Description It feels like forever since I've drawn proper Sonic fanart! I guess I haven't much been inspired by Sonic lately, BUT Sonic Generations is changing that.

I was already pretty optimistic with what I'd heard so far then I saw the new trailer - the City Escape trailer.

Sonic Adventure 2 was the first Sonic game I played seriously and to this day one of my all time favourite games. So to see this modern re-design of one of the most enjoyable opening levels ever? Needless to say nostalgic man tears ensued (well pretty much).

So I started playing SA2 again and needed to draw something to capture the fun and speed of that level.

Drawn with different coloured ball point pens and coloured pencils.

This is also my submission for 's 20th Anniversary Contest.

Thanks, it's one of those strange psychological things: there's no temptation to erase any lines so my drawings end up being looser and more dynamic!

This is just well awesome and dynamic! I really love that level from Sonic Adventure 2! One of my favourite games ever!
Sonic's pose and expression in this are just so cool and outstanding!
I love the way you coloured him, the snowboard, the sparks and the background!

Nice job. City Escape was my favorite level, probably due to the fact that it's theme had lyrics, but yeah, loved it. ^^

sweet job dude, wish theyd make a sonic game w/the large variety of characters that they had during sonic adventure-sonic heroes. remember how we used to play radical highway alla the time? good times, good times

GraphiteFalcon In reply to Sunburst-Super-Hero [2011-07-17 13:16:56 +0000 UTC]

Thanks man, yeah but by heroes all the characters was getting out of hand, and in Sonic 2006 it was just forced and ridiculous. They should keep it to Sonic, Knux and Tails like the good old days
Heh yeah that was awesome.
Thanks for the fave too.

Sunburst-Super-Hero In reply to GraphiteFalcon [2011-07-19 09:57:50 +0000 UTC]

I'm surprised. No Shadow? I reckon they should keep the number of playable characters down, but still have Amy, Shadow, and maybe the Chaotix and Rouge, but keep them as cameo's, not have them play a major part in the story.
Also, I'd like to see what a Sonic game w/the Metarex would be like(mostly coz i'd like to see the Blue typhoon in a game, or maybe the x-tornado, and the sonic power cannon would be awesome).
btw, dunno if Justin's called you yet but we might be seeing a movie on Friday. probably harry potter. i'll keep you posted
