Description
To celebrate me just buying a couple of IDW Sonic comic compilations for the very first time, here is my take on the Sonic/Tangle Teamwork shot.
Created in Blender and Rendered in Cycles.

Sonic model courtesy of ApocHedgie, and Tangle model is courtesy of DarkHedgehog23.
Why the DarkHedgehog23 model? As I have commented on his download page, I have been trying to get a hold of a Generations-style Tangle model ever since I became a fan of her, and his model was the closest I could ever find.
Now, JCThornton has already made his own Tangle model (along with recreations of some other Sonic characters), but if I put that model with the Generations-style Sonic characters, it might break consistency, and even worse, I was never fully satisfied with how her tail worked in that model.
This is why I have been improving on DarkHedgehog23's model for myself. I improved her vest with a few modelling adjustments, I removed the pointy teeth carried over from the original cat model that this was based off (because I don't believe lemurs have teeth like that), added an armature with a fully articulate tail with lots of bones (even though I couldn't get her head completely right), and after finding out that I can enable "Connected" for Proportional editing, I gave her quite a few facial flexes which not only allowed her to smile, frown, and move her eyelids, but also allowed her to talk whenever I make animated shorts featuring her.
