Hello!

So I've been working on this for about a month now, between getting a new job and everything, and Chris's most recent outburst made me finally decide to get an account here. SO NOW THAT I DO, I figured I could share my contribution to the most irrelevant fandom on the internet. I've provided a copy of my reference doc that has all the major spoilers redacted, although the chapter by chapter spoilers are obviously still there.

Text Reference Document:
https://docs.google.com/document/d/13SpO9bF3URZ94afcVkHpYSpNMlBC9YD0wOV_DJRv2lw/edit?usp=sharing

tl;dr I used the concept one person had (I believe Spazkid used it in his Sonichu The Animated Series) where once Count Graduon's staff was "destroyed" he actually escaped and reset the timestream. So it starts out with Chris stumbling into a new CWCville (modern tom-girl look included) where Graduon and his Jerkop army has taken over CWCville, so he has to find the members of the Chaotic Combo (who don't remember each other and have lived completely different lives, retconning the unnecessary origin stories) and recover the lost pieces of his medallion after it had been destroyed by trolls.

------------

Essentially I'm just doing this for fun, and thought it would be good writing practice to try to give some of the worst, most bland characters... actual character, and actually write a decent Sonichu story (although the focus is more on Chris and the neglected members of the Chaotic Combo). I've still got about six or seven issues to outline, so if you have any suggestions, ideas, or criticisms I'd love to hear it! I especially am struggling to flesh out Angelica's chapter, and I think Punchy's was very weak all things considered.

Also, I'm trying not to directly troll Chris as an additional challenge. I've accepted that, in order to make a comic that the "Sonichu fandom" likes, I'll have to throw in some irl references and jokes about him, but originally when I began writing this I envisioned it as almost a sort of redemption story for him- whether or not he deserves it irl. That being said, I just want the fact that like... I put minimal effort in and eclipsed everything he ever did artistically to be the trolling itself, not actually making personal attacks against him.

Also if you're just curious about what the art will be like, here's a couple of concepts I've made so far of Chris, Rosechu, and Wild:

And for reference, here's some pages of a failed webcomic I was making about a year ago (pages are listed in reverse):

I plan to make an official release around or on his birthday as a super special present, so don't expect anything more than concepts for a while.

Thanks and lemme know what you think!

Oh, how cool! I like that you actually gave Rosechu a weapon to try and combat her overall uselessness in canon. :biggrin: Best of luck with this project, I'll be watching~

Haha, thank you! I was always a fan of Amy, so it totally pissed me off how useless Rosechu is by comparison (like, unoriginal design aside, she is... "conceptually" a cute and cool character) completely useless and totally the opposite of Amy... except for being the MC's love interest. I figured since Amy had a hammer, I could have Rosechu's electric power translate to some sort of thunder based attack (like a certain Norse god and Marvel hero...).

Wild Sonichu as Solid Snake, oh gosh. :oops::heart-full:

I really like the design of the characters, especially Rosechu (nice rack!).

Modern Chris looks hideous (i.e. the way he is supposed to look). I wonder if he should wear some eye shadow or lipstick like Chris does here:

in order to convey that he is trying to be a tomgirl and not just a fat jelly ass with long hair. However, since the real tomgirl Chris looks like a regular fatty with long hair most of the time too, I guess it doesn't matter.

Looking forward to how this will turn out.

Lol thanks. Although I'm not entirely into furry stuff, I felt like it was necessary to prove- despite Chris's contributions to the contrary -you can, in fact, make an anthropomorphic animal characters look attractive... however you take that.

I considered using full on tom-girl CWC for the beginning of the comic, but since he's toned down a little I figured I'd give him the benefit of the doubt. He reverts back to classic CWC within the first issue of the comic, so unless he goes full on tom-girl irl within the next couple months, I'll probably stuff this away as a hidden reference or something somewhere.

It somewhat frightens me (in a good way) that every person that has a comic idea has their ideas more concretely fleshed out then mine. All the same, yours looks promising and should be a good compliment to my and Trickie's comic, as well as a fun counter to how I'm portraying the events after the original series. Looking forward to seeing more!

Oh hey, I noticed your fan comic on one of the other threads. If I didn't have to go to bed... three hours ago I would have read it tonight XD Soon, though. But I do really like the art style and the first couple of pages. I think as far as being fleshed out, one of my favorite things in the world is to take someone's mediocre to good idea and make it awesome so... with this comic, it's a whole extra challenge to get some decent world building and has made for a pretty good hobby the last few weeks.

I never realized there were so many decent fan comics of Sonichu though! I guess I just wasn't looking in the right places. It is kind of funny how most of the comics, except for the ones that redo it (either with better art or from a different perspective) all seem to be trying to give their own spin on the "conclusion" of the original series (probably because of Sonichu Finale, right?). I look forward to reading your comic sometime this week :)

Awesome, another fan comic! :biggrin: I like the premise a lot, it opens up the characters and their story to different and more flexible interpretations without needing to exhaustively explain what happened for each of them. Your art is adorable, too. I love the softness, and Wild Snake makes me smile a lot. xD

Can't wait to see what you come up with!

I love all your concept drawings to death! I can't wait to see what you make of this! Happy drawing! :heart-full:

Thank you!

Thanks! I read some of your comic too, and I loved the art style (where it's like MS Painty/pixel art almost)... plus because it's from Rosechu's point of view. :lol:

With all these awesome fan comics, they're eventually going to need a wiki for all the angsty artist drama spiraling out from people doing fan comics of a fan comic. :P

Don't really have a lot of time to read the synopsis right now, but I've skimmed through it for now and based on a few things I've seen I really like the sound of it. I love your redesigns of Rosechu and Wild. (Rosechu actually looks cool, and Wild Snake is just strangely hilarious and badass at the same time.)

I'll definitely think up more to say when I've read the full thing.

Man, this is going to be interesting to look at. It's miles ahead of anything I'd have thought of, for one...all I think of when I think of anything like Sonichu is using it as a wall to crash other characters into and watch them overcome. It's quite a different thing for me to see it done this way.

Thank you! I'll be waiting for your further opinions. :) Also, how could I NOT do Wild Snake?

Thank you very much, I'm glad you like it! There's definitely nothing wrong with the other approach either, I just happen to write different kinds of stories I guess.

Hey guys, sorry to bump this thread, but I'm currently working on Megagi's design. I'm having a lot of trouble thinking about... what his (she's a FTM transsexual in my canon) abilities/powers/fighting style should be. In my synopsis I describe her doing some "ninja shit" in the one major fight scene I have planned out so far. I suppose originally I was going to make her ninja inspired because her only power, in Chris's canon, is her "scent attack"... which I envisioned as a smoke bomb type of attack. I don't really know though, anybody have any suggestions?
