“You were a wonderful experience. | You were… everything.”
When I saw the Sonic Prime finale, this quote from Fionna and Cake instantly came to mind! (No I haven’t watched Adventure Time but I’m obsessed with that quote)
I’ll admit, I didn’t love Sonic Prime as a whole. But there were some really great gems in there, and I loved the very last 12 minutes of the finale! It was such a fantastic sequence. So devastating for everyone who will likely never see him again! The whole sequence broke my heart so naturally I just had to draw it!
The absolute DELIGHT I felt when I saw this was UNPARALLELED you have no idea
And then Sonic's reaction was EVEN BETTER
"Anyone but Big" followed up with the most dramatic "HOW COULD YOU, NINE?!?" Sonic is capable of producing with the animation to match
You can turn Sonic's team into robots to fight against him and he'll be angry, but Big?? DESPAIR. this is the worst possible outcome for him. Big wasn't even a fighter, he's literally just Sonic's homie, too good for this world too pure
Nine's response playing it completely straight and being 100% serious made it even better, like it somehow enhances the absurdity of the whole situation
And finally: Sonic being so completely thrown off by the existence of the Froggy Nuke that he doesn't even try to dodge it
EASILY one of the funniest sequences in the whole show, I love it here
check it out, it's the logo-less version of my cover for Sonic Winter Jam! (It's retail incentive 1:10!)
you all know, it’s no secret that working on sonic is a big dream of mine -- so when i got to write Winter Jam & do this cover, i was so excited! i put sonic on center-stage, in the bright spotlight, channeling that excited energy even in the winter snow. the comments comparing this cover to the older sonic art from the 90’s are a massive compliment for me. i'm so glad that all of this shines through. thank you!
this was a kinda big undertaking as an illustration -- there are 21 characters on this cover! -- so i gotta say a big thank you to David Mariotte at IDW & Sonic Team, for both giving me the opportunity and their part in helping me pull this all together into one big ol' drawing.
you may be asking: why is sonic on stage? what’s going on in all those screens?? what is up with shadow 3 & knuckles??? you’ll just have to read the story to find out! ❄️✨
As the inventor of the roboticizer, Uncle Chuck now wonders if the opposite is also possible. Can a non-living object like a puppet be granted new life? It would certainly require a lot of tinkering…
