[EDIT (5-20-2011): NEWS FLASH! THIS PICTURE MADE IT INTO SONIC THE HEDGEHOG ISSUE 225!!!!! I slightly altered the comic version so the text was readable, included my real-name signature, and removed the watermark.] Here's the proof in the pudding! [link]
It amazes me how much attention this image still gets. We just hit 350 favorites tonight! (2-1-2013)
FAVORITES?!?! You gotta be KIDDING ME! THIS IS AMAZING!!! Thank you everyone! I really appreciate the support you've given my pictures!
[EDIT (6-23-2011): WOW! YOU GUYS ARE REALLY AWESOME! THIS REACHED 150 FAVES! AND ON SONIC'S 20TH ANNIVERSARY TOO!]
[EDIT (4-6-2011): WHOA! This picture has reached 100 Faves! Thank you everyone! ]
Whew... FINALLY. I finished the Chaotix picture.
This is the first time I've fully drawn either Vector, Charmy or Espio, much less all of them together. I have to say that this picture really blew even my own expectations away. I think it's the best picture I've ever drawn thus far.
Espio is joking, guys. (Probably the first joke anyone's ever heard out him. XD) He doesn't really mean any harm to Charmy. I couldn't just leave Espio in the picture looking all stone-faced and meditating.
Vector was the hardest to draw, because of the angle. He's also my absolute favorite character, next to Sonic.
Again, some of you might say, "HEY! THAT'S TOO GOOD! YOU TRACED THAT/YOU STOLE THAT! >( " I know it's hard to believe, but I drew this entire picture from scratch (with most of the background work done in Macromedia Fireworks MX 2004). If I have to prove it, I can post some pictures of my progress in my scraps later. (I have multiple files starting from the beginning)
I've watermarked the image again because I don't want to risk this being stolen. It's too well-drawn to risk my credit.
I tried my best to make it look like something out of Sonic X, but some of the items are higher in visual quality than what you would normally see in the cartoon. (Like the desk lamp)
As an in-joke, I gave each character a certain font to reflect their age/personality.
3 weeks of non-consecutive work (both my desktop and my laptop didn't work correctly.), adding up to approximately 2 weeks consecutive work without days where I didn't draw, and it's all come down to this. I think I might send this in to Archie Comics' Sonic-Grams if I get the chance. [EDIT!: I already have! I hope it''ll be in the Sonic-Grams section in about 6 or 7 months! ]
Anyways, enjoy the picture!
EDIT: Added some details, like the phone handset wire, and gave the watermark the proper font motif.
Edit: WHOO! We've reached 200 faves on this picture! I really appreciate this, guys! 8D
I'm hoping someday that my own Sonic fanfic will be made into a comic series of Archie's Sonic. Only it'll be privately published for reasons.
Think that's possible?
And Congratulations, because you just picked up the the 300th favorite on the picture!!!!
Do you have the video?
