Description Hiya everyone~!

I recently joined #Artgermination which is a pretty cool group for pushing yourself in becoming a digital artist. Every now and then, they do a theme challenge. This time, the theme is to pick an existing character you like and make a mecha version of them.

The natural choice would have been Mecha Sonic, right? So I figured I'd try someone else. I've always wondered how the characters would look in a Mecha form so I chose Shadow because I haven't drawn him in a while

When I joined the group, the challenge was going to end in 3 days. Never have I worked on something so fast before. I was so determined to get it finished in time lol. Probably because the idea of Mecha Shadow came into my head instantly~!

Don't forget to stop by at #Artgermination ~!

Ciao!

Well, whadaya know! I once created my own Mecha Shadow for a Sonic fan game concept of mine. Good to know that someone else had the same idea! Looks nice, btw!

Would be interesting if Mecha Shadow was to come into existence wouldn't it? (:

Thank you!

CB-Blackwell In reply to goldhedgehog [2012-10-01 16:57:33 +0000 UTC]

Yup, definitely. I'm surprised he hasn't appeared in the comics or something yet.

And no problem! ^^

Wow. This is a very interesting design. XD
As a fan of Metal Sonic, I really like the direction you took with this.
It looks very legit.

Thank you.

Yea, I was thinking opposites with this one against Metal Sonic's design. I decided to go bulky instead of sleek like Metal Sonic is.

Maybe it's the angle his head's at, but I'm loving the pissed off look he's sporting. And those colors, I can't get enough of them~

Haha, yea. Best part was just doing one half and then just copy and mirrored it *lazy*

Thanks. You should give it a try. Would love to see Sonic art in your style

GreyRadian In reply to goldhedgehog [2012-10-01 13:53:50 +0000 UTC]

Hahaha hey at least you drew one side perfectly! Thats still astounding! Do you use the line tool to draw such straight lines? Because i can't imagine how to draw buildings/structures/mechs digitally, becauses theres no ruler >__<;;

Ive tried it back then thinking it was pretty easy but they came out bad lol. I think I should give it another go

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

goldhedgehog In reply to GreyRadian [2012-10-01 17:20:20 +0000 UTC]

Yea I use the pen tool in Illustrator. Using the guides from the rulers helps too

I think Photoshop has it too. Just hit Ctrl+R and then rulers from the edges of the document will show up then just click and hold one of the rulers then drag. Out comes a guide and just place it accordingly to your desired position Comes in handy when you want extra precision~

Totally, would like to see that (: ~
