====================================

WHAT I HAVE TO SAY

I simply love it. ^_^

I sketched it first-hand.

[link]

Then came the ‘inkage’ and the use of simple colouring pencils. ^_^ The brand is called COLLEEN and it's a double-sided set of colouring pencils. ^_~ Really cool.

Next thing I know, the page was in full colour. ^_^ I added some digital effects for the BG's, shadows and final two panels. ^_~

It took me around 4 hours for completion. The extra hour was to do with the colouring and finishing touches I guess otherwise it would've been three with original B+W shading. ^_^

I'm happy the way it turned out and I hope you guys will too. Thank you for your awesome patience!!! XX3


P.S. Oh... You may be wondering why I didn't show much of Knuckles... ;; That's because he fell into Fang/Nack's trap back at Wild Canyon remember?

[link]

Poor guy... Oh well he's still there on the small panel! X3 ^_~

One more thing! ^_^ Here are a few extras to show.

STORY TIME

The grin that shed on Shadow's face... His eyes drooping giving a smear expression... It was the look of confidence and esteem. Even Dr. Eggman was looking extremely positive and delighted of such awesome power the ARK has to behold. Rogue with her mouth wide-open has sparked interest to the whole proposal and definitely the possibilities of what her team can do with such weapon in possession.

Indeed the success of the Dark Team's threats had open to new doors to build an empire that'll rule an iron fist. They have added a new meaning to 'fear' in the dictionary.

Sonic and friends are at shock too of the event. Will they be able to tackle the opposition on time before it's too late? Will Earth face the same fate as the moon - the ultimate light source of nights?

Or will the hero’s kick butt and save the day?

Tune in next time on SA2 Fan-Comic, Page 152 - "The Fight's Just Begun". ^__^

You know, I first saw your comic on planet dreamcast last year..and wow, i'd never seen anything like that before..i mean...it was a proper sonic comic! XD You had me hooked, and read the comic over the span of 2 days..XD (lmao i didn't get a lot of time per day on the internet at the time, i still don't now. ><
I hadn't even played SA2 at the time yet, so this was kinda the guide when i did play it. X3

Then after a while i found your DA page..<3 *giggle* *SHOT*

I just wanted to comment on this one because this is my favourite page out the whole comic so far, when i first saw it all those months ago i was blown away! Just...so much colour. ^_^ It's a feast for the eyes. And the expressions are so brilliant.

always in gratitude for your comments and kind words, hope you're fairing up well at uni.
oh and yeah...*folds arms and smiles*..soon w'ere going to be even on the gift art front. XD

And you always do wonders with perspective. All the "camera" angles are fantastic. I love every single pannel. Heh--but the one in the center with Shadow and the greennessness is my PERSONAL favorite.

Ahhhh--what else can I saay? Absolutely outstanding.

Wow. The 150th page......Ahh.... its so breath taking bro! The colors are superb!

Hmm... this the first time you colored a panel huh? If so, this stuff really comes naturally to you! The texture of the colored pencil and the digital CG really go hand in hand. I especially liked the second panel!

So lets see December 20, 2001 to March 1, 2004.....
Thats about three years and two months since this huge project started! All with a total so far of 150 no wait.. 154 pages ^_^

I've been flipping back to the first page and started reading it over. You've improved so much bro.
I still remember about early 2002 when I took the first look of this comic. I was instantly hooked! Your comic really shown through the rest and it still continues to do so! ^___^

Congrats on the great Success bro! Here's to many more!

Marshmallows [2004-03-04 03:57:37 +0000 UTC]

Definitely worth the wait. The shading is awesome, and very neat I might add. Love the green glow in the second row, adds a little sinister touch to the Dark Team.

One question though: why is Sonic's nose and head profile in the box with Tails adn Amy when Sonic has a huge chuck of space just to himself?

I really have to admire your patience with this project. It's taken such a long time and you're still interested and determined to finish it.

Beautiful, just beautiful.
I thought you used Prismacolors on this!!!!! I love how you colored using colored pencils and still manage to keep the classic coloring style of SA.

The backgrounds you put in each panel dramatizes eveything a whole lot more.
First panel: The red, rough sandy, uneven background adds much suspence to the character's shock as well as their expressions.
Second panel: I love Shadow's expression in this!!!!! So smug. And Eggman just looks so malicious!!!
The glowing green really adds to the effect at how powerful the Eclipse Cannon really is.
Those panels were most impressive. ^^

THE COLORS, DUKE, THE COLORS. *Kicked*

Sorry.. I just had to say that xD!!

Anyhoo.. wow! O.O That's amazing! The colors are so.. vibrant and pretty! You really kept with the Sonic Team style as well ^.^ I always thought it was much harder to pull it off on paper than on computer.. but you colored it to that style perfectly!

I especially like the background on the 1st panel for some reason O.O Looks crayon-ey.. except of how.. effective it turned out. It really fits with how they're feeling, in my opinion ^.^ All.. dotty xD I can't explain! *Falls over*

I SEE KNUCKLES' FOREHEAD, TOO xD *Hit*

But yeah.. this page came out wonderful! It looks so dramatic.. and it's great that you did something different for you big 150th page ^.^ Congradulations on such a success! Till many more pages.. who knows what we'll see next once the big 200th comes =>

Your colored pencil skills are at the same time so close to your black and white ones and so different and unique! Probably because it has colors... Nevertheless, you did it greatly! You'll be able to rivalize with * mayshing in no time! X3

Couldn't help but to point that the expressions are very well drawn too. Me likes Eggman there. He's so... Eggman-alicious!

Wow! Coloured piece!!! This is awesome...the colours are so vibrant and attractive, it gave a lot of life to the picture and it looked so interesting and professional...Must have put a lot of effort into this...the expressions....either the heroes' worried and shocked expressions or the villians' happy expressions are all really well potrayed in the page(Eggman's pose lolz...remind me of Mr Burns(is that the right spelling??) from the Simpsons)....How u set your page up really shows that you put a lot of thought into your work...The panels and "camera view" are all nicely done especially in the last two panel where you showed the most important bits of information (that explained the expressions on the characters in the first two panels)

(Some suggestions that may or may not help and may and may not be right: I think the computer effects on the 2nd panel eats away some of the details of your colouring and drawing so maybe you should try another effect.......maybe a variety of different effects for the " sub-panels"in the first panel because the same effect makes it look a little confusing..O_o...(to me anyway))

Overall, great work!...With that little experience with the colour pencils, you could already produce something so good...you really are a talent at this *thumbs up*
