The Metallix Armyby ~TurboJUK

Fan Art / Digital Art / Drawings / Games

Being a British fan of Sonic the Hedgehog, I naturally bought Fleetway's Sonic the Comic. It was excellent until I realised that the strips I was reading were reprints, and it was cancelled soon after.
One thing that always stood out for me was Metal Sonic. You see, they never called him 'Metal Sonic'. Instead, he was called Metallix. I love the name, and I've always called him that, regardless of which model of Metal Sonic it is.

Now, onto the picture. Several years ago, I began drawing the Mecha Sonic from Sonic & Knuckles, the one that you fight in Sky Sanctuary. It was of a much more awesome design than the standard Metal Sonic, and I think Sega should've done more with it.
Now, following this, I had an idea, very similar to StC's 'Brotherhood of Metallix', where the Metallix rebelled against Doctor Robotnik and tried to exterminate Sonic themselves. Except this was different.

The Mecha Sonic had been rebuilt, and was under the control of a man who repaired hundreds of other badniks Robotnik had sent for scrap. When the man died, Mecha Sonic inherited everything he owned. As it turned out, the man wasn't as mentally stable as he appeared, and this was reflected in Mecha's programming. One thing lead to another and Mecha Sonic found himself building an army of Metal Sonics. He dubbed himself the Master Metallix and began a conquest of power, aiming to destroy Sonic and get revenge on Robotnik.

The picture shows part of their plot. Following its destruction, the Death Egg's remains fell back to Mobius, landing in the deserts of the Dust Hill Zone. Master Metallix is aiming to restore it to its former glory. And with a Chaos Emerald already in his grasp, his plans are within reach...
The Master's design is based on a mix of other designs; from the standard Metal Sonic, the S&K Mecha Sonic and Fleetway's interpretation of it.
I totally didn't re-use the same Metallix drawings throughout the picture. Totally...
I also decided to try something new: thicker outlines. Why? I dunno. I just think it works.
