Brought Raz to my job with me today… thought he’d fit right in

First one is what Donatella and Augustus see when Raz is supposed to be training but is chilling instead

My coworkers really liked this

Part 2 of this Circus Au :P

tried to go for a cleaner look also

Heres Part 1 if u wanna see

BTW Espio being as knife thrower was an idea given to me by one of my irl friends, since I showed them my last drawings.

Also you know how theres an animal act ok but what if there was a Chao act instead and Cream was in-charge of it.

Some random silly thoughts\/\/\/

Also that same friend pointed out to me that there was a comic that had a Circus theme. Right after I was already done with my first drawings. Found it funny that knuckles was a clown

I NEVER KNEW THIS EXISTED T.T

Kinda scary how close I was to something I never seen. XD

Also apparently there was some mini comics of Tails as a magician which i found funny bc I have yet to draw him and I didn't know if i wanted him to be a magician seeing as he's all about science I wasn't sure on magician then again it is all about tricking the mind (guess ill have to draw him next)

Literally no one cares (I'm complaining about accuracy in a superhero comic) but that is NOT how you catch someone on a flying trapeze.

I don't know how to word this in a way that doesn't sound like clickbait sorry but read more if you want to know why

# 1. The main glaring issue is Batman's leg position. The correct catching position looks like this-

With the catchers legs going over the bar and hooking back onto the ropes which essentially locks you in and makes it near impossible to fall out.

It is possible to hold someone in a hocks (what batman is doing) but it takes a LOT of strength to do even static positions and I've never heard of someone attempting to catch in a hocks as it honestly sounds like a death wish.

I won't get into all the math stuff but this picture from The Trapeze Net (very cool website btw) sums it up

Plus when you add in all the jolting and swinging around... Even if you have batman strength there's a good chance you'd fall off in a hocks. Don't do that.

# 2. The Height

There's not much to say here. Neither of them are high enough for the catch.

Maybe if Robin was doing a MASSIVE trick with lots of flips I could see why they'd be lower but after reading some of the comic... it turns out he was just doing a splits... so he must've majorly messed up to be that low. And to add to that, why is Batman so low?

Generally in fly you want the biggest swing you can get. The higher the better. Not only does it look cooler but it makes the catch smoother, easier and gives you enough momentum to transfer back to the bar afterwards! So yeah, too low.

# 3. This is a small one but Robins position

The boy is a Banana. It looks cool yeah and if they were a bit higher and he was more level it would be fine, but when your feet are above the catchers knees... That's about to be a janky swing right there.

I'll give it to him tho, maybe Robin has the skill to kick just right and make it work out. If anyone can it's him. (The force will probably dislodge batman tho oops)

Anyway.. I could go on forever (why isn't the catchers bar padded??? Why are they doing this in GLOVES???) but I won't.

Janky circus in comics is still circus in comics so I can't be that mad. Just... Don't copy Batman
