Tea, I'd rather just give you 3000 life points.

When the control of this face-up card on the field shifts to your opponent, increase your Life Points by 3000 points. This effect can only be used once as long as this card remains face-up on the field.

This was a project we had cooked for awhile, and on it Congressman and I both refined our styles a lot. His own feedback helped with shaping how the narrative went and complemented his amazing art. Here's more concept work we did. Aside from his bsky, check his site too: zjordanillustration.art

Intended Cover for our Sonic and Knuckles Collab, illustrated by Zach Jordan depicting Sonic, Knuckles, and Fang with Badniks in the shadows.

A collage of Knuckles and Sonic in classic style, showing a panel of Sonic bursting into action, a tired Knuckles, the both of them reacting to Bzzzz from off panel, Sonic posing with a chaos emerald, Knuckles kneeling and shadowed by a trigger with Eggman's shadow looming, and Sonic and Knuckles busting one another's chops.

Both our signatures are also present.

I realized @thecongressman.bsky.social and I never shared this one here, but here are the finished pages from an old Sonic and Knuckles collab. Life and obligations kept us from going as far as we planned, but I'm immensely honored to work with him and proud of our work #SonicTheHedgehog ⬇️

Writer: Lorenzo Antonio Hall
Artist: TheCongressman

Page One: (5 panels)

Panel 1- The panel shows an overhead landscape image of Azure Lake on Angel Island. There is a tree casting shade. Knuckles may be spotted there with a few animals.

(A) Caption
Azure Lake, Angel Island.

Panel 2- This panel is closer in, showing Knuckles laying down under the tree, his eyes closed, a faint smile on his face. Among the animals one thought was to include a giant flicky and maybe one of the 3D blast versions for variety.

Panel 3- There’s the sound of an engine humming up above towards the sky. Knuckles opens his eye, moderately concerned

(B) SFX
VRRRRRRR!

Panel 4- The panel shows Sonic in the Tornado, flying towards Angel Island, potentially waving down at Knuckles.

Panel 5- Knuckles, now standing, is looking up, concerned. He’s still a little wary since Sonic’s presence usually means trouble one way or another.

(C) Knuckles
What’s he doing here?

Page Two: (6 panels)

Panel 1- The Tornado has touched down and Sonic is seen jumping from the cockpit, a smirk on his face. He’s glad to be able to move while Knuckles is standing there, his arms folded. The animals are excited to see Sonic.

(A) Sonic
Phew, there you are! I was looking all over the island for ya.

(B) Knuckles
Well, you found me. What do you want, Sonic?

Panel 2- Sonic is now closer to Knuckles, a smug look on his face. He can’t help but tease Knuckles a little, who still looks a bit bemused.

(C) Sonic
Good to see you too, Knucklehead. How long’s it been?

(D) Knuckles
(still stiff) Not long enough. Where’s Tails?

(E) Sonic
At his workshop working on one of his machines. The little guy’s busy, so I figured I’d head out on my own for awhile. He’s partly why I’m here, though.

Panel 3- Sonic is more in focus, maybe a hand out and gesturing as he recounts the story. Alternatively, you could have him petting one of the animals to get across his dynamic with them.

(F) Sonic
He wanted to take some time to study the Chaos Emeralds. We have one on hand, but he said he needs another to see if they have different properties. I figured I should check here to see if one wound up on Angel Island since they scatter all over.

Panel 4- The panel shows Sonic looking at Knuckles, who now has a hand on his hip and another on his chin.

(G) Knuckles
The Chaos Emeralds, huh?

(H) Sonic
Right. I know it’s a long shot, but been any around?

Panel 5- The panel’s view is over Knuckles’ shoulder, one of his hands extended while Sonic looks surprised towards his hand

(I) Knuckles
As a matter of fact…

Panel 6- The yellow Chaos Emerald is in Knuckles’ palm as the focus

(J) SFX
TA-DA-DADADA-DAH! (Reference to the Get Chaos Emerald jingle)

(K) Knuckles
I have.

Page Three: (6 panels)

Panel 1- Sonic is looking at the emerald, a smile on his face, a faint glow is coming off it

(A) Sonic
Wow, that was easier than I expected. When did you find it?

(B) Knuckles
I found it when I was patrolling Sandopolis. I was surprised, but I figured I might as well keep it on hand.

Panel 2- Sonic nods, his eyes closed as he thinks, a hand is on his elbow and the other hand is palm up while he muses.

(C) Sonic
Guess I’m lucky you decided to pay attention. I know you found it and all, but maybe I could-

Panel 3- The panel is roughly a match, but now Sonic’s eyes are open in surprise and facing towards his hand, where Knuckles has lightly tossed the Chaos Emerald.

(D) Knuckles
Here. Take it.

(E) Sonic
Huh?

Panel 4- Knuckles has turned his back from Sonic and is walking away from the hedgehog, a hand up as if to dismiss him. Sonic is holding the emerald in both hands.

(F) Knuckles
You got what you came for. My job guarding the Master Emerald will be easier if I don’t have to worry about the other emeralds attracting attention.

Panel 5- Knuckles is alone, walking to the right from the Panel’s point of view, his eyes closed. (This panel is a joke set up, Sonic’s speed blur should be seen going from behind Knuckles and past him and lead into next panel)

(G) Sonic (Off-panel, from behind Knuckles)
Really? You sure?

(H) Knuckles
I don’t mind, besides, I better get back to work. Have a safe flight back, give Tails my best.

Panel 6- Near match panel, but now Sonic has zipped in front of Knuckles, the speed trail stopping behind Sonic. Knuckles is stopped, surprised Sonic’s in front of him now. Sonic has an impish grin.

(G) Sonic
Thanks, pal, but it doesn’t feel right just grabbing this and leaving. Besides, I just got here and I need to stretch my legs a bit. You sure I can’t do something to help you out as thanks?

Page Four: (4 panels)

Panel 1- Knuckles, visibly sighing in exasperation, is looking at Sonic. Sonic is balancing the emerald on his index finger, lightly sassing Knuckles

(A) Knuckles
Fine, if you REALLY want, then you can help me with resetting some of the traps on the island. Just promise not to get in my way.

(B) Sonic
Me? Get in your way? Wouldn’t dream of it! After all, you do that better than anyone else! Just let me know when you need me to do something and I’ll get on it.

Panel 2- Knuckles and Sonic are shown walking away from the area, but there’s a sensor visor over the panel and it’s green colored. Someone with high tech binoculars is looking at them

(C) Knuckles
Alright, this way. We’ll take a shortcut to speed this up.

Panel 3- The panel shows Fang the Hunter across the lake, hidden amongst greenery, holding the binoculars.

Panel 4- The binoculars are down, and Fang’s shown smiling wide.

(D) Fang
Heh. Looks like this gig got more interesting.

Not familiar with Drogune? This blurb's a nice welcome into the sciience-Fantasy universe and its drive. Space dragons, facing the creep of fascism, and more are in store! bumblekingcomics.itch.io drogune.com/read/

Ages ago, the six realms of Galaxant were created by the gods - The Drogune.

They crowned the forever king and vanished into the holy realm -- Or so it's said.

Wynd and her adopted sister Lisie are the last of the Drogune.

They travel with the mana hunters Foren and Jobbun aboard Fortune's Lap, trying to make ends meet while staying one step ahead of Galaxant's military forces.

Our gods are the underdogs. Our spaceships run on Magic.

Welcome to
DROGUNE

Wynd, Lisie, Forren, and Jobbun are all depicted from bottom to top.

Two folks said Shocker. Start up:

There were few bars that could hold the Shocker. At least, that was what the Shocker liked to tell himself. It had been weeks since his last defeat and making bail had proven difficult. The costumed criminal was left without his weapons or a means to get out soon. What was worse yet was the public defender he had been left with seemed like he barely knew his job. It was insult to injury for one of New York’s finest bank robbers, but he knew there was a way out. There almost always was.

‘All I gotta do is wait for one of the others to get pinched and maybe we can bust out,’ Shocker reasoned as he laid in his cot and looked at the cell’s ceiling. ‘Maybe I can talk Mysterio or Scorpion into making a Terrifying Two or somethin’.’

While the notion rolled around in Shocker’s mind, he had little reason to expect that he would be free within the next few hours.

“Herman Schultz?” came the voice of a guard.

Shocker sat up, looking over to see the guard and a stranger in sunglasses. With slicked back hair and a stony, serious expression. He looked to the guard before replying. “Yeah?”

“Your suit’s here.”

There was a moment Shocker considered saying he didn’t know the stranger, but he could feel their eyes staring at him behind the glasses. “Right.”

“I’ll be waiting to discuss with you in private...Mr. Schultz.”

There was a sense of trepidation as Shocker saw the lawyer walk off, with him wondering who could be behind it. They didn’t seem like a Maggia lawyer, they tended to be a little more smug since they were usually criminals themselves. There wasn’t disdain either, more detachment, a matter-of-fact manner outside of their prodding presence.

A short time passed before Shocker was moved to the room for counsel, with him looking around at the corners and starting to kneel to look under the table before the suit cleared his throat.

“The room isn’t bugged, Mr. Schultz. Neither I nor the people I represent would stand for such a thing.”

“People. Plural. So, you’re n…

When I was a young person, whether it was a novel, comic, or manga, if a story was engaging, I'd be drawn in by that spark of imagination. It would bring a light to my eye and stay in my mind. You never know what'll bring a love of reading, & Drogune may be that for someone, if you give it a look!
