Description Yay! XD I'm done another one, finally. x_X; sorry it took so long, slight technical difficultes.

Now that this is done with, I can move on to other ones! *laugh*

Anyway, this character here is Zephyr the 'punk', smoking hed...waith what.? WAUGH! I just accidentally RESTORED all of my recycling bin! X_X;; Took me hours to put all that crap in there! *dies*


Err..! I present, Astreaus Zephyrus, AKA Zephyr the Hedgehog. The hedgehog creation of the funky fresh and very sweet, ! Thank you very much for letting me draw this for you! ^^ I hope you enjoy it. Once again, I tried my hand at hand-drawing in a background. A brick wall, with home-brewn graffitti, and random shiz! The cement walk on the left, and the cigarette butt are my favorite. XD Hahaha... I even tagged the wall with my own 'tag' I just made. *runs away before she's shot*

Wow, very nice piece. I like how you used a different style on Zephyr and on the background. Both done nicely. His pose and face expression also done nicely. Overall, you know what I'll say. Good work

Wow, looking excellent, Koji! ~angelsnow 's character definatly is unique! He looks like a punk or something! It's those clothes and piercings, I know it! LOL

Very well done indeed! The SA style is definatly something you've mastered, and the shading on it is so confident. No shakiness or anything, which is a common fault I see in people trying to mimic the SA style. You're awesome! ^__^

The sort of "painted" style to the background gives an added effect too. Excellent as always.

I LOVE IT KOJI-CHAN!!!! ;___; You're welcome! I love it! You are the first person to capture my characters unique features. He is a bad ass hedgie with a bad smoking problem. He's also very lazy. But you did an amazing job Koji-chan! ;_; You're so amazing with the art! I can't thank you enough. Oh wait yeah I can. -Snickers evilly and runs away, favoriting her characters picture.-

OMG GANSTA KOJI TAGGED A WALL! BAD! =O

Actually, good. Very good. The grafitti is a great expansion of your creativity from the pic itself to the background. Most people (myself included) would have just done a Photoshop effect or something half-hearted. Icing on the cake.

This must be the hundreth time I've said this a comment, but I also love those pants. XD;

canebrake [2004-08-22 19:47:25 +0000 UTC]

Mmm.. I think there might be too deep a perspective for the background. The character himself seems like a sort or eye level perspective, while you're looking down ont he scenery.

Poing! XD More critisizm! YAY!

And, YES! I suck at 3D perspective! *slammed into a wall* I've always sucked at it. o_O; I'm trying, though. Thanks for the tip. I think it's the far wall on the right that does it in. I was trying to imagine a similar wall, in SA1, where you fight Chaos 0 for the first time as Sonic. That little pit thing there.

*cowers in fear* I can't tell if that's sarcasm o_o

Sometimes it helps if you make a floor grid for what your character is standing and then work the grid upwards to match the view on the character. If you keep your blue lines on another layer you can just click them on when finalising the BG.

..dont hurt me.. XD

Oi~ This is a very impressive peice. First of all; though he's not your character, he's still very cool. :3 About the picture: Well you never cease to impress me with your SA style talents, Koji ;o; The highlights are even in small details like the quills, which is something I'd be too lazy to do. XO He looks like his attention is caught on something which makes the picture even more interesting. Your SA style is generally flawless, and like Amy said you're getting better with everything I see. But the first suggestion I'm going to make is work with bigger images. I know that's not much to say but when working with larger images its easier to see the detail and hard work put into the picture. And about the background, I like the linelessness and abstract qualities in the BG, especially the grass, but it seems you got a bit sloppy in some places. But the picture in general is just amazing and I can't wait to see more of your work.

Kojichan In reply to Deathlyambience [2004-08-23 04:24:03 +0000 UTC]

Sweet! Constructive critisizm!!!



and, the original image, the character itself, is about 3000 pixels tall. I know about working with large images. It's just that, if someone pays me to draw their character, THEY get the best image. This picture is half the size of the wallpaper I sent to ~angelsnow . That's why it's small.

And, I do agree. > If I sit for too long doing something, like a BG for instance, I get rather sloppy... It's my short attention span. It's something I haven't learned to overcome.

And... the 'lack of lines' in the BG was an accident, actually... I accidentally erased the layer with the lines, then saved it, and my computer froze. Talk about inopportune moments.
(I should mention, I only have a PII/400mhz, wiht 128mb memory. THAT itself causes a lot of problems, I've found. I think the memory is a but...fried? My computer requires a restart almost every 30 minutes, depending on the intensity of CPU I;m using. I'm quite saddened.)

O.O That's even worse than my computer. How horrible, I'd literally die if my computer did that ;; Ok, I understand why it's small now. That sucks that you lost your lines in the background though. Well alright, I see what happened. And no problem for the constructive criticizm! ^^

One day, I'll post a full-scale image of a drawing I do, sometime. 3000 pixels tall, or something. XD I'm just worried about people taking the art for their own.

Deathlyambience In reply to Kojichan [2004-08-24 23:04:17 +0000 UTC]

X_x;; yes, that may be a problem. Some artists that are either afraid of art theft or have experienced it before put a translucent text over it stating the copyright information. But the problem is, it doesnt matter what size, people can still claim the art for their own no matter what, even if it does have a watermark I'm afraid...

Very cool! Yeah I agree with AmyRose1, it looks very very clean! as apposed to my very horrible looking junk. U.U I can never do the Sonic style coloring or whatever... I'm not even a sonic artist officially... ;~;

I've attempted bgs by hand/mouse but I really suck at it. I want a tablet! *runs off crying for no reason*

Kojichan In reply to Ayamaoko [2004-08-23 04:18:34 +0000 UTC]

I did the character's coloring by mouse. ;


The tablet is so hard to use. X_x; That's what I did the BG wth, and that's why it looks a bit off.

Ayamaoko In reply to Kojichan [2004-08-23 08:04:52 +0000 UTC]

Well I've used one before and I find it much nicer then a mouse.


It gives you a greater range of movement..

Nothing about the picture really -.-; i was just kinda upset cuz I was going to buy a tablet this week and can't now cuz people needed money from me.

*sigh* why am i so giving?

But for being drawn with a mouse it is really top notch! ^_-

I'll be honest. When I saw the title I thought WTF?! Since my only fan Hedgehog is called zephyr, what a way to scare me early in the morning xD

I do like this though, you have certainly cracked that SA style well for the character though it is admittedly odd given the style of the background. ah well :3
