Description
I've been thinking I'd never be able to top my old Labyrinth Zone picture [link] so I decided to try something a little different this time. In particular I was really inspired by some of Sorata-s's [link] Sonic pictures (that's what drove me to draw it in the first place) and wanted to try something a little "softer." The main thing is that it went a lot faster when I knew I wasn't going to ink as much as I usually do.
At the same time, the dilemma of do I ink more or less? I love nice linework, but I also love sketchy pencils, and I love no lines at all.
One thing I didn't get in this picture is the sense of claustrophobia and the depth you can fall when fighting the Labyrinth Zone boss, there's still a lot of height but I don't think I suggested how precarious the situation was. You wouldn't even guess that the water is rising unless you knew from playing the game.

I really like the background you drew. I feel like I can easily imagine this when I'm trying to get past the Labyrinth zone boss.
And the water also looks really nice as do the colours.

Thanks! Gotta send props to Sonic Team in 1991 for the colors though, I just snatched them right out of the game.
Something about the Labyrinth Zone's color certainly lends itself to depth though!

No problem!
True, but anyone can just snatch the colours out of the game. Few can utilise them really well like you did.
It definitely does!

I really wanted to beat the shit out of that fucking chicken for retreating while he made me run the gauntlet, but great pic.

If you are fast, you can actually get all 8 hits on him while running up the guantlet. That's a satisfying experience, believe me! XD

I hated this part of all the boss battles
Because once you get hit by the tridents its hard to get back up

Too see actual stage in Sonic games painted this way is just tear-jerkingly good! You inspire me.
And you even painted in the enemies! Good lord

That's an excellent drawing, but I hate the level sooo much.
And to top it all off, the worst boss in Sonic history

He's a lot more fun when you manage to make him start exploding before the stage ends! Did you ever manage to get all 8 hits on him?

I love your oldschool Sonic art really much! The perspective looks awesome and the coloring is really sweet. :3

I love the perspective, colouring and not to mention Dr.Eggmans pose. I just happened to be listening to the music for this zone when I found this wonderful work of yours.

This is perhaps my favorite Sonic stage of all time, you really captured it well and I like the art style you used, though I confess that I prefer the old rendition of Labyrith Zone you drew >_>

Yeah I was thinking the other one would still be better from the moment I started, but what can you do? Luckily it's not like one negates the existence of the other.

Awesome work, you made it look so 3Dish. Reminds me when I had to pass the stage for my older cousins 16 years ago

I always hated this zone, but this picture makes it look alot more fun.

The perspective is what makes this so dynamic, and the color work is to die for. Excelsior!

I remember this zone. I can't remember if I had beaten it or not.
Anyway, very awsome!

Labyrinth Zone can go to hell. But awesome portrayal anyways, even if it's the spawn of the devil!

ah beautiful! So nostalgic. I remember struggling through this level. Whenever there was water involved it always seems to be a challenge XD
Anyway, incredible painting skill. The perspective literally does add a whole new dimension to a familiar place. =]

Labyrinth Zone always seems to evoke an emotional response, I can remember struggling through it my first couple times too. The first time in fact, I gave up at one point even though I still had continues, it had just worn me out!

I hated that boss, it was barely a boss tho, more like you vs environment.

A nice rendition of the labyrinth boss
I like Sonic in the background and the whole zone looks great, nice job!

The few to none linearts make for a more 3D feel, almost as if you were making concept art for it XD
but it does have its own sense of character which would end up being different if you were to do the same pic with the sketchy or the linearts on the entire thing.

Oh Also, ever plan on doing Sonic CD inspired zones? I bet you could have a lot of fun with those

I did one for Palmtree Panic [link] a while ago but I don't really like it anymore. XD I still haven't done Scrap Brain yet though, so I feel like I'd be cheating.... XD

Yea I love that one. Anyways keep it up regardless of what you draw!

This is beautifully and wonderfully done. As far as can remember, there isn't many pictures of Robotnik/Eggman in his classic look.
The background is also very well done.

I love the perspective! I have no idea how you do these ;_; teach meee
You definitely made the zone look dimensional. Very nice!
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
What program do you do those on? Or did you draw it out and scan it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
That's pretty much the trick right there, just make the background dimensional! You have to treat it like it's as important as the characters, and even more three dimensional, like a diorama or something.

It's soo hard though *_* My brain gets stuck after I cant think of what else to add to make it less flat. That, and I need to work with perspective. It gets so wonked out a lot.
