Guess What I Got?

Wed Nov 18, 2009, 2:22 PM



Guess What I Got? (19th November 2009)


Yes I got the latest batch of Sonic Archie & Universe comics from my local comic shop (err... Ignore the Spider-man comics - sshh! Nobody knows I like Spider-man too alright!)


Anyways the Sonic Archie comics part won't be too special with you lot in the United States cuz you already have 2 issues ahead of me or something crazy like that - it's not fair!! Boo-hoo! ;_; XD


Tears aside, I can't wait to check out what Sonic Universe has to offer regarding Knuckles story - it's been a long time comin' for the rad red! I shall be saving his story till I finish the coloured version of 'The Legendary Echidna Legacy'.


In addition to my trip to the comic book store in the city I went to Borders to buy some art and general reference books. I bought a few of them and they include: a book on Castles, a book on Pirates (arrrgh!!), a book on Swords (an awesome reference book on all sorts of swords featured in world history - all hand sketched and drawn by an amazing artist!), a Samurai & Ninja Action Photo Reference book (brilliant collection of real life photos of samurais and ninjas posing - what more could you want?) and finally a book about Graphic Novels of the modern times (I need to understand more about the history, the culture and what readers are looking for in graphic novels).


All these incredible books and comics will become a lovely addition to my library. The Pirates and Castles will definitely help me on my crusade to craft out the plot and setting for GRAND HUNTER and Cloud Raiders. Watch out for those two series in the near future!
Also I have just recently updated my avatar :icondarkspeeds: (love the new look! ^^) and I have joined up with Sonic Paradox Forums by introducing myself and offering my voice acting services.


I shall leave you with the usual treat of behind the scenes photos! Enjoy! ;)




Oooo! Comics! Knuckles makes a comeback! And could somebody please explain the cover of Sonic Archie 206?

Why is Sonic drooling? Oh I get it - he's in matrix mode dodging those ninja stars and shiruken, everything's in slow motion to the point you can see Sonic's slag... Nice! *SHOT* XXD

And what's up with Spider-man and Blackcat? He's getting himself into a lot of hot water with the cat...








Darkspeeds as Elson. Darkspeeds as Knuckles (grrrr!)







Behind-the-scenes of 'Dawn of Mobius' Sonic Archie comic tribute. Notice the page featuring the sheriff and his gang of thieves disguised as Altarian guards?

That's the design process - a quick sketch of the characters to be featured in the plot before being presented in the final work. His name is Rattus by the way.








More behind-the-scenes of 'Dawn of Mobius' comic pages.







Oh my gosh! The books of win! What's a book on TRAINS doing there...? (If you really want to know I got that ages ago - I used a reference in the book to help me illustrate the train featured in 'Booty From Oasis Yellow'.







This is how some of the books look like on the inside. See didn't I tell ya the book on SWORDS is cool?!







Thanks for reading! I'll keep you guys updated soon with more artwork and videos! ;)

Walking along this slim path from which many have fallen.
You must embrace both sides never letting one over power you.
The twilight is what they say you walk.
You must walk to dawn.

:icondarkspeeds:
I am in no way a pro when it comes to being an artist. My skills are still considered amatuer, it takes time and patience to be a master of drawing.

Keep practicing buddy your drawings are lookin' pretty awesome!

Elson, your not behind the US release schedule at all, 206 just hit the racks this week. I bought mine on Sunday night on the way home from work.
:icondarkspeeds:
Wow really? That's rather odd. :D Well you guys back home still get it first nevertheless... XD And it's cheap as chips too! ;_;

We in Australia have to pay double that price you're paying for (i.e. $2.50US) not because of exchange rates but shipping and tax costs. X_X;

Hey Dark!

When are u going to finish that Picnic Heaven Manga. I been waiting for the next page for a long time!
:icondarkspeeds:
I'll probably conclude it with one more page full of panels... XXD I don't know when I will have it completed though - it depends on my mood ultimately and whether I have the extra free time. ;)
