That’s an interesting difference that I haven’t noticed was so significant!
Knuckles rarely is shown with his full mono-eye open but it has appeared like in the shot above. He tends to keep his brows down even when expressing non-aggressive emotions. Part of the design like you said.
I like pushing expressions so you see it open more often than not on my renditions. It’s really hard to make it look good down when expressions range past “annoyed”, “really annoyed”, “really REALLY annoyed”, and “JOO-TOOK-MAH-EMERAHD!!!”

look at this behind the scenes shit… you can really see how much my own style bleeds through when i don’t look at references pffft
thankfully like 70 pages in i started to see the benefits of warm-ups/using lots of references. i tried to stay away from them in the beginning of BPJ, which in retrospect was pretty foolish! my goal is to LITERALLY EMULATE THE SHOW’S STYLE, so why rely on my own garbage memory when there are FOUR ENTIRE SEASONS WORTH OF REFERENCES?
here’s an example of earlier pages to show you what i mean
like whatever. it’s fine. it’s lance. but you can clearly tell something’s off. I CAN CLEARLY TELL SOMETHING’S OFF.
compare it to this
DOESN’T IT LOOK SO MUCH MORE LANCEY? it’s still not perfect (see: the nose especially) but it’s significantly better!
there are a bunch of pages i’m going to rework down the road, and it’s so frustrating because SOME OF THE SHOTS WERE SO COOL!! but they would look even cooler… if they looked More Canon
i even looked up a reference for a galra sentry but not LANCE. hubris…
^^ good lance and lil keith
^^^^ REAL GOOD LANCE OH MAN
^^^ & then Bargain Lance™ My Brain Created By Itself
sometimes your brain just needs a little bit of help remembering what shit looks like ok. REFERENCES ARE GREAT FOR THAT
anyway i’ve got like 300 bpj psds and sais i’ll be taking a look through soon, so if i come across anything neat i’ll post them!
lol this is how I feel about my old art vs my art now
References are a blessing
