Description

Okay, seeing as =Aerobian-Angel isn't mad at me, I thought I shuld go ahead and write a proper description for this piece.

For those that don't know, there's a lovely little collab going on called The Sonic Boom Project, seen here: and in this group, we draw pieces of art that relate to lines in various Sonic vocal tracks from games past and present.

With that out of the, I must discuss my particular piece:

This picture was my entry into =Aerobian-Angel 's Reach for the Stars song hosting. This song, of course, being the theme to Sonic Colors. I entered a long time ago back when he was the only one doing these little collab things, and I chose the line from the song that goes a little like this: "And Take a Chance on Today."

Seeing as there weren't too many Planet Wisp entries, which I find odd as to me it's one of the better stages, so I ended up doing that as the setting for mine. This is particularly in the first Act where he you have to use Spikes to get a Rocket Wisp early in the stage. I tried to give Sonic that classic, "cool guy," acting as if being hundreds of feet in the air and falling is no big deal. I think I captured it nicely. The other two creatures in here are Yacker and Rocket Wisp. Yacker looks quite scared about being so high up, but there in lies the joke, the fact he can fly, but is still worried about falling, it's visual irony people. XD Rocket Wisp looks sort indifferent or "normal," I guess, nothing special about him to say.

*Edit*

I did away with that weird shading the made it look like the characters were "attached," to the ground that they are plummeting towards, and replaced it with perspective shadows! Thanks *KaiThePhaux and =Shirokaze2012 for pointing it out for me and giving me tips! Hopefully it's more obvious that they're falling now.

As always, tell me what you think! ^^

I really like the way Aero critiques. The way he analyzes every single detail.
I tend to Critique art I REALLY like, so I don't have to say anything bad about their work. When people complain about something on MY work, I kinda feel bad about myself. That's why I only critique the best work I can find, so I can point out everything I liked about the piece, and not say anything about flaws, because I become blind to any. I just want people to be happy.

I guess I'm a bad Critic. :/

I like to critique to help people improve. I always try to come off as a nice guy, but i want to make sure that they realize their faults. It's no use to pretend for them to not be there, but the desire to get better just feels so right.

Thanks. C:

Actually those "bushes," are trees, and they actually are octagonal in shape. If you analyze the footage from Planet Wisp Act 1 where this stage takes place, it's actually seen right when he uses Rocket Wisp in this location.

Also, shading is more humble in this installment simply to show the location of the light source, its placement being directly above this location. And also I was kinda hoping you wouldn't critique this just yet, as I'm doing my more advanced techniques at this moment. I know it's late, but once I finished something to an extent, doing that extra bit of stuff is exhausting. So I apologize for that, you'll see the updated version soon, and I'm thinking of adding in the other Wisps that I drew from here: [link]

What are you thoughts?

Well, thanks for clearing that up for me, Cornz. I was a bit confused there. XD

As for including the other wisps, you should definitely go for it. Like, seriously.

I agree with this critique ^^

You are very good with critical analysis, sir. Having witness at least three of your critiques already, I must say I am impressed, because of your attention to detail.

I'd always recommend brutal honesty with critiques, which is what you give. Bravo to ye.

'tis a shame that I will be unlikely to ever take part in critiques. I like to idea of helping others improve.

Not to be mean sir/madam, but I find it funny how you commented on the critique but not the piece itself. I know you can't use the critique feature because you lack a subscription, but I would think commenting on the art is a little more important. XD

Sorry if I sound mean. D: I'm just pointing it to be funny, not to be mean at all.

My apologies sir, I can be absent minded at times ^^' What can I say that he has not? 'Tis a magnificent piece, and you should be truly proud of it. While the shading, as Aero rightly states, is very lax, that puts little negativity overall. This is a wonderful, wonderful piece.

I do in fact have a subscription, that's not a problem. The fact is, without any talent of my own, I can't really critique others' work. Almost everyone can surpass me in talent, so any critiques I perform would seem like an insult to the recipient.

Also, I'm male ^^

Well, as I mentioned to A-2, the shading is like that for a specific reason, that reason being the light source is directly above Sonic and the environment. It's not like I can't do better shading, I'm trying to show where the light is coming from, and everyone should know that when the Sun is directly above us, i.e. at 12:00 O'Clock noon? The shadows are very limited, don't you remember that episode of Rugrats where that had "No Shadow Time?" XD That's the basic premise, minimal shadows at midday. ^^

And please, as long as you know what's wrong with a picture, you can very well critique as well, there's nothing wrong with that. You're word isn't anymore valid than someone else's anyhow so go ahead and take a chance!

Thanks for that bro. XD

Guardian-of-Animals In reply to Cornelious-Raidon [2010-12-22 01:07:09 +0000 UTC]

I have never seen nor heard of these rugrats, so I could not possibly comment.

However, There is a lot of sense in the lighting and shading now that you've said what the perspective/positioning is like. I am beginning to see how that works ^^

As for the critiques, I will keep such in mind.

Point being as well, I'm adding shading to this as we speak, so it'll look better, trust me.

Hey man, I'm not feeling mad, disappointed, OR let down at all. I am proud the most from your submission out of all of the later submissions. You posted an update (the lineart), which let me know that you were at least working on it, while others looked quite rushed... as if they started as soon as I reminded them.

Either way, I love your entry, and if you ask me, "Better late than never."

I suppose that makes me feel a little bit better... To me, though, it still doesn't mean as much as it could have. Plus, I couldn't get it in on time for it to be in the video, so now it means even less. I feel like the guy who carries all the luggage for a band just before their big concert performance, did I help? Yeah, but did I have anything to do with, or have any influence over, the overall outcome of the performance? Probably not...
