Commentary for February 14, 2020:

Oh heck! It’s Tikal!

Tikal has (to my knowledge) never appeared in a 2D Sonic game, so there aren’t any official sprites of her. I created some custom ones back around 2004, which were some of my best work at the time, but they haven’t aged at all well. So, naturally, I needed to create some new ones. And I have to say, I’m pretty pleased with how they turned out. I decided to simplify her design a little, particularly her skirt, which I just made a solid green instead of the green, white, and pink pattern in official media. Aside from that, however, the look I was going for here is somewhere between Sonic Adventure and Sonic X.

I mentioned before that remaking this story for Eon’s World by removing a protracted fight with Megatron led to this story being shorter than the version originally told in Eon’s Comic. A straight re-creation of the original would have been nine pages, whereas this version is only eight, and I could have made it as few as six, if I hadn’t included the prologue page involving Horatio and this epilogue page showing Eggman’s now fully operational space bridge and Tikal’s return.

The prologue page would have been at the start of the next chapter if I hadn’t included it in this one, however, and I felt rounding off Chapter 20 with this page was important to the wider narrative. It also nicely connects the events of Chapter 20 with those of Chapter 21, which begins tomorrow.

Strap yourselves in, dear readers, because Chapter 21 is going to be intense!
