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.
"Sonic" and all other trademarks and trade names are properties of .

Awesome that you think so, I really wanted page one to hit the ground running (figuratively and literally haha) because of Sonic's speedy nature

Nic job, man. Like the colors, the background, and the little story of what Sonic's gonna do after the Death Egg fiasco of S2 and S3K. Like the beginning of a new adventure.

I don't get why your submissions doesn't show up in my list , but luckily I've seen favs, so I saw this because I find this pretty eyecatchy Xp. Love the pixelness here, and I think you definitly should continue with it, like FO'real
!
Great work as always rontufox !

You too?? Deviant is getting on my nerves, so many people have been telling me they aren't notified of my submissions But I don't know what to do about it, or how to fix it If I make a journal telling people to unwatch and re-watch me, I'm sure those who are actually having the problem won't be notified of the journal!
But anyway, thank you I do wanna continue it, but not for quite some time.

hmm, then u should probably report to those admins from deviantArt, they need to knwo this. Its really unfair to see that so many people don't get to see your epic art in time
Seriously, I think u should contact them

Thank you for suggesting that, I wouldn't have thought to do that even though it seems obvious I just finished making out a ticket to the Help Desk about it. Hopefully it'll get resolved soon

Well, Help Desk answered, and they said there's nothing that would cause watchers to not see my deviations. Unless they unchecked the "deviations" option when they went to watch me, which is highly unlikely cuz by default it's already checked. So, I guess there's no answer to this

Ulk, I'm really not comfortable with people undervaluing their work in my presence, I'm not sure how to respond to things like this anymore especially since my stuff has sucked for so long, only recently has it picked up. Don't think you're way below someone, especially me, cuz at a time they were at the same level as you, and even way below you.
And I love stuffing my work into groups, but this time I won't, just cuz I know people won't read the description and will get excited for more pages, and I don't wanna cause disappointment Thank you though!

I don't wanna to look like an total alien, but what the hell is "pixel", if I may ask?
Cool picture, though. Too bad your wrist hurts already... we won't see page 2 until a moment lol.

rontufox In reply to GraphicD-WannaB [2011-10-27 16:01:26 +0000 UTC]
Pixel is basically working with squares of color. If you look at this you'll notice everything is sharp, there's no blending, and you can see square-ish edges along everything. It's usually used for small art, like game sprites and such. All you need to make pixel art is the pencil and eraser in MS paint
No no no, didn't you read the description? Don't expect any more pages! In fact, don't even look forward to it. You should just erase your memory and forget you ever saw anything, despite the fact that I posted it for all to see! jk of course.
Anyway, nah, I made this 3 months ago, and my wrist didn't get back to normal til now. I wanna continue it, but not anytime soon, cuz my motivation has shifted to something else. I just wanna make sure people don't look forward to more pages, cuz that's not gonna happen for a ridiculous amount of time Thanks!

This is amazing, I am completely in love with the dust on the last panel. It almost looks liquid, it's gorgeous.

VERY nicely done, Rontu! (Why haven't I been notified of your MANY submissions? >:C) I love what you've done here and wile I will miss your iconic pixel style, I full-on support your choice if it means it step in improvement!
To be honest, I was thinking of the opening cutscene to Sonic unleashed with that first panel. XD

rontufox In reply to Aerobian-Angel [2011-10-27 05:38:46 +0000 UTC]
Uaagh, why are so many people not getting updates when I submit?? C'mon deviant!
Anyway, thank you. I too enjoyed working with pixel, at least the sketching process and the overall look of the final result. But I dare not touch it again after what happened lol. I really appreciate the support
Oh geez, I have no idea what cutscene you're referring to... how I manage to reference Sonic games that I've never played never ceases to amaze me lol.

Man, what I have to say I love about your style is, unlike most art digital art, it doesn't focus on the details of the line, but prefers to tell the true story and feeling by using the vast array of seemingly unrelated, but strongly intertwined colors.

rontufox In reply to DTrain2695 [2011-10-27 05:44:55 +0000 UTC]
........what you said... is exactly what I've been hoping my art does, and what I've been trying to accomplish. I'm so tired of caring about realism or details, I wanna express feelings or impressions and action through color and shapes. Thank you so much for sharing your thoughts, they really hit me in an incredibly way. I'm not where I want to be yet, but I'm loving this style so much, and knowing that other people see the same things in it makes me very happy.

DTrain2695 In reply to rontufox [2011-10-27 21:07:02 +0000 UTC]
...Hm, I couldn't help but smile at your reply. You are doing what has only been an ideal for me, and possibly other artists: You are, or at least seem to be, successfully expressing that deep, resonant feeling that we artists hold inside ourselves, and using your art to expand that feeling beyond yourself, yeah?
I may be off in the interpretation and that might not be the case, but at least that's what inspires me. There's a feeling, a vision that is so deep inside of me that cannot be expressed, and I want to be able to share that feeling clearly and resolutely with everyone, including myself, because it's like words lost in a haze for me. It's just that looking at your pictures I can't help but feel that your work is the more or less "realized" version of my aspiration are

rontufox In reply to DTrain2695 [2011-10-28 14:40:24 +0000 UTC]
No, you're not too far off at all. Ever since finding and exploring this style, I feel I've been expressing myself much more directly than before--not just what I want to say visually, but beyond that. It's been a really incredible experience for me recently, and I'm really thankful for all the people that encouraged and supported me through this style change. What I want to express, I express it almost exactly how I want to, and I've never been able to do that before.
I wish you the best in your artistic endeavors! The most important thing is to not stop, keep going, and always be trying new things. When I was in art school, I was making work that was the polar opposite of what I'm doing now. I wouldn't have ever dreamed that this is where I'd be feeling the most content and expressive so always be open to new ways of doing things.
