Al Bigley's drawing style was unique, but out of all the pencils I've seen throughout that Sonic comic I favor Conor Tomas's style the most, how can you not be astonished by these?




The character designs are also totally bad@$$ too. I wish he would hop back onboard sometime.

The similarities between his comic and mine are extraordinary and convinced me that John strongarmed Jim Doe into writing a script that expanded his story. He really is a manipulative bastard.

Muahahaha!

Of course my comic resulted in Bunnie getting super powers and a split personality that went around killing everyone. And her boobs grew bigger for some reason. It was fifteen years ago! I was young!

So a Thomas Riker storyline? Or perhaps a good Bunnie/ evil Bunnie storyline? Interesting.

GIVE HER THE BRANDY!
Very nice art!

Yeah, I used J. Axer's art as reference when working on my Sally comic. That panel of her flicking away Nack is one the most overused shots of Sally I've seen. But J. Axer's time is over. Now I'LL be queen of summertime! I mean king! KING!

You can't change things on me! Now I made a good Queens attire for you and you WILL wear it dammit!

FFFFFFFFFFFFWHAT IS THIS I DON'T EVEN

KILL IT. KILL IT WITH FIRE.

I started to notice that Rotor looked kinda goofy and out of place in the story. SatAM didn't always have the best artwork and I was convinced I could draw the characters better than the animators

Funny that you asked me what was wrong with him then, when you made a conscious decision to change his design! Anyway, all I can say is I disagree with your assertion, as that body shape is used across all manner of professional animation; nothing sloppy about it. Oh well, it's your Short.

Rotor was bad... but that Sally design is going to give me nightmares ):

Don't remind me! It had to have been last minute or rushed I swear.

Wow....that's positively horrendous! I'm suddenly quite glad I never got into the Archie comics series. Were they all this bad???

It all depends on who they have at the time. I wasn't a regular reader, but from what I've seen it varies. Sometimes it can be horribly off model (as Mr. Bigley has demonstrated), sometimes it can be bland (... actually, that's what I think of the current art design), and sometimes it was beautifully done. I'm a big fan of Spaz's work, I usually look at his stuff for ideas regarding my Sonic fan thing-a-majig.

Nah, but certain stretches of the comic have demented looking art. I'd say the bulk of the time it was quite good back in the day (it's pretty darn sterile looking today), but sometimes it went off the damn walls.

Spaz was and still is the king of comic book cover arts. I remember when he illustrated the Metal Madness special. My all time favorite issue ever, awesome writing and drawings.....man those were the days.

As others have pointed out, it all depends on the artist. I made a thread in the comics forum highlighting the worst of the bunch.

I agree. I loved art in the Archie comics from issues 122-123.

All the characters looked really good in that style, especially Mina and Bunnie.

Sally's was a little odd, but I liked it nonetheless.

How I wish this style would come back to the comics instead of Yardley's silly Sonic X style.

... Ok, I like this Conor Tomas guy and Spaz.

I think Archie Comics decided the style was a little to mature for the intended audiance and that is why Conor Thomas didn't continue. I mean most characters were well put together but not really wearing anything.

[salamander]

sorry I haven't commented on this yet, but really awesome work. The backgrounds especially are wonderfully detailed. The lighting contrasts look reallly sweet too. You sure know your stuff.

Will you people please stop quoting posts with many large images? It just slows down the page.

Bullshit. They just wanted someone who can draw quick and shell out a quick buck.
