Description
Finished coloring it, my fingers feel a little numb from trying to get the background colors to blend. But overall, I am proud of how this turned outSecond time trying out shading and lighting combined. I think it looks okay. I barely notice the lighting on the finished one. But when I put the finished one with the shading only version that's on my computer next to each other, I notice the difference.
Okay the rest is basically from the lineart submission of this, its the background story. I edited it alittle, so go ahead and read it if you want. In case you forgot what happen before this, here is a link of Oro vs. Nero [link]
Background Story-
As Nero grabbed Oro by the throat and lead him toward the edge of the cliff, Menace tried to get in to fight Nero. But, Erebus stopped him in his path. It was too late, on Erebus's command, Nero let go of Oro. Oro felled down the cliff, slamming his body onto the rocky walls as he tumbled. Oro was as good as gone and Erebus knew it.
But unknown to Erebus, Oro was saved from suffering any more damage by a warp ring. It was Prospera who saved him. As she attended to Oro's wounds, Menace decided to take his chance to defeat Erebus and Nero. Menace did all he could, but it didn't seem like he was making any progress.
After Oro was healed, Prospera made him an offer. Either stay between universes and away from the destruction of Orbis by Nero, or continue to fight. Oro didn't want to leave his friends, so he decided to fight. However, if he was to go back again, he would only repeat the same mistakes. So, Prospera told Oro that in order to become stronger, he must use all of his Emeralds' power. Including the small birth gem that's on his forehead. Oro wasn't really sure how to use that one. In fact, he always thought it was useless, but he agreed that he should at least try.
Back in Orbis, Nero was about to give the final blow to Menace, but Oro appeared and saved him. There, Oro and Nero started fighting again. Oro became Super Oro again and tried to fight back. But he only failed at his attempts and Nero was once again winning.
Desperate to become stronger, something inside him opened up. Awhile back, Erebus gave Oro some dark powers and told him that someday, Oro will decide to use that. Oro refused to use it, but that dark energy was still lingering inside him. That dark energy started taking over Oro and transformed him. His eyes turned completely red, his teeth became sharp, and all of the emeralds seemed to fade to a darker shade. Oro was now faster and stronger, but he couldn't control himself. He seemed to be an equal match to Nero, but Oro would actually try to attack his friends.
Oro went after Mia. He was about to strike her, but Cookie helped Mia by trying to help Oro get back to his senses. Oro struggled but Cookie's kind words finally made Oro snap back to his senses. But, Oro collapsed to the ground. Erebus laughed and repeated a phrase that he told Oro and Menace before.
"Look at your 'king' now. I told you all.....," Erebus said as he looked at everyone, "Those who can't control the darkness, are bound to be controlled by it."
Once Erebus said that, a large explosion occurred where Oro was. Dust was everywhere, covering everyone's view of Oro. Once the dust settled, there stood Oro with a smirk on his face. Oro's fur color has changed from a golden yellow to a silver/white gold color. A blueish aura surrounded him along with small yellow electrical currents.
Oro has become Hyper Oro. And he was ready for another round against Nero and Erebus.

I love Oro's design! I really don't see him as a recolor (which one of my character is like.. ugh) And the story with it is really interesting! nice job!

Thank you . Yea I tried to keep his design sort of similar to how echidnas usually look in Sonic Style (In the Archie Comics and the game, Sonic Chronicles). But at the same time, did my best to give him his own look in a way. I like drawing echidnas, so I'm guilty of having most of my characters as echidnas

That looks awesome~!
I like the smoothness of the colored pencils there.

Thanks
The smoothness is all thanks to my no longer sore fingers. I had to try to blend it as best as I can, but at the same time, try not to wrinkle the paper. Took me forever . I recently found something in a store that would help though. Colorless Blenders pencils, hopefully that would help

This! is what ive been waiting for!!
It looks great bud! you have wonderful controlled intensity with this picture...as a hero should
the soft coloring job is nice touch ^^ next time try to darken the shadows a bit more to make it more dramatic....I believe the burn tool will help with that when you use color pencils...itll make it stand out more and give it more energy
keep up the good work!!

OrotheEchidna In reply to TheMonica180 [2009-05-03 05:42:23 +0000 UTC]
Thanks hmmm I was actually thinking about trying that. I might use this picture to practice on that when I get the time to do it.
What really made me had a problem was the gold. Might try to find a different gold color pencil. One that looks a little bit brighter.
But Thanks , I've been practicing a lot lately in my (rare) spare time. Mostly practicing shading. This is actually the second time that I attempted to do lighting.

Actually I found out that when your trying to color gold...the best way is use just plain Yellow, and then shade it in ^^ but of course leave a line white for the "shine" ^^

That shading.
I must touch it. D:
I just love how there is a light blue aura to go with the grey on Oro. c:
And the blengy-ness of the background looks so pretty. >u> The BG looks like it was watercolored. xD

OrotheEchidna In reply to venomous-cupcake [2009-05-02 19:51:13 +0000 UTC]
Thanks
I think I sort of messed up on the light blue aura, but I put it there because for some reason, it seemed like they match pretty well.
And thanks, that background actually turned out well. I barely do any background on my pics, but I felt like this picture needed one when I was finished coloring Oro and the aura.
It kind of does look like it

Welcome. xD
I didn't think you messed up on the aura. Unless you're talking about the brown smudges that I just noticed. >u>;
I don't do many backgrounds for my pics, either. XD becauseIstinkatthem.

OrotheEchidna In reply to venomous-cupcake [2009-05-02 20:47:50 +0000 UTC]
those brown smudges were actually from the gold color pencil. It was sort of difficult to even shade the gold Plus the fact that I'm not using good color pencils for this. I'm trying to save up for better quality ones soon.
But yea, that's where I mostly messed up
I'm not really sure if I "cant" make background, I'm just too lazy to actually make them

Oh. xD
May I ask what kind of colored pencils you use?
I mostly use Crayola and Prismacolors. >u>;
For me, I just suck at making backgrounds.
I really need more practice making them. XD

OrotheEchidna In reply to venomous-cupcake [2009-05-02 21:04:49 +0000 UTC]
Sure, Crayola. I want to get Prismacolor pencils though I saw how expensive they are, but after using them in art class, I think its worth the money

venomous-cupcake In reply to OrotheEchidna [2009-05-02 21:32:43 +0000 UTC]
I actually like Crayolas. They're not a grainy as Prismacolors.
But Prismas are more blendy. xD;
