Sonic the Hedgehog!

Sonic the Hedgehog was so great. The sense of speed is actually kind of soothing as you fluidly fly through the maze-like levels.  So much fun.
When I got to coloring on this one, I couldn't decide if I wanted to go with a more muted, limited palette or something closer to the actual game.  I ended up working on both simultaneously, figuring I'd eventually like one better.  But I still like both. So there you go.

Here's the more muted one.

'Starring Sonic and Miles 'Tails' Prower'

This is the game inspired one.

'Starring Sonic and Miles 'Tails' Prower' (Blue Alternate)

And here are some process sketches and things.
This is the initial thumbnail I decided to go with.

The ink drawing, warts and all.  This was a combination of Microns and a crow quill pen.

And a greyscale rendering to figure out the values before going into color.

And in other news, my Sixpoint 'Beer is Culture' entry made the top three!  You can check it out here. That means it will be printed on coasters and distributed to bars that serve Sixpoint. Super cool. Thanks to everyone who voted and helped out!!

And last but not least, there's free shipping in my Society6 store until May 12! There are prints, phone cases and other fun things available (*Offer excludes Framed Art Prints, Stretched Canvases and Throw Pillows with insert).  Follow the link here for the free shipping.

Alrighty, sorry for being so long winded. Cheers guys!
