Description
Oh boy, time for something a little different...I've noticed that I haven't done enough art for the earlier chapters in The Fallen Star. I also reckon I haven't done enough 'depressive' scenes...
This scene happens after Bolden 3 was destroyed. At first, Ace doesn't believe it and he is furious about it. He leaves the Sonic 7 on his own ship, to go see for himself and once he comes across Bolden 3's coordinates... well; you can see his reaction right there. He notices the planet is completely destroyed, with some of the fragments floating about in space.
Those of you who don't already know, well Bolden 3 was his 'foster' home planet (like Veldin is to Ratchet). This really tears him up and is when he decides to disappear from the galaxy... into the unknown - eventually getting caught by Gleeman Vox's forces.
And before anyone here goes off about Ace being 'out of character', well it was said in his description on his official back-story that "Ace fell into a deep sadness and disapeared from the galaxy. Later he found Gleeman Vox and the rest is DreadZone history"
So there
and heβs younger here anyway (and on his own), and this is before he turned a lot more nasty and hard-headed.***
OK now onto this drawing, it was a great practise for me I have to say. I did the perspective here 100% from my OWN mind. No references and why? because I could not find any for this angle I imagined, so I tried my best to do it by myself.
I used ruler lines to help and I think I pulled it off pretty well; it isn't perfect but it is better than any other perspective scene I've done so far. But if you really, REALLY want to, you can point out anything.
And it is also very rare for me to draw 'tears' in my art too; even in OB there was no teary eyed/crying scenes, besides Cortex I believe, lol. So they were kind of tricky to paint here, but I did enjoy working with this piece, even if it isn't the best I've done.
But yeah, hope you guys like it anyways. I want to give him a hug :C
I'm gonna do a more light hearted and funny scene next

gosh you're so good at perspective T___T
also, would you do speed paintings ?

Really? I didn't think I was that good... although I am trying to get better as I go. Especially if I try to from scratch (which I did for this one, but it was years ago XD)
And a new speedpaint video... funny you mention that. On Skype tonight, another friend of mine asked if I could do a new one

I'd love to see a video where you do sketch + lineart + colouring ^^
With an awesome perspective woaaah
Seriously yes, your perspectives are awesome xD

Wow, I must say you did a fantastic job with this piece, the dramatic angle along with the gloomy lighting and colors as well as Ace's expression really capture the emotion of the situation, you can't help but to symphatize with him here.
Great job with this one!

EMOTIONS.
I can feel them!
AND
I like them.
That poor furry mug.
I really enjoy your "screenshot" pictures. They're so dynamic!

Poor guy ;_: I wanted to do a depressed screenshot with Ace too, maybe after the planet gets destroyed and he's thinking of it. He looks so devastated in this picture and that he realizes what just happened. If that happened to earth I'd be horrified too. I feel for him.
But anyways good work on this. I like the darker colors here, really sets the somber sad mood very well here.

Yeah, I waited quite a long time to draw this scene. I wanted to ages ago when I started my story for him but I couldn't sketch it right. But yeah, it was sad; especially since he had no chance to save the planet too and ends up getting blamed for it.
And that's fine with the comments

Poor guy, it's bad enough losing someone you care about--but the whole planet would make you feel like you lost a lot. :<

The background is a complete kick-ass and looks like real space. 8O
This is so sad. D:
BTW, nice work again. ^_^

Maybe that's why he's out to get revenge to those who destroyed his planet.

you did an awesome work with the perspective, perspective make things looks so amazing 
you drew his face very well. his eyes are well drawn
and i really love the space. it looks ... wow! i like this drawing. keep up the awesome work!
π: 0 β©: 0
Oh my! This is really beautiful!
I also feel sorry for Ace, seeing that his home planet got into a disatruous predicament. However, this is really something different and unique from other screenshots! I never saw tears cascading down from Ace either, so this totally emotional.
Fascinating work as always! I love the shade and lighting effects of the darkness here!

yeah, it was quite a change to draw Ace looking so sad; but I wanted to draw it for a long time after starting the story and writing this scene... just couldnt get it right back then but Im glad I could now ^^
But yeah thanks so much

Anytime dear!

This is just utterly beautiful! I will definantly fave this. Usually I don't fave arts, I only fave those who actually deserve it. The faves aid me in terms of inspiration. This is just awesome. I have been observing your work earlier but this is definantly one of your best work. Keep up the great job, I will watch you.

Wow! Well thanks a lot, I wasn't sure how good this piece would turn out when I worked on it but I'm glad it came out as it did; was a nice bit of experience for me since it's different to other scenes I have drawn so far.

Good lighting, it helps fit the mood and adds to the expression on his face. Good job!

I love the way you drew his face. This work is awesome

whoa nicely done Tara love the stars background and the colouring
π: 0 β©: 0
aww poor Ace!
Yeah I remeber reading that part, poor guy!
Anyways great job I love his expresstion and the coloring!
π: 0 β©: 0
Well I can't really blame Ace for acting like this at all. Everyone would be devastated if their hometown (or home planet for fictional characters were blown to bits).
But wow, really capturing stuff here Tara. I really love the perspective and tone. It definitely fits well with Ace's depressing mood here. The maybe a bit hard to see though in some areas, but you got the worm's eye view spot on. Well done!

Nice to see another side of Ace. I can totally feel his pain T__T
This perspective here was really well done- It's really hard to pull off sometimes but you really made it work here. Nice work yet again

And the pic is really nice

In space, no one can see how sad your hair can truly be.
I'm saying that because it's so upsetting to Ace even his hair is sad and droopy - actually the first thing I noticed, how floppy his hair looks
Back onto more serious terms, I like the perspective though his middle insignia could have done being tilted a little more to the left however it's barely noticable. His tattoo looks so shiny and I steal shiny things. Can I run away with his arm? Think he'd notice?
I can't think of anything to say about the other bits you've posted so I'll just say fav spam imminent
π: 0 β©: 1
Haha I was waiting for someone to say that
Well yeah, his hair is also shorter at this age XD but yeah, it just suits him to make his hair droop down a bit when he's sad; even in the game when he gets defeated and tells Ratchet to watch out for Vox, his hair is down

very cool 030 I love the stars in the background too, looks beautiful 8D

So intense! I love it :3 The shading really helps too <3

NOT THE BEST ONE YOU'VE DONE!?!

Well, I think that you captured the mood perfectly and he still is in character. I remember reading that official bio when I bought the Dreadzone Official Game Guide for references. So yeah, you definitely didn't stray away from his character. It still is pretty sad to see him like that... I can only imagine how he must have felt seeing his own planet destroyed...
Really nice usage of colors here and I just love the background. Awesome screenshot Tara.
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah, exactly my thoughts heh
But yeah thanks a lot. I think my art has really lacked emotions like this so it is nice to try something out like this for a change
π: 0 β©: 0
Wow, just wow! This is... to amazing, theirs no words to describe how emotional this piece is. Stuff like this is rare from you, but you pulled it off well.
I can see the tense, devastated look on his face, the sad emotion gleaming from his eyes. You can just feel the pain he's in, I mean who else wouldn't react like that if their home planet was destroyed. All those memories, all the friends, towns
This picture does Ace great justice, it make him seem more humane, not just a hot headed jerk. It's emotional, thats all I can say, and you captured that well.
I love the coloring in here, the depth and dark tones adds to the feeling, and the sky in the background is amazing. Feels like your in space with Ace (no rhyme intended XD)
Anyways wonderful work again, Leanne. I love every bit of this drawing, from the perspective to the emotion.
π: 0 β©: 1
yeah it is really rare for me to draw these sorts of emotions in my art, especially since the OB series didn't have much of it when I look back 
But really though, thanks a lot for the great comment ^^ I appreciate it a lot.

a Pretty sad scene here you did it very well I like it.
poor Ace he defenitely needs a hug right now! *hugs* "I'm so sorry for your planet dude :'C"
π: 0 β©: 1
I'd be sad if Earth got blown up too and I saw it afterwards
lol well yeah, thanks a lot ^^

in deed me too
and you're welcome

Great perspective. But it's a good thing I had a full view look of this piece. From the thumbnail it looked like he was all tough and emboldened and ready to battle.
But upon closer observation I see that he is actually disheartened and crying. You know even the toughest of guys can shed tears. But I think it would have to be something pretty extraordinary to have me make Sin cry. XD
Witnessing the death of anyone's home planet could drive a person to this kind of sadness. (Though Princess Lea took it quite well in Star Wars.)
I love the lighting too. Rendering is clearly becoming your fortee'.
Another brilliant piece as usual. Keep drawing. ^__^

yeah, I noticed that the resized version doesnt show the emotions right, doh >.< ! But it is a good thing I always provide a large size download (even then it's only 25% of the original size, lol)
Anyhow, thanks a lot though. I appreciate the kind words ^^ I enjoy drawing screenshot scenes.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah. Downside of larger images though is that mistakes are more glaring. >.<]
Still you have done really well. You're very welcome. :-3

Well it would suck to see something so...sad
Love the effect of darkness and feeling in this pic, also space is a big place and at that time he would feel so alone aswell. O.O
