Today we’re starting early and doing the two other issues that ASO considers canon. These stories are not finished so don’t expect a resolution just yet. Endangered Species 1 and Sonic Universe 51. Endangered Species takes place after Sonic 243 which is Endangered Species Part 1. Sonic Universe 51 is the first part to Bunnie’s arc.
>>126063052 >>126063128 >new echidna OC Staying true to the text in every way possible, I see. Or is tonfa girl some obscure character they brought back?
>>126063188 I appreciate that they made a point to include Julie-Su and Saffron in the story. I never much cared for them, personally, but they got the shaft especially bad in the Pendering.
>>126063213 >immediately establishing character and motivation for Saffron These people care SO MUCH!
>>126063257 >bottom left panel WOW. Lien-Da hasn't gone power mad AT ALL.
Seriously, this is easily the most Starscream-y she's ever been. If she gets god powers and turns into a giant... well frankly, I'd respect that reference.
>>126063518 Everyone should get their time to shine. >>126063539 And this is the preview for the next issue. No idea when the next one will come out but this is a good start. I suppose I'll give a five minute break before posting Sonic Universe 51.
>>126063632 Yes, I like it being as faithful to the source material as possible. >>126063563 Alright, let's switch on over to Sonic Universe 51 featuring Bunnie!
>>126063681 Honestly, while it IS good stuff, I'm just so endeared to how much these folks are really giving it their all. It's such a damn shame they can't legally accept any monetary compensation for any of this, cause they deserve it for putting in the work.
>>126063108 I remember reading about this issue on the lost media wiki. Is it true it was completely rewritten due to Penders' legal bullshit being at its strongest at the time?
>>126063774 >>126063785 There's a couple ways to go about it. The team working on that issue decided to stop at the poofing and Sonic and the gang getting knocked out by the electric trap. So it's just the first issue of the arc that's still canon to these issue. >>126063787
>>126063919 It was always super weird and nonsensical that Bunnie's kids had cyborg parts. Like, the implication appears to be they were born that way... somehow?
>>126063976 Dohohoho, if only you had waited! >>126063977 I'm still surprised how horny they were. Then realized they were half French and half rabbit. >>126063999
>>126064076 Fans gotta look out for each other. >>126064077 You know, after that one thread where anons were talking about what these guys would do to captured legionnaires, I'm a bit worried for Bunnie...
>>126064077 >Jack GODDAMMIT. I genuinely hate this piece of shit. But, he's supposed to be a detestable prick, so...
>>126064035 >>126064055 Is it just me, or does this element of the story almost feel like it could be an episode o SatAM? Like, this is some old school Saturday morning cartoon stuff.
>>126064109 >>126064129 Yeah, I don't think we need to worry about that. Between the creators being dedicated to staying true to the original, and Bunnie calling Jack on his lack of balls, she'll be fine.
>>126064277 Can't wait until this one is out! I will also add this thread to The Ride 2021's pastebin's next update. Thanks again for posting these, it's been a while since I've seen the Bunnie one!
>>126064277 Some might not know this but Sonic Universe 50 was originally going to be a Sonic Underground finale issue of sorts. But with the Pendering it was changed to a Metal Sonic issue. So while this issue isn't ready yet, it is apparently one of the two issues being worked on next along with Sonic Universe 52.
>>126063804 >https://twitter.com/RikDraws I would definitely be interested in commissioning this artist... but I wonder how much they charge per page. I'll want to find out somehow.
And I once again go back to being anonymous. I really don't know if I want to do the Mobius Legends issues. Noncanon and all that. But I will admit there's nothing wrong with looking at them. I might change my mind but I invite someone else to do it if they're willing to. Same goes for Retold for those that want a darker take.
>>126064360 I might have to create a new account for that. Main account is for the NSFW stuff I manage. SFW and NSFW are two streams I don't want crossed.
>>126064391 Since we are talking about fan stuff, theres also this one thats focused on silver and secret FF after the capture of Mecha Sally. Theres an OC that joins them though, dont know if that would be a bother to the readers here.
Since we're now the fever for catching up fan Sonic comics, then I would just like to share this one here that's my favorite. https://www.deviantart.com/linaprime/gallery/62393039/sonic-shards In lesser words, a pure reincarnation of the whole Archie Sonic lore + a tad bit of Fleetway. Personally, I think it looks quite fancy and some pages here show a lot of potential. A pity it hasn't been updated for a while, oh well.
>>126063632 >>heroes and villains team up to fight bigger threat Come to think of it, that was a pretty prevalent trope through Archie Sonic, no? Like, 125#'s milestone was quite reliant to it.
>>126078778 Not that I can think of, there is a fic that tried to unify every Sonic canon that was actually pretty neat but sadly it too is shipping trash since the main focus is Tails and Cosmo angst after her death in Sonic X. I think part of the problem with finding Archie Sonic fanfics is that it's hard to fit the games into the timeline so alot of writers avoid it.
>>126079687 There is also the fact preboot Archie has a fuck-ton of shit in its background that ranges from interesting to absolutely boring or cringy which most writers don't want to trouble themselves delving into. Fanfics usually just take some elements they like (Scourge and Anti-Mobius, as one example) and add them to the game universe.
>>126079687 I don't remember the name but I can try to find it later, i just remember it being fucking wacky having a combined canon, like Sonic's sister from the manga exists and he has a different real name (from said magna), and Rosemary is still a fuck up who gets tails Institutionalized or something because he just goes nuts after Cosmo an heros after Sonic X
>>126081410 Yeah that really does seem to be the usual route and I can't really blame them, it's alot easier making a story with say Scourge after the events of Generations without the author needing to handle all the archie lore like Echidnapalooza or Nate Morgan/overlanders/etc.
>>126063081 neat to see that some of the artists on ASO (like Gigi "Gigi-D" Dutreix and Thomas "Gilgalad" Rothlisberger) are involved with IDW now; same thing with Reggie "Ziggyfin" Graham and Mauro "KKM" Fonseca from StC-O
>>126084783 I don't think I've ever seen a fangame use Archie characters.
Wait, no, that's not true. I think their was ONE I remember seeing awhile back, but the artstyle was ugly, and I think the dev deleted the game's existence because I haven't been able to find it.
If I were to make a Sonic fan game, it'd be an RPG that has a character creator like Forces did. Choose an animal, color, starting ability, background, and go through battling enemies. Be a hero, antihero, or villain. You can romance any of the Sonic characters. Let the mobian lovers indulge themselves and rake in all that autist money.
>>126086380 I saw a playthrough of that and it goes totally off the rails in one version. Sally gets possessed by like a demon or something. It was weird.
I honestly wanted to apply to this project in some way shape or form but I feel like while I do draw on a regular basis, I need to get some actual comic art practice in first before attempting.
>>126087999 You should still apply. From what I've seen on their site, they have a series of non-canon comics called Mobius Legends which is used as practice. >Mobius Legends is a series of short test stories created by the ASO staff. Test stories are STAND ALONE stories which are not meant to be continued. Their sole purpose is to help the ASO staff develop a workflow for creating comics.
