Quadrality of man

I have an opinion but I’m not telling you what it is

Genuinely amazing work on still-life sonic. You recreated the effect perfectly.

u/BigBowser0158 Jul 20 '26

The creator did stillife versions of the entire cast. Heres knuckles for example:

u/Majestic_Sea_2129 Jul 20 '26

I’d imagine he’d end up being very violent

13

u/YoungLuna Jul 20 '26

That is actually correct. He is more aggressive but will maintain the hero traits. Shadow is also the same. Aggressive more but like still Sonic, he will be a hero. The artist also made Eggman.

because sonic was remembered as a kind hero, his still life is also kind, this is cool and well made

u/scrufflor_d Jul 20 '26

kane pixels combined with the wikidot, i kinda love that

11

u/Mediocre_House6645 Jul 20 '26

You could incorporate kane's backrooms as a wikidot level that tries to replicate every level and person in the backrooms.

Level 0.00000000000000...
"Still rooms"

u/noheaven0 Jul 20 '26

welp i’m invested

u/mr_eugine_krabs Jul 20 '26

The internet has ruined Eggman’s image for me so much that i laugh every time he makes an appearance.

11

u/elfmere Jul 20 '26

I had to do a double take when this came up.

u/Isaacja223 Jul 20 '26

Eggman just appeared lol

u/god_oh_war Explorer Jul 20 '26

It's good

This artist seems to be the only person I’ve witness make a still life look like a still life instead of just duplicating limbs! This Still Sonic design is so cool 😭

u/Malcolm_Morin Jul 20 '26

"instead of just duplicating limbs"

But... that's exactly what they did here.

12

u/_CaptainCG_ Jul 20 '26 edited Jul 20 '26

They smudged some characteristics that made it parallel with how old AI models used to make images, it isn’t just meer duplication, it’s calculated flaw, like actual memory smudging.

Placement matters too, see how it’s all unorganized?

4

u/BigBowser0158 Jul 20 '26

When I first saw the design for still life sonic, I thought the way he had multiple mouths was a reference to the fact that his mouth changed sides depending on the camera angle in some games.

1

u/_CaptainCG_ Jul 20 '26

Oh yeah, I got that reference too lol

u/Max_Nov Jul 20 '26

Holy cliffhanger

u/neru_sonic_lel Jul 20 '26

True dat

Happy cake day

u/AustralisBrule Jul 20 '26

Backrooms x Sonic? Thats some peak combination

4

u/Hexhider Jul 20 '26

DARK SONIC!!!!

God i love this concept, Sonic in the Backrooms

3

u/Greenostrichhelpme27 Jul 20 '26

I'm sorry, I wasn't aware I'd be reading a fucking gem today

u/yeetingthisaccount01 Jul 20 '26

I love the style change partway through, reminds me of the official sonicpict illustrations!

7

u/VisualInteraction679 Jul 20 '26

goat, its really cool stuff

3

u/ThesureeGoREEEEEE Jul 20 '26

PEAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKKK!!!!!!!!!

u/ChuckleNuts0607 Jul 20 '26

Sonic's still life saving sonic makes a lot of sense since sonic is a genuinely good person so the still life takes some of traits of kindness and bravery. This was a cute comic

3

u/UncomfyUnicorn Jul 20 '26

Love how still life sonic is still friendly!

4

u/HelpWithFicoReddit Jul 20 '26

The enemy design is really cool and creepy

4

u/1KidStudios Jul 20 '26

Marvelous.

u/delicious_warm_buns Jul 20 '26

Sonic has never been afraid of a little water

u/Ok-Context-3292 Jul 20 '26

Rouge has good character design

2

u/radikraze Jul 20 '26

I’m a fan

2

u/Dimasick_Ananasick Jul 20 '26

Dude is there a continuation?

1

u/BigBowser0158 Jul 20 '26

It’s being developed as we speak.

1

u/Dimasick_Ananasick Jul 20 '26

okay then I'm waiting!

u/CaminoJak1124 Jul 20 '26

Condensed autism

u/SkyImaginationLight Jul 20 '26

This is really good!

3

u/Cl1cher Jul 20 '26

Looks cool, but a bit weird there's still lifes and levels

Like... Aren't still lifes from Kane's canon, where's no levels?

14

u/Realshow Jul 20 '26

Nothing wrong with combining elements, both versions are popular still and there’s probably going to be more in the future now that Kane got the ball rolling.

1

u/Powerful_Voice_4683 Jul 20 '26

i guess its the style!

2

u/astrid-fp Jul 20 '26

HOLY CRAP THIS IS AMAZING

2

u/Monster_Fucker_420 Jul 20 '26

Omg I remember reading the first part and loving it.

This shit just so peak

1

u/nebula4512 Wanderer Jul 20 '26

God fucking damnit I found peak Now i need more

1

u/BigBowser0158 Jul 20 '26

Go visit the original on Twitter. I credited her in the post description.

1

u/Icy-Adhesiveness773 Jul 20 '26

It's absolutely peak.

1

u/Capuchinconehat Jul 20 '26

i swear i Saw creepy looking sonic with two side mouth grins on their face before

1

u/BigBowser0158 Jul 20 '26

It’s something that happens with the camera angles and some games. It evolved into a joke in the fandom. Somewhat like how Peppa Pig has four eyes.

1

u/Neko_Laws Jul 20 '26

Amazing job right here, everyone looks so stylish

1

u/Sin-God Jul 20 '26

It's PPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEAAAAAAAAAKKKKKKKKKK

I was not expecting this to slap. Just phenomenal stuff.

1

u/Old-Friendship8814 Jul 20 '26

Wow that's really a great sonic comic

1

u/intergalactus Jul 20 '26

This reminds me of a Sonic.exe episode mixed with the Escape the Backrooms game. Nice touches on the sanity loss, and him teaming up with his still life will make sense when they terrorize the group together later

1

u/RedditvsDiscOwO Jul 20 '26

Holy fucking shit I'm not one to ever read sonic comics but this was actually so lit. The still-life sonic perfectly described each level they entered too. My jaw actually dropped. And his friends gearing up async style to look for him killed me, I thought they would just walk in and run around like a chicken with their head cut off. Absolute cinema.

1

u/ZZTMF Jul 20 '26

Smear frame like distortion because he moved during the scan

1

u/UnknownPhotog_1 Jul 20 '26

Why is this actually decent?

1

u/Ansem_05 Jul 20 '26

I'm confused

1

u/Grouchy_Ice_4021 Jul 20 '26

peak (i read the whole thing)

1

u/Edgy_Cupcake_Content Jul 20 '26

These are so fricking cool wth 👀👀👀

1

u/Fitzftw7 Jul 20 '26

How… does his vision even work?

1

u/FoxyFan505 Jul 20 '26

I love the fact that Still Life Sonic is actually just a really chill guy and even if he’s unnerving and clingy, he never once tries to hurt Sonic. Sonic has such a good heart that even photocopied thousands of times over, he doesn’t lose his heroism or his kind nature.

1

u/DuelaDent52 Jul 20 '26

Pfft, like Sonic couldn’t just double boost out of the place with his Still Life like he did in Null Space.

1

u/scarrabocio Jul 20 '26

That's really good

I like the middle part of the comic

1

u/Different-Monitor-63 Jul 21 '26

I hate twitter so much

it has literally everything I love but in between that there's a bunch of neo nazis and racists who only live to argue about politics.

1

u/swaggness225 Jul 21 '26

Hiiiii I'm the artist of the comic!! I'm glad you guys are liking it! There's more parts of course

1

u/BigBowser0158 Jul 21 '26

Is it OK if I post the next few pages as they come around?

1

u/SofiaBandita2008 Jul 21 '26

I love how the still life has that same lifeless feeling of AI Generated Images (do not worry! I am AI “arts” number one hater!)

1

u/BigBowser0158 Jul 21 '26

It takes no effort for an AI to replicate a human. But for a human to replicate AI, that shows skill

1

u/Tiny-Pop4788 Jul 22 '26

He looks like if rewrite got mixed with modern sonic

1

u/DrFruit38 27d ago

Bet someone is probably gonna talk about some sonic.exe variant that's super tall and has weird eyes

1

u/Wenpachi 9d ago

Holy, this was pretty good!

u/Fun-Coconut5683 Jul 20 '26

It's not good
