Description Okay, here's my first "digital/paint" Design of Shard the Metal Sonic as a flesh and blood mobian-sorta.
Going to do a physical, traditional drawing later on....

My idea is that Nicole used some of the reproducing Nanites under her control and gave them to Shard. He would take control of those nanites and add them to his body and change his form to that of a natural mobian, though he can switch back and forth. That way he can interact with other Mobians outside of the SFF....Only thing he can't hide without making his torso look awkward is his power gem, so he would wear a cloak or something to hide it......

Not an original idea, but the one I like the most XD.



Base from Spar-bases! Please support the original base owner~

Shard Belongs to Sega/Archie~! Please support them properly~

I like the concept, but the art itself feels very sloppy...

You need to make sure the lines come together at points, instead of being rounded off. And also make sure to not have those stray white pixels, like around the vest. Make sure stray lines don't overlap or randomly break, like on his forehead and goggles. And also- don't go so crazy with the different line colors. Make sure they're all the same color, or similar in color to what's around them! The lines should also all be around the same thickness- like, the lines for the chest should be the same thickness as the lines used for the head.

Also- you shouldn't just say who the base was from, you should leave a link to the original base in your description! It would make it way easier for people to find the base if you left a link for them.

I left some helpful links on your main page- I'm sure your art will improve if you put just a little more effort into it!

Thanks for the tips, and I'll be sure to look them over. 

Like it said though, it's a first design and I was testing out the design and color schemes since I hardly ever- if at all- do males....
I'm not used to leaving links..but I'll keep that in mind for the future.

I'm trying to get better with paint since I'm mostly a traditional artist, but I don't have much time with family issues, college, and a full time job. Once things settle down though I hope to be able to make things better. 

Thanks though for the tips again, though it's not a lack of effort as much as it is..inexperience....XD

Yes- I understand you're new at this, hence why I was mainly giving advice on art technique. (You really should go look at those links I posted. They'll really help!)

Design-wise, I think it looks pretty good.

You're welcome! And yeah- you need to know the problems before you can put the effort into fixing them.

Thanks to those tips, I hope to gets lots better! I'm always watching people on YouTube do it and they come out amazing! So I'm really excited to try~ thanks again!

design wise..yeah there's a few bugs lol. I wanted to try incorporating all the colors from his original body ...XD didn't turn out so well....XD 

i love Shard so much.....but I don't think he feels the same...XD

This design is awesome! It suits him perfectly and I love how you distributed his color scheme!
And the headcanon is awesome! I actually have one almost identical, so it's awesome to know I'm not the only one that thought of that haha!
Great job!

owo really!? Thank you so much! I know I have a lot to fix though, but I really hope to get better.....when I first found Shard in the comics, I was almost amazed how quickly he became a favorite of mine, second only to Shadow. So I was eager to try and design a pic of him ...

i lack experience to make it any good though XD

Well, just keep going and keep practicing! You're already quite good, so you'll be outstanding before you know it! 
Haha, I can definitely relate to you there! Shard wormed his way right into my heart and made himself at home there.  I haven't been able to get him to budge, since! XD He's such a cool character.  Cool backstory, cool motivation, cool personality, cool design, everything about him just screams 'I'm a cool dude, love me'. And so, I do XD I really want to see him make a come back to the comics.

I disagree! I think it's great!

Thanks a lot!!! 

Yeah,Shard is seriously cool. Better than True Blue XD 

Archie really needs to bring him back!

Oh my gosh, I know. I love Shard to bits and pieces. He's such a great character! Everything from his design to his personality is just wonderful in every way
I would love to see Archie bring him back somehow, and I think that there are plenty of ways that they could do it while avoiding the whole copyright thing with Penders.  But since SEGA now mandates there only be one Metal Sonic at a time, Shard may apply to that rule.  Although, he might also not since he's technically a 'mecha Sonic', but only time will tell. I'm hoping for some news about him from Lost Hedgehog Tales, so we'll just have to wait and see :')

Same here! I hate having to just sit and wait though, so off to fanfictions and DA I go, more often than not..XD

Haha, agreed! It's a shame that the stream of fanart for him is so small, and there are so few fan fictions that actually involve Shard too, or I would be reading a lot more haha!
