Description
----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------I thank the groups wanting to feature this, but to prevent disappointment/expectations for more pages, this will be featured only in my personal gallery

Everyone, let me introduce you to the piece that destroyed my wrist for a few months~ and I didn’t even finish it!
Never again, pixel. Never again.
Posting this gets it off my desk and my chest so to speak, since I was forced to forsake it the moment I created it because of my wrist. Also it won’t nag me anymore when I work on my original stuff, which is the direction I wanna go for a while.
-Panel 1 is a nod to S3&K, hope you recognize it
-That “SPEED!” thought caption is so horrid, please ignore, I was planning on using a more dramatic font/size/etc but never got to it.

Whoah, I really love the colors you use! Your decisions when choosing colors are really clever and correct, your 3D, all the effects... Everything is fantastic!

Actually I don't remember myself what possessed me to make it so colorfully explosive, or how I did it... lol I think it was mostly stream of consciousness color doodling, not planned at all.

Oh shoot, I never saw this comment!
I intended it to be a comic, but doing this first page in pixel killed my hand, and after I recovered I wasn't interested in making it anymore

Aww too bad, it would've been outstanding as a comic.

That pic actually partly inspired me to do something, my comic Chaos Impact.

I find it amazingly hard to draw Sonic the way I like it at all. I always get the proportions wrong, the head is too big or the body is too small. I have no idea how to position the legs and the arms.
Argh. One day I will be able to draw Sonic, one day.

Don't worry there, you're in good company. If it wasn't for being able to scale and shift proportions via photoshop, my renditions of Sonic would be atrocious 
Something that did help me though, is I took a screenshot of Sonic from the CD opening just standing normally (since that's the style I was interested in learning). Then I used photoshop to map out the proportions with simple shapes on a new layer (circles for the head and body, lines to indicate where limbs begin and end). It really helped me break it down!

Wow! Thanks so much! I didn't expect such a lengthy response! Thank you.

Asdfgh AWESOME! man I love the style here, kinda surrealistic.. colorful and principally Sonic like! Well, like the ol' ones!
Good job indeed!

Thanks! I was definitely going for the sort of surrealistic feel found in the Genesis games. They certainly made incredible use of color!

Rontu, this is... gorgeous
It's amazing how beautiful you make pixel art look
The smoke or-how-you-would-call-that-cloud in the last panel is so well done, I'm actually jealous at how 3D looking it is, in it's own way.
You. have. to. make. MORE! I want more pictures like this 
On other note, why the HECK haven't I already watched you? You're amazing!

D-duuuudddeeee! 
Personally this is one of my favorite Sonic pieces from you, not only cuz its in outer space, but of how much movement is created in on the canvas 
But in my opinion, my favorite of them all is the third panel

Thank you so much sapphi 
I should mention that I almost never pick the colors you see in my work. I always end up picking horrible colors lol, but "glaze" over them to change the hue using the fade brush tool. So with the smoke, to get those colors, I started with lavenders and then glazed over areas with bright lime greens and used the fade brush tool to change the intensity

Cool! Great colors, and even as a stand-alone it really builds up an exciting story!
