A Sly Encounter Part 1 by gameboysage A Sly Encounter Part 1 by gameboysage
It's been a while since we finished our first mini comic series collaboration, so :iconwaimbert: and I decided to start a new one XD If anyone remembers, our first one was an extension of Cerebella's ending from Skullgirls, due to how damaging we felt it was. For those of you that don't know of it, you can find it here:

Now I'm sure people have come to realize my...dislike for the Archie Sonic comic over the past year and a half for the arc that's been going on with it and what it's been doing to the characters, so :iconwaimbert: and I decided to have a little fun and give an alternate version of it, featuring another video game franchise in a crossover event. It will pretty much cover Sally's side of what's going on, and alter a few other elements of what happened in the comic as well.

Hope you guys like it :D

Feel free to comment ^^

Nice dynamic. Though I guess I wasn't sure what happened at first; then I figured she was blowing up the ship and reminiscing about her love with Sonic.
Yeah Sal...what's a little cut on your leg? You been through worse girl. ;D I'm gonna keep going on this cause so far it's pretty dang cool.
Though I must say, the swift cut to the aftermath of the explosion without seeing one did confuse me at first. Still looks good.

Tell me about it, I've had the most epic part of the story waiting for a good year or so, and it's still quite a few pages off from happening x-x

I know what you mean. 
I get that feeling too with some of my future works I hope to translate to paper.
As a writer and artist who wants to tell a story you want to be told; you're gonna get that. 
But if you at least made some people genuinely happy and inspired; then you did your work. ;D
I for one am reading further into this and taking note on pacing and layout for any future comics I'd like to do.

So :iconwaimbert: did draw everything and you wrote the story for the comic or how did this happened?

gameboysage Featured By Owner Oct 27, 2013
I wrote out the entire story in word form, or at least the main events that happen in it.  I then tell him my idea for the next page to work on, and how the panel layouts should work.  He then shows me the black and white page and we finalize it.  After that I take over and color it and add the dialogue ^^

Oh, the release speed of these depends on the person inking out the comics XD

They just finished inking the next one but I have to do massive edits to it before I can start coloring it, so it's still a few days off.

Yap, I plan out the story and tell him what to draw, and when he has the free time he draws it....although I explained the second one poorly and he didn't draw it how I envisioned it, so I gotta fix it now lol.

If you want a sneak peak though, you can look at his scraps in his gallery atm ^^

lol that's to come with the actual comic submission XD

But long story short, they think the robot is a roboticized Sally when it isn't, and before she could do anything she got warped away.

Why does the chaos Emerald build a Mecha Sally?
Reply
:icongameboysage:
gameboysage Featured By Owner Feb 19, 2013
It gets slightly more explained next time, but it's essentially the chaos emerald's power running amok, due to it being inside the world roboticizer machine when it tried to roboticize itself, as well as Sally being inside the blast range.

Hey, nothing can get any worse then a character getting "accidentally" de-roboticized, even when their limbs were never flesh to begin with and started out as robotic parts built from scratch......and that was canon.

Actually since Naugus was planning on removing the crystal from her, the magic was already pointed at Bunnie to begin with, so the chaos energy healing her makes sense. Besides, you seem to forget the fact that the Bem made Eggman completely flesh and bones, despite 0% of his body ever having been organic before.

:icongameboysage:
gameboysage Featured By Owner Feb 20, 2013
One difference there is that all the aliens did was convert his current form from robot to flesh, they didn't alter his form at all. With Sonic they went from flesh to metal and back, so the basic form was there as well. What Naugus did was completely by accident, and required the metal limbs to not simply revert to what they used to be, but completely and utterly change shape to match the rest of the body, without any super fancy, high tech alien technology to make sure it all happened correctly.

Sure it's similar, but the story at least made more sense with the aliens, and it was something you could buy, while not hurting Robotnik's character much at all. The stuff with Bunnie completely altered her character and personality (for the worse it seems) and it was all an "accident" -.-

The Alien plotline was a horrible cop-out. It took the original problem that the mobians faced (the robotic fate of the robians) and instantly fixed everything with the flip of a switch. From a narrative perspective, I find it to be worse.

Meanwhile we have magic, from a wizard, wielding a magical artifact. Sure our first argument was on the power of the chaos emeralds, but I feel the narrative logic of the use of various plot devices warrants a deeper discussion here. Basically, Bunnie was static where she was. There was no character development going for her, and that's not really good for a major character in an on-going series. So they do something that hasn't been done: remove her cybernetics. It was something that was never touched upon in the BEM storyline (why didn't Bunnie react to everyone else losing their roboticized forms and she did not?) but gives it a twist. While she originally fought to be normal again, she eventually accepted herself for who she is, then its taken away from her. What happens then? That's what we're seeing now.

Was the motive weak? No
Was the delivery for the story weak? I don't think so.

Think about it. Not only does it strip Bunnie of her abilities, thus giving her a new crisis to go through (something a protagonist in a story needs, lest they be shoved aside as an inconsequential character), but it also shows that Naugus is not in control of his powers. We only learned just that issue or the issue previous that Naugus has three other wizards swimming around in his head. Curing Bunnie was another sign that something was going terribly wrong with him before things started to really hit the fan in "Secret Freedom."

I bet the reason why Robotnik was killed off, replaced by Robo Robotnik, had his body get replaced, and then got turned organic was all due to mandates too. Chances are they had to come up with something crazy just to figure out how to turn Robotnik human again and make him look like from the video games. As for the Robians, sure it was a fix all, but it still didn't completely change anybody character wise or really change the status quo, the free willed Robians simply turned into flesh and blood again. Plus for all we know, Bunnie might have not been effected since she was half and half, which couldn't work with the technology at hand.

Are you kidding me? Bunnie was given zero character development after getting "deroboticized". She was turned normal, acted gloomy, acted like a fool, and then ran off to become Robotnik's slave through her Uncle. The pacing for her arc is horrible in this and gives her little to no respect. Bunnie KNOWS her Uncle works for Robotnik, she KNOWS joining his group means working under Robotnik, even if she doesn't plan to betray her friends and only wants her robotic parts back, she is STILL choosing to work under Robotnik's control and pray that he never comes to realize this, just to get her robotic limbs back. This is horrible and rushed motivation with bad delivery.

Plus a new crisis is fine, but to essentially say "this person is absolutely nothing without her mechanical parts and is willing to sell her soul to Robotnik to get them back" is a rather horrible idea to come up with. I mean we're literally getting into Spiderman "One More Day" territory here.

Oh, and doesn't the crisis of "Robotnik wants to kill us all and we have to stay alive while trying to defeat him and and all other enemies" count? I mean come on, it's not like they're sitting at home with nothing to do. Every day is a new battlefield to fight in, I don't buy that you have to mutilate or put a character through hell on a regular basis, just to keep them relevant to the plot. Just because Marvel/DC kills off or reboots their characters regularly, it does not in any way mean that is how things should be done, and instead cheapens the characters and makes them feel like mere plot devices to be tossed around however the writer wants.
