Description OOF I love Sonic Riders and the art style, it's just appealing and aesthetically pleasing.

Tom was supposed to be the first since I haven't even designed a board for this girl but OH WELL I wanted to draw her today
I've really debated on it and am kinda digging the name Wire/Cable? Or something similar?? The name really fits her physical build -- wiry and strong -- and her abilities, being able to act as a conductor/grounder, and just... OH MY GOD IT FITS?? I'm just not sure since someone mentioned it in reference to another character and now I'm not sure I wanna use it anymore eyyy, the first time I decide on a name and someone's comment has destroyed my confidence ~.<.~
Ehhhh I'll give it a bit to rumenate, but I really like it ughhhgghh and I'm so picky about names, it was one of the first choices, though, and I tend to go back to those.

ANYWAYS

SONIC RIDERS. One of my favorite Gamecube games and one that I rented and never owned. Sad life. So I sat down with my brother and we powered through in one day and had fun messing around until we had to return it, almost ten years ago now isn't it?? UGH
Gonna digitally download every Sonic game I can, one or two a month, on my PS4 and LIVE LIFE TO THE FULLEST.
ONCE THE SEMESTER ENDS

MOVING ON

This took over two hours since I was being a perfectionist, and it's only a half body. It took another two hours to put it here on dA eyyyyy, everything goes on Sonic Amino first. My page there is "I can't see" if you're interested in WIPs and extra details.
Hope to do full ref eventually, though I probably will just do my generic style, or a mix? Strictly Riders takes a good chunk of time to look good, and drains me

NEXT UP, ADVENTURE?? The shading and eyes for that style are so HARD but I love it ugh. She wouldn't really fit into that style of game, since she can't fly, doesn't have a mec and doesn't run at SANIC SPED, but I love mimicking all the Sonic Styles. 
If not Adventure, I can always go to Classic since all of them need that, and it could be based on their old designs (in part for Tom and the Raccoon at least, not cable the Badger here).


DIFFERENCES
The main differences between regular and Riders are
    The Shirt: different design
    The Gloves: Inverted colors
    The Shoes: not shown
    The Goggles: These aren't her main goggles and just have colored lenses, the top one being a seperate layer to keep them from reflecting too much light. She wears these during competition and challenges, as her regular lenses are especially made for blocking out light during building and constructing and so are too dark to wear in regular situations.
    The Hair: Her bangs are actually dyed white, and fade over time. In this situation she hadn't re-dyed them in time for the competition and so only have a slight bit left in the middle. Her board and travel plans took over all the time she had and so forgot about it.


Extreme Gear: Board and Shoes
Type: Power type
Exclusive Gear: Blast Board - sacrifices basic speed in favor of short rapid fire boosts, can be tricky to control
Can Use: Power and Speed gear (too heavy for flight gear)
Current Team Name: n/a
Current Team Members: Tom (Flight) 
Side: Neutral, though in the first race they're going against the "villains"
Specific Board Stats: Unavailable as of this time

In her time (shortly after Sonic Riders series) the Grand Prix have simply gone on as a means of prestige and fame. The riders compete for the fan's support and fight to win the races in record time, and those that win are known all over, and have a chance at prestigious prizes and exclusive gear.

Unfortunately not everyone can make it on time and the teams aren't always full, and so she drags Tom, who came to be a spectator, onto the team to fill one of the empty slots since she showed up without a plan and without a care! She was going to compete in the single's competition but one of the teams really pushed her buttons, talking down on her board (which she made herself, not just an improvement), and she's ready to SHOW THEM WHO'S THE BEST!
So in the short time that's left they need to drag in a third member, teach Tom how to balance and SOAR THROUGH THE RANKS!

Yooo yeah I really enjoyed it!!
The second was ok and I enjoyed that as well, but the XBOX Kinect one wasn't so good and kinda killed it, which was sad. I remember playing the demo or whatever and being sad that the controls were so bad haha
Awaiting the day that we get a fresh new Riders style game again! It was a fun break and interesting style for SEGA to try out for Sonic

Let's hope it's controller than kinect, the kinect is just stupid to another level and deserve to burn for existing. Besides that now I know what I'm drawing for the rest of the week

Yeah, the PlayStation Move might work, or they could always sell a board like the Wii Sports thing did. There's so many possibilities now!

And glad to spark some creativity, best of luck in your art endeavors!

Playstation Move may work, but I prefer using a board like you said when the Wii had that, just imagine using a VR as an option, that'll be awesome!

Well I better start on a few rough sketches to warm up, I haven't drawn in a while from life
