > 1 > 3 > 4
>>161914145
>>161913962
Sonic is literally the embodiment of chaos, as in no matter how much Eggman tries to plan against it, somehow, Sonic always gets all these last minute saves and improbable rescues, throwing him out of the plane would be a good way to kill someone if Sonic wasn't around, whose chaotic aura gave Shadow the random opening he needed to save Light
>>161914652
I would've switched the first two if this artist didn't use the greenest brown for her fur color.
>>161914532
that, and the canonical end of megaman timeline is caused by a mixature from light,wily, and caine
light and wily for making x, and zero
cain for waking up x and deciding to mast produce reploids without the testing that made them all peaceful like x
>>161914437
>He hated AoSTH because he saw the first episode and didn't understand how cartoons work
That's a bit of a blanket statement, he doesn't hate AoStH, just dismisses it as silly kiddy stuff. Which is fair enough, though he doesn't really discuss the later episodes such as those done by TMS which were actually pretty decent.
As for SatAM, I honestly think he's blinded by nostalgia because even if you like the show 'Too good' isn't exactly what I'd call it.
At any rate, I think we should all know Doug has rather bad opinions, and worse still, he thinks he actually has a good point. Not to say he can't be right but that he's a person who greatly overestimates his own cleverness.
>>161914740
i like to think shadow saved light because he had a prof gerald flashback
also this was the only thing shadow did onscreen of any value in the crossover
>>161913391
>tfw no Altered Beast by Platinum with on the fly shapeshifting mechanics
i wish they did more with these guys
>>161914237
No, he said she was responsible for many furfags
>>161915364
>Metal Espio
FUCK I NEED IT
>>161915364
Learning that Worlds Collide was in fact just a comic crossover and not an actual game was a fantastic blue balls moment
Will a official Sonic game ever have game mechanics and physics like Sonic Utopia? I feel like they could do it easily if they tried harder.
>>161915125
>Shadow got the piece of Tommas' ass before Wily
>>161914864
Fun fact: In Tatsunoko vs Capcom, Zero gets to speak with Wily's ghost which tells him he's glad that X and Zero are friends and not enemies.
in Challenger of the Future after Light dies Wily stops trying to take over the world or kill Mega Man because he feels regretful.
>>161915125
Shadow should've let Light die so Cain wouldnt fuck up the human race in the future
>>161916026
frankly I can't imagine that creating 10 or so levels like this would be profitable for anyone to make
>>161916208
>Someone else acknowledging that Cain was the biggest retard of them all
Thank you anon, I finally don't feel like an insane man
>>161915992
i knida wish that someone would make a game based around worlds collide
hell i'll take a fangame
and knowing capcom they'll endorse it cause there sure as hell not gonna try
>we're discussing mega man lore better that /mmg/ right now
>>161916282
the better question is why and archeobotanist felt he was qualified to do so. At least after 4 games he realized that he ruins everything he touches and stopped trying to help
>>161916257
>creating 10 or so levels like this
Everyone focuses on the level design for this demo even though it's just to show off the physics. That team should hurry up on their real first level because everyone thinks they want to make a open world game.
>>161916282
Nigger everbody should know Cain was the biggest retard.
At least Light knew to keep X locked away in order to mature or learn the rights and wrongs
Cain's dumbass created Sigma
>>161912582
Wily > Eggman
>>161916142
Do you mean the Wonderswan game? Because Light didn't die in that one.
>>161916589
Everyone focuses on level design because even if the physics work and they have a control scheme that isn't retarded or aspects of the gameplay locked behind a bad gimmick like Mach Mode in GHZ, it can still end up shit if the levels suck and don't utilize the physics.
>>161916404
Would it be
>sonic game with level select and wisplike power ups from the robot masters
Or
>mega man game with loops and slops and stuff
>>161916282
well to be fair, wily making zero, who gave sigma, the most powerful reploid i imagine at the time a virus is what fucked the world over.
>>161916663
Sigma was perfectly fine until he came into contact with Wily's virus.
>>161916880
Yeah, but literally everything in the X series and beyond would've never happened if Cain didn't try to replicate a design he knew nothing about, without the precautions the original creator undertook to make sure shit didn't go horribly, horribly wrong
>>161916880
Sigma wasn't made until there were already mavericks
>>161916936
If Cain never made Sigma, he wouldnt have became a virus either
>>161917016
And then someone else would have gotten the virus, as Zero would have still been discovered, and someone would have had to go in and fight him.
>>161916880
look at all these guys who never properly debuted!
>>161916810
I have faith they know what they are doing with the level design and besides that's why in my post I specifically mentioned in my post >>161916026 that I specifically wanted the game mechanics and physics for Sonic Team to learn from Utopia,
Because Sonic Team is already good at making fun levels with good set pieces. They just need better controls and physics
>>161916841
it should do the sonic generations method of half the stages are sonic stages with megaman gimmicks where he fights regular robot masters
megaman stages whith sonic gimmicks where he fights robotozied masters
>>161916404
I don't remember this from the crossover? Unused cover art?
>>161917115
that is the megaman comic in a fucking nutshell
>>161917321
no its just something spaz drew, most likely for personal reasons or commission

>the megaman comic will never be continued

>just dismisses it as silly kiddy stuff
Shouldn't you do that for the entire franchise?
>>161918152
good lord dont scare me like that
>>161916779
But it does deal with timelines, however.
>>161917528
What's the bottom right Mega Man from?
>>161918330
Sonic The Hedgehog is srs bsns
Sonic X and Sonichu are too similar
sonic could only save megaman once
but they tried the same shit anyway
>>161917732
It was a fan commission done by Spaz and Aleah Baker.
>>161918661

>>161917528
They really should have taken Ian off after the second year. He just wasn't doing a great job with the material.
>>161918661
smash bros
>>161918690
What did he say about the Lego Sonic thing. That's like a gift from the heavens for him.
>>161918675
Thankfully the Twitter, the recent games, and Boom have worked to correct that. Shame 2017 seems it'll go full retard again
>>161918826
Disagree, Proto Man stuff was fanstastic.
>>161916974
To be fair, if Cain did try the "Seal away for 30 years for testing" method that Light did with X he would have ran into the same problem Light did. Dying of old age before shit was done.
>>161917264
mega man fights the Roboticized Masters, and sonic fights Robot Masters.
Sonic Stages:
Bomb Works (bomb man's stage from 1, large focus on those towers in the back, with elements from Elec Man's stage)
Formula Factory(quick man's stage)
Smelter Scamper(shadow man's stage, with Spark Man elements)
Pyramid Panic (pharoah man, with a commando man interlude)
Traintop Canyon (charge man's stage, elements of rain canyon from Heroes)
Hanging Garden Tower (midpoint of game, featuring Centaur Man and Knight man, but based on tower of X)
Tire Kingdom (turbo man's stage)
Uchiwa Fleet (tengu man's stage, with bobsled QTE's)
you guys think of the rest
>>161918826
i disagree
>>161918826
>wasn't doing a great job
How come you think that Anon? Personally I found it all to be great from issue to issue.
>>161918915
You're right.
It was also the only part that was good barring the Powered Up arc, and it only happened because they needed filler before WC.
The guy gets way too invested in plans and forshadowing and accuracy to just tell a damn story.

he tried way too hard to express how wierd he thought furries were. he also had a similar rection to lola bunny and her "bunny boobies"i'm pretty sure NC is a closet furfag
>>161918980
nice anon!
>>161917321
It's probably a reference to this
>>161919254Didn't Jontron say his waifu was Sally Acorn at some con?
>>161919090
Well to be fair, he needs the stories to have a natural flow between story to story and all that.
And he must have known a bit before it'd be cancelled, what better way to show how much this comic could be by foreshadowing some of the best of MegaMan history?
>>161919440
it was blaze.
When playing 06 he started shouting "I WANNA PUT MY WEEEN IN HER"
>>161919254
Well he did have someone in a fursuit in his latest commercial review.
>>161919254
i never got how he finds that weird, he's an animaniacs fan, theyve made sex appealing furrys in waner bros before
>>161919543
Not what I'm talking about, anon. He was fucking around in that episode. He said something about his waifu being Sally at a con while being serious or some shit.
>>161919649
>jontron
>being serious
>>161919254
that black dude thats always in his videos is
he pulled a pewee herman in a 18+ furshit panel
remember when shadow and team dark fuckin DIED?!
>>161919842
Gotta love how Paul was like "How do we make this event better?" and the first thing he thought of was "Kill characters people like and shove this human to the forefront, because since he's human that OBVIOUSLY makes him relatable, right?"
>>161919842
>sonic loses shadow, rouge, omega, GUN commander, other gun lady
>mega losers THE MAYOR
this crossover is really imbalanced
everything about worlds unite is a fucking mess
it never fails to make me angry at all the wasted potential of it. the best part was the beginning where was more or less a real sequel to worlds collide. the supplementary material (battle books) was better than books it was promoting. worlds collide pretty much saved sonic and megman's books, unite fucking killed megman and put sonic in a bad spot
>>161920037
Mega Man got rid of a huge chunk of the cast in the issue before the crossover.
Not that it excuses only killing off the mayor in WU. He appeared in one issue during the series and was obnoxious as hell in that one appearance. Him dying would've had some impact if anyone actually cared about him.
>>161920350
Who did this variant?
>>161920037
Dude The Mayor is a playable character.
He's more important than SnakeMan.
>>161920421
Ben Bates I think.
>>161920419
The detectives dying would have been the impact.
And have an excuse to be with GUN's lot.
>>161920421
actually its 12 variants put together
>>161920529
That guy had range.
x and shadow should have gone super in the end, but they just rehashed the worlds collide ending fight.
which is even worse considering that megaman dosent have the rush adapters yet
>>161920919
They can't bulk sonic up, even a bit, for when he's super?
Nothing big, but maybe even some lean muscle?
>>161920919
i wonder what spaz would have done with that who sonic manga idea he had
>>161920919
Super Mega Man never should've existed. The Super Adapter should've been used as Mega Man's super transformation equivalent, which would've allowed them to use the Hyper Chip for X in Collide.
>>161920919
I can't decide if this was worse that RoF anime adaption
>>161921565
>>161921565
I miss that Sally.
>>161921565
>>161921903
>>161921910
at least they didn't ruin my favorite character apart from the who whole muh love triangle bs
>>161921798
I still don't get why Ian didn't think to have X use the Hyper Chip and let Sticks paint herself gold and pretend to be super.
>>161921910
miss what?
the personality or the fact that shes fucking naked?
>>161922171
Not him, but I kind of liked crazy bitch Sally. Much better than what we have now
>>161921910
their hands are fucking HUGE
>>161920919
Actually, Ian wanted to have X go super too but he was told that he wasn't allowed to. I can't remember if it was Sega or Capcom who said so.
>>161922256
>Much better than what we have now
>>161922329
It really is, unless you like the constant whinging and crying about how "I FUCKED UP WAHHH" and then her being flawless
>>161921910
Sally preboot is so fucking bad.
Like, don't get me wrong, I enjoyed her on Ian's run, but she was dragging so much fucking baggage it was unreal.
She was Voice of Reason pre-Skunk, pedobait, fuck everything, piss fountain, drama filled over-emotional faggot who was amazingly boring up until Ian stepped in, and I feel that even up until WC he was trying to fix parts of.
Reboot Sally a best Sally.
>>161921565
>>161922393
>I'll take Hyperbole and Things That Didn't Happen for 500
>>161922321
It was probably Sega. Super Mega Man was one exception, but they probably didn't want it to go further than that.
Which is why Mega Man should've just stayed with the Super Adapter in the first place.

>>161922659

>>161922528
Out of curiosity, does someone with better memory have a "Sally has to deal with a lot of shit : Sally breaks down" graph?
Cause all these complaints can't be justified, I remember Sally being able to grit through most situations.
>The Station Square being flooded
To be fair, she was dealing with the memory she was once a robot and nearly killed everyone, everyone else was having trouble with it too, Sally was just expected to be above that until it was obviously too much.
>>161922659
>ages
Pls no
>>161922393
>>161922412
The problem is that Sally reboot and Sally pre-boot are total inversions of each other.
Before the reboot Sally was a capable and confident leader. She was sure of herself and her abilities in the field, but her personal life was a fucking mess with romance and her family issues. All character conflict for her came from external sources.
Sally in the reboot has those flipped. Her personal life is completely stable; no stupid family bullshit and absolutely no romance whatsoever. She has a core group of friends that like her and is general supportive of her. Instead, she's far less sure of herself as a leader, constantly second-guesses herself, and blames herself for fuckups that really weren't her fault. All character conflict in the reboot is internal.
So if you hate royal family drama and soap opera shit then you're going to hate Sally in the old continuity, but if you think too much internal drama makes her a weak character than you're going to hate Sally in the reboot.
>>161922774
Basically how I feel.
I enjoy flipping through some old issues mostly for the art.
>>161922659
Old enough to party
>>161922840
i just wanna determine my guilt for liking her
>>161922782
This was around 2001, anon.
>>161922782
I had some Pokemon mango at one point in the late 90s, so maybe.
>>161922946
Long needle sonic is best sonic
>>161922968
Even if she's Technically underage by human years, chances are she matures at a faster rate due to being an animal.
So yes, you can fuck her, but don't expect it to be easy.
>>161922659
FV Honey is either 16 or 17.
>>161922659
Old enough.
>>161922910
The thing is, I feel that her being internally conflicted about her abilities as a leader are pretty justified.
Like, pre-boot Sally was 16 and was a natural leader and tactician and leader. Tails isn't a super genius, Rotor's not the leading expert in mechanics, they all aren't perfect in their specific trait cause hey, they're mostly kids.
But I agree with you on the inversion thing, I guess people got into the super leader having a messed up sex life but it's not really for me, I much prefer the no romance bro who has problems with being a leader but she tries her best. Like how Knuckles is a pretty shit guardian of the ME and not even sure of himself as a lone ranger but he puts the heart and effort in.

NO BECAUSEI forgot. Why was Sonic 18, when was the issue that happened in, I can't imagine even Penders would have made the blue rat 18 in the first couple of issues.
Also, 18 is literally a fetus when it comes to war tactics. Someone now is going to post some Japanese fucker who lead some army but they were different times. Progression from DEEP YOGHURT to Master of the Battlefield is just odd.

You're entitled to your opinion on the games, but they did nothing to decrease populatity. 2 battle if anything saved the franchise.
>>161925360
The lighting isn't quite up to base with some people, which is to be expected considering that the game is hardly finished and hard in development, judging from the fact that the trailer, b-roll footage, and stage demo are three different builds.
>>161925385
You're forgetting he spends a whole year in space

I think you guys need to actually re-check the facts.
Other than the totally-legitimate IQ400 attack from Sonic Battle, Tails has been stated quite a few times to rival Eggman. After SA2, Tails and Eggman's skills and abilities intellectually and stuff are unquestionably comparable to each other.

Interesting how Twana isn't just strapped to the Vortex Cortex. I mean, I know why it's done and all, but at this point the subversion of the damsel in distress trope is pretty much as cliched as the original. I don't think it's bad per say, but, it does feel very 'please don't call me a sexist'. If the girl is caught, she's caught. Saving one's friend or lover is a trope as old as fiction. Then again, I'm not a woman so whatever.I really hate how people whinging about things has forced nearly everyone into trying to appease everybody.

Zamsu became something something JUSTICE AND LAW itself

/sthg/ - I mean, whatever, right?
>>161928637
She wasn't strapped in the original, either. And the 'fighting back' part is actually part of her original personality. In fact, Tawna was going to have a lot more wit and emotions and personality, but that was cut out of the final game and she was just a girl who dumped Crash for Pinstripe Potoroo aka that evil guy with guns.
>>161929873
Better than comic era wars at least
>>161929976
I didn't know, I am looking forward to this remake regardless.
You know, if they ever develop Silver and his future more in the games, I don't think they should go down the Trunks route. Instead they should go down the Den-O route where Silver is a Singularity Point, so his existence is protected from any changes in the past and he remembers everything from his personal point of view, even if his own history has changed.
>>161929873
"whatever" is better than our usual nonsense

Hey, they get to keep real gold. Plus even if it goes down it will still be a relative thing.
Just wait until they build a machine that makes gold, then I'd start pissing bullets.
As for the economy, just have part time work. Hopefully next year I'll be able to move on and find a real job, in the meantime I'll learn to draw better.

what would /sthg/ do to improve 3D sonic?
hard mode:no remove everything non essential in hopes it fixes itself
i've been playing a lot of Earth Defence Force lately which features huge battles with giant enemies https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gyWznuIcTSQ
i think that sonic could be a lot of fun if they seriously upped the enemy count to similar scales and making the game more combat focused where you're speeding around in large open levels destroying armies of eggmans robots. of course momentum physics and a lot of ramps/slopes should be in the game. this would also make the inclusion of sonics shitty friends add to the game since they would work as different classes with the same core gameplay. it would bring back the spectacle that has been missing since the adventure era without making it dark and edgy while also moving the series into a new direction instead of "innovating" by adding a new gimmick
>>161933413
>if kojima directed SA2
>>161933149
Those people who want to make her edgy or ultraviolent or whatever can fuck right off
>>161933885
Tear absolutely everything down and make something completely brand new from scratch. Go into it saying "we want to make a 3D platformer with momentum and smooth physics" and go from there. Ignore absolutely everything from previous games, don't bring anything in as a sacred cow. Reinvent absolutely everything from the ground up instead of going from game to game constantly doing half measures without truly fixing the core foundation.
Then go back to cheesy over-the-top Saturday morning cartoon plots because those were fun. Modern writing is too boring and stale.

do you really think sonic needs a several games long recovery plan to stop being shit?
>>161934184
Then go back to cheesy over-the-top Saturday morning cartoon plots because those were fun.
They WOULD be, if Pontaff didn't take every opportunity to butcher the dialogue so it sounds more "modern".
>>161935242
No, just one. I'm not even suggesting that it remove anything "non-essential", if anything they should go back to multiple characters and fun cheesy plots. But the core foundation of the games themselves has been shaky ever since the first Adventure with no improvement. Anything that doesn't address the core of the gameplay ends up just being a half-measure that papers over a hole without fixing it.
>>161934184
This. Question, do we also go back to how it was in Sonic 1 AKA just Sonic and Eggman or is Tails in it too?
>>161933149
Sonic the Hedgehog!
>>161934396
I love that render so much.
>>161927885
On one hand, I don't want any of my favorite characters in Boom, as I'm not a fan of they do to them at all. On the other, the characters would get more popular, which is desirable in order to get quality stuff with them elsewhere.

fixing the core gameplay and making it physics based seems to be a common desire now after green hill zone act 2 and utopia proved it works. but where would you like them to go after they have done that?
smashing into stuff at high speeds and fighting giant armies of enemies are universally fun things in games which would fit sonic well since he's fast and eggmans usual tactic is to produce armies of robots to do his work

Why does Sally not have the proper chipper tail?
>>161939736
So what do you guys think of Muttski's and Alhkulut's current changes?
>>161940618
Elias has a squirrel tail because they're squirrel-chipmunk halfbreeds and the children take after the same-gendered parent.
>>161940657
Felt unnecessary. The little critters from the games can exist, but not a little dog version?
>>161940657
I enjoy them. I feel like given how the mobini still exist, Muttski didn't necessarily need to become an actual character-- but I'm not complaining. Gives Chuck a helper too, which is kinda fun. Shame they haven't done much yet.
And as for Ahklut, it bothered me that there were no real sea creatures that were like every other Sonic character, so I'm pretty glad where he's at.
>>161940657
I never read the comics before ian took over and I can only recall seeing mutt as a normal animal maybe once? So it really didn't matter if her was changed to a comic OC. I forgot who Alhkulut is
>>161940657
I like the changes even the characters themselves aren't that interesting. Would have been fun though if Alhkulut was actually the same whale that chased Sonic in Adventure 1.
>>161940307
honestly ian should have killed off max and not try to force us to feel bad about his impending senility.

How about doing that for a story that deserves it, like Armand's death. One of the best stories Ian wrote, but nobody talks about it because of the fucking inexcusably bad art
>>161942287
Honestly, if the dark ages of the comic were drawn with the linework, colors and layout of the height of Ian's era, I would find it much more enjoyable. It wouldn't be good, but it would be fun to look at.
>>161942289
Go back in your lamp
>>161941983
This pose is pretty awkward, and like the other anon said, the hands are very odd and disproportionate. Also the way you draw the muzzles bothers me. The shape and size just feels wrong. Not trying to shit on you, you have potential, but most of your art I've seen so far suffers from problems like these.

>>161942396

>>161943989
Yes because Alicia is a Penders character
what if they redid the art withCGI renders
>>161943989
i think its conformed that her name was nicole in the reboot
>>161943989
>>161944098
I'd vote for Alice/Alexis Acorn
>>161944098
Technically Alicia first appeared in SatAM as Sally's middle name, right? Not that it would stop Penders from having a hissy fit.
>>161944230
I don't think it was. Nicole got her name from Nikki
>>161944230
No, Nicole was the name of one of the queens in the past. The way they talked about her, it probably wasn't Sally's mom.
>>161944230
Nicole was the name of "a long-past Queen", Sally's distant ancestor but definitely not her mom.
>>161944214
i like the renders but they only get away with making these because its a video game based franchise, who ever heard of a book with cgi for the interior art?

And most chipmunk tails are smaller than that, too.
>>161945260
One anon back in the day really wanted it storytimed.
>>161945320
Someone should storytime the Nicole origin part just for shits and giggles since it's the only remotely noteworthy part of thing.
Noteworthy for being terrible, but still.
>>161945320
is it even still going on?
>>161945284
No, that's wrong.
What he posted is the common chipmunk
>>161933149
>>161945798
It's not wrong. Most chipmunk tails are not that puffed out. Their tails are longer than what Sally has but are by no means big and bushy. Also, a long tail on Sally would break her composition so badly.
Aleah's stories are better than anything Ian's written post-rebootbesides Champions
>>161946070
Pretty sure he still writes the plots and she just does the scripting. Or at least that's how it was around Fighters.
>>161946070
Clove's good, but honestly you could make her better by having it revealed thatshe's actually using Cassia's sickness as a cover story. She actually joined Eggman because she craved the power he could give her
>>161946208
That kind of invalidates >>161946070 and any other emotional struggles.
It should be revealed that the only reason Cassia's problem were an issue is because they lived in Empire City and were too poor to afford the treatments, so they joined Eggman to get them for free. Then they defect and go to Knothole where Cassia has a complete recovery because they have government healthcare insurance.
>>161946585
I see it as putting it in a new, much more horrifying context. That Clove's pretending to care about Cassia so she doesn't suspect anything, and take action. Clove needs Cassia around as that bargaining chip. A quick way to garner sympathy and hide her ass. Because outside of Eggman, who would seriously try to hurt a girl with a terminally ill little sister (That's the mentality Clove operates under)
One of the best things about the comic is that it lives off subverting expectations, so why not turn one of the most sympathetic villains into one of the most monstrous ones. One that you just love to hate
>>161946818
>trusting the health care of some backwaters kingdom instead the futuristic super city
besides, all Dr. Chuck is going to do is throw her ass into a roboticizer
>>161946873
Yeah, but then why is she crying/grimacing in >>161946070 where no one can see them if she's faking it. If the comic were to go in your direction, I think a better twist would be that she used her sister's illness as a scapegoat to join the Eggman Empire because she craves power.
>>161946873
Sorry, but this is really dumb. For one thing, who outside Clove and Eggman even know that Cassia is sick? How would she "garner sympathy"?
>>161947205
not only that, but garnering sympathy would make her seem weak and lose respect among the Egg Bosses
>>161947194
>Yeah, but then why is she crying/grimacing in >>161946070 where no one can see them if she's faking it. If the comic were to go in your direction, I think a better twist would be that she used her sister's illness as a scapegoat to join the Eggman Empire because she craves power.
That's what I meant. She's using it as a scapegoat

>Writer is Ian Flynn
Who else is hyped and/or curious to see how this plays out?
>>161952552
I'm curious to see how the humor is. I wasn't a big fan of the Boom comic, so I'm wondering how his writing on the show will be.
>>161952552
Definitely curious how his episode would be like. Besides the Boom comic, have he ever did any comedy-based comic before?
>>161952552
ITS TIME
>>161952830
>Besides the Boom comic, have he ever did any comedy-based comic before?
Sonic X
>>161952626
The Boom comic can be a hit or miss, but it was an enjoyable comic if you can get past the "ker" jokes every often.Are the characters going to be a bit self-aware that they're in a cartoon like how they were in the comics?
>>161952552
I'm interested to see how this will play out. I still think Comic Sticks is the best version of Sticks we've ever gotten, and the Boom comic, outside of the Ker joke, was a pretty fun read. It reminded me of the really early comics, and was fun for that. Shame they never got Gallagher to do an issue
>>161952894
How did that went? Was the humor on the same level as the Boom comic?
>>161952552
>>161953082
It was a lot more incosistent, granted that's probably due to some of the writers being complete idiots (Flying Amy anyone?) but when it was good it was really fun, like when Eggman took up Pro Wrestling
>>161953182
thats just the x comic tho

in an early sonic x comic amy was given the ability fly as she was drawn to be floating like rouge and tails because the writer didn't know that she couldn't fly
>>161954475
kek what? What issue was that?
>>161952552
Shit I hope Flynn puts his all into this. I'd love to see him break into TV writing unlike some fucking cucks.
>>161954613
Funnily enough, those jobs he left the comic for? One of them was Bratz fucking Babiez. And that directing job? A movie that fell through (Lost Ones) and the Republic, which surprise surprise is not even close to being done

Sonic 4 never happened, it's just a bad dream.
>>161958254
>>161958273
Actually no I take that back. He has a little knob on the top of his head that makes him look like Chaos.
>>161941983
What's your method for creating a color palette?
Do you just take it from official art? I ask because I'm bad at choosing colors.
>>161958747
When it comes to the characters base colours yeah, I try and match official art (usually the 2D pieces are easier to sample than the 3D renders, or heavily shaded/gradiented stuff).
The only place I actually choose any colour is during the shading stage. I put down a layer of hard shade and then usually a layer of fuzzy shade on top of that, then play with the colour combinations till I find something I like.
Depending on what your scene is, time of day, standing next to something that emits odd light like an emerald for example, you can get some fun effects out of mixing those two shadow layers, which is as simple as tweaking the hue/saturation sliders in photoshop.
I have a REALLY bad eye for colour though, so 99.9% of time I'll use official base colours and then just fuck with my shade sliders until I find something that just seems to look nice to me. And then find out it looks awful on other people's monitors!
>>161959478
OK so you just put it on then play around with the sliders. I just recently started playing around with reflective light. To me that seems to be what really makes a picture pop.
>>161959896
pretty much, it helps if you know what your scene is before you start lighting it, knowing where your primary light source is and if there are any reflective secondary sources, and if not, if you can add some to make your picture more interesting.
Sometimes knowing a colour or effect you wanna do can help you design your layout later as well, like if I wanted rouge's chest piece to be super shiny and I liked the idea of a big green bit across it to give it depth that could lead me to put an emerald in a certain place to make the light plausible. Then if you can move shit around to make your image read better you could really improve your composition/line of sight stuff.
>>161960175
what do you mean by "fuzzy shade?"
>>161949724
if that's mu request, thank you!although some features are missing or unclear
>>161960265
Large soft brush with low pressure on a multiply layer.
>>161960175
If I want to make something look shiny or metallic I might do an outer glow but that can look a little flat unless you've got at least 3 values. Going over the shiny part a couple times with overlay layers looks better to me.
>>161954475
what? does that writer think everyone flies by default?
>>161960265
I don't know what the technical term is for the technique but basically it's a layer on top of what is basically cel shaded style, used to make cel shading slightly flouncier? You should be able to get an idea of it here. I use it to darken areas of my shading closer to a light source to make a harsher contrast and play with light a bit. I need to study it more to make effective use of it, I've only recently started trying the technique, I usually don't venture into colouring so much. I'm not very confident in it and would rather strengthen my pencilling but hopefully this helps?
>>161960582
mabye, the issues seemed very generic super hero-esque
>>161960623
So one layer is a solid shade, do you then create another layer that's say has a lower opacity? Or am I understanding wrong?
>>161960575
overlays are good, I fuck around with colour dodges sometimes as well, you can get nice effects from those. With metal I usually just cop out and do a multiply layer with some emphasis from a light stripe.
If you wanna get super fancy you can colour the lineart on metal too to make it standout more. But that's a slippery slope, soon you gotta colour all your lines or it looks terrible and that's a hard thing to get to look right and SUPER finicky.
>>161960623
The Sonic Advance official art does the same thing but the other way around. Where it's opaque facing inwards. Then on top of that they put the highlight.
>>161960849
Make some nice thick final lines so you can color within them. Then start off with the flat midtones. Look at the left picture here
>>161959478
You can use a soft brush, that's a brush that gets lighter in opacity farther out from the center. If you use lower opacity you could end up with dark lines where the brushes overlap. With simple cel-shading you don't want to have too soft shading. What he's done is basically still cel-shading just with a soft edge.
>>161916282
Anyone who doesn't think the botanist turning robotic salesman is the biggest retard of all
I mean he BUILT the Repliforce, and only after that fuck up did he finally retire from the public eye
"We hunters want you to come peacefully and disarm yourselves, so we can figure out why Sky Lagoon crashed and killed so many innocent people" just to be met with "NO! Fuck you guys! We're gonna do a bunch of illegal stuff and even attack another city or two since we're clearly innocent, then we're gonna fuck off to live on our giant space cannon run by our boss that's so big, his only chair doesn't fit him!"
Such is the power of Cain at his A-Game. And Sigma.
>>161960896
Yeah I could probably do a decent job of mimicing that given half a chance but I dunno, it just never grabbed me as a style, I'm not really a fan of that. But again, I'm not really a colourist. I just hope my stuff doesn't look awful when I colour it. I gotta do something a bit better than taking photographs of sketches on my table!
>>161961289
Wait, Cain created Repliforce?
>>161952552
I feel bad for Ian that his episode has to come during CN's fuckery killed the ratings.
>>161961382

>>161962069

>>161960623
Whats the settings for the brush?
>>161963597
standard photoshop brushes.
I use the hard 10 to ink and cel shade and then the soft 300 to add the soft secondary shade layer.
>>161963745
300? then how do you get that nice clean look?
Sorry for all the questions, I draw a bit myself, but I've never really done any colouring
>>161964073
you can lock layers together, I think it's called masking.
But basically in photoshop you can tie one layer to another, so whatever you do on it doesn't spill over. that way you can draw a hard cel shade on a surface and then only affect that layer with the masked layer. You can mask a layer by clicking inbetween them on your layers window while holding down ctrl. it should then indent the top layer to the bottom like in pic related.
No worries about the questions anon. Glad to help if I can.
Protip for artfriends.
There are tons of tutorials on Youtube. So if you're a broke ass neet you can still learn college level shit cheap as free.

Also very interested to see how good the writing actually is. You can tell the writing on the Boom show is much more elaborated and calculated than what we've gotten in any other Sonic product, it's pretty clear.

A lot of Bollers stories people brush off are perfectly serviceable but have shit pencils, coloring or both. The Silver Sonic issue is nearly the same jazz as these Genesis of a Hero issues, just flat and ugly.
>>161946873
What you're describing is literally the most boring way you can write a villain with a sick family member. Which is to say, that shit has been done before so hard and it's really difficult to make convincing.
A good story thrives on engagement, and part of that is working around reader expectations. Taking the most easy twist is even worse than playing something straight, because the audience doesn't find it surprising.
>>161952626
The first four issues were absolutely the perfect way to start an adventure comic. I have no idea why he wrote Boom like that but struggled to reintroduce the core cast in the reboot.

That's what I've been thinking for awhile now as well. It's their last ace in the hole in the event they fucked up bad enough to the point where the franchise is in complete jeopardy, since Adventure fans are still the biggest individual part of this broken broken fanbase.

>>161933947
Sonic almost went MGS2-ish. One of the ideas of SA2's early development had branching paths. As an example they descriped a submarine that could sink or be used depending on what Sonic does which would affect the story.
>>161980027
Anyone think that that the level design in 06 wasn't bad? It did the best it could do with shit game mechanics and physics. I like those generations mods that tweak them to work with the boost.
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=MPPYkehJI0U
I'm not saying that 06 is a good game just that the level design wasn't complete trash for all stages
>>161982356
Level design is probably the strongest thing going for 06.
>>161982356
Most stages feel incomplete to me. Doesn't help there are loading times in some like Crisis City that kill any pace. I think they had really good ideas for stages and I do love the visuals of them, but anything good left inside is hindered by gameplay issues.
I wish Generations had actual DLC with (three) extra stages each represented game. Would kill for Generations-style White Acropolis, Dusty Desert and Kingdom Valley.
>>161980014
The amount of resources an Adventure game would demand to be relatively competent would be huge and most likely more than they would allow for the project in case the franchise is performing so bad it's at risk of disappearing.
My tulpa is literally an old Sonic OC of mine brought to life only less furry. She does wonders keeping me from killing myself through my depression.

just play with it you'll find a style you like it's easier doing it on flat surfaces like blades to begin with so you can just use a gradient, doing it on curved stuff (like colouring Metal Sonic is a nightmare) means you'll have to use a brush and do a lot more fancy trickery.

And they're all cringy, what's your point?
>>162015164
I do, & I wouldn't call those songs cringy.
>>162015227
And? For a song in a Sonic game, it's cringe.
>>162014990
>he thought that was supposed to be Sonic singing
>>162015261
Music arguments are fine because nobody can "lose" or be proven wrong.
It's 100% opinion

Too bad everyone's opinion is shit

Edgy =/= cringey

Sweet Dreams remix song from 06.
Real question:
Regardless of whether you think the themes generally improved in SA2 or not, is the fact that they re-used lyrics and just changed the notes, rythem, and speed one of the best examples of how rushed of a game SA2 was?
All Sonic songs are good. Except Chronicles music.
>>162015470
There would be no reason to cringe at seeing that unless you, at some point, actually thought he was singing the song.
>>162015531
And they're all idiots.
>>162015227
And they're all bad. Same goes for whatever genre shit like Live and Learn and SONIC HEROES are in. God, what the fuck were they thinking by having that shit in the games
Is Blaze a huge autist?
>>162015597
now this is an acceptable answer
Fuck you, guys. Every song Crush 40 made is 10/10, you can't prove I'm wrong.
>>162015597
That too.
>>162015658
>>162015339
I've watched various let's plays of Sonic Adventure and watched several people play through at least Sonic's story.
Every. Single. One of them. Thought Sonic was supposed to be singing the lyrics in this scene. And every single one of them either laughed at how stupid and cringey it was or just sighed.
I get that he could easily just be talking to Tails, but given how terrible the game is and how you can't hear his voice, it's understandable to see how so many people would come to that conclusion.

They all really are. A final boss theme like https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=cvA_t2p54gE is better than anything Crush 40 has shat out. I'm glad the music's changed to be less tryhard
>>162015972
I always thought, at least at first, that he was supposed to be singing in that scene
>>162015972
I get that he's probably not singing, but my initial thought when I first saw the scene was that that's what was happening
>>162016048
>They all really are shit
There, fixed it
>>162015972
And they're idiots for thinking that. I never thought Sonic was singing, & I don't get how people could think that.
>>162015972
I've always thought he was supposed to be singing.
They went waaaaay overboard with his personality in that game and it just seemed fitting based on how over the top "LOL SO COOL" he was acting that he would end the game singing like that
>>162016048
Lost World's soundtrack is honestly one of the worst soundtracks in the main series.
>>162016228
>They went waaaaay overboard with his personality in that game and it just seemed fitting based on how over the top "LOL SO COOL" he was acting that he would end the game singing like that
Agreed. thankfully they've finally toned it down.
>>162016215
>I don't understand how people can have a different opinion than me
Nobody is asking you to change your opinion, but maybe don't have slouch a closed mind and understand that not everyone else thinks like you?
>>162016292
It's not the worst, but it's completely unimpressive.
>>162016352
Said nothing like that. I just don't get how people could think Sonic was singing, when the song sounded nothing like Sonic's voice.
>>162016292
Honestly, I think the music fits the franchise better than the likes of SA2 and Heroes, and holy shit it's miles better than the trainwreck of a soundtrack that is Secret Rings. You wanna talk cringey songs, every song in that game is terrible, because 90% of them are awful vocal themes
>>162016215
>I don't understand how people could vote for a racist like Trump! They're idiots for not voting like I did!!!

LPers are generally pretty far from the pinnacle of intelligence.

>getting something factually wrong is now an opinion
>>162016436
Try harder, /pol/tard.
>>162016461
Most people here have acknowledged that they don't actually think he was singing, just that that was their initial reaction.
Even the very first mention of it here >>162014990 has it in quotations, showing he knows he's not singing but thought that initially, as other do.
Calm down.
>>162016185
>he didn't drink watching Crush40 show in Sonic's Birthday this year
what a pleb taste
Tell me about the things you'd do to this girl.
>>162015972
"Sonic singing" as in his voice actor or in context of the song?
>>162016426
>trainwreck of a soundtrack that is Secret Rings
Nigga, I'll fucking fight you
>>162016682
>"Sonic singing" as in his voice actor or in context of the song?
They thought that sonic was supposed to be depicted as singing the song in that voice.
>>162016292
It's more forgettable than anything terrible really. ( that also pretty sums up the whole game) There's a few gems here and there.
>>162016648
Go away
>>162016732
Oh come on, you seriously can't tell me shit like Evil Foundry isn't cringeworthy as fuck. What even are those fucking lyrics?
>>162016795
But that sweet guitar solo
>>162015404
I didn't say they were all edgy, I said they were all cringy. Words have meanings.
>>162016739
In context the lyrics are supposed to come from Sonic's perspective.
>>162016603
>Most people here have acknowledged that they don't actually think he was singing
I never said I thought that. All I said was that it was an act of stupidity to think that at the point in time it was thought. Everyone else just got all overly defensive like it was a big deal I dared to say anyone was stupid over making a dumb misinterpretation.
>>162016795
Evil Foundry is the best track in the game, though. Maybe you should stop taking lyrics seriously and have fun with silly stuff for once in your life.

It's cringy as fuck. You'd have to be 12 to think this shit was anything but

>>162017104
I fail to see how one pretty generic line repeated over and over is bad enough to be cringey, unless you're an absolute music snob.
>>162017346
The delivery is cringe, and honestly the vocals in all the songs are cringe

Lost World had the second-weakest final boss theme in the entire mainline series, better than only Generations. Weaker than most side games too.
