Description                 "Seven Rings in hand,
                Arrowed hearts, catch fire now!"

                Yep, another old idea I let sit around for some time.  But I had only sketched out a quick base/composition idea (stick figure base ), so everything after that was basically brand new.  I had two different pose ideas for Sonic that I couldn't decide on, one of the reasons I stalled on it aside from not feeling like dealing with drawing all the details. xD;  Plus I had other drawings I was more interested in at the time.  I just scribbled it out because I liked the idea and didn't want to forget it.  So yeah, the idea was started July last year.  Since I've been into completing some old projects I started on, with newer ideas out of the way, I decided to try this one next.

                I'll say this: this turned out way more detailed than I planned.  I had no ideas for a background, but then it's like, "YEAH, STARRY BACKGROUND TIME. 8D"  But of course, I had to add in other things, so I attempted adding in the moon and buildings to spice things up, and the sand of course.  Doing the effects and craters on the moon is still a challenge I'm trying to learn.  Working with flames is also fun to experiment with.  I gave Shahra the Yellow World Ring because I remembered that was the ring of joy.

                Drawing this made me want to play this game again, haha.  I only ever played it once some years ago, but I remembered being entertained by the story.  I recently picked it up again last week to revisit it a little.  I really liked it and thought it was cute, and kind of sweet.  "But Sonic's line about wishing for a mountain of handkerchiefs at the end was--" whatever.  Call it cheesy, but I thought it was sweet, and a cute nod to the little gag at the beginning of the game where he asks for a handkerchief after sneezing because of his cold, and Shahra covers him in a hill of them.   That was cute.  So it was a nice way to cheer her up referencing that moment when they met.  I really liked Sonic and Shahra's friendship.  After Unleashed, this one was probably second up the alley of one of my favorite Sonic games.  Something about the friendship stories, man.  They get to me.

-Drawn with tablet in Paint Tool SAI.  Concept sketched July 31, 2018.  Finished November 11, 2019.-

Um... Sonic you got a leak there 😂🔥
This so sooooo pretty to look at, the serene lighting on Sharah is lovely. 
I didn't have the patience for the controls of this game so I just watched playthrus 😋

He's got a fire going in his heart all right. xD  

Thank you so much, Tazi!  I really tried to mess around with the lighting in contrast to the nighttime scenery in this one.  To hear it's serene makes me glad since I want to achieve that peaceful look in my art.

Yeah, the controls definitely required patience, especially in some of the boss battles. xD

Not gonna lie, Darkspine Sonic looks pretty hardcore.

Nostalgia. The controls gave me pure agony, but the story, characters, atmosphere, uniqueness, and the music (as usual) made for an overall fun experience.

SailorMoonAndSonicX In reply to GalacticHypernova [2019-11-25 07:13:44 +0000 UTC]

HAHAAAH, the controls drove me nuts, too, I remember.  I remember I could NOT figure out how to beat the Erazor Djinn, and that was only in the first battle with him.  Ironically, the final battle against him was oddly much, much easier for me to do.  I don't even get why that was. x'D  But the rest of the game and some of the boss battles were hard for me to handle with the controls, aaaagh.  My arms were sore when I woke up the next day after I first played it from abusing the rapid, harsh shaking of the controller for Sonic's Homing Attacks.


But like you, I was drawn in by the characters and story.  That's what usually draws me into a game over gameplay.  It was a cute, fun little story, and I enjoyed it.

Thanks so much!  I went off of a tutorial I found here on dA years ago for fire.  It's been a long time since I've actually gone back and looked at it, though, so I just went off of what I sort of remembered learning from it.  It's proven very helpful to me over the years. 


Thankfully, it seems it's still up on the site!  Here it is:


Hope that helps!



When in doubt, references and tutorials are helpful!

It's been a while since I played through it.  It was like a one and done thing, but I remember I enjoyed it.  The controls made my arms sore the next day though, abusing Sonic's homing attacks.

I did pick it up a bit again one day earlier in the week though to revisit it a little.

That’s amazing that you played that game and have your arm sore, anyway, that game was the good old days.

Probably came from playing it for like 7 hours with my father Christmas night, LOL.   We took turns playing it, especially when it got hard for me.  But like I said, I abused the homing attack like crazy. xD


Yeah, it was fun.  I miss those games.

Awesome piece; the characters look gorgeous, and are very well painted. I think perhaps you could have made the background buildings a bit cleaner (some of the windows are a bit mis-shapen), but that's a minor point. The rest is fabulous; you're clearly a very talented artist.

SailorMoonAndSonicX In reply to cardgamerdebu [2019-11-23 21:36:32 +0000 UTC]

Thanks so very much!  Yeah, I was a bit concerned about the buildings.  I was a tad bit lazy with them, heh.  Buildings are not my strong point.  I should have put more time into them.   I appreciate the kind feedback!  I'm glad to know it turned out well nonetheless.  Thanks again! ;v;  It means a lot!

cardgamerdebu In reply to SailorMoonAndSonicX [2019-11-27 13:41:58 +0000 UTC]

You're welcome! I wouldn't worry, though - it doesn't ruin the piece. It's actually something that probably would go un-noticed by the average viewer - I'm just a particularly picky artist who notices these things. Having said that, it's always great when you know how to progress with your art style... it's when you stop improving and developing that the rot sets in.
