Knuckles the Echidna (Sonic the Hedgehog series)

This sketch was done for me at my local comic book store's "Not at Comic Con Comic Con 2012" event by Dawn Best. One of the main reasons I was drawn to her artwork in the comics was because of the way she drew the echidna characters, especially Knuckles and Dimitri. To me, there aren't a lot of artists that can get their expressions "just right" (even currently in the comics), and Dawn Best was always one of the ones that could. This sketch is a perfect example of why I love her Sonic artwork so much; it's a mix between "classic" and "modern" style, Knuckles expression is spot-on, and he's in a cool action pose with his dreadlocks going everywhere. This has to be one of my favorite drawings of my all-time favorite video game character!
