The Crucifixion of Sonic pg 1

Assignment done for Joe Kubert's class. We had to take the story of the crucifixion of Jesus Christ and portray it in our own way. It could be an allegory or straight Jesus.

I decided to go with Sonic the Hedgehog being crucified by Mario and the rest of the Nintendo universe.

All done in pencil, but because of my tight schedule, I cheated a bit and did some shading in photoshop.

The idea I was going for in this was, since Sonic has been coming out with a line of terrible games as of late, and being licensed by Nintendo, he and his friends have no place in their world anymore. Sonic's presence among Nintendo is considered blasphemous. So Mario, the "king" of Nintendo, sends Sonic to be exiled.
