Description

*EDIT* I went ahead and fixed those rock formations I mentioned below that I messed up on, as well as just a few minor tweaks here and there. It looks better to me now.

I'm also reconsidering completing the rest of the backgrounds I had in mind for "Sonic's Vocal Life," just a thought. lol


One of the little backrounds I was gonna do for Sonic's Vocal Life, seen here: [link] This one was gonna be for Classic Sonic.

I used the Smash Bros. Brawl stage of the same name for the inspiration and composition on this, so forgive me if it looks like it. I have a tough time as it is with backgrounds, but I like how this came out. It's hard to shade so many colors on the same objects, so I decided that the burn tool was the way to go, using the dodge for highlights. I normally don't use these two tools because I think they're make for rather cheap quality if used incorrectly, so I just go with color theory and use the picker. Though I'm not terribly great with that either mind you.

In any case, I rather liked the way this came out, save for the stone structures on the left side of the BG, they're a little misplaced, but all-in-all a good attempt at recreating a background.

People can use this as a base background for a piece of theirs, if they so wish to, just give me a heads-up before hand and be sure to credit me when you do so. ^^

As always, tell me what you think! ^^

Green Hill is a stage from the SEGA Genesis Sonic the Hedgehog (C)

Impressive. I like how you added a foreground and a background.

Do you think you can do more pictures of Sonic levels since this is very good.

Ok then. I suppose you already have some good ideas in your head that you will do anyway.

Huh, didn't notice the stone issue until I looked at the description...

I was a little busy admiring the water. I'm sure it's a stock photo, but it compliments the hand drawn parts very well. All in all, pretty darned good.

Ah, well, if it's not too noticeable I guess that's good to know. ^^ And yeah, it's two stock photos with some shading and highlights in spots. I just suck doing water textures by hand. XD

Hey, don't feel bad about that! One of my friends on here did a character and used someone else's background (with permission and due credit was given) and the image was all the better for it. Sometimes, collaboration pays off.
