Description Full size version of what got scaled down to my avatar.

Got the idear for this when viewing [link] by Tazi-San (teh mastar )

First time I've ever tried something like this. Completely CGI pic made entirely in photoshop, absolutely no black lineart. Started with a blue circle, and just kept addin' junk. I don't think I'd be able to pull off a full pic in this style, just half his face like this, looks okay.
Maybe with s'more practice I'll have something more like this to show off to 'ya >.>

Thanks, glad you like my new look (almost exactly the same as before )

I've tried that tutorial once. But I have the patience of a 3yr old. Pretty cool! ^^

I dunno...some of the coloring you do looks pretty labor-intensive. You've got patience. But I can understand being a little impatient with some technique you know very little about.
Thank ya'
It's pretty much curiousity that allowed for me to get through this, I've tried the style on a bigger pic, totally lost interest
Looks neat though, I wish I had the skill and concentration to make a whole scene like this.

If you can paint little pictures on turkey feathers...I believe in you having the patience to do this

Yes, paint I know. And it's easier. You just put the brush in the paint... make a little squiggle... wash out the color with water... pick a new color...

3D pictures require layering and hours staring at an unchanging computer screen... I'd prefer to paint the feather.

The sign? lol You mean my little "JL" logo?
That's a StarWars font with a simple preset layer style slapped on it with a few tweaks to the bevel n' glow effects
Nothin' special there really
Thanks

Very cool! It looks better scaled down to icon size.

I agree. I always love working with something that's gonna be scaled down eventually. It's half dissapointing because all the work you put into little details looking nice is kinda in vain as they get shrunken beyond recognition. But it's gratifying like in this case as the condensing of the pixels makes it look so much smoother and nice.

Most definetly. Going smaller often always improves the way an image looks online. Excellent subject matter if I may say, hehe.

Oh yes, I love Sonic! Huge fan of the genesis era. I was even sonic for halloween in kindergarten, haha, good times! Do you remember the tv show of sonic?

Oh heck yes!
The saturday morning cartoon was awesome.
Pretty much the focus of my art right now actually
Although I wanna shift a little to sci-fi. More Halo...some Star Wars perhaps...
But Sonic's really cool and fun to draw

I used to have so many of them taped. Let someone tape over them and now I'm kicking myself. I need to get ahold of them! Heh. Halo, Star Wars, Sonic...only the coolest stuff ever. Come to think of it, I've never really done anything Sonic. Hmm...

Well, the DVD box-set is supposed to be coming out later this year. That show actually has a huge dedicated fan-base...they've all been waiting a looooong time for it to be released.

Yessss, I've found yet another who shares those 3 as "the coolest stuff ever"

No way? That's awesome! I'm going to have to look into this. I remember waking up at 5 am on school days just so I could watch that show!

Thanks ya's Silvy
I'm workin' on making a MJOLNIR helmet like this for my HMO avatar...but all the surfaces are daunting. Sonic's face was easier as he's just a lotta smoothness, with some shadows. But the helmet's got a shiz-load of detail. It's hard to make stuff without lines
