Description Y'know, with all the times I drew sonic characters in my high-school days, I can't believe it took me this long to post something on DA with the blue guy & his friends in the same picture. 


I guess it goes to show how FREAKING EXCITED I AM FOR THIS NEW GAME & SHOW! 


Honestly, I haven't been this thrilled for something new about modern sonic for quite a number of years. While some of the recent games like Generations & Lost World, were good in their own right, Boom seems to have the Adventure / Adventure 2 like feel that I've been waiting for since the gamecube / dreamcast days, with a hint of Heroes thrown in.


Sure the new designs are a bit out there, especially with Knuckles, but you know what? I think its hilarious! (in a good way) If the show & game are made to present a more legitimately humorous side to sonic, then by all means they should. Although they have tried with the current games so far, I think this different team will do a better job in terms of the plot for the game. 


I mean, come on, ex-insomniac & naughty dog workers, making a Sonic game?


This could be a VERY good turn for the franchise, considering that its in the hands of experienced game developers like these ones.


So go on, scoff at it all you want, you hardcore fans, I could care less. As far as I'm concerned, the sonic franchise went through MUCH worse changes in the past (coughcoughsonic06coughcough). If you ask me, this could be one of the best things to happen to the series, and all you have to do is give it a chance.


who knows, since Sonic Team isn't the one in control here, perhaps this game will actually play well.




Oh and just to give you all a thought abut this piece, just imagine Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze's mine cart segments, mixed with Rayman Legends' rhythm based platforming stages. ^_^



(Characters & sonic boom material belong to SEGA & BigRedButton Entertainment respectively)

This is an excellent picture! Great job!

However, with the release of the Boom game, I can't help but feel depressed at all the optimism you had for the game too. Such a shame. It had potential too.

Thanks a bundle!

And yeah, it is a bit of a downer. Its part of the reason why I started doing the Character What-ifs - to keep interest in the new universe since I think it does have potential still, and hopefully they will give other artist ideas to work off of for fan-fics & other art. Thankfully, at least the cartoon is decent enough.

True. And I did hear the 3DS game was decent too. So there's that. And what kind of Character What-ifs?

Very nice job capturing the character dynamics here!  This is exactly how I imagine these characters would act based on what we've seen so far, and I love every inch of it!  And what better way to kick of a new video game than with a traditional video game level that fits in perfectly with the new character/world design?  I haven't played Tropical Freeze or Rayman Legends, but that sounds like a very interesting stage to play through.


The picture itself looks great.  Good colors, fantastic character expressions and a cartoony, adventurous feel to the scenery that feels right at home with Sonic Boom.  I especially love the edges of the picture.


I've been looking forward to this show and game for all the same reasons you have!  The series had me most interested during the Adventure and Heroes days, but times have changed a lot since then and the series just hasn't felt like it's had any life in it since Unleashed.  I've long thought that what the franchise needed to do was to stop trying these flat, one-and-done games with little story and unneccessary new characters, and go back to a wide world of Sonic and bring his friends back to the forefront.  Sonic Chronicles had the right idea, but the gameplay couldn't keep up.


I have not been excited about ANYTHING the way I've been excited about Sonic Boom.  It delivers EEEEEEEVERYTHING I've been dying to see come back to the series (more than just Sonic playable, emphasis on the team, an actual effort behind the writing) and the unexpected bonus of interesting new designs (I actually like Big-Knux), a new world with an actual backstory and life to it and humor (I can't wait to see what this "Alternate Dimension Knuckles" episode is).  This new series is not only meeting my dreams, it's blazing far ahead of them!


...My only fear is the 3DS version.  All of the great game stuff we've been seeing so far is for the Wii-U, but I don't plan on getting a Wii-U.  We haven't seen anything on the 3DS version and I have no idea if it's going to be as good.


Anywho, thank you for submitting this to the S-S-S-S-S-Squad !

Thanks man! Glad that you agree, & how you emphasized my reasons for being excited as well! ^_^


And yeah, if your a fan of sidescrolling platformers, and you have any other game console, you definitely need to not just play, but OWN Rayman Legends, since its multi-platform. Trust me, its fantastic.

I am excited for this series/game. I have been a Sonic fan for about 20 years and I am fine with the designs. Sure, it threw me off a little, but I got used to it. This new series/game has really got my attention since its first reveal.

sonicfan1984 [2014-02-21 23:37:07 +0000 UTC]

I'm actually pretty excited for this. Yeah, the new designs kinda put me off at first but once the shock worn off the trailers for the TV show and the videogame actually looks pretty damn cool. Also, I've been waiting to play as the other characters since Colors and Generations. I'm getting pretty bored of the Sonic solo games in the last 7 years. The Sonic series really needs a new direction and new talent behind it. And who knows, if Sonic Boom becomes very successful then hopefully Sonic Team can corporate what works about Sonic Boom into the main titles.
