Yep, this rather finicky subject from the old KFC forums that I've regrettably caused so much drama about. Mostly because I was being a fanboy about it.
Welp, whether you agree or disagree with the idea of an unclothed Sonic-styled Klonoa as well as a Super form (and I won't bother creating a separate topic on this because I know what everyone's going to say in it. Rather predictable, really), at least there's the possibility of you finding it an interesting concept, right? I mean, if nothing else, you can see this as a parody of the confusion people have with Klonoa when they mistakenly think of him being from Sonic.
Well, before the Arabian guy started his Klonoa Fan Club, on the temporary forum before that, people didn't agree about Klonoa being unclothed like Sonic, but at least they found it interesting. (Didn't ask about Super Klonoa at the time because I didn't come up with it yet) So much that most, or some, of the artists there jumped into my request topic and drew him. Just him (the Lunatean version of him, that is) with the hat, gloves, shoes, and collar. No shirt or shorts on.
So, whatever your stance on the subject is, at least it would be a good break of the norm and do your own take on this what-if scenario, right? Therefore, this topic will be used for all Sonic-styled Klonoa artwork as well as Super Klonoa. So feel free to participate whenever.
I'll start this off with a few noteworthy pieces (links only, btw).
http://sonicsketch.deviantart.com/art/Switched-Hats-397987857 (MLP crossover) - This artist normally does Klonoa in his blue outfit, and sometimes in Sonic style. For this one, she doesn't know what drove her to do him unclothed in this. Its probably because clothes are a rare sight in the world of Equestria.
http://jiraachistar.deviantart.com/art/Night-Dreamer-98812486 - Old pic. Done in secret until I found out about it. The artist used to draw a lot of Sonic/Klonoa crossovers, including a request of mine where Sonic had convinced him to try living the life without the clothes:
http://jiraachistar.deviantart.com/art/Free-Like-the-Wind-XD-111608801http://kththeartist.deviantart.com/art/LS-RQ-Just-laying-around-304789392 - Ever wanted to go outside and rest in the breezy outdoors with little clothing as possible? Klonoa did, and it felt relaxing. lol XD
Onto Super Klonoa now...
http://super-rainbow-dash-1.deviantart.com/art/Super-Klonoa-391217145 - My common avatar, used wherever I go on the Net. This was done by an El Salvadorean artist whose artwork looked like it could rival both SEGA and Namco's official artwork. If you've seen this on Google:
http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v45/supersonicx/klonoa____by_foxy_the_wolf-d5bp47m_zps3470fccc.png~original Then know that it was done by the same artist, who sadly left DA for the second time. =/
http://sonicsketch.deviantart.com/art/Super-Klonoa-372387493 - The ani gif posted earlier. One of the reasons why I preferred Klonoa in Sonic style is because of his fur as it goes all white. Seeing him with clothes on would just reduce the awesomeness of it, IMO.
http://bloomphantom.deviantart.com/art/PC-Super-Klonoa-308606328 - Super Klonoa with the Wind Sword. Rather than be a cliched fist brawler, why not be a Jedi Master of Light? Goes to show you that just because Klonoa has a Super form doesn't mean he has to fight like a Super Saiyan.
http://murasaki-no-kitsune.deviantart.com/art/Super-Klonoa-Request-464055288 - Done just last night. Being unclothed, btw, makes him look more natural when it comes to dynamic poses like this.
So, again, whatever your stance is on this, I hope you'll at least find it interesting. Again, feel free to do your own pic of him, especially if you're a good artist like AlphaRed is here.
And with that, I'm out.
