Gift: Dagger the Echidna

Description

._____.

As they turned around, they saw a crimson-red echidna land in the pile of rubble. Ashley gasped, and immediately began backing away. “Run.” She growled. Sonic turned his head. “What…why-” “I said RUN!” She shouted, and began heading back towards the base. Sonic scratched his head. “Uh, Knuckles? What’re you doing?” He asked in confusion. “I think you scared Ashley.”


Suddenly, Sonic heard a voice from immediately beside him. “Sonic…I’m right here.” Sonic’s eyes popped. That was Knuckles. “But if you’re here…then who’s…?” He looked back at the other red echidna. And indeed, there was a difference between him and the echidna he knew.


This figure was darker in color; like the color of fresh blood. He, unlike Knuckles, did not have spiked gloves. He did wear, however, a pair of shoes with two spikes on the toes and one on the heel. He wore a belt that held two knives, one on each side. And finally, his eyes were a sickly green that reflected…madness. This was definitely not Knuckles.


Now that Sonic saw him more clearly, he didn’t resemble Knuckles at all. He seemed to walk in a more animalistic fashion, crouched slightly, like a predator. His face was twisted into a sickening grin that hinted at malice and desire. He let his eyes pass over the threesome.


“You…are enemies…of Eggman?” He asked, tense. Sonic nodded, beginning to back away. “Tails…Knuckles…get out of here. I’ll distract him. Go, follow Ashley.” He whispered. The echidna flexed his muscles. “Then…I have permission…to kill you.” His eyes flashed with excitement. “Let there be…blood!”

Well. .__.

I finally decided I would try drawing this character.

Drawing Dagger proved a much more difficult task than I first thought .___.



I wasn't exactly sure how....'insane' Dagger was intended to be, but by Carma's description, I drew this as a result xD This is probably the first time I've ever attempted a character like this xDD And of COURSE the scanner murdered the quality, but I digress -_-''


Anyway, Carma, forgive me if you don't like the slight changes I made to his design D: This is how I would see Dagger:


-Wild, ruffled, matted hair along his forehead that is normally smoothed out for Knuckles
-His headspikes (Do you call them that for Echidnas?) are a little more frayed, and apt to be pressed into wild angles at the simplest brush or push. Some simply won't stay flat against his head.
-He also has a but of a tuft on his chest, another trate not unique to Knuckles
-His pupils are more slitted
-He does not wear gloves, and has distinct, sharp claws.



I'm pleased with the pose, but maybe not with the anatomy. I know his arm is extremely long, but I like it that way ^^ I hope he looks animalistic enough~

I tried to stick as close to his origional design as I could, even though I took the cuffs of his shoes and cut them a bit. But for all it's worth, those ARE two spikes on the toe of his shoe xDD


I tried a new shading style here also. Not sure if I pulled it off or not, but that's for everyone else's opinion to decide xD This is just a gift I made for a good friend~


I hope you like this Carma!!! :D ENJOY!~
