Description
Big the Cat!?! OMG! Yeah I knowAww... I wanted to put those "~" in the title instead of what you currently see in the title =/
Bah.. *Puts on "BIG fishes at Emerald Coast"* ^_^
-About the Pic
Okay where to begin.. I'll just spot the obvious
This is Big the Cat in the secret area of Emerald Coast from Sonic Adventure (You know... That underwater cave that looks so cool the first time you visit it ^^) He just caught a fish and will start singing soon ^^ (Anyone familiar with japanese can correct my title because I'm not sure if it's written like this
This pic has been sitting in my sketch book for ages and I finally decided to color it
-Details about the pic
Those who looks in details might notice that something irregular in the shading. I didn't work only on this pic from since I first started it and while I was coloring some other pics, I developped a new technique and used it in the middle it.
The fish was quickly shaded/inked. I was too lazy to put some details on it..
Layer Total: 64 (Background) + 41 (Big the Cat) + 20 (Fish) = ... 125 Layers!??! *faints*
Original Dimensions: 2405x3076 (Background), 2442x1787 (Big the Cat), 2322x1650 (Fish)
Original Size: 240MB (Background), 70.9MB (Big the Cat), 13.4MB (Fish)
.. Gosh and I thought the 67 Layers in "Breaking through the Ocean Palace was insane and that I'll never go over it x.x)
Oh and I know I'm working on pic that are a little too big.. But I like big pictures ^^ .. It slows the computer a little... But what I'm scared is that it won't save/open (Takes 1 minute to save o.o)
-Credits
They have to be somewhere, no?! ^^
Big the Cat is the property of Sonic Team /SEGA
Art is mine ^^
(Out of nowhere note: Sonic Team changed their layout btw
[EDIT: Changed image resolution from width 1100 to 1280.. AGH! I forgot to put in Kaeru-Kun!! (Froggy) x.x]
[EDIT2: Typo correction and weird word switch correction]

"Ooh, I got a fish!"
Wow! Cool pic of Big!
I love the action in this. He looks really cute here!
I like how you gave him toes with claws, too. It's much better than the way they designed him with toeless feet under those sandals... laziness, if you ask me!
Even my version, he has a least three toes.

It is lazy but I gotten used to it. I think giving them human feet is weirder.
It probably doesn't matter to Sonic Team anyway because the characters keep their shoes on at nearly all times anyway.

Yeah, human feet on anthros is weird too. I give him animal feet.

So much so I actually prefer the blob feet over giving them human feet.
Though they look best to me with the 3 toed design.

Rather than play the BR card, I'd like to point out that the grass looks *really* flat and there isn't a shadow of where Big's sitting at (compared to the shrub beside him). It makes the pic look really... odd.

sonicolas In reply to dpsiko [2004-10-04 23:20:48 +0000 UTC]
Heh, good point ^^
I think that shows how lazy I am with grass
Thanks for pointing that out. Everyone needs someone like you to point those

That's like.. 400 MB!! O_O What resolution do you CG at anyway??? It's a nice result though, cept that I'd be afraid to view it in all its size >.> *cough56kcough*
Anywho, nice stuff as usual, Nikku-san. All that hard work paid off

Yes, I was thinking of that at some point >.> but then again I should probably be studying during my breaks, don't you think? (Two exams next week.. noooooo!)

I've noticed that Big uses shoes, not sandals. Like it really matters. Big is cool anyway.

Hmmm, fortunately for you, I'm fluent in Japanese x3
Muha. xD
With the way you wrote it, it would directly translate to: "It's shaved! It's shaved!" as in shaving you're mustache xD
I assume in this case you said you were able to catch the fish, so it would be:
"-Tsure ta tsure ta-" which means you were able to get a fish x3
Hope I was useful...
