So this One-Shot had a pretty straightforward premise, Sonic characters versus DC heroes they had something in common with. Now, I know there was a Justice League and Sonic crossover in the comics not too long ago, but I don’t keep up with modern comics and have only seen a handful of panels shared around. I talked with the Subscriber who submitted this script and decided I didn’t want to worry about referencing that comic (I don’t even know how much these pairings overlap with that comic, anyway) and just do my own thing. So I went with the Bruce Timm/DCAU designs for the heroes, ’cause I think that simpler art style looks best with the way I tend to draw Sonic characters. I think the result works, like this JLU/Sonic X crossover feels like it could’ve happened to me. The one trick was the last panel, as neither Starfire nor Blaze appeared in their respective cartoons. Blaze wasn’t hard to work with, but I did need to figure out an approach for Starfire. I ended up leaning more into her design from the later animated movies, but with a few tweaks to make her feel a bit closer to the Teen Titans design I usually use for her.
I was told to add any dialogue I wanted for this one, so I tried to have a little fun with that.
