Description This 10 minute sketch was completed when I was holidaying at Kalbarri with my friends North of Perth. If you would like to see a couple of photos of taken of me in the drawing process go here: [link] ^^

At that time I was thinking: "Wow... The fate of the world Sonic is going to be adventuring in lies in his hands... Could he really be a threat to humanity without us knowing his true origins?"

I had this gut feeling that Sonic is not revealing something that he should... /= ) But then if that's the case it's not Sonic the Hedgehog himself at all ne?

Well I believe that these three hedgehogs hold the key to salvation of the kingdom in the City of Water that will eventually turn ablaze into the City of Fire. You can picture Blaze the Cat in this scene now can't you?

Anyway I hope you'll enjoy this sketch while I work on another coloured drawing tomorrow Saturday.

Oh and you know what? I reckon Sonic and the hedgehogs (in terms of their design and such) are getting sexier by the installment. The way they made him slender and slick defines Sonic Team's mission statement to the fans that they want to give that theme of 'coolness' and 'fast' on their latest game. Don't you think so? = ) Anyway Sonic's super cool and so are Shadow and Silver. (Ever wondered who gets the privilege of naming and designing these characters? Sigh... I wish I was one of that person who had the honour of desiging a character that will soon in future become so well known...! = ) ^^)

TEN MINUTES OMG! I couldn't do such lineart if I had all the time in the world,let alone shade it!

"I reckon Sonic and the hedgehogs (in terms of their design and such) are getting sexier by the installment." You really think? personally I hate the way the characters look in STH 06, I know this was made back when everyone was excited about the game, but I'm still surprised.
They really look teh smex in this pic though.

anemixdacat93 [2006-12-03 05:22:33 +0000 UTC]

Geez, I can't believe I faved this and didn't even comment on it!! Me bad person... Anyways, what I have to say is this: Sonic, Silver and Shadow's expressions are absolutely superb. Fits each char perfectly. Then, the shading is just, mindbreaking, although it's just a sketch. And last: I just CAN'T believe you did all this in just 10 min.!! If I made a sketch in that amount of time, it would look all crappy and stuff. This is really good stuff!! Keep up the good work!
PS: You should work for Sonic Team!!

Well done Darkspeeds this is very well drawn ^^ esp for 10 mins I hope that my characters have a future, here is a group pic of the first project I made, [link] and that's only a FEW of them plus, my Shadow Team Community dose let people create characters and they may just make it to the future! Here's the journal link >>> [link] Just thought you might be interrested

Great pic of the Hedgeies <3 They look really cool in this ^^

playstation14 [2006-07-23 03:05:02 +0000 UTC]

XD
Both Sonic and Silver looks determined, and Shadow's in the corner looking bored out of his mind
HOW CAN YOU DRAW HANDS SO WELL?!?!?!?!
sigh...I sort of wish Sonic Team made Sonic and co. a bit less anthromorphicy (that a real word?), with actual paws instead of hands......that way I could actually draw it -_-
