Chao Flight Path v2.0

This was one of those things I had wanted to do years ago, but never got around to. Then back in October, I managed to whip out a sketch of this (as seen in my scraps.)

Well, it’s been a few years since I’ve inked or colored in the usual Sonic Team style, so this looks really off.

I decided to use a bit of a mix style that I had been working on with Paths. I’d draw out the path I want, then stroke it with pen pressure to create a variable width line as depicted here. For kicks, I also colored it like that. So that’s why it doesn’t look like a typical SA style picture. Also, Tikal’s ‘Gloves’ are based off of her SA and SA2 3D Model’s, in which all Echidnae character’s had gloves, no fingers, despite her official artwork. (That and I was too lazy to draw individual fingers.)

I also got lazy with the background and just whipped something in there. XD;; Ah well. ^^ Line’s initially drawn in Flash, Re-worked in Illustrator, then finished in Photoshop. Colored, too.

P.S. Ignore the fact that the Chao Bauble is pink instead of yellow. XP;; I realized it after the fact. Oops.

I decided Crystal didn’t get enough air-time. XD And I really needed to do a good picture of her. Well, eventually I’ll end up doing a SA styled one. But I felt like doing fluffy for now.

Interesting thing, when I originally inked this, full-page picture, bigass sharpie, the scanned lines looked like turd, even when I imported into Flash. But I fixed the lines, and everything looks cool now! Then Flash kept closing every time I wanted to export it. It wouldn’t let me export 8000pix picture apparently. o_O;;;;

Either case, I scaled down the picture and made a wallpaper! D

SO! This is Crystal the Cat, playfully … uh… playing with a giant ball! 8D Originally supposed to be a ball of yarn, but I got lazy when drawing the threads. XD;;;;;;

She got high from playing with the Cat-nip mouse beside her. 83!! LOOKITDOSEYES!!! Big as Saucers!

Well, the entirety of Crystal, and the mouse, was done in Flash… Lines, Colors, and Shading. I love Flash. <3

I exported it to Photoshop for the BG. WHICH I goofed around with a bunch of vector brushes for the background. So, yeah. SHINY.

Keep a look out for two other Crystal the Cat Pictures lateron. ^_^

Well, this is a couple of months old, I really like it. ^^ I spent a bit of time making this at work, though I’m certain I’m not going to be using it for anything. So, to avoid putting waste to something I spent time on, I’m presenting it here!

This is a loose Representation of Paris, at Dusk. (Ignore the nonsensical “French” I have posted there, It was meant to be a parody. No offense)

I have an Eiffel Tower, with lights, and the famous Water fountain at Concord Place. I took various Landmarks from Paris, and put them together in my own interpretation. There was originally going to be water in the “road” behind the first one, but I couldn’t manage the texturing on that one completely, so it’s a black board. And the front texture is supposed to be a bit of cobblestone, with water reflections on it (Hence, near a river).

Ah well. ^^ I love this picture actually… done 100% in Flash!!

About a month ago, a member on deviantART had sent me a note. It was their Birthday coming up shortly (at the time), and they wanted to know if I could draw them something. Normally birthday stuff has to be done quickly, and I had a bigger project going, so I read the request with an open mind.

In it, they detailed they were looking for an image of Shadow, holding a Shadow Chao, which was holding a birthday present. ^^ I thought it was cute, and I was inspired, so I quickly sketched it up. Though I won’t finish it, at least it exists!

…. “Chaos, Control~!”

A blinding flash erupted beneath the Space Colony ARK. After being hurtled toward the blue planet below, the Colony was being returned to its original orbit, with the help of two Hedgehogs. Both yelling out, and calling the Aid of the Seven Chaos Emeralds to transport the beast, the two stood united.

After the light dimmed from the area, a lone, Gold, Hedgehog was seen, grasping the only remains if his new friend.

“Shadow had fulfilled his destiny…” Sonic breathed as he flew solemnly back toward the now stationary Colony, never looking back, as he had no reason, nor desire to, “I wish him…peace…” In his paws he rolled around the right gold band had been torn from his partner’s wrist, after he tried desperately not to let him go. The kind effort had not completely been wasted as he was offered a large smile in return after his hand was released.
