Manic Meets Tails

Description

Everyone knows that Sonic and Tails are brothers for life.  What some people don't know is that Sonic also has a biological brother.

On the show Sonic Underground, Sonic didn't team up with Tails or the Freedom Fighters, but siblings original to that show, Manic and Sonia.  I've never seen the show, but I'm led to believe that Manic has a similar cocky attitude as Sonic and is a cunning thief (but he steals from Robotnik, so that's not bad).  This is a pretty sharp contrast to Tails, who we all know to be quiet and modest.  Upon meeting Tails, Manic is a little angry, jealous and disappointed in this "brother."  Manic's more aggressive personality quickly overwhelms poor Tails, whose weak performance only seems to confirm Manic's doubts.  Now that Sonic's on the scene, I'm sure he'll straighten everything out and it won't be long before everyone realizes they don't have any enemies, just a new brother to love.

I made this entirely in Adobe Illustrator with line and shape tools.  This isn't my most detailed picture (I intentionally phoned it in with the hands), but it is the only picture where I feel I got Mobian proportions correct.  I played around with Manic, using his original DiC Design to make him look like he's Tails' age (a throwaway line in the Archie Comics implied that Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog took place when Sonic was 8, so I took that and ran with it).  I'm over the Moon with how Tails turned out, considering his complicated pose and features (like his bangs and feet).  This ain't the best picture around, but it's better than the last time I drew Tails.

Fellow Sonic follower and big-time Manic fan, EvilLexie made her own version.  Check it out!
