gonna slowly work on redoing old tags for organization purposes

a better look at max! decided to make him a dog, specifically a xoloitzcuintle (mexican hairless dog). @jukoduko helped with the design, but the badlydrawnmanic style is pretty chibi and makes things inherently cuter lmao

"well... i didn't. scourge brought him when he crashed at my place. thought they were sibs, but-"

"somethin' botherin' you, lil' dude?"

"Woof... Just my luck to choose a stuck one. I just gotta-!"

[The intruder tumbles in through the window]

"YO!!"

"Ah, shit..."

"... Manic?"

Q: hi!

A: hi :)

--------------------------------------------------

Q: these manics aren't badly drawn at all! this is false advertising!

A: thank you for the compliments! this blog has been running intermittently for almost a decade, so the style has naturally changed and improved over time. it's still pretty low effort compared to my normal art, but if you wanna see some actual badly drawn manics, check the #2018 tag! those ones are pretty jank

--------------------------------------------------

Q: can you draw my oc?

"stupid no zone..."

"stupid zone cops..."

"stupid-"

[sigh] "dammit"

this takes place in a universe separate to the usual canon/s and is set in the modern day - it's been quite a while since this universe's version of sonic underground, so manic and his siblings (as well as scourge) are somewhere in their early 20s

manic currently lives in a small apartment in downtown station square. it's cramped and cluttered (he still has a compulsion to "collect" things), but he likes cramped and cluttered, so it works out for him. he got a bit lonely after he and his siblings went their own separate ways again, but they try to touch base every once in a while. out of the three, manic's life is the least eventful by a pretty significant margin

while he hasn't revealed anything yet (and isn't planning to), scourge, not from this dimension, has gone through an earth-shattering event that's significantly changed his demeanor compared to canon. he's still abrasive, reckless, and crude, but seems to have grown at least a fraction of a conscience, "getting soft," as he would put it. the real question is... what kind of event could have possibly made him change like that?

kingpin, also not from this dimension, is a young hedgehog (about cream and charmy's age) that bonded with scourge somewhere between scourge's canon event and when he met manic. though he was considered a pest at first, a worn-down scourge eventually caved in, unofficially "adopting" the little guy and bringing him along for the ride. kingpin doesn't talk much, but he likes to draw and will show up with the boys from time to time

manic met scourge (and kingpin) relatively recently. scourge won't go into where he came from or what he was doing before they met, but manic let scourge crash on his couch, one thing led to another, and now they're roommates. manic appreciates the company, and scourge... he gets free food and warm place to sleep, which is more than enough for him (he'd never admit it, but the friendship is pretty nice, too)

"... leaving?"

"you didn't write that, did'ja, bud?"

[kingpin shakes his head]

"did he tell ya where he was goin'?"

[kingpin shakes his head again]

"guess it's a you n' me day, then"

"... hope that's not related"

yeah hey it's me again, the bitch with the headaches? you know the one

so i may have redesigned farrell again (and done a paper and pencil drawing for the first time in a while). fat fuck friday
