✰ Babylon Rogues Sketch ✰

A bit ago I decided to do some Babylon Rogues fanart in my travel sketchbook after watching LP's of sonic riders and zero gravity because I really like these birds XD. In fairness that wasn't my first exposure to them (I think that was sonic shorts when I was around 8-10 lol, I only vaguely remember one having Jet though and idk if I'll ever re-watch them) and I did find them interesting in the IDW comics (currently up to the 4th collection of IDW sonic comics, I know I'm pretty behind) but I think watching the cut scenes & gameplay of their debut game and sequel made really appreciate who these birds are and what their deal is so now I really like this trio!

I did draw them with bigger beaks since they seem to have bigger beaks in the riders 2D art and high quality cut scenes in the riders games and I personally prefer that. :3

I do plan on playing riders and zero gravity in future once I get copies (not free riders thou, even if I had an Xbox 360 I have no interest in the kinect) of course and I also plan on drawing them and many sonic characters in the future but sadly, that'll have to wait. This year I haven't been allowing physical injuries to heal fully and while it will be hard to take a break from art I know I'll need to for at least a few months :(. Hopefully the break will help me be able to draw more and less painfully going forward ^u^.

Also yes those are precure stamps :P I bought a bunch from a local anime merch store, I got them since I have been enjoying kimi to idol (I think I'm up to ep 34?), still a little disappointed I didn't get stamp 4, cure zukyoon is my fave this season but oh well ¯\_(ツ)_/¯. Didn't intend to draw the Babylon Rogue's next to them but that's sometimes how it goes with a travel sketchbook :P

EDIT: I have noticed I drew Storm's eyes wrong! I'm so sorry! Will draw them correctly in future >:3

IDW unveils two new Sonic the Hedgehog one-shot issues, 900th Adventure and Endless Summer

Take a look at these new Sonic the Hedgehog one-shot issues from IDW Publishing, scheduled for a summer release.

900th Adventure

This issue, tentatively scheduled for 16 August, will feature various writers and illustrators as the blue blur goes on his "900th world-saving adventure!"

Sonic and his friends are playing a game of hot potato! Only the potato is the Warp Topaz and it could warp the whole world into oblivion. The gang is passing off the Warp Topaz in a relay race to get rid of it once and for all.

Endless Summer

"Wave goodbye to the office and say hello to the beach," read the official solicitation. This issue is scheduled for a 30 August tentative release.

Sonic drags Jewel on a well-deserved beach day to spend time with her besties, Tangle and Whisper! But when they all settle in for some rest and relaxation…they realize the Babylon Rogues had the same idea… at the same beach. The only way to settle this is with a totally tubular beach showdown!

Writer: Gale Galligan

Illustrator: Tracy Yardley

Cover B: Jack Lawrence and Reggie Graham

Do you have any sonic rider's opinions, specifically about the babylon rogues

I do!

Jet the Hawk in the first Riders game having this dynamic with Sonic where Sonic is just immediately ticked off by anything and everything he says was 10/10. It felt unique too since Sonic is usually that kind of character for others, so him being faced with this rival that just knows how to get on his nerves by being cheeky and unapologetic was peak. I feel like they've flipped that in the most recent iterations of the character's, which is FINE but I'm still kinda missing that. Jet gives the most "ex who hasn't gotten over the breakup" energy to Sonic I've ever seen it's really funny.

Wave is THAT girl. I always liked her small rivalry/super subtle mentorship with Tails. She respects him, but she doesn't let that show because that's not who she is, so she's harsh in a way that motivates him to do better. Love that! I also love that she's still her mean and snarky self in Crossworlds! Her interactions are GOATED! Also she has my favorite design of the three, she's serving so much looks it should be illegal.

Storm..... is Storm! I don't have much to say other than I liked his interactions with Cream and Omega in Archie's Treasure Team Tango. I love his design too btw I just have a hard time getting into the "dumb" character of a group but if anyone wants to convince me to see the light on him then let me know!

If you want my opinion on Riders as a game though I still think it's like... the third best Sonic racing game to date, right behind All-Stars and Crossworlds. It has the best sound design + it's story mode is fun asf + the air shoes are goated please SEGA add those to crossworlds plzplzplzplz-
