You may want a separate topic for that. Not many people would want to see Ken Penders' works in here.

He doesn't deserve his own topic, unless it's to criticize his shitty illustrations.

What better way to vent out one's frustrations at Ken Penders then with a thread featuring his works.

Ken Penders was a former writer and artist for the Sonic comic back in the day.  He did a lot of world-building, primarily for Knuckles.  After a dispute with him, he sued Archie and spun off all of his Knuckles stuff into its own series, and Archie pulled a reboot to excise everything that he touched from the comic.

In general, Ken Penders has a reputation for being an egotistical douchenozzle. Lots of stuff on Tumblr about him, including tweets of his.

Ah... Mecha Madness... That brings back memories.  I loved that storyarc.

Back in the day, Penders wasn't too bad when he still had a firm leash on him.  It was after the whole Dark Legion arc that he went insane and everything he touched went to crap.  Even the Dark Legion stuff was tolerable.

Seems to be a trend with a lot of writers when let off the leash. Look at George Lucas for example.

Ken Penders literally telling someone to put his name and copyright info on their fan art.

I'm making the same face that Lien-Duh's avatar is making after reading Pender's statements.

If this man has family, he is disgracing the Penders' name by his words and actions.

"K'nox AKA by nickname acquired as a young lad due to the unusual bone structure of his hand."

Clearly his nickname was...

1. Is it really necessary to put the entire family tree in the family section for someone who isn't an Assassin's Creed protagonist?

2. Assuming the character is a teen or young adult it's kind of weird that she looks like an old lady to me.  It's the face really.

3. Lol her name has Su in it.

4. Echyd'nya?

5. Proficient with a Dagon?

6. Her backstory is a complete and utter mess, as expected of course.

7. That red part of her hair looks like a wig.

Those were basically the things that jumped out at me.

Even Assassin's Creed doesn't do that.

Eh it was kind of the best example I had that seems remotely reasonable but definitely not perfect.

I can almost imagine him locked in his room at 3am, scribbling random [tornado fang]ing names down for the family tree with a night-light above his bed.

I cannot be bothered to read all those names.
