Dude, I'm so happy to get back to working on this comic! -_- It's been too long.
I did more experiments again! Penciled this one digitally, went back to doing all the shading (also all the backgrounds) in Photoshop, and played with Sonic's eyes, as well as trying to add more texture to their spines and stuff. Still need to practice more with painting textures on these characters (-_- and probably the backgrounds) as well as lighting. Cuz I really should start edging this scene towards an interesting sunset lighting scheme. I DUNNO HOW, SO TIME TO GET ON THAT. Anyway. It was a ton of fun figuring out the scale of meter-tall Mobians against human-scaled furniture. I mean, I kinda had that at the end of the last page, but I drew that awhile ago, and had more interaction in this page, anyway.
Oh, Chaos, this page! Ki's instincts of "Don't show you're hurt," and her shiny new echidna stubborn-ness (enhancing her already formidable human stock of stubborn) are super kicking in, and Sonic's all "Fuck, what do I do now!?" I'm sure he's doctored his share of Mobians feeling their instincts and fighting, but it's different when someone who's already your friend, and who usually trusts you, starts feeling (and acting) that way. That requires some quick dancing to navigate, and social stuff isn't exactly his forte. Now if you needed someone to literally dance, he'd happily have you covered!
