Page 2 (of 4) of a redraw of Sonic the Hedgehog #153's "Songoose" story. Redrawing from another artist's visual material isn't at all like drawing from a script, but this was just practice and layout portfolio. ;)

Fiona Fox totally owned this page, and the conversation. With Fi doing all the talking, I figured it better to cut a panel - to avoid talking-head syndrome - and just insert a big cut-out shot of Fiona, with room to arrange the word-balloons around her.

Panel 5 was my first real significant departure from how the action was originally laid out. In the original page, Mr. Lim drew Sonic and Fiona walking off together. The dialogue - summed up, Fiona says something like "Sonic, you're really an ass sometimes." - really told Sonic off, though. I felt that, given the context of the dialogue, the scene worked much better emotionally if Sonic was left behind alone, confused at what he could possibly have said wrong.

THANK You!! One of my abiding problems with the Sonic comic is when they turn into balloon-fests, no matter what the emotional impact of the moment. But illustrating "Needful Things" was a reminder, at least in the beginning, of where that sort of thing leads to. At least once Mogul's call-forwarding of each character is out of the way, the art can start speaking for itself.

Welcome aboard the comic. :w00t:

good luck to you man, Hopefully you'll get your chance at drawing an issue. It would be a great thing to see your work on the book. I'm trying too. We'll see how that turns out.

Ya' have to buy the actual comic book for the words. =P Obviously I can't scan in the comic book and show you. And since this is a pencilling portfolio, I'm not doing lettering. ;)
