...and he really don't care.
I haven't really too much to say about this one. Except for that my scanner really hates me some days. It kinda washed out some of the colors. Oh well.

This kind of stuff I consider more along the lines of "fanart" verses fantasy. But I guess I do blend enough of the fantasy realm into them. Well, I try at least. *laughs* Thanks again.

hahah, very relaxed style. I am already a fan of your art, but this cute pic takes the cake. I'm an aspiring Sonic artist myself, but YOU...you definitely push the limits. Of art, that is. I love the aspect of taking a cartoon character and making them look...almost REAL, I suppose. May I add you to my watchlist?

Uh... no. I don't mind at all.
*laughs* Haha! Would you believe me if I told you that this drawing was actually just a experiment/prototype sort of doodle? Sometimes I've been tempted to redo it just for the heck of it... just to see if I could improve it.

Aww, it's great to see Shadow looking so relaxed for a change. It's kind of a shame we don't see him like this very often in the games- or any other Sonic character for that matter. Nothing like crashin out after a hard day of saving the world from invading aliens, eh Shadow?
I like this kind of design for the Sonic characters. They seem more realistic somehow.

Thankyou. I used to own a pet hedgehog and I have this thing about applying a bit of "realism" to my cartoons. It's my goal to push as much of their "real" counterparts into their design as I can, and yet leave enough of the original character(s) behind so that the general populace can still interpret them for who they are.

I likes this. Sometimes I swear the official characterization of Shadow doesn't even have "relax" in his vocabulary, his spirit all tied up in angst and hurt...
Kinda sad, really.

My fanfic version of Shaz is a lot lighter in heart and personality than the "official" one. At first he may seem rough to one of my readers/RPers, but then they realize that Shaz has personality like a cherry Tootsie-Pop; he's hard 'n sour on the outside, but he's warm, squishy, 'n sweet on the inside. He started out just as dark as his original counter part is, and he had a rough road to travel in order to get out of that pit of "angst and hurt," but he escaped it,and is often very glad that he did. Don't be deceived though, he can still be quite the "quill in the arse" if someone ticks him off.
I think one reason I write/draw him that way is because I hope to somehow squeak out an underlying message. That being, "No matter what you've done or how bad you think you are, it IS possible to turn back to the Light." All one has to do is turn around, and God is right there... by his/her side. "If God is for us, then who can stand against us?" ...and once one realizes that, things will always seem brighter... and that would put a smile on anybody's face. Even moody old hedgehogs.

That is my goal actually with the "Sonic" style characters. I want to push as much of their "real" counterparts in them as far as I can, and yet leave enough of their original designs behind that the general populice can still recognize them for who they are. I won't alway draw/push them like I did for "Stranded" or "Being Lazy." They will most likely usually be drawn like they are in "Zoom'n" or "Thereoms." If that made any sense...

A truely lovely design that has nicely portrayed your potentials and gift for traditional art. The colour has worked amazingly which has giving a wonderful senes of life to the character.
You have really shown just what you are capable of and what you can sumon with your outstanding gift.
Keep it up.

Hehehe, I love his little spiky tufts! Nice use of white acrylic for the highlights, it really makes the texture of his fur/quills stand out ^_^

Yeah, I tried using greys and the paper for highlights, but all the grainy blues and the flat blacks were just not cooperating and making a mess of it all. I eventally had to dig out my tubes of gloss black and white paint to fix what the pencils and the turpentine couldn't. I'm kinda glad I did, 'cuz he turned out better than I originally planned. At first it was going to be a simple sketch with which to amuse myself and nothing more.
