_______________________________________________


as for this poster, it turned out... way better than I could've hoped!  I'm SO proud of it.  all the characters turned out WAY better than I was expecting.  I absolutely love them all.  and all the effects came together really well!  it all worked in my head but I wasn't sure it'd work on paper

originally I was gonna try to emulate a few elements from two movie posters I was referencing, but it wasn't working out.  I drew 4 versions before I got to this one.  and the composition in this one just popped into my head by chance.  I'm really glad I was able to make a poster for my story with a totally original composition!

another thing about this is I worked in CMYK mode, since I wanna print a poster for myself.  I was really nervous that I wouldn't be able to get my normal vivd colors with CMYK.  the purples and blues were hard to get at a saturation I wanted, but everything else was way easier than I thought!

overall, I'm so happy with this and glad I did it!

Wow! I really am amazed and inspired by this poster drawing of your fanfic, with Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy and Mighty! I love it where Sonic is about to get that emerald, and where the pixels appear at the bottom!

And so terrific with the poses and expressions that you gave them too!

Such beautiful and outstanding job that you have done, dude!

Do you mind if I base my Sonic Mania mod off of this story?

rontufox In reply to TimeGazingKitsunes [2019-05-26 14:54:23 +0000 UTC]

thanks for asking, Asher!  I'm fine with people creating things inspired by or based off this story, as long as they say so somewhere in the work

that said, this story has 34 chapters, and I'm only posting 1 chapter per week.  that means the last chapter won't be posted until January.  that might be a long time for you to wait if you're wanting to know all the story elements before you do your mod!  but if you don't mind not knowing all the story elements, and just wanna use what's here now as inspiration, that's fine

Awesome! i was a bit scared when i saw my name and then i realised, oh wait. it's on my profile. 

I have some time, because I'm 1. redoing the mod AGAIN because of this idea, I've redone it 6 times now.
AND it's on hiatus, and we're just gathering ideas right now. Development for the mod besides sprites and music will start in August.

The mod is called Sonic Rift, since Sonic Glitch Rift is too long, so for Plus, it's Sonic Rift Glitched.

sounds cool!  I hope you (and the others working on it, it sounds like) have fun!

I know how it is, redoing things over and over again as an artist   I hope you eventually end up with a creation you're proud of!

he's not in my fic.  I started thinking of this story in 2011 and started writing in 2015.  I was nervous of even putting Mighty in it, cuz he was pretty unknown to most all Sonic fans back then.  then Sonic Mania happened and catapulted their popularity, which is awesome, but I can't add a new character in just like that

This looks hella good rontu, Poster tier!
Love the lighting and hues! The diverse expressions sells it for me, love how it gives each character their personality flair!

Oh boi, also releasing Sonic Glitch Rift too! Let's go!

thanks so much NGZ!!   I really wanted to make a poster-worthy illustration, and wasn't sure I could do it.  but I did!!  I'm so happy with how it turned out

and yeah!  I really wanted to encapsulate their personalities in this (or at least my interpretation of their personalities), rather than have them all the typical "determined" look. I'm glad you like it!

thanks so much!

I'm not really a huge Sonic fan, but I always love seeing your fanart! It has such a beautiful, classic feel to it :')
I think you've really captured unique personalities for each of them here, and colors look fantastic!

gosh, thank you so much... I love the classic games so much and I'm always so happy to be able to draw stuff from em

I really wanted to encapsulate their personalities in this (or at least my interpretation of their personalities), rather than have them all the typical "determined" look as in most posters.  thank you so much!

in all honesty I referenced a ton of other people's fanart and screenshots of Sonic Mania Adventures for the hands.  I'm completely incapable of drawing them on my own!

Great work! I'd never have guessed the colors weren't quite as saturated as normal (I also always crank the saturation as much as possible, ha ha)

rontufox In reply to gsilverfish [2019-05-11 02:02:35 +0000 UTC]

the purples really killed me here!  I wanted needle-y, electric purples, but couldn't reach em in CMYK.  had to go for red-violets and pinks instead!

thank you!  saturation is beautiful LOLOL
