Ok, so here's the thing about Knuckles' new design. In this case I actually like the athletic tape. If you remember the redesign I did last year I actually DID give him tape around his hands before Sonic Boom was even a thing. It's because he uses his fists (and claws) as his main attack, so I imagined it'd be like what fighters use in real life to protect their.. uhm.... knuckles. In his case however it would probably be more around his fingers and thumb... because the dude needs fingers. I mean what the hell Sega??! However I don't really understand why they have him tape up his upper arms as well.

But I still don't really like his design. I don't mind that he's more muscular. Again that makes sense because he's a digger, and I actually like that he's taller than the others. Again, it makes sense since he's more physical and he's also the oldest of the 4 main characters (last I heard he's either 16 or 17). My problem however, is I felt they just overdid it a little. They made him FAR too bulky and he's more than an entire head taller than Sonic. That's... a little too much. Also, I feel his design is done rather poorly as far as balance goes. He has these massive shoulders and arms, but then he has these really skinny legs and a round, childish looking face and head. I wonder if this was a mandate by Sega team given to the show's designers. It wouldn't surprise me. Sega's insane.

Tying his quills up in a ponytail is just my personal fetish XD Nothing more to say about that.

Knuckles is actually one of my favourite characters in the franchise. I love the cranky, hot tempered characters who are actually really nice guys... but they'll punch you in the face to show affection sometimes. However, I don't like how he's been portrayed in the last few incarnations as being kinda stupid. Naive and gullible is one thing but stupid? I don't like that :hmm:

FUN FACTS!!
Echidna's are one of only 2 mammals that lay eggs... and in the Archie comics (which I never really read) they are completely and utterly aware of this and treat it as a normal fact.
I was curious about this so I looked it up; Echidnas aren't poisonous but the males DO have the barbs on their rear feet the same as the Platypus. But unlike the Platypus they're not attached to venom glands.

....btw Platypuses are poisonous. Not deadly, unless you're allergic or something, but enough to give you a nasty rash. As if they couldn't get any stranger 8D

Too bad though. If Echidna were also poisonous Knuckles could've been a kick-boxer instead who kicks you in the face with spiked ankles AND poisons you!! But alas, it's not to be.

I've talked far too much.

.....should I do more? I don't even know...

I know this deviation's old so I won't say too much, but I'll say I read the whole description of this, and Sonic No Zone and found them interesting. Especially this one. Definitely interested my mind.

And btw, the quills-into-ponytail is what got me into this- and thus your Gallery- to begin with. I was looking for pictures to look at to help inspire me in making a cartoony male ponytail, and I found this as one of the ones to inspire me.

Lol this is in the Sonic Boom Club AND the No Sonic Boom Club. :XD: :groups::pointr:
