Oh boy!

Temporary notice* to the person who sent me the redlines for the Sonic and Sally image- tumblr turned the image extremely small which makes it very hard to read what you’ve written or see the specifics of your corrections. If you could post each ‘part’ of the image as a separate piece instead of it all being one large image, that’d help immensely. Thanks!

*As in I’ll delete it once I know they’ve seen it.

These should actually be shown to Ken in some vain attempt to help him out. I’ve heard he doesn’t handle criticism well, but really that’s just a rumor. And I take gossip with a grain of salt.

We’re basically making fun of his art and fixing it behind his back.

And that’s kind of shitty.

I say kind of because it’s done a lot with professional artist, mostly when they put a person (most times female. See http://eschergirls.tumblr.com/) in a ridiculous pose, but while those are artist that are actually capable of doing good art and just make shitty choices in the way they present the character, the problems shown here seem to just be basic issues with the art skill. I dunno, I don’t want to spoil people’s fun and most people deem him a lost cause anyway. Granted, I can see why if he’s supposedly been drawing comics for years and still does things like lumpy butt, but hey, if no one tells him anything, nothing can really get better. 

I was actually expecting a note or something about this since this red line fiesta started, so I may as well take this opportunity to respond.

I hope that clears up things.

I hope you don’t mind me jumping the gun on this, but everything Sonic related thing that I’ve seen Penders draw is a complete eyesore. I personally am not a fan of his character designs or writing (from…

I did a thing for Lien-Da

What bothered me the most was her expression and her pose. It states “There isn’t a line or dead body she wouldn’t cross.” And in the getup, pose and ridiculous hair style, I cannot take her seriously enough to believe her tagline.

 She’s a femme fatale by nature. So why would she be standing in such an uncomfortable and boring pose? Closed legs give a feeling of “virtue” and being timid or at least withdrawn. That’s not Lien-Da at allllll.

She’s got the attitude of “Don’t look at me like that. Who do you think you are? I’ll disassemble you bit by bit while you’re crying for mercy”. She’s very out there, not withdrawn in the slightest.

The facial expression lacks so much….expression. What is she conveying there? Slight mild annoyance? Lien-Da is a bitter person. I can’t think of anything that would constitute only “slight annoyance” from her.

my two cents. I didn’t really want to get too in depth with it.

Basically what I was trying to do in my own redraw but a thousand times better.

So apparently, red lining Ken Penders' artwork can get you a job

Challenge Accepted

 It’s around 1:30 in the morning or so and decided I was going to take a crack at this madness.  Dimitri’s anatomy make me cry tears of horror.

Dimitri: “What the hell is going on” Edition. I noticed the magical mystery finger while tracing out the outline for this guy as well.

Another thing that never fails to look really awkward.
(Minor exceptions being really old and/or stylized cartoons in which they don’t actually have eyebrows to use. Clearly, Julie-Su and the rest of the Sonic cast have a perfectly functioning brow line.)

I want to play, too!





And what does her Skeleton look like?

Overall I have no idea what is going on here or how this creature can live.

HER HEAD IS A FUCKING HAM.

By the way- if you want to submit red lines of any Sonic comic related art, go for it. I can only see this leading to laughter. And tears. Lots of tears.

Lien-Da red-line under the read more!

I hope you don’t mind me jumping the gun on this, but everything Sonic related thing that I’ve seen Penders draw is a complete eyesore. I personally am not a fan of his character designs or writing (from what I’ve read, anyway), but if anyone enjoys them then I’m not one to judge. I will, however, judge his awful way of drawing them.

Also not a fan of the human-proportioned-bobble-head Sonic style characters, but for the sake of continuity within the original image, I’ve made my adjustments as such. The image pretty much explains everything, but if you have questions- feel free to leave them. :]

(For the record, I’m a fan of the game series- not the comic series. I’ve only read small portions of the comics and don’t care for them. I have absolutely NOTHING against any fans of the Archie series.)

Jesus Christ. You can really see the problems on that when you’re just looking at the silhouette of it.
