ermm infodump about knux's fists under the cut
I'm probably missing something here, but I always found it kind of strange how some artists will depict Knuckles without gloves as having these spurs on his hands. I guess that is quite a literal and straight forward way of representing the shapes of his gloves, and I don't think there's anything wrong or incorrect about this depiction (especially if it actually showed up in cannon somewhere and I just didn't see it), but personally I don't see it that way.
I always kind of figured that those two little points were meant to be something that he was concealing underneath his gloves rather than something that is a part of his body.
My logic being... The gloves he wears are boxing gloves. Boxing gloves are meant to soften the impact of a punch so that you don't kill your opponent or otherwise seriously mess them up while participating in the sport. Knuckles was introduced as an antagonist who later on became a good guy, right. So I kind of figured that the reason he had shapes under his boxing gloves (which are supposed to be for fairness's sake) are because he's 'cheating'. Putting something heavy or even dangerous underneath or around your boxing gloves can negate the softening effect and cause even worse damage to your opponent.
His tribe is called the Knuckles tribe. He's named Knuckles because he's the last one. I figured his tribe was called the Knuckles tribe because they specialized so well in hand-to-hand combat that the weapons they developed and were known to use were brass knuckles. I figured that's what he was hiding under there, and that's why I draw him without the boxing gloves, fully exposing weapon that has been hidden underneath his gloves this whole time.
(I like to draw them hanging on his side when not in use so his hands are free to grab stuff.)
So I guess in summary, I kind of figured it was meant to convey the message that Knuckles can and does fight dirty. We continue to see that he will resort to underhanded techniques here and there, even if they've become less frequent with time. (Most recent example I can think of is when he threw a rock at the last robot standing in the Frontiers Prologue)
To me, conveying them as random spurs (something echidnas don't really have) feels a bit too literal and loses some flavour. Also I like decorating the iron knuckles to have aztec serpents carved into them or something, as if maybe they belonged to his father or he uncovered them from the ruins on Angel Island or something. It adds some culture and history to his character that I really like.
knuckles as a human .....??
this was a fun exercise because tbh i prefer anthros... but stepping out of my comfort zone to draw a human again for the first time in like a year was neat. trying to think about how i regard his features when i draw him as an echidnabear thing and how to translate that onto a human body was interesting
i wanted him to look older, gentle, yet very capable and experienced. basically my dream man. pff
ermmm. sorry i havent been very active lately. i have some owed art i still need to work on and the holidays kicked my ass a little

come here knuxamy fans. i will feed you. i will keep you safe.
fraggle mobians!
Fat Knuckles is an inspired design choice. Completely fitting. Boy's supposed to be a bruiser, he should either look stacked or like he could knock over a house if he ran into it fast enough, and making him fat a way to satisfy that in a way thats both surprising and makes complete sense. Also the way you draw him makes him look awesome. A+ no notes.
ahh thank you!! i'm glad you appreciate my take! i make him fat because i portray him with a power lifter's body type! a regular body builder will just have a lot of muscle mass and less fat percent - it's often just for show and it isn't very sustainable. power lifters are built to .. well, lift a lot of weight! they have a higher fat percentage and are often a lot physically stronger than bodybuilders.
here's an example pic from this post on quora
for knuckles, i imagine him as being able to not only throw a devastating punch but be able to lift a lot of weight over his head too. a shredded look wouldn't make much sense for that, especially since he lives on an island and doesn't have gym equipment or anything. i feel like he'd be fatter looking, but he's not overweight per-say. he's just very strong - and naturally so!
heres a pic i drew earlier this year. you can kinda see what im going for :D altho these days i draw him even bigger lol
another factor for him is his age! i draw/portray him as being in his 30s so he's kinda softer now. that period of time in his life where he was able to evade the gut is long gone. you'll notice that if i ever draw knuckles at a younger point in his life, he isnt fat. being bighuge is a more recent thing for him as a result of him hitting later maturity
