This is Mighty the Armadillo, for those of you who don't know My favorites growing up were actually Tails and Mighty, though the latter is pretty unknown nowadays, which I have no qualms about that at all. (actually, I prefer it)

So, I'm incredibly happy with how this turned out. Really the first time in my life I was able to render an image exactly how I imagined it in my head. I've also been looking at a lot of digital landscapes recently, so I was motivated to create something with a lot of color and depth.

Yes, that is Angel Island back there Though I have no idea what zone this is supposed to be, haha.

Actually something like this could be done in something as simple as MS Paint. That program also has the pencil tool

sweet! =X but I think I need talent most of all. And practice. I think i'm better at gymnastics or voice-acting than anything else

rontufox In reply to Mystic-LightsCx [2011-11-23 05:31:18 +0000 UTC]

Well don't sell yourself short! But definitely pursue improvement in the areas you want, whether it be art, gymnastics or voice-acting

Haha, I'm glad you appreciate this so much. This has got to be my second favorite Sonic fanart that I've made, but since no one really knows about Mighty, I don't get much feedback on it It's okay though. It's kinda my personal homage to childhood, haha.

And I don't think you're a loser. We all had our cartoon crushes lol

sorry for asking (i know it ain't my business and all)....but what IS your favourite art you've done?

rontufox In reply to Mystic-LightsCx [2011-11-19 16:17:16 +0000 UTC]

It's the The Cryptic Gem [link]

It's also the most popular of my Sonic stuff But I like it the most because I think it's powerful... I don't feel I've created anything that even compares to it even though it's been 8 months since I made it!

I agree he's a great character, though I don't mind him being outta the spotlight

dancinpencil In reply to rontufox [2011-05-08 02:29:29 +0000 UTC]

yeah I can see why they took him out. He's not really a needed character

rontufox In reply to dancinpencil [2011-05-08 02:43:51 +0000 UTC]

He may be a nice addition in terms of ability and character. I have no complaints for him being outta the spotlight mostly because I'm afraid his personality may be revamped, and him being my favorite character, I know I wouldn't take lightly to that There's rumors of him making a return due to a character popularity poll SEGA ran, but I'd rather him not just to avoid all the drama that's bound to come from it.

Aerobian-Angel In reply to ??? [2011-04-30 18:34:34 +0000 UTC]

This looks like it was made by MS Paint. And that puts Photoshop, SAI, GIMP, and any other art program to shame.
Definitely a fav from me. C:

rontufox In reply to Aerobian-Angel [2011-04-30 20:32:38 +0000 UTC]

Awesome, thank you. I did use Photoshop to make this--for the sake of keeping the background and the character separate as I made it--but I only used the pencil and eraser tool
