One... just once, I'd like to stop this from happening.
Still haven't found a way...
Why are ghosts literally the best enemy type? Why don't they appear in more games?
>>148173779

that's awful generous of you

They slow you down if you're going for A rank.
Also they can catch you and you watch as Knux struggles to get loose and goes UGH HNNNGH LET ME GO RRRGH
In case you're one of the few people that has that fetish...
>>148174306I think I shit my pants
the ghosts in Sonic & Knuckles have the same sound effect as the moving platforms in Sonic 3D Blast

>>148177116
>>148177286
Time to speed up.
Filter and report here: >>148175537 to contain and ignore cancer.
>>148177286
Yeah slow down, artists got to get ready for #500.
>>148175537
>>148178134
>>148178236
I'm Thunderbolt in that situation.Just kidding, I'm Axel.
>>148175537
>>148177732
yeah man I haven't even started yet
>>148179032
Likewise.Not that people would really care for it anyway
It'll slow down during euro hours soon.
Should I just post my 500th celebration art and be done with it, or wait until 499?
>>148179197
why not wait till 500? only reason to post it in 499 is if you want it as the op image for 500
>>148179250
But we're going to pool the images all together, in one big old masterpost
>>148179250Exactly, anon.
>>148179332
I think the 500 dollar edit should be OP.
>>148177286
>>148177732
>>148179032
>>148179101
BUMP
>>148179505
Seconded; or, if a collage, then it should be the largest part, in the middle tying everything together.
>>148179505
No, anon, that's not creative.
>>148179505
No way. Out of the ones we have now I think this one is the best one for the OP.
>>148179332
>>148179505
>>148179724
It has begun.
I don't care what anyone says, I think the background art in Underground is fantastic
>>148180053
But All Stars Transformed still looks really nice? why remaster it?
>>148180053
Why would you remaster Lost World it's not even old
>>148180478
So, how do you guys think the special zone relates to the next game?
>>148179250
OP image has already been decided
>>148181661
Yeah, it's going to be the collage, right? Not the dollar bill?
>>148181798
It's going to be a shitpost probably. There's always been some fuckers that get hard from planning things like that, right from the early days.
>>148182031
Most of our anniversary threads have had good OP pics though, I think. But I also just might not be remembering.
Guy who was gonna emulate Black Knight from the last thread here, couple things I wanted to say.
First up, holy shit the game is so much better when you aren't wagglan to attack, it feels so much better to hit a button.
Secondly, I was worried that it would run poorly/have a lot of bugs with the emulation since the videos I found of people emulating it all had issues, but so far it has run flawlessly.
Eager to see if that holds up.
>>148182031
If that's the case just ignore that shit and make an actual thread.
>>148182364
I think it ran fine before aside from a few hiccups but Dolphin 5.0 has been working wonders on almost every game that had trouble before.
is generations worth
>>148182614
Money?
$20 at most.
It's an ok game. Nothing more.
>>148181798
Collage sounds good in theory, but some artists would have to rush to make it and that'd possibly result in less quality. Just go with something already made and give them more time.
>>148183014
I get what you're saying, but slowing down this thread would give artists more time to contribute. We'll have enough for a collage by the end.
>>148182202
I find it really surprising, to be honest. But there's always a faggot that say's he's gonna fuck it up.
>>148183014
And we may get less art during the actual 500 thread itself, since everything would be posted before it.
>>148183113
>slowing down
You make Sonic sad.
>>148183113
Here's what I think of thatBUMP!
>>148180478
... wut.
>>148183113
I think >>148183140 raises a good point. It'd suck if we get less art for #500 just to make an OP image. If anything, a collage should be the OP pic for #501 after we get all the new stuff from #500
Do you think senpai will turn up again for 500?What about any others who are hidden anons.
>>148184873
No.Also no.
>>148184873
Maybe, never know.

Maybe the mememan will deliver us a fresh meme.No.
>>148184873
Who else has shown up?
We've had Senpai, Black Senpai, Drawfag Senpai, and Ginger Senpai so far. Am I missing anyone?
When is the Blue Blur himself showing up?
>>148185443
Never, anon, he's too fast for the naked eye.
>>148184873
Why would they want to come here?
>>148184873

Well, I won't sit on it any longer. Hope you consider it for OP.
>>148186872
Nice!
>>148185443
>>148186872
Damn son that's awesome.
At some point we're just going to need a poll to figure out the #500 OP image
>>148186872
>>148186872
Another night of suffering completed.
Decided not to do Boom since it's fairly new, low quality on youtube, and the second season may start soon. Gonna do Ruby Spears Megaman instead to make up for it. Tomorrow we continue suffering.
the only true contender for 500's op pic.
So after #500, we're finally going to get rid of Bump, right? We'll have grown past having a shitty OC, right?
>>148186872
Great work
You guys worry way too much about this 500 nonsense
>>148189558
It allows a venue for sexualizing a character without creating circle jerk about a canon character.
>>148189920
I'm not sure that's any better.

I've been away for around 7 months. What did I miss? Is Penders dead?
I come from SSMB, I don't want to be there anymore because I'm sick of sharing a board with retarded sjw cucks.
>>148198665
>Is Penders dead?
No but he was at a Sonic convention or something like that, he even got to talk to Iizuka, but I don't have an image of it.
>>148198551
she's the best girl who's been playable in a game that's not shit

>>148185174
Why is Manic fatter in this?
Goodnight Bump. Don't die, but don't fast either.
>>148198665
>Is Penders dead?
No, but he went to a convention and ranted about how back in his day you needed to show a portfolio to get into comics whereas now it's all about who you know (despite that he only got into Sonic because his friend Scott Fulop gave him an in), and that webcomic work will never get you anywhere professionally (Evan Stanely and Tyson Hesse were both also present - two people who do fan comic work and are now professionals). So, you know, the usual bullshit from him.

Who is this adorable bird?

>>148203721
Thanks for the info,I've never read the comics, I'm only familiar with the games and Sonic X.
>>148203961
The comics were at one point a Dark Age laughing stock but in recent years have become basically the best part of the franchise. You should read 'em, shit's cash.
>>148204143
Now that I have a job I'd like to begin reading them. Where should I start?
>>148204313
252 if you want to get in from just the reboot.
160 if you want to get in from where it started getting good before the reboot.
1 if you're a bad enough dude.
>>148204313
Start with the reboot at Sonic 252 and Universe 55. Since Archie is shit at trades, your best bet is to read them online on SonicScanF. Also don't worry about there being two books, since Universe isn't mandatory. It's only there if you want to read about characters that aren't Sonic and the FFs, like Shadow, Knuckles, Silver, and Blaze. Universe does have some of the best stories though so I recommend reading it anyways. Anyone got the reading order?
>>148204449
>>148204563
Thanks for the info, I'm a casual so I think the reboot will be just fine for me. Next pay day will definitely be comic buying day, too.
>>148204313
>>148204563
Although if you got the money, do support them, the writers and artists actually care about the franchises they work on.
>>148204449
>1 if you're a bad enough dude.
You're forgetting 0.
>>148204563
>Anyone got the reading order?
Reading order list isn't needed if you're starting from the reboot. Just alternate between the two series with every arc and skip Worlds Unite whenever you get to that.
Just in case I don't get to finish the thing I want to draw for the 500th, have one of the things I decided not to go with for the 500th.

Why are there no good places to talk about Sonic?
I got the Sonic Comic complete encyclopedia recently
It's pretty freakin great.
>>148208272
It's just a shame that everything in it doesn't matter anymore.
>>148208619
nothing really matters if you think about it
>>148208885
As long as you never give up the fight.
>>148208619
I still hold it as canon, just that it's the past of an alternate yet simultaneous timeline as stuff like Mega Drive.
I also hold out that someday Penders will have a heart attack or something and we can get everyone back, or at the very least are able to acknowledge them as past events that still impact the current stories in some way.

Also, I'm waiting for him to just have sonic in the next issue, if there is one. It's the only way people at Archie and Sega will continue to pay attention to him
>>148210348

not me im the laziest man in the world
Did he ever finish this
Morning /sthg/
>>148221626
No.
>>148198960
Welcome aboard. I did the same some time ago for the same reasons.
Playing Lost World for the first time. Upto the last Zone.
Why do all the stages in this game have no rhyme or reason, there's a act in Sky Road that clearly belongs in Desert Ruins, a fucking random candy and honeycomb level in the before mentioned Zone. It feels like they made these zones before they even knew what sort of game they were making. Sorry if I'm beating a dead horse but this game confuses me for something that's supposed to be another simple adventure.
Honestly, I'm not sure I'm going to be able to finish this in time for the 500th
If I can't, at least I tried.
>>148204987
I really have to wonder what you did go with! Good luck finishing it, anon.
>>148221927
Mornin'
>>148223085
That's looks really good so far dude
>>148223085
Pls finish
Do we got more of these

>>148225319
Excuse you
>>148223085

>>148224525
>>148223031
I think Lost World confuses everyone.
>>148223085
Fug, I can't think of anything to draw for 500.
>>148225461
SAI painter, though I was using Photoshop for until relatively recently.
I should have switched a LOT sooner.
>>148225959
Sounds like me and Clip Studio, still using Sai for lines and PS for painting.Fug it, I'll reuse the old birthday cake surprise thing.
>>148226023
I have clip paint but the interface is a little too intimidating to leap into.
And sadly my computer can't actually run it all that well.
>>148226172
What's your art name? You have a blog?
>>148225624
The final design should've been more cyborg then just robot
>>148226219
Yeah I do
But not much interesting there, unless this interests you.
>>148223031
>>148225706
>Lost Hex
>none of the stages have a hexagon motif other than Honeycomb Highway
>they didn't even do the bare minimum and replace the GHZ checkerboard dirt with hexagons
>>148225624
Shard/Ant looks the best.
>>148226415
kek it was just Super Mario Galaxy planets the hex motif would made the game look more original if they played it up more
DARN! WE'RE NOT GONNA MAKE IT!
LET'S SPEED UP!
>>148226415
Sonic Lost World has to be the most "just because" game I've ever played.
>>148226819
In a game about floating tubes and sphere the level design is flat
>>148226805
Nah fuck you
>>148226328
Well, you draw good. I hope I can be as you some day.
Trigger warning
>>148226819
I'm pretty sure the conceptualization phase of LW consisted of Iizuka pulling random words from a hat.
How else would you explain Zommom's fight on a pixelated robot head at the end of a honeycomb level in the Desert Ruins Zone.
>>148227157
Thank you
Practice a lot and I'm sure you'll be better than me in no time.
