Description Six months later. I am finished with this image. (The WIP is here for those who wish to refresh their memories.)

RUN, SONIC. RUN TO YOUR UNDETERMINED GOAL. There is so much wrong with this image, but I can't fix any of the blunders I've made. Mostly lighting practice. Not sure if I failed or not.

If you can figure out wtf is happening, good on you!

99% micron on paper that I will never use for ink-work again. 1% pencil sketch. The rest is improv because I like torturing myself like that.

Crits are cool and appreciated.

Awesome use of cross hatching and negative space.

I still would like a print of this. Or even to buy the original if I can afford it and you ever decide to sell.

I'm not sure this would make a very good print, as the original is quite small, only 7 inches x 8 inches. I could take a look at some print shops and see what kind of rates they may have, though, if you think that a print of that size might be worth it. As for the original... it's unlikely that I would sell it as another drawing is in the margin of this sheet, and with the amount of time invested in both drawings (many, many hours), it would be extremely unlikely that I would part with it for anything less than $100 or higher.

Reading the artists comments, you sound like an absolute and utter masochist....

Haha, there was some sarcasm in there, but in total honesty - on a certain level I think you have to be a masochist to be an artist. Art doesn't exist without some metaphorical (or literal) pain on the behalf of the person creating it. But that's just me perhaps!

Indeed, the term 'tortured artist' is clichΓ© but often true. My relationship with my own art is very much a love-hate one.

The only thing I can find appropriate to say is JESUS CHRIST.
This is so incredible, I can't get over it. All those etched-looking marks and the perspective on Sonic's entire body is just whooooaa.
No critiques here.

Awww, thank you! For all its weirdness, it is one of the better things I've made this year. Cross-hatching ftw!
