Description
"Quick! Take her to the hospital! I'm going to take care of the monster! ..."With the black bars the image looks like a movie and makes it cooler
Ugh, I'm currently working at full speed and now I finally finished this one after a long time.
Remember of the WIP of my character Antonio? So here is he as little part of my actual image.
So, how can I explain this?
This is a little illustration of the time where Stella and Magnus, the parents of my character Starlet, lived.
There was the time (I call it the "Placid Time") where their home Crisis City had a long time of peace. Here and there were some little chaotic inconvenient things but it was settled soon. In that time Magnus the Hedgehog lived with his pregnant wife Stella happily together.
Until a monster appeared all of a sudden. It was a disaster because it attacked the district where Magnus and Stella lived. Although the district was evacuated and Magnus and Stella could escape from the attacks but they could hide from this monster for a short time.
And when the fate is going to be mean, Magnus had to confront with two problems: first, how to escape from the monster and second, unforseen Stella has gone into labour! D:
So what now!? As soon-to-be father Magnus needed to act quickly. Luckily his friend Antonio the Mink saw that both were in trouble and rushed to help both. He tried to stop the monster and Magnus had finally the possibility to take his wife to the next hospital...
You want to know how it ends?
Well, Antonio managed to defeat that monster and Stella gave birth to a healthy little girl ... supposing it had ended differently then I would have written the entire story of my actual character Starlet anew xDDDDD
Honestly, it's really hard to draw pregnant characters. I tried to make a good background but I failed with the details actually D: but I managed to make it fairly well. And a YAY!

Well, I am not that perfect story writer but thank you very much. Making lineless artwork makes a bit much work but I find it looks quite better
I took very much time till I reached that artistic level

You're welcome~ Lineless art for me is very hard, but it does look great if done well, like you have.
Ah, I know what you mean. Sometimes it can take years to get really good.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well I think it depends on which software you use. With GIMP, Photoshop or something similar you can use as much layers as you need.
π: 0 β©: 1
That's true. I think SAI can do the same.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well I've never used SAI xP But I saw some people while they're using several layers so it might work.
π: 0 β©: 1
Haha, I'm new to SAI myself, so I'm not sure. It seems you can use as many layers as you need, though.
π: 0 β©: 1
Probably
I think it's a wonder of digital paintings to use layers
π: 0 β©: 1
It is. 
π: 0 β©: 1
Not all about that. You can save your work in a special file that you can keep every single layer to edit later
π: 0 β©: 1
But the little disadvantage is that the memory requirements are much higher as you save them as image file xP
π: 0 β©: 1
Exactly. XP Loads of hard drive space.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh yeah, that's right.
I think since I've been here on dA my space has piled up to more than 4 GB xD
But I save them via USB-stick and external hard drive, too
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh wow. XD
That's good to do!
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, it's better to save all your files more than twice ... in case that something bad will happen to your drive and the works will be deleted.
π: 0 β©: 1
That's very true. I should probably get another flash drive in case that should happen. I only have one.
π: 0 β©: 1
As I said, it's always better to have a replacement.

My brain just exploded from the awesomeness.
I'm serious. This is such an incredible piece I don't even know where to begin. The fire lizard (which reminds me of the enemy class in Sonic 06) is a fearsome antagonist which actually looks capable of incinerating any opponent. The setting is wonderfully dark and the feeling is quite grim, yet heroic and courageous as well.
As the fires rage crackle dully throughout the background, the center of focus blazes gloriously. Something you've always had a knack for is color scheme, and I can't fully express what an excellent contrast in values you've made here.
Absolutely brilliant, Elly. Completely and totally excellent.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, what do I have to say Mike? This is technically my best artwork currently
Indeed the idea with the fire lizard came from the STH 06 series. Also the story of this illustration.
Haha please I feel a bit too flattered

I was wondering: is the same "Crisis City" in which Silver and Blaze live in?
π: 0 β©: 1
Ahm, yes. This is the same Crisis City. I changed the story a bit
π: 0 β©: 1
So is possible for all these characters to meet one day?
Just a question about your universe
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, it's as follows, Springs:
It's a little past history of the actual story of my universe.
Referring to this image, it's the time approx. 14 years ago (somehow logical 
The city is still a dangerous devastated place after years. But still the citizens manage to get through the dreadful time.
And sometimes there are peaceful times. But it didn't take long. Approx. 4 years after Starlet's birth, Stella and Magnus lost their life as they protected her daughter from another attack from a monster ...
so, this is the prehistory very shortly told.

All right, thank you very much ^^
π: 0 β©: 1
amazing image!! Your style is truly breathtaking! The monster has to be my fav! The details you have in this picture work perfectly together! Great job!
π: 0 β©: 1
Haha well, most of the deviants commenting this images said to me how amazing the monster is
Maybe it's the lava effect I made it for the monster xDD
Anyway, thank you very much 
π: 0 β©: 1
i bet your right XD
its always the characters that take the longest, never know why
your very welcome ^^
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, for me sketching characters takes a long time. To color this it goes faster :3
I don't know why, too. Maybe because you just want to make it proper without missing a detail C:
π: 0 β©: 1
Same here XD coloring takes me longer though ._.
Yeah
It can wait another night! I'm tired of working on this picture for today! XD
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, then it's good to work with more than one layer. I draw particular parts of the images on a separate layer. Someday if I notice that something is missing then I can fix it
π: 0 β©: 1
best day ever was finding out how layers work :,D
my friend is still learning how layers work XD
my mistakes are on the line art parts. it could look all nice till you look back and its faded or misplaced, try to fix it and it looks worse so you gotta start all over
π: 0 β©: 1
Well I used at first ArtWeaver and Paint.NET xD Paint.NET was good in working with layers but it was a primitive software. ArtWeaver was better in making art though but the layers drove me into madness.
Since then I've been using GIMP. It works fantastic and I can work with the layers pretty good
π: 0 β©: 1
I used MS paint for a while. Never mastered it.
Then used PS elements 7.0. Got use to layers and effects on that
Tried GIMP for lines but I kept messing up on it and was really confusing for me. :/
Then I got CS5 and works a lot easier for me :3 still learning new tricks to it though XD
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, I got confused with the lineart tool on GIMP, too 
π: 0 β©: 1
who cant live without the line tool on any program? XD
π: 0 β©: 1
Hmm, maybe the artists who're quite good in drawing art only with tablet xD
π: 0 β©: 1
i use a tablet XD
π: 0 β©: 1
Me too :3 But I have issues with the precision. So I use mouse and tablet for my artwork xD
π: 0 β©: 1
I can't use my mouse cause it's a touch mouse on my laptop
π: 0 β©: 1
Hmm, that makes a bit difficult :\
And how about buying a little cheap mouse having an USB connector? Just plug in to your laptop and mostly it'll work
π: 0 β©: 1
nah, im good XD i'm use to pressure control
π: 0 β©: 1
Haha xD As I cannot draw digital sketches I have to rely on my paper and pencil skills xD
π: 0 β©: 1
i use to draw on paper all the time, but lately ive been having a bad habit of making the heads little to big lately ._."
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, I think it's a matter of practice. I had generally problems with drawing sized. Either the entire character was too little or too big
π: 0 β©: 1
it takes practice to get it right XD

Ich wΓΌnschte ich hΓ€tte es aufgenomen.....und dir abgespielt wie lange ich mit offenden Mund vorstand und ahhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhhh machte.
Ich sah es schon heute um Mitternacht aber ich musste erst ne Runde schlafen so wie mich das angespruchen hat......
Ich mag Detail, die Licht Effekte posen und das Colouring desMonsters!
Dies ist wirklich ein Geschenk fΓΌr alle.....beste Artwork bis jetzt, vergess doch den Cute Smile Stamp dies geht an die macht!
