🎨 Artcow Ken Penders - Former Archie Sonic Comic Writer/Artist

[Josterman]

I just saw the movie, and this is the cope I was hoping for.

It’s a double feature. I was expecting to see more of it. Although it’s going to be funny if he does sue or any legal action and gets shot down for it.

This just…..pathetic.

But not unexpected.

It’s sad really but also kind of funny when you think about it. He stole from the fans their characters that they love and a major company is “stealing” his ideas. If you follow that logic

So, if I've got this right... Penders wants to sue paramount because he thinks his own original character "Knuckles' dad" shows up.
He just heard about it through his fanboys and he's already making a scene and already talking about getting his lawyers involved despite not seeing the movie or even the character in question himself.
And to top it off, we got confirmation from Richard Kuta himself that the character was 100% absolutely without a doubt-
Nothing like Ken Penders' character.


When Kuta comes off as more level headed than you, you seriously messed up somewhere.

“It’s not ME making the claims, it’s the fans.”

Right, because clearly they wouldn’t fuck with you for fun or anything, Pendy boy.

You dipshit.

"Characters have parents". - Original concept by Ken Penders, DONUT STEEL!

 

[PeckingOrder]

Go on, Ken. Throw a lolsuit at Sega and Paramount’s way. It’ll be fun!

Maybe Kuta could send Penders a couple of diapers for the inevitable shitstorm Ken is about to unleash over this.

 

[The Lawgiver]

Plenty of artists create fan art and sell it as merchandise like posters or stickers. It is a bit of a gray area since the art is not a copy of existing official art. It sort of falls into derivative works and as you deducted, if it is not done in a large enough quantity, the IP holders don't care enough to make it worth pursuing legally.

The problem would arise if Ken claimed that the character is his or he were to publish and sell comics with Knuckles as the Sega character. This stuff is just extra weird because it is being done by someone who used to work on an officially licensed Sega comic as a subcontractor.

He DOES claim knuckles as his own, though specficallythe green and timeskip versions of knuckles, the latter of which he's co-opted into some fucking original the character by adding a gross ass goatee onto him and giving him some pretentious ass name.



Seriously though This shit is fucking reaching. Echidnas use the master emerald? TotallyEnerjak, copywritten original character from the officially licensed archie sonic comics! KEN PENDERS' FLOATING ISLAND PRODUCTIONS' THE LARA SU CHRONICLES.

Of course this would completely disregard the lore and events of sonic 3and knuckles with the master emerald being an ancient heirloom of great power guarded by knuckles' family tree, the fact knuckles himself uses the master emerald's power several times within the actual games. Hell, it's not just him but his ancestors too! Sonic adventure's entire plot revolved around robotnik literally blowing up the master emerald after finding out that thousands of years in the past a member of knuckles' tribe fucking used it's weird powers to seal a rampaging monster inside it.

I said it before and I will say it again Ken is long gone.

 

[A Grey Cat]

Ah ken keep this up and maybe you can take up the mantle Chris left behind after he got arrested.

Kuta's likely sperging out right now in private discords, given his previous outbursts.

God the shading is so garrish

Ken has this perfect mixture of ignorance and incompetence when it comes to applying color and shading to his work that result in this hodgepodge of ugly.

Ignorance because he can't figure out where the light source that determines the placement of highlights and shadows are supposed to go and because the shape of said shadows fail to convey the anatomy of the characters with any sort of consistency or understanding of the underlying shapes.

Incompetence because he uses the burn and dodge tools to apply highlights and shadows. an amateur mistake frowned upon by digital artists because it looks awful and there are far better and more flexible methods to do it properly.

He DOES claim knuckles as his own, though specficallythe green and timeskip versions of knuckles, the latter of which he's co-opted into some fucking original the character by adding a gross ass goatee onto him and giving him some pretentious ass name.

Ken is a deluded unoriginal plagiarizing moron that fashions himself as an avant-garde-auteur. He is at the same intellectual and creative level as a Sonic recolor sped on deviantart. The moment he tries to claim that Knuckles is his creation, green or otherwise, he's done. These aren't the 90s anymore, for the first time in ages Sonic is a relevant money making property, there is not a snow ball chance in Hell Sega or Paramount are going to allow some has been boomer fraud to ruin this. I'm sure Sega is keeping an eye on him, if they so much suspect he is going to try the same antics he pulled off during his Archie days, they are going to run a train of lawyers on his ass.

 

[Hoodie]

None of Ken's ideas were original to begin with.

I don't give a shit about spoiling this, but I thought the people who came out of the portal before Knuckles were going to be what set Penders off. They're dressed in black, and look vaguely like his cyberpunk echidnas. The same kind of shit he got his panties in a twist over that bioware game about.

But the part with Knuckles' dad definitely wasn't Penders' version of Knuckles' dad. They didn't even show echidnas with the kind of tech needed to microwave a baby.

He is shutting the conversation down, him referencing corleon, moon knight and him still backing up his position on NFTs.

Spoiler: This is what Ken is up and arms over?

And his claim is the design is stolen from either of these two characters:


Okay, I seriously have no fucking clue what the second thing is supposed to be, but at the end of the day all these characters are just copy and pasted Knuckles with a bunch of additional bullshit glued to them.
The character in the movie has none of the same accessories as the Penders one. No white beard. None of the same markings and I'm certain they didn't give him the same name.
So, all that's left for Ken to bitch about is "Well, I came up with the idea of Knuckles having a dad first!"

The Sonic fanbase just never runs out bullshit...
