As a character, her personality was honestly terrifying - progressively softening thanks to Cream - up until Zone 7. This really shows what she was like prior to losing to Sonic.

Well this is spectacular. Once again you demonstrate your skill at lighting and texture, making for a piece that very soundly captures such a strong character as Blaze. I can hear "Aliez" from Aldnoah Zero Playing in the Background. Well done!

If we ever have an SA3 SEGA needs towork their asses off to make it's graphics and art this beautiful ;_;

What rock have you been hiding under? SEGA will only produce games on piss-poor hardware like the Wii U. Until they move to PC they'll never have this!

Let me guess, you have used a real 3D model of Blaze, as a pattern on tracing paper, the effect is just outstanding.
I'm working atm on a SFM series featuring Blaze & Tails and I may need in the futur a artist like you for the poster of the series, let me know if you may be interested.

Uh... I didn't trace anything on this one actually
I did spin a 3D model to draw her face on the "catnap" picture, however
Hmmm... sounds like it might be fun!

Well then your art give a lovely feeling of a 3D model drawing into 2D, mixed with a nice digital art effect, I really like this style.
For the poster I will send you a note with all the detail.

please tell me you have a video working in this masterpiece! : D
you put a lot of talent in the draw, tell me if you're going to do it again on livestream >u<

Sorry... I don't have a video. I didn't even think of it, lol
I'll look into it!

Biiiyuuutifal render! 
I think I like how you did detailed the fur. Subtle and not distracting. It actually adds to the overall effects of this piece.

Now this... THIS IS THE MOST AMAZING THING I HAVE EVER SEEN O.O It looks just so amazing... her fur and her expression are just...WOW, I guess I'm speechless This is just beautiful... AMAZING JOB!!!Β

Thanks! I'm glad you like it!
It's a bit of a tough act to follow though, lol x_x

Pics like this make me wish Blaze was in more games. Plus, I can see her more as an anti-hero.
π: 0 β©: 1
Thanks! I wish she was in more games too.
What makes you think of her as an anti-hero? She kinda seems like a rule-follower to me.
π: 0 β©: 1
Actually, I can see her as an anti-villain, who does horrible things for a good purpose. I don't know why, but she reminds me of Colonel Walter E. Kurtz from the movie Apocalypse Now, who has been emotionally drained from the horrors of war, being extremely isolated from civilization.Β
π: 0 β©: 1
Hm... Interesting!
Shamefully enough I've not seen that movie yet, but from your description alone I think I kinda see what you mean...
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh, I definitely recommend it! It's one of the best movies I've seen.
Yeah, I just like to see Blaze be more of a force of nature in comparison to her version from the comics.
π: 0 β©: 1
Lol yeah, comic Blaze is disappointing
But... it'd be REALLY boring if she did everything perfectly, since she's not an antagonist. The hero has to struggle somehow or there's no real tension.
The force of nature/anti-villain approach could definitely have worked really well in the sonic rush adaptation or some similar story where she starts out as an antagonist, though.
I think the problem is she keeps re-learning the same lesson (friends r good) and falling prey to the same traps (getting bonked on the head) which makes her come off as incompetent and weak. They might be a bit dry on ideas for her, especially since she lives in another dimension completely irrelevant to the main plot, confining her to short stories. Maybe they should involve the sol dimension a bit more, like have the actions in one world affect the other, that kind of thing. (like maybe after the unleashed plot ends, i mean)

I know in my headcanon, Blaze has her own "fuel" for her flames which she uses up energy in her body, sort of like Delsin Rowe from inFAMOUS games. Plus, I'd mostly want her to live in the same dimension as Sonic, but isolated on a island in which she is worshipped as a god by the natives there.
π: 0 β©: 1
Well that makes sense, especially for a game. Having a limit might be a little too convenient for a writer though because then "oh her flames ran out just when she needed them!!" and it can easily get contrived
Personally I kinda see her like a fire bender where the fire is powered by drive/force of will/emotional state. If her resolve wavers oh no the flames weaken too-- possibly also contrived and not very good for a game, but it doesn't hinge on an invisible meter depleting somewhere whenever the author wants it to (if that makes sense) but acts as a way to show what she's thinking/feeling etc
Idk about getting rid of the sol dimension or being limited to one island, but having her be worshiped by the natives is interesting...

I know that in my fancanon trilogy, she was formerly the empress of Soleanna(Which is more of a combination of Ancient Rome and China rather than Venice), but her entire kingdom was destroyed by Iblis. Originally retreating to Mobotropolis(Which has a strong relationship to the former, similar to the relationship between U.S. and the U.K.) to spread the news, she was shipwrecked by a storm to the island and stayed there for twenty years.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh cool
You know the "volcano sacrifices" where they toss people in the volcano to keep it from erupting, what if that happened to blaze and she crawled out looking pissed and also alive hence the worship?
20 years is a long time though, wow. Imagine if Lost went on for 20 seasons.

That's exactly what I've been thinking. Also, you know the character Sticks from Sonic Boom, right?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah...?
Wait... are you suggesting she'd be a native of this island?
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, plus, she'd be a former child soldierΒ who was rescued by Blaze during a civil war in Downruda.
π: 0 β©: 1
Cool!
Does this rescuing happen before or after Blaze gets stuck on the island?
Also, out of curiosity, was Marine an unfortunate casualty of this civil war? lol
π: 0 β©: 1
Before. As for Marine, she'd die from the storm. Blaze would be the only survivor.
π: 0 β©: 1
Then wouldn't Sticks help get Blaze off the island somehow?
Or are they essentially prisoners of their own adoring public?
π: 0 β©: 1
The thing is though, Blaze eventually gotten herself used to the island, eventually losing all ties and memories of her past, and becoming a renegade.Β

Nonstop island vacations tend to have that effect on people, lol
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah. I definitely recommend reading the novel Heart of Darkness, as it's the inspiration of my version of Blaze's character.
π: 0 β©: 1
I'll be sure to read it!
...especially since it's required reading next semester lol

..Revenge... Blazes eyes.. Anyway really really cool effects in this picture not too much and not too few and characters pose looks cool like that. Nothing else special need to put in this picture.

A happy medium!
