Emerald Defender

You stand before Knuckles the Echidna, his determined gaze locked onto yours, feeling the raw power emanating from him. The background swirls with chaotic energy, a mix of deep reds and purples, creating an intense atmosphere. The crosshatching technique emphasizes the rugged texture of his fur and the weight of his presence. You can almost hear the rustle of his quills and the pounding of his heart, ready to protect what he holds dear.
