Description There might be someone who had seen this pic, I think.
Because I posted it to Sonic Central long before.

After I send it to Sonic Central, I needed to do reinstall my computer, and I took a backup of my picture folder but failed.
At that time, I lost mostly pic files, that included the original size and psd file of this Sonic pic.

Nowadays, when I did data reduction, found mail backup on CD-ROM and that has the mail which I sent to Sonic Central with the pic file.

That is original size with the logo.
I already have same pic on my website, but that is smaller size without the logo.
I decide to submit this pic to DA.
I hope you like it

Tools: Photshop7, Illustrator8
(These are same tools as Uekawa drawing Sonic art)

Its always hard to think of a pose that Sonic Team could come up with...but i think you have pretty much cracked it! *highfive* Sonic poses are the most unusual in the world, and with your imagination i think you could even work for Sonic Team, i mean hey, you live nearer to them than most of us! Super authentic highlighting around the edges of his spines, really interesting to the eye! Its great how its your own style, but its still the Sonic Team style!

The hands, interesting positions, tricky to draw but you have mastered it beautifully, the shadows on his hand look spot on! But hmm, one his his bac spines in the background seems to be the wrong tone of blue but thats a small error, i wont make a big deal about it.

I love the soles of his sneakers here. Simplicity always works and has worked brilliantly in this image. Super smooth sneaker soles, JUST like the super smooth tyres of an F1 Racing Car that you'd see at Suzuka ^_^

The only let down to the picture is the background, it doesnt suit Sonic too well. Perhaps the chequered brown squares from Green Hill Zone could work with it better? Its totally up to you though remember!

Again, a remarkable peice of work. Yuji Naka himself would be proud of you! Im sorry i cant give you anything except a round of applause *claps*

Probably, his figure and shoes sole may make you feel strange impression.
It's old pic, I'd like to try drawing again, because it has someοΏ½@things I don't like.

This pice is very unique for Sonic art. Not only the stylish pose but the clearly visible soles of his shoes.

Ohh, this is such a nice rendition of the official style! It's so smooth and everything...this is incredible! *clap clap* Really great job on this ^^ Ahh, the most I am impressed with is the positioning of the feet and shoes...it is so complicated to draw shoes from such an angle. *waves*

Heh pretty original pose. He looks like a dog in that pose for some reason. His shoes and kinda wierd with the heels. Great work though, looks very Sega official. Kinda different from some of your other work.

manaita In reply to CPC [2004-07-15 00:43:30 +0000 UTC]

I don't remember why I drew his heels like this.
It is weird even for myself.
Perhaps I had very bored with drawing the lines on Illustrator, because it took over 3days.
That might be the reason I did sloppy work.

Your accuracy at Sonic Team style is vastly impressive

You perform the CG stlye and shading so well and smoothly, and the quills look just right too. Excellent pose here, I love his hands and shoes, and the multitoned background!

RileyTheHedgehog [2004-07-14 20:45:02 +0000 UTC]

Whoo, not bad. n.n Hm, I may sound like an idiot, but I think if Sonic's head was in front of his chest, the pose would better make sense. *is flamed* x.x;; But hey, that's IMO. Great job still of course!

Great SA style Sonic! A very interesting pose, now if Sonic had a neck I'd say his chest is offf but he doesn't The background is great, very simple and makes people focus on Sonic.

The positioning of his chest connecting to his head looks kinda odd and slightly unnatural, but then again he doesn't really have a neck so that's how it's supposed to be :3

Nice picture overall, I like your rendition of the Sonic Team colouring style ^_^

Thank you for the helpful comment
Sonic characters are deformed furry characters, so when we draw them this point is difficult for doing original rendition, I think.

And I'm not so good at expression of the proportion of a body.

Hm... you say this is an old pic? It's just amazing that your old pics where still excellent. Like Sonic here demonstrates.
The pose is worth all of my fan addiction. It's just... like Sonic. He has the face of a guy who doesn't want anybody messing with him.

What i like most of this pic is that you drew it in the same style of Sonic Team. It has the cool shadings, the soft side lighting, the wondefully thought shadows, and the expression of... Sonic! It is enough to say that the style you used was excellent.

The bg fits him quite nicely, if i say so.

I hope that your computer never gets damaged again, also. It would be a shame to lose all of your awesome art.
