We've covered a lot of great artists during the Unofficial Ride of Sonic fancomics (current thread >>442938), but some of their comics don't actually feature Sonic at all, gasp! This thread's all about showcasing those artists branching out and doing their own thing.
We'll be starting with my favorite artist Knockabiller, who you might remember from The Vulture (https://desuarchive.org/co/thread/128305743/#q128306553), a comic featuring a delinquent Silver that took home several of The Ride's awards (https://desuarchive.org/co/thread/131193200/#q131194985). This is PSYN/Psynthesis (psychic+synthesis, but pronounced like synthesis), and the first comic is Thief in the Night.

>>444740 I'll try to keep my thirst-posting to a minimum, but this guy is relentlessly handsome. He is a mink, so he must have some of those Sir Bartleby MontClair of Dresdin genes! His girlfriend's also mega hot.

>>444745 This page perfectly encapsulates what I love about this comic: needless violence, dynamic posing, beautiful art, fantastic dialogue, physical comedy, and hot characters.

>>444746 Another thing I like is that their relationship's already established so we don't have to sit through any "will they, won't they" drama and skip straight to the part where they're pelting rats at billboards together.
>>444748 I'll finish up today's comic with some lore. First up, the evolution from Sonic fancharacters to their own thing. Remix gets handsomer every year! Claire's pretty hot too, especially 2019. I also like how the kids get progressively more delinquenty.

>>444751 And just where do Remix and friends live? In a post-apocalyptic city known as The Ruins. Love settings like this, totally messed up on the surface, and even more messed up when its true nature is revealed.
>>444754 Claire's home town now, she's the daughter of their leader. It took me way longer than it should've to realize Claire's hair is shaped like a crescent moon.
>>444755 Decided to combine the infocards, here's Remix, Claire and their kids. I really like the idea that Remix and Claire are delinquents always up to hijinks but are otherwise responsible parents.
>>444756 And the rest of the major characters, most of whom haven't shown up in the comics yet. I think I'll leave it there for now, and post the next comic soon.
>>444757 Let's do the next issue, this one's called Bushwhackery and is all about whacking bushes! >>444762 Highly recommend a read when you get the chance, it's no joke better than The Vulture.
>>444774 Not much plot-related to say here, so instead I'll gush about Remix's outfit. Legwarmers, armwarmers, and a sling bag would look ridiculous in most cases but he really pulls it off.
>>444806 And now we get to the part of the case where the criminal attempts to justify their actions, as if everyone would go "Yeah, fair enough. You're free to go".
>>444811 Love this one. Remix is holding a Sunflower, Claire a Moonflower (that only blooms at night), Marshal a red rose (I guess because he's the dramatic one?), and Venice a bag of flour (points for originality!)
>>444751 >>444752 >>444754 >magic >curses >eldritch horrors >other dimensions and realities >society is full of animal people >showing "skin" (males) It's like we never left Mobius.
>>444757 >Maurice >literally changed his name to a natural phenomenon >dislikes the ocean, taps his foot, has a worrying lack of fear, impatient, reckless This is literally just Sonic. VULTUREBROS, THERE'S A CHANCE
>>444820 Yeah, it's a dynamic we don't get to see often enough >>444821 Pretty much! They do adopt their own styles later on though, pic related. And now I can thirstpost about the whole family! >>444822 I know right!? I really hope Knockabiller opens a Patreon so I can throw money at this >>444823 Yeah, not a fan of clowns myself. That Pierot though... >>444824 But with cool Wolverine energy claws! Honestly, I love that the setting's still got some vague Sonicy roots while being its own thing. For me, this is what good storytelling's all about, taking inspiration from what's gone before but making it your own. One day we'll get our Vulture conclusion, one day...
>>444973 And the hole's lead to the most terrifying place of all, a moderately fancy hotel! Look out Remix, those tiny drinks in the bar fridge are ridiculously overpriced!

>>445040 Now I said this is the Sonic-adjacent thread, but if you look closely, this is actually Knuckles the Cool Echidna from Tamers' Sonic Underground videos. Highly recommend checking it out if you haven't already. I'd describe it as the It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia and/or Venture Bros of Sonic content. //youtube.com/watch?v=Tamers12345/videos is the channel, but I'd start with this playlist: https://youtube.com/playlist?list=PL0U9kJDLvLDwDJ66rmlSyaqYsB8MPxCH0

>>445042 I think I'll finish this storytime here with the latest Remix and Claire art. This was posted in March of this year so there's still hope of more PSYN fun! Honestly, I wish Knockabiller would open a Patreon or something, I have a great need to throw money at this!
I've got the next Sonic-adjacent comic lined up, but I'll wait until konductor-kun posts their Sonic comics first. Also very happy to take suggestions!
