Erm...hello everyone. *wave*

My Master has given me the green light to create an expansion of this picture I made.
Posted Image

Now some of you may have already seen it and maybe spotted part of it in my sig. This is my plan, and I hope all you fellow Sonic fans out there can help with some much needed input.

I hope to increase the cast of characters on this picture, that currently has 100 different game characters featured in it. Into something like 200, now that is just a rough round up number as some may need to be cut or added depending on space available. This new pic will be added to that old one into a massive allstar masterpiece. Well, that's the plan anyway...

I created special rules for the cast of characters.
Edit: The rules have been axed! For the expansion I hope to go full range, baby!! XD

Well, I have a number of characters I'd like to include and I would like you guys to help fill in the rest of the spaces. They can be from any media, game, comic, cartoon. As long as they are not transformations or duplicates then I'll be happy to accept them.

List of Characters on the first picture. (You don't need to mention these.)
Spoiler


Edit: I moved the lists into spoiler tabs to shorten the post.

I hope to have the picture done as a type of New Year celebration thing, so don't expect it to be completed for a while.

Any input at all would be really appreciated. Many thanks everyone, I hope somebody replies. ^^;

Dude... duuuuuude...! :blink:

Here because I replied to your Emerl/G-merl topic and clicked the link, and you've got quite the comprehensive list already! The only one I can think of who'd be worth including (if only for his unique visual style) is Wes Weasley, from The Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog... given somebody cosplayed him at Summer of Sonic, and everybody cheered, I'd say he's worth noting!

But... *gazes at picture again*... blimey, you've even got Caliburn stuck in the bottom-right, that's incredible detail!

Will definitely be watching this space! Best of luck! :)

Goodie, a reply. *boogie* Thanks Glenn. :D

A cosplaying Wes Weasley!? :blink: Aww I wish I could've seen that! :D
It's good that you suggest a recurring AoStH cast member as I can hardly remember any of them. :rolleyes: Now, what was his catchphrase again? ...How are ya, how are ya, how are ya! heehee! lol

Hmm...I might regret this later but...

Ah, screw it! The rules I was using? There axed!! Gone!! Kaput!! "If somethings worth doing, then it's worth over doing." As a Mythbuster would say. The only reason I made the rules to begin with is becouse the original picture had a deadline. But I'm working in my own terms now! Heheh.

The biggest problem I think I have is working out who would be the best choises from the cartoons and comics to appear in the picture. Everyone can't be in it, and I can't be bothered to draw everybody who had a line of dialogue once, or appeared in the background from those medias. But it's mostly the Archie comics, since I've never actually read any of them. I don't even think you can find them in shops where I live.

For Fleetway, you can use Tekno, Porker Lewis and Johnny Lightfoot. And maybe Super Sonic (he was separated from Sonic for a while).

There were a few more recurring characters, but none were as memorable or as iconic, really, so I'd go with him, definitely!

True, that. I don't think you need rules to have common sense about such a project. :)

Besides, I'll be honest and say that my first thought when I came to this topic earlier was "Hmm... was just playing Sonic Chronicles, and rescued Timmy from the mine... what about Timmy?" and that was immediately followed by "You're an idiot, don't kill the man!" I'm certain you'll make the right choices!

Adamis is a genius for mentioning Fleetway, though. Might I perhaps add Shortfuse the Cybernik to the list?

I believe it to be important to include those who have been even the smallest of contributions to the series. To me, axed and glitched characters seem a bit 'out there' as they are even less important than those who've had one-liners or have been background fodder. As well, it is wasteful of your talents.


As for suggestions... I'll make some, as soon as I come up with some! :]



By God, I feel this to be one of the most epic undertakings I've ever seen...

Excellent choises. I may know nothing of Archie but I am very familier with fleetway. I still have my original collection of comics. And the Super Sonic separating story arc was one of my personal favourites. :D
Don't worry about asking for transformation or duplicate characters. I'm not using that rule for this addon project. In fact all the rules I used for the anniversary picture, I'm not using any more. Hmm, I might as well add them all to the list, with no rules to restrict me people will be expecting them. As well as the "spoiler" characters.

Ah, so what your saying is I should trust my own instincts. Or kill anyone dumb enough to get lost in a mine? lol I get ya...at least, I think I get ya. :P

Of course!! Shortfuse! *headslap* I forgot about him too. I'm starting to believe I need all the help I can get. Even though I used the Sonic News Network to help compile the first cast of characters. http://sonic.wikia.c...ic_News_Network

I hear what your saying, and it makes perfect sence. I think perhaps it's best if I remain a neutral party. I'll add anybody to the list, regardless of there role, as long as fans believe they should be there. After all, now that the no spoiler characters rule has been thrown out, every bone in my body is saying "Don't try to draw Metal Overlord!! He's too detailed and complicated, it's impossible!!!" But I think I should try. No...I want to try!! XD

Hmm, regarding the axed/glitched characters. Again, you make a good point. I've spoken to several people who have no idea who they are. Kinda like how 2 player Shadow Android (yellow Shadow.) was on the original picture. (roughly in the middle, behind Capt Whiskers, next to Erazor Djinn.)
About half had no idea who it was. But alternatively, the half that did were shocked and pleased to see him there. So I'm thinking...I'll do some poking around and see how popular these guys are, and if they have a huge following, then I will keep them in. If not, then I will just have to cut them out.
Although going with a popular opinion route is flawed, I should know, since I'm a fan of Big The Cat. We are a rare breed. XD

A couple of new stuff I should mention.
I'm updating the list on my original post whenever a new name is mentioned, so check back often, if you need a refresher.

It was joked about on the original, and I was very tempted to do it. So given how the end result of this expansion would look like. I'd like to request that someone, anyone, nominate one of the characters to be featured as a Wally/Waldo cosplayer. Not a complete cosplay, just the hat and glasses will be added...maybe the shirt. Even better if there's already a Sonic character that looks like him.
For anyone that doesn't know. Waldo (called Wally here in the UK.) is famous for being hidden in large pictures with lots of characters in them. Where you then have to find him. He's been in lots of books.
Here's a picture.
Attached File Character.Waldo.jpg   80.67K  2 downloads

Lastly, I added two new sections for the list.

Crossover Characters: ?

Honourable Mention, Important Sonic Community Members: ?


One person asked when looking at the original anniversary picture whether I had any plans to include crossover characters. Well I didn't, and I have no idea why. So I've included the option to do so. Anybody that has appearing with Sonic on a game can now be included.

The second one was an idea that just came to me. Adding important community members in fan character or human form. Although human forms will be in anime style as that is the only way I can draw a human. lol
Who has been some of the most inspiring, ground breaking members of the Sonic community?

AAUK and Dreadknux are obvious so if everyone here agrees, I'll add them now. But who else? I don't think I'm qualified to answer this question, since I turn up for a couple of months, then disappear for a couple more months, then repeat. So I'm sorta out of the loop in terms of the most awesome of community members. But I hope to change that. Yet if it was up to me, I would include anybody that was nice to me once. XD

That's awesome and sweet of you, but if you're going down the external human impact route, may I suggest you include Mr. Yuji Naka standing proudly somewhere near Sonic? Or perhaps other important members of Sonic's entire twenty year history, like Jun Senoue or Takashi Iizuka?

And I reckon, while I'm here, I might as well increase your wokload- how about adding Johnny and Whisker from Sonic Rush Advance Adventure?

Done, done and done. Better yet, if we're gonna add a co-creater of the series to the picture, then I reckon we should have the other one too. Naoto Oshima. ;)

So... YOU'RE drawing the entire thing? Hm, well, okay. Good luck with that.

Wait? What? I get a strange vibe from that responce. Are you saying I should make it a collaboration thing, becouse I have been thinking about it.

But I'm only worried about a couple of things:
1) Kamicciolo & DJ FLiGHTS/Silva Rymes are already doing (and just about finished.) something similar, and I don't want to step on there toes. http://board.sonicst...th-anny-collab/
2) The characters are gonna hafta be really close, to fit everyone in. That would mean a picture they worked so hard on, runs the risk of mostly being covered on the finished work.
3) With this new picture being added to my old one, it might look strange that some of the characters have been drawn/coloured in differantly. There's only two ways I can think of that could fix this. The first, I get sent sketches and colour them all in myself. But I wouldn't like stealing an aspect of drawing from someone else. Or the second, start a brand new picture that includes all the characters I've already drawn. This is also flawed becouse I would need ALOT of help if we did this. It would never make it to a new years deadline otherwise, although possibly a differant year. Plus rushing the first pic almost killed me.

And I reckon, while I'm here, I might as well increase your wokload- how about adding Johnny and Whisker from Sonic Rush Advance Adventure?


Ah, but alas. They where in the original pic and don't need to be included. Becouse there already a part of it. :P

The picture I linked to is pretty big and may take some time to load, so I'll add a smaller version here.

Anybody on this picture doesn't need to be mentioned. I probably should make a list of who is on this, instead of forcing everyone to randomly search and hope for the best.

Yeah, they probably would. Some characters were added last minute, and I didn't have time to think of an original pose, so some are based on official poses.

Ah, really? heh, so I like totally over reacted. XD No worries, nobody should envy me. It was my own stupid idea, yet I'm looking farword to the challenge. :P

Okay, to make things easier, I've added every character that I could possibly think of from the games. Transformation/Spoiler/Storybook/Classics all in. So only the Cartoon, Comic or real life community members need to be suggested.

When you say Mecha Knuckles are you thinking of a certain one? I have at least 2 that have appeared on the games,(Sonic R & Sonic Advance.) but I also know that there is one from fleetways Sonic The Comic and possibly several from the Archie comics, I'd have to look them up.

Ah, well then, have no fear. He's already in. ;) Tho he is most likely the hardest one to spot in the original picture. I'll give you a clue, part of him is visible behind the king of ghosts.

Holy crap that's one big fan art piece...! I really like the Adventure style art shading you're using there! In fact... I'd be very beneficial right now if I knew how to do that...

Aww, thanks fella. I first had the desire to draw the Adventure art style once I learned other fans where drawing it. So about 7 years later I finally mastered it. (more or less.)
All you really need to try the art style yourself is Photoshop and an excellently written tutorial like this one. http://www.idigitale...tyle/sonic.html


Okay, so after some thinking and researching, here's a bunch of new additions to the list for the expansion.

Wow, cool. That's a fun fact. :D Although I'll have to take your word for it, I'm horrible with numbers. ^^;
But I do remember being able to draw 3 to 5 characters a day when I was making the original. Yet that was only in sketch form, colouring with photoshop was far more time consuming.

There is something I'd like to point out. I'd hope everyone noticed the reference, but just in case...the title, "The Ultimate FanArt" has nothing to do with arrogance. It's an unwritten rule that all artist in whatever form they use, hate there own work the most, and that includes me. The names just a reference to Shadow as he is always saying something is "ultimate."

Shadow Quotes:

Ultimate victory! (When getting an 'A' rank)
It all starts with this...(holds up Chaos Emerald) A jewel containing the ultimate power...
(Before using Chaos Control) This is the ultimate!
This is the Ultimate Power! (2000 point combo)
I'll show you my ultimate power.


So, it suddenly occured to me that the comic and cartoon characters have been drawn in different styles depending on the artist who draws them. Rather than trying to copy how they would look in there own media, I figure it would be best if I just draw them in my own style. It would make them look natural with the rest of the cast.

To help with what I'm saying, here's a part of the image in sketch form, featuring Classic Knuckles, Sally Acorn, Manic The Hedgehog and Message Robot, Bokkun.

Poor Knuckles...he used to be such a jolly fellow, always laughing at Sonic falling, flying, crashing and splashing. Until the Doc betrayed him. Now he's just angry all the time...
