Part 2 of my lil old age style pics. Again, tried to make it look as old fashioned as I could so didn't draw to get anatomy perfect or anything. Tried to colour it in a way that it'd look old too.

The maniacal Dr. Robotnik wasn't always an insane scientist hell bent on world domination. In his first incarnation, he was simply an obsessed scientist, curious to find out how a hedgehog could run so fast. He was an overnight success along with the hedgehog, his trademark mostache becoming instantly recognisable. Of all the characters in the early Sonic cartoons, Dr. Ivo went through the most changes. Whilst Sonic's image stayed consistent from the 30's right up to the 60's, Dr. Ivo changed several times as can be seen in the pictures. By the end of the 30's, he was fatter, his mostache more flowing and he'd had a slight personality shifty. No longer was he simply interested in finding out how the hedgehog ran so fast, now he wanted to capture him and disect him in hopes of stealing his power.

By the early 40's, he'd gone through a second change, one that would last up until the 50's. As well as making the switch to colour, his name had also been changed to Dr Ivo Robotnich. It's believed to have been changed in part due to the war. Before this time, Ivo simply had an american accent yet by the 40's he'd gained a german one. This changed during the 50's however as some felt it was politcally incorrect. His accent went back to american and his name was changed to the less german sounding Robotnik.

Other changes between the 40's and 50's included the expansion of the scientists expertese to that of an inventor as he invented an array of robots and machines to capture Sonic with.
