Oh my its been a while. I think I was too ambitious to animate Lionel dancing.

Mighty
Mighty the Armadillo is probably my favorite Sonic character. His design is really basic and his colors really seem to be his trademark look. I really wish he had a game of his own. He was also among one of the oldest Sonic characters to be created. He was around long before Tails and was able to come back and star as a team member for Knuckles’ Chaotix.
Here’s to an unappreciated Sonic character. Mighty, you rock.
Espio
Not my best rendition of Espio, but then again I wouldn’t post this stuff if I didn’t like it in someway. Keep in mind that I am drawing these Sonic characters in their old school designs. I’m not too thrilled of their 2000s revamp. This is how Espio looked in Knuckles’ Chaotix in 1995, before Sega made him a ninja chameleon.
Knuckles
Don’t seem too surprised. Sonic is always followed by a Knuckles when it comes to Fan Art.
Yes, of course Sonic
When I was growing up with his first Sega games, he was in his classic design. Simple black eyes, and a practical proportion of his trademark spines. I started collecting Sonic Comics from the very beginning in 1993 and was blown away by other Sonic renditions by artists like Scott Shaw!, Manny Galan, Sam Maxwell, Jon Gray, and my personal favorite Patrick Spaziante.
When Sega wanted to revamp him in 1998, Sonic took what I think was a turn for the worse. He looked meaner, stingy, and malicious with his new slicked spines, green eyes, and smirk. Here’s to a classic video game character when he was in his prime (1990 – 1995).
Lionel Lineman: Running
Run Lionel Run!
Fairly OddParents
Butch Hartman’s Fairly OddParents is a guilty pleasure of mine. I just love his retro character design and super quick humor that is showcased in every episode. Here’s to you Butch!

Lionel Lineman: Fishing
Today Lionel gives fishing a whirl. I wanted to emphasize more on his posing in hopes that his body language was easily readable. I know I could have spent more time on his struggle reeling in and pulling on the line, but Lionel tests are purely experimental.
Lionel Lineman: Baseball
Well I was able to get Lionel to do another quick test for me today. He’s doin a more dynamic animation this time: throwing a baseball.
Put some pepper on it Lionel!
Lionel Lineman: Scared
LOOKY HERE! It’s my first animation since I finished my senior film in May! I still got it!!
Here is my new minor character that I’ll be showcasing on here, Lionel Lineman.
I’m trying out a new animation program and I was just goofing around with it when I came up with this little animation test. I want to try and do at least a 3 second animation test once a week.
So without further ado, Lionel getting spooked in a typical character animation test.
Welcome to the MatTOONArt cast Lionel!
