The background here is really fun! It tricks the eye into thinking it's more detailed than it actually is - especially since the signposts really *are* that detailed. The van's the same, to the point that I feel like I can see the wheels blurring into reverse (a trick of the eye in real life, where they're really just turning fast enough that our brain can't process enough frames per second to keep up with them). Sonic on his own is great, too, still very simple but with some surprisingly complex shading and highlights.
Unfortunately, and I know I've said this to you before, it feels like Sonic doesn't quite fit in with everything else. Then again, that's kind of the point, but I just feel that his style is fundamentally different from everything else's somehow. And while I'm nagging, this may be perspective or subtle curves playing games with me but it looks like the top Police placard is bent a little - it starts curving downwards from I through the character. Then again, the more I look at it the more it looks like it's supposed to do that, and it seems like it would be symmetrical if viewed from the front, which is probably my problem.
Anyway, I've indulged my inner critic for long enough. Great work!

Whoa, this...this is something new from you. You drew the buildings and vehicle well at that perspective
I feel that one of Sonic's eyes is a little too dark compared to the other though

Thanks a lot for your comment! Yeah, I drew a lot of perspective lines to make sure the lines appeared correctly.
True about the eye, maybe I'll fix it it later
Thanks again

The police van is a heightened roof version, which is the one in the picture I used for reference. Probably not very practical for pursuit, but it was a good quality image and angle so I used it.
