Knux the guardian

Who can say this wasn't comming? XD
It's Knuckles! My favorite character ___
He's just doin his guardian stuffs on Angel Island.
There has to be like 4 different versions of this picture, his pose was even different when I started this picture. I'll probably finish the other one some other time, but for now I wanna draw all the characters, Sonic's probably next.
Done in Paint shop pro 6.
Took a while I have no idea.
The emerald was the hardest thing this picture, and I'm not to fond of how his hands/knuckles came out..

Please don't tease me about my Sonic kick -.-; I'm already hearing it at home. It's funny to an extent but after a while it makes you feel like shit, it really does.
