Hi, just starting a new fanart thread, the old one got buried. I usually keep it traditional with pen and/or watercolors, unless I'm doing the rare animation.

You have put a lot of work into this piece and it has paid off! Great Work!!!

[RadicalLaRuby]

Thank you. Still alot of skill sharpening to do, but I'm happy with most of my work nowadays.

35th anniversary art I made in September. It was actually my first game I ever got on my 5th Bday. Posca Pens are very good for the sky and clouds, I was afraid they would leave streaks. The ground and popsicle mountains are color pencil, for about 7-8 hours. Needless to say, I will never torture my hand like that with color pencils again. The overall piece was about 12 hours.

 

 

Oh wait, I forgot to color Luigi's L. Ha. I'll fix that in a bit.

Vengeance is a Nightmare. Throw it all Away.

 

It might freeze him, but it's the thought that counts. Even Chaos deserves a Christmas.

The Mario Bros drawing is classic!

The Shadow drawing with Got Ring? in the background was cool!

The Chaos drawing was just so cute and touching!

Thank You! For these amazing pieces well done again!

Thank you, never saw this comment until now for some reason. This series is my main inspiration for coloring.

I've been on and off with this one, for about 2 years and 3 months, hence the time. Also, might have subconsciously mimicked a Sonic scroll on my wall, I didn't realize how familiar that pose looked until much later lol

The sky was done in sharpie. The water and some city lights were in Posca Paint Pen. I'm surprised how seamless it was, and the blacks don't clash too much. Anything else is Chameleon Pens. It's a bit inconsistent, but I also didn't want to clutter the background and lose Tails, so I cut back on it. But man, staring at the pixels for so long...I never realized just how much they put into the presentation of these games, especially with the illusion of flickering lights.

I just want to say how cute that Chaos pic is. Makes me kind of wish it got a redemption arc of some kind after all the fan content I've seen playing up its sympathetic side.

Slight tangent, but I just wanted to share off one of my main characters from my comic real quick. His name is Raze. I'm just happy I finally got a design I like after so many years on and off it. I've been recently trying to shift to a slightly more anatomical approach with the designs.

The first form is a tad bright, I will tweak the color. The second form would work well in darker backdrops. I have a chapter released, but I did not like the dialogue and flow of action, so I'm rewriting it.

I wish that as well, especially with how prominent his figure was throughout the Adventure days. Sonic Battle made me think he was gonna have a much bigger role in helping Emerl.

Your art is incredibly good. I really love watercolors and you do an excellent job with them. The lineart is also great and I love that you make tributes to so many different games.

I especially love the Shadow piece you've done! The choice of colours you've made on the lineart of his hands is great, really adds to the ethereal glow when using his powers, and the smoke by his shoes too. And the Chaos with the Chao in the snow is adorable and so sweet, great job!

Thanks, with the hand glows I tried to reference chaos control and chaos blast, and I'm a huge fan of his fighting style from Sonic Battle (wish they'd do that again).

Was testing out some pens and got carried away. Minor symmetrical issues aside, I like how it came out.
