CelestOrion's News

Posted by CelestOrion - 21 hours ago


Second half of 2025 is turning out to be a better half than the first, art-wise!


The team's doing a great job on the current batch of issues leading up to the finale of the Death Egg Saga in Sonic Legacy, and we can't wait to show off all this cool artwork they've been cooking up! Luckily, the gap between releases won't be as long, as the majority of the work is already complete! Once we go through the coloring phase, each issue will be done (minus Issue 18, that one needs more time in the oven)!


We're still working on the dubs of the issues, with Issue 6 currently in progress now that the music for it is completed. Mobius Legacy Issue 4 featuring Tempest is also in the works!

Good evening, Newgrounds! Haven't made a blog post in a while, because frankly we haven't had a lot to show off for 2024. Year was tough on a lot of our artists, and priorities had to be set for irl issues. With that said, though, we do have plans lined up for 2025 that we want to share!


2023 was a great year for the Sonic Legacy comic, with the team being able to crank out issues on a bi-monthly schedule for a while! Sadly, we were not able to continue that pace when 2024 rolled around, and it may prove to be difficult to get back to that pace at current standing with the amount of team we have currently active and available at a whim. What we plan on doing is, once the Death Egg Saga is finished with issue 18, and the cooldown issue of 19, we will be restructuring production to focus on one to two issues at a time with dedicated teams paired up who can synergize and bounce off of each other well, so that we can work in 'shifts' and leave plenty of free time available with the other artists.


Currently, Issues 13 through 19 are currently in development at various stages of completion. If we're really lucky, we can have Issue 13 out within the next month or two, depending on scheduling! The goal is to have at least issue 18 out by the end of the year. Mobius Legacy Issue 4, featuring Tempest after the events of Issue 5, is also in the works!


After the Death Egg Saga concludes, we will be opening the door to the broader world within Legacy, covering far more original stories while still tying the games to them. "Echoes of Time" will be the next arc, covering a loose adaptation of the events of Sonic CD, followed by "Shattered Sky", a three-part arc regarding the Battle Kukku!


We are also still working on Spirit of Mobius, although we have decided to convert it into comic format instead of pursuing animation. It will be a while before it will be completed as it is a lower-priority task.


We are also back to work on updating our Wiki pages, which has been neglected for quite some time! The goal for now is to update or create at least one page per day, which should catch people up on the story and lore while we wait between issues!


Lastly, we wanted to let everyone know that we're still holding the doors open for new artists to join the project! Right now, we're in desperate need of spare inkers and colorists to ease the workload on our pencilers picking up additional tasks to help release the issues. If you like the world of Sonic and want to help bring this ongoing story to the public, consider auditioning on our Discord server with a couple pages of original comic work you've created! We'll cover the finer details of the audition process within the server itself, don't worry.

Good afternoon, Newgrounds! Mobius Legacy Issue 3 is now out on Newgrounds! (Took me forever to publish because I am extremely forgetful)



With ML3 being published, we're now officially out of material to post on Newgrounds for a while! We have several issues cooking right now, with Sonic Legacy up to Issue 19, and Mobius Legacy 4 in the works! We also have the dub version of Issue 5 in the oven, so once the music portion is completed, we should be able to compile it and post it!


Pencils, inks, and color auditions are also still open for the project! Want to be a part of the team, especially once we get to the more original content after this arc? Join our Discord and post an audition!

It's 2024, Happy New Years! For those who work in any sort of field requiring documenting things, enjoy the next month of remembering to write the correct year.


We released Mobius Legacy Issue 3 yesterday on our website, showcasing how Knuckles first met Dr. Eggman when the Death Egg first crashed into the island. You can read it here.


We'll be taking a bit of a hiatus while we develop issues 13 through 18, as a couple of them hit a rough patch in the development process, and we want them to be a great as they can possibly be.


Also throwing out there that we're still always open for new artists to join the team! If you want to contribute to the project either with penciling the issue art, cleaning up the art with inking, or being a colorist, just drop on by our Discord server and submit an audition in the #art-auditions-only channel!


Hope to see you there!

Hiya, Newgrounds! Felt I should share the teaser pages here since we're now starting to upload the full comics in the Art Portal (thanks again to everyone who made the update happen!), so here we go!


For those first discovering Sonic Legacy, it's a long-term webcomic myself and many others are working on to reboot the Sonic franchise and tie in a lot of elements across different facets into one cohesive world, using the games as the primary backbone along with original worldbuilding and lore. Hope you'll stick around to read the issues, or maybe even join the team to help make them!

I legitimately keep forgetting that I have the Newgrounds account, and that it would really wise of me to make use of it.


It's been out for almost a month, but just throwing a post saying that Issue 11 of Sonic Legacy is now up on our website! We're also looking for more pencilers/inkers/colorists to round out the team to try and crawl closer to a monthly release schedule (we're currently powering through a bi-monthly release window, but having a few extra team members would allow flexibility for the others to take breaks and work more on personal stuff!)


If you want to audition for the project, just join our Discord server and audition with a couple of comic pages that you've worked on!


Sonic Legacy Issue 11 can be read via this link!

2023 has proven to be a turning point for the Legacy team, as we're now in a position where we can crank out content, such as issue releases, Legacy Uncut dubs, Debug Mode strips, and more, in a bi-monthly format! Really excited for today's release, as I helped work on the script alongside Sunshine Nine, and it's a turning point for the comic in tone and direction! Hope you guys enjoy it as much as we did making it.


Also, we're still open to new pencilers, inkers, and colorists joining the team, so if you want to make comics alongside us, drop an audition on our Discord server. Maybe one day, we'll hit a monthly release mark if we get a large enough team!


You can read the issue here!

Man, this one is probably our best release yet. I usually keep myself separated from the music development side, so that when I get to see everything compiled for the first time, I get a completely fresh take on the product, and this one blew me away! Massive credit to the voice actors, musicians, and Kwasior for phenomenal video editing! It makes me really excited to see what the rest of this arc will feel like!

Man, actually holding a physical copy of a project you work on feels so much different than releasing it online. The feeling never gets old.

Hey there, again, Newgrounds!


We recently had a couple of pencilers retire from our long-running comic project in order to focus on school and personal projects, and we wanted to raise attention that we've got open availability for new pencilers to join the fray!


Development is still smooth for the issues currently in development (Issues 7-12), while issues 13-16 are being written, and side-issues within universe are 2-4 being written. We've simply hit a point where we're powering through on the writing field, and lacked the penciler power to keep progress transitioning smoothly!


If you were interested in being a penciler for the team, you'd need to audition with two mock-comic pages to show your understanding of panel layout, character and setting dynamics, and artistic style. We'd also prefer people who audition to know how to both draw "Sonic-styled characters" and humans, as both exist within this universe. Auditions would not need to be inked or colored, but if you were wanting roles in the project for such, you are welcome to submit those, as well!


Auditions would be posted within our public Discord server under the #art-auditions-only channel, where our team of editors can review and provide input on the audition, any sort of constructive critique if needed, etc.


Below are examples of progress on the next batch of issues, to show varying artist styles, levels of progress, etc:


Issue 7:

Issue 10:

Issue 11:

iu_384877_2770653.webp


All issues that we create are dubbed and posted on both Newgrounds and YouTube, so if you want to be involved in a long-running comic (you're not required to be a permanent participant, but we welcome new faces who stick around the madhouse) to be hosted here, join up today and show us what you've got! We're always taking auditions, hope to see you there!
