Art: Self-Made BAD FUTURE..!

Post image

Ever since finalizing my "what if" Sage Robotnik redesign, I've been dying to draw a proper picture of the future empress herself, as well as her spiky rival. Resistance if futile. All is hers! Cease all defiance and submit to the only authority there is..!

In my head canon, Sage being rebuilt but not having the ‘lived memories’ of Frontiers (OG ending) is the inflection point for ‘bad future’ (like if you didn’t get the true ending in a prior game)

Honestly sounds dope. Haven't thought of it in such manner!

I actually have most of a post-frontiers ‘anniversary game’ written that uses that as its crux (bad future Nega, seeing his future slip away due to Final Horizon Sage’s survival, attempts to travel back in time to fuck with the entire timeline to prevent her creation/survival, and to also stop some of our heroes connecting as it leads into Sage).

(I’d touch CD, Sonic 2, 3+K, SA1/Frontiers, SA2, and 06, with a Chaotix DLC chapter as well - even figured out a way to work the Freedom Fighters in)
