Description
Ok. I must first say thank you to Nara for allowing me the opurtunity to color this picture. She drew the picture . . . and I wish I knew how to link stuff in the description . . . but if you really wanna see the original as well as some of her other works (which I reccomend) you can find some of her art in my favorites gallery.ok, now for the art piece. The original is quiet impressive, and I attained a higher appreciation for Nara's attention to detail as I colored the piece. When I checked this picture out for the first time, I read the description before I actually saw the art (thank you 56K dail-up), and I had this invisionment of how it would look as soon as I saw the picture. Now, I do not follow Sonic the Hedgehog, let alone its fan-fics, as I understand this to be inspired from. And it wasn't until halfway through coloring this guy it dawned on me: "this is more than likely an already well established character in the Sonic universe, with a set look and personality (fan-fic twist aside) . . . shoot, I don't think I am coloring him correctly . . ." but I came to see this as a strength for this collaboration piece, as I was not bound to "it needs to look like this" and was free to have things open-ended.
So if this guy is supposed to be blue . . . he isn't. sorry. But when I read the description, this is the color palette my mind slapped on when I saw the line-art.
I am quiet pleased with how it tunred out. I put a lot of attention and detail (more than I would usually put) into this, and I need to put more effort into more of my pieces like I did with this one. I'd say about 4-6 hours collectively to finish coloring this and about a thousand layers ^_^ just because I'm difficult like that ^_^
I hope you like it Nara. And thanks again. I had a lot of fun coloring this!

*INSTANT HEART*
XD Seriously, your coloring gives Metal a very wicked edge and makes him look more than just robotic clone of Sonic.

Glad you enjoyed coloring this. (: Those aren't the characters true colors, no, but that doesn't matter at all, these are interesting and different, this could be an alternate universe version of him, or he's changed his coloration, as he can shape-shift in the fic I read, endless possibilities really. lol I love the shading and highlighting, esp. on the top of his head, above his eyes. That's actually how I planned on shading/highlighting that area. XD lol The simple gradient filling in the bg is a nice touch as well. Great job
