Description My first lineless digital painting This took me a good three days to finish...now I have a headache, but I think it was worth it in the end.

I remember reading something about different representations of the Sonic characters. Sonic would be represented by the wind due to his speed, hence the title Kaze meaning Wind. I made up the verse myself, though part of it is inspired by the cartoon opening song lyrics.

I didn't actually intend to make this lineless, but as I was painting it I decided it would look much better that way. The sky took ages to get right, but as that was part of the main focus I think it's time well spent. I'm also on a bit of a sky painting kick right now. The hand was the other thing that took a lot of time to get right, I had no reference so if the lighting's not right you know why.
I didn't expect it to look so pastel-like, but it works well in my opinion. Feel free to challenge that of course

Detail shots: 1 , 2 , 3
Work in progress shots are in my scraps.

I'll put up the event file if anyone wants it, but be aware it's 8.27 megs and VERY long to watch.

Media: Open Canvas, PSP7 for lens flare and text

Your artwork is really impressive. I could never pull off what you do. Rating you out of ten would be an 12.

[walks away waving] I'm watching to many people right now, so maybe I'll watch you later.

Is there some rule stipulating that copyrighted content/characters cannot be sold as prints? If so, that's a damn shame, and if not, WHY IS THIS NOT AVAILABLE AS A PRINT!!!?

Magnificent perspective, sir, and, as my predecessors down here\/ keep saying, that is one stunning skyscape.
Keep it up!!

funkyalien In reply to Isakawa [2007-11-22 21:32:26 +0000 UTC]

Unfortunately there is a rule saying I can't seel this since it's fanart (not that it's stopped fanarts from getting approved for sale but whatever). Otherwise this would definately go up for prints, as well as a few others. Ah well.
Glad ya like it though, I'm still happy with that landscape even now and I should really try something like it again sometime

No problem it's a great image. And once you finish the entire Sonic Advance 2, A ittle animation of Sonic running into the desert appears and the game shouts CONGRATULATION!!! Although it doesn't look at good as yours lol.

Wow, you've done an excellent job on this! The pespective is awesome and he looks so smooth. The sky also looks really detailed, and the 'Kaze..' in the corner is a really nice touch. I also love how you've made him more 'anthroish'.. if you see what I mean. Anyway, definite fave!
