>>2205 Hey, our thread is officially cleansed now that Carlos (IDWkun, but for Tamers threads) has been banned! Let's see if I can link it: Tamers12345's Sonic Underground #1: >>639
>>2212 That is weird. It didn't work for me the three times I tried. Both the last thread and when I tried making the new thread twice. Then I tried all three in a new test thread and it worked. I don't even know how I ended up with what I got in the OP.
Actually I think I know why it happens. The replacement is done on every matching string that is found globally. So when the first >>6 part is matched, it will match the beginning of the >>639 and replace it with a backlink; and the rest of the >>639 has been replaced and therefore no longer matches.
I'll put it on my todo list.
So, one of my many (many!) vices is occasionally reading the tumblr of randomfox (dour comics/Flynn-hating vorefag) mostly because I enjoy seeing all the comic and Flynn vitriol interspersed with surprisingly good takes on game lore and characterization, and because vore will never not be hilarious. I may need to take a brake from the Internet because I actually agree with one of his takes on Flynn. Send help! >Honestly this new wave of Sonic Prime hullabaloo is a really good example of that thing I was talking about where SEGA should pay Ian Flynn 80K a year for the rest of his life guaranteed on the condition that he delete all of his social media presence and his patreon and never ever do another podcast ever again. >>2222 Mindbreak GET! >>2234 Huh. Looking through my code for converting the plaintext post number into backlinks I have the exact same bug. My suggestion: add some sort of non capturing group to the end of the numbers. I think pic related could work
>>2222 >>2232 >>2234 fixed. hopefully it doesn't break anything else, if any other post references got broken retroactively, please point them out so I can check.
>>2237 I just added \b (word boundary) to the end. Your capturing group is kind of absurd, unless it's supposed to do something else than checking for non-number word boundaries.
>>2237 I blocked him and the idiot obnoxious lot like him a long while ago. One of the best things I ever did. fuck randomfox in particular for the DT to ian he made. Not cool in the slightest.
But I don't think Sonic Prime being canon was his decision though.
>>2215 >IDWkun >Boco >Shadowspammer >Tailsfag >Carlos Why are Sonic threads so fucking cursed? Granted, both 4chan and the Sonic fandom are cesspools, but I wouldn't expect to be able to name five fucking known schizos off the top of my head.
Knuckles and the Chaotix Issue 1 Page 12 https://mobiuscomics.com/knuckles
Whatever you know of Knuckles’ past and family from the Archie comics… forget it. Most of it. Things are different this time around. Questions will be asked and eventually answered. For now, this villainous couple has a new home to cause trouble out of. But isn’t being in the middle of the desert a headache for commuting?
>>2238 >I just added \b (word boundary) to the end. Yeah, that's a much more elegant solution >Your capturing group is kind of absurd It's only absurd because I have no idea what I'm doing! Really the only benefit is for cases when users don't add a space after the numbers >>2239 Yeah, he's a mega-jerk but that's what makes hate-reading fun >But I don't think Sonic Prime being canon was his decision though. Prime's only canon in the sense that it's an official piece of Sonic media that Sega wants you to spend money on. AoStH and SatAM were also canon at one point too (at least to SoA). The only exceptions are Boom, which was explicitly marketed as a sub-series with its own continuity, and the films, which Sega has little to no control over >>2241 My theory: when it comes to fan contribution, Sonic has a much wider/flatter bell curve than other fandoms. It means we get some great discussions, fangames, fancomics, etc, but on the other end we also get some of the most unhinged lunatics on the entire Internet >>2242 I ship it!
>>2242 Villain x villain and villain x heroine are the most based of pairs, also surprisingly these two have both really good chemistry and their designs go well together
https://x.com/KenPenders/status/1790918735227969553 >I received my advance copies of THE LARA-SU CHRONICLES: BEGINNINGS earlier today. Check it out. The absolute madman. Sega is rubbing their palms and salivating. And after Penders is nothing but a smoldering crater... Sega will continue to pretend that Archie doesn't exist.
>>2257 >Sega is rubbing their palms and salivating As am I! Seeing Sega slap the shit out of Penders will be the highlight of the year for me >>2258 That's the trick, it's not! Fun fact: But(t)ler and the others that worked on these issues wanted nothing to do with it and are wisely not receiving any money. In general, Sega will let fans make any sort of fan content, but they can only charge money for it if the proceeds are going to charity. They're also fine with things like Patreon provided everything's made available for free, so fans are just donating to the artist in general and not directly paying for content.
A while back Sega's legal team told one of the fangame developers to stop charging money for access, which I think caused the fan developers to shut the entire project. Frankly Penders is lucky Sega's so permissive with fan content. If it were Nintendo or Disney, Penders would've been sued for even thinking the word Echidna too loudly
>>2264 >Frankly Penders is lucky Sega's so permissive with fan content. If it were Nintendo or Disney, Penders would've been sued for even thinking the word Echidna too loudly Sega is the laziest company when it comes to their IP. They just drop and forget stuff and never try to cash in on it. At best something gets used in a mobile game. Nintendo would've erased Penders the second he was in court. Disney wouldn't leave a body. Penders would be a face on the side of a milk carton. I wouldn't be surprised if Paramount was more willing to sue him. They could score all the stuff he claimed and use it in their shows and movies.
I have no idea what's wrong with Sega. They don't know what to do with Sonic, don't seem to care enough about Sonic to really give the games a budget or time to be fleshed out, and yet they are willing to whore out Sonic to everything in the west (that they either hate or could care less about) and give as many restrictions as they feel like on a given day. >>2265 LOL
https://x.com/CEOofDestructix/status/1792220796481396911 The artist that ships their bear girl OC with Sgt. Simian. Makes sense because there's some subtle horny energy with this art. Lightning Lynx looks like he needs more ass definition.
So I see we're finally bound to a board all for ourselves. Tubular. Nicest Sonic fan people I ever meet are all here. My boyfriends. :)
Having myself lurked here and other few threads for plenty, I'm thinking about what I had vaguely promised all the way back to the last 4chan Unofficial Konductor thread; making a thread here all for just myself, of Rotor and anything related to, of other walruses, as well for alike big Sonic hunks and even posting away my own fantasies for Rotor and Gadget and cia., (N)SFW and so. It's gonna be a thread about Rotor and big Sonic hunks males (cute Sonic boys are welcome too, just that former will be more focused) and everything related to. The premise might be confusing to read, sorry about that.
Before anything, I'm sure it wouldn't hurt to hear off some personal consensus you lot must've got.
• Given aforementioned lined up offer, would (you), Anonymous, post there? Is there enough demand for it? • Is it okay if I also use my own thread to post there porn and smut of Rotor and cia. I like? I gotta know the policy of porn here. Is it allowed here, just you need to hide it behind NSFW marker first, or...? It won't be a porn dump thread at all, just that I wanna share there everything Rotor and cia. no matter how risqué or safe is it. • I might post there too some straight porn content that has Rotor in it. I'm no bi, just gay, but I like still to see him slaying down cute puss too when my mood strikes for it. For example, I like Sally, Bunnie and Nicole all sometimes paired up with Rotor. For gay fellows, is this okay for you? • I'm not biggie on putting up rules or really the concept of it myself, much less be anal over the content you posted is arbitrarily out of limits because my feelings tell so. I would like for my thread to be posted and contributed as spontaneous, and I would maybe say something like "this isn't 4chan, meaning; don't be afraid to post, we don't bite, and all I ask is that please, be courteous and kind, no matter which internet space you came from" as OP. Good mindset approach, or nein? • I might drip feed content there over posting it all ahead, as Rotor's fan stuff sadly is not as infinite as any other character (unless you might count Caleb Artboy's stuff, which it could add a bodacious amount into fuel?). Believe me when I say this; I have scoured for every possible corner ever. Yes, I even know already that one Rotor x Tails doujin. Okay for you all?
That's all I can think of to ask and wonder, but do slap my face if I might'a forgo' something. Please don't be afraid to tell me (you)r thoughts. Regards, walrus fucker. :waving_hand:
>>2280 Also thirsty bud! were you the one who replied to me on 4chan /trash/'s thread of gay bulky porn about " motorboating Rotor's Boomers"? Because I really liked it myself. I will steal that jargon to me! Talking about this thread if you're wondering. https://boards.4chan.org/trash/thread/65744238#p65877548
>>2291 Hey, nice you to see you here. And on those things you said:
We do have the horny thread but that's for basically safe horny, Horny but no real seggs, benis and vagoo. Also sorry not gay personally to post in any bara or gay sonic thread. But idk about real nsfw being posted on our board but there is /pco/ on the site for you to freely do that for sure.

Page 15 and 19 are now done. Unfortunately since the Patreon is stuck at around the same amount (lost a couple $1 patrons recently), I have to limit how many pages artists do. Just enough to keep the updates steady and the buffer consistent.
Just watched Castle in the Sky. That shit was KINO! I demand everyone here to watch ASAP! What does this post have to do with Sonic? Well, this film has inspired the Sonic series in multiple ways https://stockpotinn.blogspot.com/2014/09/the-sonic-3-and-laputa-connection.html But god damn. That was so fun and made me so happy. Watch it.
>>2296 Oh shit, it Renfield and hopefully a Knuckles approved Happyland/Carnival Night >Kragok I honestly didn't expect to see him or even being used >He's getting a personality. Hey great! Lien-Da has her starscream persona and insecurity but i'd really like to see how you flesh out her brother since you're using him. Penders never really bothered and killed him off lol.
>>2300 I thought Nausicaa was pretty good until watching the next one. Just so damn better and good with very fun characters. Can't believe it took me to watch Ghibli in general and this. >>2301 Oh yeah, I remember. They fit so well and don't forget too, the island could be controlled with it's own weapon too from Azure Lake.
>>2302 >the island could be controlled with it's own weapon too from Azure Lake. You're talking about when Knuckles piloted the island like a mech and blasted the Death Egg with a big-ass lightning cannon, right? Absolute fucking kino. One of my favorite ever Fleetway moments, and one I use to recommend the comic to others. It's one of the craziest and most badass scenes in the whole thing.
>>2303 >You're talking about when Knuckles piloted the island like a mech and blasted the Death Egg with a big-ass lightning cannon, right? Yes! Lightning of Laputa is something for sure was the inspiration for that. Indeed, it's very bad ass. Angel Island having things like that hidden, waiting to be used is something that should be leaned upon I think. All the more reason for Knuckles to protect the island than just keeping it afloat.
>>2304 Agreed, we need to learn a few more of Angel Island's hidden secrets, as well as learn more about the Master Emerald. I've heard people debate the "destroy the Master Emerald so that Knuckles can move on" idea before, and I really do get both sides.
The Master Emerald hasn't been relevant since the Adventure Era, and we already know that Chaos is what wiped out the echidnas. It's frustrating to have one of the franchise's most beloved characters stuck guarding a big magic MacGuffin that doesn't seem to have much further story potential.
But at the same time, the Island gives Knuckles a sense of responsibility, and his backstory is deeply tied in with the Island and the Emerald. So having more to explore with both is a good way of bringing Knuckles in.
I see what you mean. Despite it being Penders, he had a good idea with Knuckles having his own adventures on the island and even sometimes off it too. Wasn't always the best executed lmao, but it wasn't too bad of an idea for someone to try it again, like conductors ongoing of it.
But Game Knuckles can never really have that luxury since he's really the only one on it but regular animals. Yeah there's been some ideas of dealing with the guardian problem with like shade to guard it if she was canon. But then people would be like, "okay but i'd like to see shade too"
If it were up to me, i'd bring those fleetway robots into canon or have tails build some automatic protection with Knuckles' okay. That way, Knuckles could leave for a good while for stories without much problem. No more of that "WHY IS HE JUST LEAVING IT UNPROTECTED?!?!" because there is something to do that for that exact purpose
So do people hate Frontier's story now? cause wasn't expecting my comment saying it was fine to draw in such vitriolic disagreement from 2 people in the megaman thread
>>2328 Any Sonic or Archie thread on /co/ is just an extension of /vg/ and you should know how they feel about anything that Ian touches. I've also noticed more complaining about Ian on twitter but I think I'm getting more overall negativity from the Sonic fanbase on my feed.
>>2346 >>2350 I think pretty much the whole fandom knows this feel. There's a reason we all have to say shit like "I love post-Flynn, pre-boot Archie (Sonic Universe included) with a hint of lemon" instead of just "I love Archie Sonic."
Sonic and the Freedom Fighters Issue 6 Page 9 https://mobiuscomics.com
Speedy makes a reappearance and he’s sporting a new suit! After failing to beat the Freedom Fighters and the need to capture Tails, he got an upgrade to help. But it turns out he’ll be using his new power on something else. Also, how does Speedy know that’s AI Sally’s voice? We’ll just say that he heard her on the radio or they passed each other on the ship at some point.
https://x.com/AdamBryceThomas/status/1793494224278811078 >Guess I'll address this after seeing it around for the last few years: >I do not trace models. Period. >Here's what's going on with this and my work on specifically sonic comics, in these types of instances. ABT finally setting the record straight. There's a bunch of tweets from him in this thread if you want to read it all and say what you think of it all.
>>2361 thanks, especially love how Rouge's design came out in terms of colouring and design. My version of Sally always comes out well so no need to point that out
>>2358 >>2357 >>2359 I don't get the idea that speedy is considered stupid (Unless it's archie trope), he's honorable and the game shows proof of it, he challenges Tails in a flight battle/trail and drops an emerald to tails once he got on the top of the mountain.
Sonic the Continuation Issue 22 Page 12 https://www.deviantart.com/okida/art/S-T-C-Issue-22-Page-12-1055446894 This just makes the tragedy of Sonic Adventure 2 look wholesome in comparison.
>>2378 Despite all the shit the Bri'ish fans gave this comic and does have its own flaws. I like it more than STC-O. Lot more engaging for me. STC-O biggest problem is just keeping the old format which kinda sucked. STContinuation being more like Archie is better I think. Only thing I’d like is maybe some bit more levity from all the dark.
>>2374 Giving Tails an emerald does show he has a sense of honor. If you think about, Speedy might have been the first person who was somewhat nice to Tails. Too bad he ends up as KFC
>>2399 > but nostalgic isn't inherently positive suppose makes sense >>2400 The low points for me personally are the future stuff and house of cards. Although I will say it wasn't super duper terrible to me. More like "why was this a thing?" >>2401 Please don't start, especially here. We can have conversations and criticisms about things without resorting to freaking out or slurs you know.
>>2397 He was even pretending that he didn't post shit that he blatantly posted in other threads. Like there's some other dude going "CUCKSHIT CUCKSHIT SONIC IS A MARY SUE CUCKSHIT CUCKSHIT."
https://x.com/unhinged_honey/status/1794038136768442734 >I was feeling nostalgic about the later Archie Sonic issues with Steven Butler's art style with Matt Herms' coloring, and wanted to try replicating it myself using Princess Sally Acorn as my subject. Damn, that's a very good recreation of both.

Mighty, buddy, bro, compadre. Surge looks like she’ll bite, scratch, and shock you. And that’s if you only try to talk to her. Unless that’s part of the appeal to you. Weirdo. Anyway, mission failed.

Well that's me finally caught up with all the comics! >>2291 Hey Rotor-bro, nice to see you again! As the other anon said, we've got a horny thread for swf and the /coq/ and /pco/ threads for nsfw, but what we don't have is a waifu/husbando thread. Would be nice to have a thread where we can talk about our best boys/girls >spoiler lmao, that wasn't me but I have made similar comments before! I'll really need to check out the /trash/ threads more often. Hope you've been doing well. I've missed chatting with you but have been too swamped with work to email you ;_; >>2298 Gasp! >>2299 >>2302 Easily one of my favorite animations, although I like Nausicaä of the Valley of the Wind a little more. I'd also highly recommend checking out the Nausicaä manga since it's the only manga Miyazaki ever did and the film only covers a small fraction of the plot. It's actually one of the few manga I actually bought the hardcover collected editions for. I'd also recommend Nadia: the secret of blue water. Too much changed between development for them to fit perfectly, but Nadia's kind of a prequel to Evangelion, which is kind of a prequel to Nausicaä >>2301 Yeah, for whatever reason Fleetway got that S3&K was a massive Laputa reference. Interestingly, as part of his research for the film, Miyazaki visited Wales in 1985 and took inspiration from the coal mining strike and the architecture of the region. Of course, Penders took one look more like zero looks, hew hew at S3&K and thought Krypton >>2306 >WHY IS HE JUST LEAVING IT UNPROTECTED Honestly, just have an alarm system set up and have the teleporters rigged to warp the ME between the various shrines. Not that it really matters, it's a floating island that can't be detected by conventional technology and doesn't have a fixed flight path. It's pretty safe considering Eggman's the only real threat and he's usually too busy causing whatever mischief that's got Knuckles to leave his island >>2317 WWMH!Tails still best Tails! >>2324 B-but the world building! I can't really criticize them, considering I've spent the last month researching Sumerian lore instead of actually writing a synopsis for my AU ;_; >>2329 >I've also noticed more complaining about Ian on twitter At least I have the decency to spoil my Ian complaints! Actually, I do have one nice thing to say about him: You can tell he helped write Frontiers because he always writes Sonic and Knuckles as unintentionally flirty >>2330 It's very much a "let's try to hamfistedly try to re-establish everyone's motivations and character development through words instead of actions" plot. >>2343 Still would
>>2346 Sometimes I wonder if the people who make these criticisms realize there are a few garbage stories/ideas in any long-running comic >>2356 I love Speedy's 80s/90s anime-esque battle armor. It's so cool! >>2360 lmao, he's so smug! >>2363 Huh. That makes a lot of sense actually. Personally, I liked when his art was less rounded but he's still a phenomenally talented artist. Frankly, the fact that he doesn't earn a living wage with the hours he puts in is a travesty. I'm actually surprised artists ever do more than a few years on comics before moving on >>2375 This image perfectly captures what I loved about Archie, they'd just put a couple of characters together that don't get to interact much and send them on adventures together >>2378 Secretary-bot's such a cutie >>2379 I'm still mad about STCO's treatment of Tekno and Shorty so I've been enjoying the plot of this more. Still, I'm taking points off of Okida for not including best boy Turbo >>2381 She's so thicc! >>2383 Damn. Artist is https://www.tumblr.com/niseku btw >>2398 Same
>>2412 Now that's a great outfit! Artist is https://x.com/dadotronic >>2456 lmao, I still can't believe the only characters Sonic has canonically married are Sally and Robotnik >>2464 AFAIK all unicode does. I was able to post some cuneiform a few threads ago >>2469 So he was Scott Fulop the entire time, deepest lore! >>2471 Oh no, Mighty's gone full Slutnic! Actually I've got an interesting Mighty x Tangle comic to do >>2486 Or even better, the Typing of the Dead guys! >>2492 >Ever hear of the code of Hammurabi It's a genuinely interesting document, and shows just how complex society was back then
>>2495 >This image perfectly captures what I loved about Archie, they'd just put a couple of characters together that don't get to interact much and send them on adventures together Agreed. It was a nice antidote to the Sonic Heroes Team autism. You'd have Shadow beating up Bean, or Princess Sally meeting the Chaotix.
>>2497 Having such a large number of writers and artists, there's a few stories I like better in STCO, but Okida's has the benefit of a single creative vision that's anything but meandering >spoiler No argument here! >>2500 I ship them! >>2503 Exactly! I just want some of the spotlight to fall on characters that aren't Sonic or Eggman >>2504 It's funny how giving Sonic big punching fists just makes him look more like a twink, not that I'm complaining! >>2505 The angriest bird™
>>2494 >I'd also highly recommend checking out the Nausicaä manga I was actually looking to getting that. I will because it's world was pretty cool even if I liked CITS better. > I'd also recommend Nadia: the secret of blue water Sure thing! >Interestingly, as part of his research for the film, Miyazaki visited Wales in 1985 and took inspiration from the coal mining strike and the architecture of the region. That's awesome, always cool when people go the extra miles for that, but yeah, penders was just being penders >It's pretty safe considering Eggman's the only real threat and he's usually too busy causing whatever mischief that's got Knuckles to leave his island I mean what you say is true but you never know about any other groups with interest in it appearing.
>>2495 There's one thing in trying to give a character somes flaws and make mistakes and then there's that whole thing. yikes >>2497 >spoiler So true >>2502 She's having a date with her kidnapper lol. kinda cute though >>2504 I knew this reminded me of something >>2506 Wholesome >>2507 Oof >>2510 Cute and adorable! >>2512 >last bit of archie behind a paywall aww man... >>2513 I think i'll save my thoughts for this until conductor does the actual pages later
>>2524 >last bit of archie behind a paywall >aww man... The unfortunate thing is that Herms has other stuff there as well. Including the original Endangered Species pages.
>>2525 >The unfortunate thing is that Herms has other stuff there as well. Including the original Endangered Species pages. Actual shame. It'd be nice if they just release that stuff for everyone like Ian with LHT. Like cmon, comic is over. Man...
>>2528 iirc if you used the level select, you could select characters, and the character order was something like, sonic & tails, sonic only, tails only, knuckles. except that knuckles was not properly implemented (he was taken out of the game as it got split in two), so he had sonics palette and his routes were only half functional. either that or you could use game genie codes to activate him, I forgot, this is a 30 years old glitch by now.
>>2520 >I always thought Naugus was the cooler magic villain desu. He is, easily. Even Naugus' backstory is more interesting than anything pre-Flynn Mogul did.
Fun fact: Penders didn't even come up with the concept of an evil Sonic, it was SEGA Licensing Rep Bob Harris >If this new world is in effect a mirror universe of existing life on Mobius (please note correct spelling). Sonic would not be a doctor but simply an evil Sonic. In effect, this would not be a mirror universe at all but more like a reverse universe (let's call it revuniverse), where good is bad and vise versa. Inasmuch, the title "Doctor Sonic" is inappropriate, so let's consider alternative titles like "The Good, the Bad and the Hedgehog" or "Opposites Attract", etc. https://kenpenders.com/sonic-the-hedgehog-history-from-my-perspective/ So, if a Sega employee came up with the idea of an evil Sonic, Flynn came up with the name Scourge, and Spaz came up with his green redesign, what exactly does Penders think he owns? >>2509 Weirdly I've not been banned from the previous two Swat Kats threads, despite the art I've been posting >>2510 It's back! >>2513 I really wish they had the budget for backgrounds >>2520 >Don't be too greedy, tp! All the world's twinks are mine!
>>2523 >I was actually looking to getting that. It's a fantastic story, and beautifully drawn. Without spoiling anything, it fills in the world and provides a good ending to the story that only really got started in the film >Sure thing! Fair warning: the island arc is absolute trash and the story's tone varies wildly between a Miyazaki film and Evangelion. The setting's really cool and the comic relief villains are pretty much Team Rocket >That's awesome, always cool when people go the extra miles for that, but yeah, penders was just being penders It's always nice to see creators take the time out to actually experience the world. It's one of the reasons I like Sonic Adventure so much >I mean what you say is true but you never know about any other groups with interest in it appearing. One day we'll get reoccurring non-Eggman villains, one day! >>2524 So handsome! >>2525 ;_; >>2529 You also see Knuckles' picture colored blue while it's still spinning at the end of an act >>2532 lmao
>>2533 >So, if a Sega employee came up with the idea of an evil Sonic, Flynn came up with the name Scourge, and Spaz came up with his green redesign, what exactly does Penders think he owns? Well he does think he owns Shade even after losing against Bioware. He'll try to use the law to his advantage and when he can't then he'll ignore it.
>>2533 From Penders' blog: >SEGA Licensing Rep Bob Harris was totally against me doing the SONIC LIVE! Special as he objected to the concept of me using my son as a character in the story. He was so adamant against the story that even when offered to have his son or daughter (if he even had any) featured in the story, he still wouldn’t give his approval. Once he was gone, I resubmitted the story and went full speed ahead. I created the airbrushed illustration of Sonic for the cover as well as took the photos of my son Steve and niece Jessica that were used on the cover as well as inside the story. Should've listened to Bob! At least we have confirmation that Penders took those dreadful photos >Editor Justin Gabrie took some flak from publisher Michael Silberkleit once he saw the additional costs incurred as a result of incorporating full color photos into the process, but by then the book was on the presses and I achieved what I set out to do. Archie really always was a disorganized madhouse.
There's way more, but it's mostly Penders doing his usual revisioning of history and making catty swipes at the people he's worked with
>>2535 I guess the logic is "I invented girl Knuckles so this character that at most pays homage to her is mine too." Fun fact: he never won a lawsuit with Bioware, so he really doesn't own Shade. Not that it really matters, since he's never won a lawsuit with Sega, who actually own the characters

Seriously though, I'm planning on making non-lewd models for Remington and my OC >>2539 Nice! >>2541 It happens to me if I search for text in the page (which I do to find the previous comic pages to link to) >>2543 >What is it with this franchise and incompetence Sega is just like that unfortunately >>2544 >spoiler I laughed ;_;
https://x.com/BumbleKast/status/1795849997499416924 >Also this thumbnail has had us laughing since the first sketches.. This brilliance is a collab between our artists @Kiimera_Nova and Noni! >Go give them some love.. N'oni is over at Tumblr here https://tumblr.com/nintendoni-art
>>2649 Yeah, I mean Gay Cowboy Knuckles from Trick With the Hat is OOC as hell and everyone loved him. If I stopped to get upset about every weird bit of Sonic fanwank I'd never get anything done.
I was planning on doing Team Chaotix Detective Agency tomorrow but the artist is working on the final chapter for it. I could save it for then buuuut I don't know when it will be ready and the chapters I have so far are pretty beefy.
Turtle Power Page 159 https://www.deviantart.com/okida/art/Turtle-Power-Page-159-1057949910 It's the Johnny incident all over again except with a person that Sonic barely knows!
>>2664 I really like how Okida has kept the thing with Sonic getting majorly pissed at his friends getting hurt. Espically if Chaos does it >>2665 This series franchise reputation would just go down the drain even if they did that desu. Shadow's game is already bueno enough
>>2709 I’ll say that I don’t really hate the IDW bad guys. At most negative I’m whatever. But like just in like the games which does affect the game like comics, yeah it’s pretty weak. Deadly Six are the only real reoccurring nit Eggman dudes there.
>>2710 >rough and tumble aren't eggman's lackeys because he has fan favorites orbot and cubot >mimic is just shapeshifter guy with knife, causing drama and secretly inconveniencing the heroes >gay dead is FUCKING DEEEEEEEEEAD >the rogues are just friendly antagonists >clutch is running a shady business THAT BASTARD >if idw lasts another year then the deadly six will make their mandated return >surge and kit... things were better before issue 50 >eggman is sonic's best friend that he has worked with twice in a little over a dozen issues It really is a damn shame. None of them are properly set up as legitimate threats. Even comparing it to early Archie, you had Snively, Crocbot, Nack (superior to Fang), and a vast variety of boss tier badniks. I wonder if there's a limit to giving Eggman new badniks. I'd write a tearful letter to Iizuka begging him to let me use someone else. Anyone but Eggman and the Deadly Six!
>>2713 Mario kind of went through a time where innovation was stifled. The last Paper Mario game had that infamous rule about no new notable character with some exceptions. But there was no cutoff over what characters could no longer be used and it still has the various other spin offs. Sonic's been restricted so much and for so long.
>idw sonic thread gets replies >sonic prime thread gets replies >archie sonic bait threads gets replies >archie sonic online thread barely gets anything Well I tried to keep it alive but I think I'll let it die since there's barely any interest in it.
>>2738 When you think about it Senity the Albino and Bort the Creep pretty much predicted Ariem and Infinite >Silver the Cockahog Well they're not wrong!
>>2745 I find it amusing when people turn Amy into Sally. Basically "we have Sally at home." But you could say they make her like her Fleetway counterpart which is one of my favorite versions of her.
>>2749 >>2750 Fleetway Sally being a reporter is nice. And now Okida is slowly changing her to her Archie version. Will it be revealed that she's actually royalty???
And yeah, Fleetway Amy is great because she's more about getting stuff done and not about getting with Sonic. The only time Amy being in love with Sonic works is when Sonic feels the same way, like in Sonic Boom. Otherwise it hurts her character.
>>2751 Imagine if Okida builds up to STC Sonally and basically making Amy and Sonic clone siblings was one of the steps of his master plan Getting aromantic STC Sonic to actually be into her lol
But I liked that she liked to mess with him in the playful way with calling herself his girlfriend. That was cute because he’d get flustered and mad, the reaction she wanted. Yeah in boom, always made out to be friends with benefits from what I’ve seen
Bad news for crop-top Shadow enjoyers, Sonic Mars is canceled ;_; https://the-ride.neocities.org/comics/2022-03-24-sonic-mars/
>Over the last week, I've come to the decision that realistically, I'm not going to return to Sonic Mars in the foreseeable future. As the comic has been lying dormant for almost 3 years now with no work being done in the background, I'm going to pull the plug and call it a day.
>I know this is disappointing, but my life has changed, my interests have changed, and I don't feel like Sonic Mars represents any of my current or future work. I don't have an active interest in Sonic anymore, and this comic has kind of felt like a ghost haunting me. The blog will be deleted around the end of July or August.
>Rest assured! I'll upload an archive of the comic pages onto the Web Archive before the blog is deleted; I simply don't want an "active" site for it anymore and for it to be associated with my current work. I'll include the scripts for Ch1-3 and anything else I have lying about for the project. Please don't contact me about the project in any shape or form, including about continuations, usage of assets, and redistribution.
>Thank you for your support.
I'll re-storytime it once everything remaining has been released
>>2794 That is a shame. It's nice to see some comics come back but I've gotten used to expecting it to never happen. At some point I need to go around and check the other dormant comics. For example, looks like Silver 1763 is still dead.
>>2794 >>2805 What makes this even funnier is that if you check out their personal blog, the guy behind the comic was still reblogging Sonic art as little as a day ago. This isn't a case of "I don't have an active interest in Sonic anymore", it's a case of "I don't want to be associated with Sonic in my personal work" (which is a riot, because they have an art blog that's 90% memes/funposts when it's not Hatsune Miku or Cruelty Squad).
I have no fucking idea why these people can't be honest and just say what they really mean instead of having to blatantly lie to people and pussyfoot around despite otherwise outright making it clear they intend to wipe everything without question.
>>2752 >Yeah in boom, always made out to be friends with benefits from what I’ve seen They mutually like each other in Boom. It's not just them being friends with benefits, it's a case where they'd probably hook up and fuck every day if they weren't both disasters who can't hold their spaghetti.
>>2524 >>2525 >>2534 I really wish there was a way to leak patreon posts reliably that didn't rely on having to get someone to pay for that shit then leak it elsewhere. So much stuff is basically permanently patreon-gated and kemono.su doesn't cover even half of it.
I've made some progress on the Unleashed model, it's now round and has the continents in the right place! I've added an 3d model viewer here if anyone's interested: https://the-ride.neocities.org/unleashed/ Next is getting the tectonic plates working properly and then somehow attaching it all to a world map so we can compare with our Earth! >>2801 Yeah, it really does suck. Still, at least we're getting the script for the third chapter so we might get some closure. It's a lot better than when artists just delete everything with no explanation >At some point I need to go around and check the other dormant comics I've got most of them in my rss reader (which is the only reason I remember to post comic updates), although it doesn't do xitter so I've been neglecting those >Silver 1763 is still dead They live in the town where the Knuckles show was shot so you'd think that would motivate them! >>2803 Tails might have the figure, but Sonic has the confidence to pull it off! >>2804 >Even Omega is worried! There's a violent battle going on outside and he's stuck inside as just a head ;_; >>2808 Yeah, the whole thing's a little frustrating. They're clearly still into Sonic but I guess it's no longer to the extent that they want do do an ongoing comic about him
>>2509 Just got banned from all boards via /tg/ for posting in a designated board quality thread for responding to a post calling out the mods for literally engineering most of the funposting and spam on the board/site, and also pointing out that they protect certain pet spammers.
What makes this really funny is that there was a faggot actively defending the stupid shit they do and saying "mods don't personally ban anyone, it's people spamming and reporting that causes them to act" and he was calling everyone paranoid schizos for thinking the moderation was out to get them. Conveniently, every post addressing him or saying stuff that contradicted his narrative (including mine) was deleted and the users presumably banned, before the thread itself was deleted. Meaning it was likely a janny or one of the other staff coming in to defend himself by banning everyone who called them out.
What I want to know is why ban anyone if you were just going to delete the thread anyway.
>>2825 Damn, sorry to hear that. If anything, it sounds like the mods made the thread themselves so they could fish for users to ban. They're incredibly thin skinned and petty like that and they do it for free
>>2825 >>2829 Sounds like the same situation we have on /co/. >Tailsfag >IDW-kun >Moorefag >Sci-Fi fag So many known schizos, and none of them get banned.
>>2823 >Tails might have the figure, but Sonic has the confidence to pull it off! And Knuckles' embarrassment and frustration makes it better. >>2825 >What I want to know is why ban anyone if you were just going to delete the thread anyway. Not to make a statement but just give you the middle finger. >>2830 >So many known schizos, and none of them get banned. Almost like they're connected to the moderation or are the moderation.
I figured out how to do a 25/30 Years Later story. Sonic Generations! But instead of Sonic meeting his alternate/classic/past(?) self it would be something like being sent into the future! But that wouldn't be for a long ass time. Can't tackle that major villain until after dealing with another one that I haven't introduced yet.
https://x.com/SuperDeionBro/status/1797032858944688631 >✨Sonic & Sally: Dream Team✨[Sonic AU Idea]... An adult Sonic (a pilot) & his wife Sally (a policewoman) are a kick-ass action hero duo! Curvy Sally... absolute unite Sonic...
>>2830 Horrorfag has literally been allowed to make like 10 different rule violations (spamming, flooding, off-topic posting, creating flamewarring, etc) and yet you'll never see him banned regardless of how many reports you send in. Meanwhile, you can make a single joke in a thread or post in a thread they don't like, and the mods will instantly give you 3 days without warning. Repeat for /pol/posters, the other schizos you listed, Twitter screencaps, and more.
4chan is borderline unusable at this point. Literally anywhere - even Reddit - is better. The best sites are the ones with practically no fucking moderation for a reason because giving no-lifes on the internet even a crumb of power always leads to shit like 4chan.
>>2850 I thought the schizo that stalked our storytime threads for the longest time was pretty bad, until I saw the Gwenshizo in Spider-Man threads. Absolute insanity and it sucks this type of crazy just gets encouraged over there.
>>2851 The writing was on the wall when the moderation let the /dbs/ schizos all but outright take over Dragonball threads and metastasized to the rest of the site because they just weren't willing to go the full mile and range ban every single fucking unmedicated unhinged lunatic shitting up those threads. In fact, they actively GAVE UP and chose to ignore it to the point you can get banned for complaining about how badly they're ruining discourse nowadays.
That shit would NEVER fly on any other site with non-thin skinned tyrannical assholes in charge. And the fact I'm still seeing tribalwarring over the mere mention of sites like Tumblr or Reddit when 4chan has become so much worse than either its like a micro-Twitter tells me that the staff have long since achieved their goal of getting a "community" of mindless sycophants incapable of going against them.
>>2848 >My name is Sergeant Sally Acorn, Detective Lieutenant, Police Squad. There'd been a recent wave of gorgeous fashion models found naked and unconscious in laundromats on the West Side. Unfortunately, I was assigned to investigate holdups of neighborhood credit unions. I was across town doing my laundry when I got the call on the double killing. It took me twenty minutes to get there. My boss was already on the scene.
Knuckles and the Chaotix Issue 1 Page 13-2 https://mobiuscomics.com/knuckles
Just when you think I was done with the surprises! There’s some unexpected romance brewing between what should be enemies! Mighty’s hormones are getting the better of him. Surge sees a meal ticket and maybe a way to have some fun. So why not? Surely this won’t lead to any conflict and heartache!
>>2866 The jump from this from the previous page is kinda weird ngl, I had to double check
But anyway for my usual comments: Mighty got that rizz but surge probably has some sort of ulterior motive but kissing a boy along the way wouldn’t hurt >”don’t expect to get any action” YOOOOO! Lmao. Mobians really can’t stop making some sort of sexual innuendo >angelums Okay I found that kind of cute as well as kit since he’s her kid brother basically. Which speaking of him, I’m waiting to see what crack ship you make canon for him later if you do lol
And hey, notice mighty switched from his Archie gloves to the regular white gloves. Just pointing out in case you want some consistency but I could also accept he just changed at some point jej
EARTHA KITT as Rouge?! | BumbleKast for May 31st, 2024 - Ian Flynn Q&A Podcast >"They’re not mutually exclusive. It’s not just a hub for Sonic. The hub is for characters that don’t travel as much. So, Sonic and those who do go travel, yes. And then every now and again, they come back to the Restoration HQ and it’s like, ‘Hey, we’ve been on an adventure!’ And now that you have some place more permanent, you have a context of how far they’ve been and how long they’ve been away. So there’s a greater sense of having been gone somewhere instead of just, ‘Oh, we’re now in a random location because we’re adventuring.’ So he doesn’t live at Restoration HQ. We’ve just kind of been hanging around there recently, and then he goes out and does other things. One does not stop the other from happening."
>>2871 Haven't really seen IDW Sonic go on any long trips around the world like he did in Archie. Like when he went after Naugus or during the Iron Dominion arc. If anything, Sonic spends more time at Tails' house than anywhere else.
>>2842 I really do like this ship, it's so cute! >spoiler IDW should take notes, this is crying lesbians done right! >>2844 >And Knuckles' embarrassment and frustration makes it better. No arguments here! >>2844 >spoiler The lunatics are running the asylum. It seems fitting considering the exact same thing happened to Something Awful >>2845 Nice! Sending the characters to the future is much more engaging, and allows you to explain the changes without it feeling forced. Of course, I expect no less than five (5) issues dedicated to boring zoom calls and boring pool parties >Can't tackle that major villain Ah yes, Punished Remington: an Echidna denied his pizza delivery tip >>2848 >dilf Sonic yes_hahaha_yes.png! >>2850 >Literally anywhere - even Reddit - is better Gasp! Honestly, I never liked the threaded conversations and the upvote-centered culture >>2852 >the staff have long since achieved their goal of getting a "community" of mindless sycophants incapable of going against them Yeah, they wanted a crab bucket filled with misanthropes and they certainly got one. The fact that relatively well adjusted people still post there probably causes them genuine psychic damage >>2853 That chest! Reading ahead spoiler: I can't believe how spicy Thrash is, and during pride month too! Seriously though, I'm enjoying his scheming and shit stirring. My only criticism was that the page was a little dialogue-heavy. Of course, it's a difficult thing to keep up the plot speed without more text >>2854 He's a wasp now! >>2861 It's a great look >>2866 Mighty no! >>2871 >>2872 Credit where it's due, Flynn's 100% correct about this one. Sonic spends all of his time running around and while he's been depicted as having a house in the screensaver art, it's pretty clear that he's just always traveling >So there’s a greater sense of having been gone somewhere instead of just, ‘Oh, we’re now in a random location because we’re adventuring.’ And he loses me here. Those are exactly the sort of stories we want to see. The entire point of an ongoing comic is to fill in the details of the setting, and for Sonic that means showcasing all the weird and wonderful places where exciting adventures can happen. >>2873 Exactly! Even Archie, which was very much grounded in the Knothole/Mobotropolis/Robotropolis area, ensured characters went on adventures to exotic locations >>2887 Cute!
>>2888 >I can't believe how spicy Thrash is, and during pride month too! Seriously though, I'm enjoying his scheming and shit stirring. My only criticism was that the page was a little dialogue-heavy. Of course, it's a difficult thing to keep up the plot speed without more text I like him being a dark mirror for Knuckles as well as heightening his discrimination towards others, especially echidnas. I actually had to work with his dialogue a bit, keep it down as best as possible, and was even thinking of having it take up part of the next page. He was even going to talk more about how much he hates the heroes.
>>2866 >Mighty: I can fix her. Then, maybe, fuck her Brains out!! >Surge: Sweet, Free Food! >Kit: MONEY!! Kinda love how easy it is to bribe Surge & Kit.
