Neo Metal Sonic... probably my favourite villain of all time. He's just so cool to me. Sega, why do you neglect him so  
This is actually a redraw of a drawing I did back in 2014. See the comparison & the original here: link

Hey, this is a really good pic of Neo Metal! I love the way you did the shoulder pads especially, the red under lighting is nice too! ^o^

It's kinda too bad, you missed this contest I held, it was all about drawing him! You totally could have submitted something like this!

Thank you so much! Neo is so special to me, he's one of my favourites.

I did notice that after having a browse around - I was like "aw damn, I totally could have entered". I'm not super active on DeviantART, neither am I really active in the Sonic fandom, so it was a total bummer I missed out :< but ah well.

You're so welcome! This is pretty cool! I like Neo Metal too, he's got a really cool design! I wish Heroes had a boss fight with him in this form before he turns into a mega robot dragon thingy. XDDDD

Oh, trust me, I understand. A lot of people I asked missed it because they aren't as active as I thought they were. But not to worry, it's an annual thing. Every October, I post a journal about who we're drawing, what the rewards are, and the end date. So if you're around in October or November (I extended it because I wanted people to have enough time XDDDD), then feel free to look me up and see who we're drawing!

This looks really good! I love the pose and the red light/storm. It makes it look very dramatic!

You are very welcome! And thank you, too! I'm really glad you like my work. I've been trying my best lately to master some of the techniques used in the official art.

No problem! And I noticed, it looks SO cool! I've always struggled with imitating another artist(s) style so its really awesome when I see someones art and it looks like it could be from the source material! I love it aaa :>

Thank you! I was really tricky to get the hang of. What I ended up going was trying to really analyze the official artwork. I printed off a few examples and drew guide lines over the characters then tried top copy exactly what was happening in the picture. Then I repeated the process without the official example until I felt I understood what was happen. Here is an example of my latest attempt: Classic Sonic and Metal Sonic Studies - Part 3

I try to think of artwork as a series of small problems. You have to solve each smaller problem to get the larger piece to look right. So when I studied the official artwork, I tried to identify all the small problems the artist faced and then I tried to understand why they solved them the way they did. I hope that makes sense. ^^

Ooh, I might have to try that out! When I try to copy an art style, I trace it and then immediately try and draw it on my own right after. It never came out looking right. I'll definitely give it a shot in the future!

Yes it makes sense - thank you for the advice you're really great!!!
