Description
--------------------

"...I could probably do this all day".
Or so he said. XD

Well, I'm back from Florida, and this was a little something I sketched while over there. Finished it up at home, and here it is. Eh, probably could have done a little better on this (especially with the buildings), but I was really eager to post this, so I kinda just did something quick. XD I had the angles for the two front buildings done at 45° angles, but now I see that that was probably too much. . I guess applying technical drawing skills from engineering class dosen't go too well with art XD

So just a little something to show I'm back. Enjoy!

Victor : Well of course Nathan you can do that all day! Your practically the embodiment of a slinkie. XD

don't know if I spelled that right but I do love everything about it from the background to the colors and line work. Although you are right the building does look a little steep.

In this case, Victor is talking to the character Nathan, you are talking to me. XD

Hello from ProjectComment !

I don't know a whole lot about Sonic and surrounding lore, but I still think this a nice picture. The lines are good and clean, and I think that the color scheme fits pretty well, even if it is a little bright for nighttime. 

I don't think that the city background is too bad...it definitely does look stylized, but still works. You could make the near buildings' angle a little less steep, but I don't think it needs it badly. If anything, I would just like to see the lower part of the background filled out a little bit more. It kind of looks like there's a hole in the world right there. It might also help to lighten the far buildings a little bit, in order to make the character stand out more.

I think that one thing that would be to add a sort of gradient to the sky, adding a little more color for visual interest. There's some variation as it is, but it would definitely look cool to add some other colors...maybe a change near the horizon to indicate the city lights?

I hope this is helpful!

Thanks a bunch for the comment! ^^ Greatly appriciated.

Yeah, I even pointed out in the description that the angles were quite too much. XD I see what you mean with that missing gap. Originally it was gonna be filled in, but it didn't really look right to me in the way I was doing it. I did try using two diferent shades of black for te buildings and my character, but when editing, it kinda blended them together. Which is why I added pencil outlining my character's body so that he could be distinguished easier.

Hmm. Interesting idea. I may keep that in mind for future pieces. Thanks a bunch!

I don't think you should feel bad about the buildings. Granted it doesn't look natural, if you hadn't mentioned it I would have thought it was just a stylistic choice  

The colours are great and bright, but it feels like the character blends too much with the black buildings. Maybe make the buildings a very dark blue or violet? Darker than  the front buildings that is.

Oh, why thank you! Just need to improve a little on perspective, that's all. XD

I see what you mean. I wanted to make a silhouette of the buildings, which are usually black in turn. My character has a black body, so yeah XD That's why I had him outlined in pencil.

I really like the background. It's stylized and it kind of reminds me of the backgrounds from the original Power Puff Girls. The colors are really striking, and while the background and the character share a lot of colors, it was really smart for you to place the character in red clothes against the blue sky to make sure he doesn't get lost. The lines in the background are also very clean without being dull. One thing that's a little odd is that the moon is practically grey and has no glow, even a stylized one. 
Also, your character doesn't seem to be shaded in any way. It doesn't have to be anything too complicated, just some simple flat shading bluexcanary.deviantart.com/art… using the moon as a light source.

Thanks. Heh, I can kinda see it, now that you mention it. XD
The red clothes are his normal attire, so he'll be just fine. You can thank a ruler for the clean lines too. Yeah, I had difficulty maintaining the moon as I was finalizing this pic, nothing could be done to change it.  

Thanks for the feedback!

I like this image quite a bit. Although Sonic and Sonic OCs are not my cup of tea, I still really like how you did this! The night sky has the sort of splotches that give it, well the "sky" look. The moon is perhaps a bit off colour-wise, but the shape of it is very nice! Also, I feel like it might have a little two much of a border in comparison of everything else in the picture. As you mentioned in the description, 45° angles are perhaps a little too much, bu the building itself is very well done! The red on the one side is a little bit strange, but it does have a nice contrast overall. Finally, the face on your character has a lot of emotion! My only complaint is that it seems to not have a nose, or any bump resembling one. I'm not sure if this was intentional or not, but I thought I should mention it! Overall, great job!

I'm glad you like it. The splotches in the sky is a result of my blue Sharpie leaving that "overlap effect", but I'm glad it makes it greatly resemble the night sky. Yeah, I can see that too with the moon. Sadly as I was making edits to the pic, it kinda discolored the moon, throwing it's color balance off. Nothing I can do to fix it.

Definitely not gonna do 45° angles again for buildings XD It's supposed to be orange How does it looks rather strange to you?

The part with his face actually is intentional. I've already come across others who get confused over it XD
