Super Sonic vs. Perfect Dark Gaia

At the very end of Sonic's world adventure, he finally takes grasp of the reinvigorated Chaos Emeralds, and prepares to lay the beast before him to rest. Dark Gaia's influence spreads rapidly around the panicked planet, and while the shroud of darkness might be persistent, there is one light it cannot vanquish...
...the light of Super Sonic!

Production Notes:
- May 30th, 2011: Complete redo. Not a single element was directly taken from the old version, so it's all new. Composition's mostly the same, but detail, shading, form, all those things have been spruced up.

If I were to keep blabbing, all I'd be talking about is, "Oh, this element sucked in the old version, but now it doesn't anymore," over and over.

Concept - Sonic Team
Piece - *Hazard-the-Porgoyle

This was very well done. I like how you put him between two meteorites (like the ones that he must dodge to reach Dark Gaia's eyes in the game). Sonic just looks great.
Your depiction of Dark Gaia (or, more accurately, Perfect Dark Gaia) was done amazingly. You caught the fiery, almost demonic light in his eyes, the alien thinness of its arms, and (from what I can see past the light that Super Sonic is emanating/shedding) the dark, evil quality of the energy that forms Perfect Dark Gaia's tentacles.
Overall, I would say that this is one of your best pieces. Maybe even your absolute best. Nice work.

What strikes me the most about this picture is actually the angle. It really seems like I'm zooming along with Sonic as he's on a collision course with another one of Dark Gaia's eye balls x3 The coloring is great and the energy shedding off Super Sonic as he's flying is well done as well.
From what I'm seeing, the spacing of Sonic's shoes is bothering me, but the blinding gold bubble may just be making it hard for me to tell his true pose e.deviantart.net/emoticons/s/s… " width="15" height="15" alt="" title=" (Smile)" />
At any rate, the angle of this one is perfect, and this is a good representation of the final boss of our hero and the incarnation of evil >:3

Cool work!Β Ya know just imagine if he were in "Star Wars Rebels" I know he would make one POWERFUL ALLY to Phoenix Squadron by taking out a WHOLE IMPERIAL ARMADA OF START DESTROYERS!!! (Like he did at the start of "SONIC UNLEASHED"!)Β

Wow, your technique drawing your scenes are simply amazing! It must be very hard to draw Dark Gaia perfectly, however... You have captured the scene of the final battle very well, I'm giving my hat.

Also one more thing, Perfect Dark Gaia had two eyes at top the of his head like his first form, but that's the only flaw.

You are indeed right. (Looking at my refs now, I can see I got a decent number of things wrong with that head shape.) Should I find myself editing this piece in the future, I'll certainly address that. Good eye.

It depends on what you have in mind. I cannot take time away from other projects to draw new assets, but if you wanted me to package something I've already drawn for your purposes, that should be okay. (Something like using the Perfect Dark Gaia render here for a loading screen or something.)

Fliqpy1234 [2012-06-21 15:55:59 +0000 UTC]

I felt both fights were lacking in some form, the PS2/Wii version was...basically the same thing repeated 7 times with slightly rising difficulties. It was too short and repetitive, but it was fun.

The PS3/XBOX 360 version was much bigger with larger 3-D aspect. However, the thought that you simply fight mini Gaia snakes instead of Dark Gaia's actual eyes is kind of a let down, but the fact that Sonic has a health meter, rather than a ring meter is a good switcharoo as apposed to losing rings continuously. This fight was very big, yet it was a bit on the boring side.


Anyways, your art is absolutely fantastic, everything looks like an updated remake of the fight itself, excellent job altogether

I think if the fight was combined (ps2/wii and xbox/ps3) This would have been the best sonic boss in the history of bosses. Even though this is my ultimate fave
But this picture is Astonishing!

Sorry to be inmature, but "I've seen enough Hentai to know were this is going."

You really did an amazing effect on everything in general, but what looks awesomely awesome is the effect on Gaia's eyes, the fire on his head, and the lava. The only thing is that could only make this better would be Chip fighting inside the shield. The boost effect on Sonic makes the picture more like the battle than ever.

You sir, should apply for a job in SEGA as a designer, and if you are not accepted then they can burn in hell!

Hazard-the-Porgoyle In reply to that-guy-is-it [2012-03-19 00:03:44 +0000 UTC]

Ah yes, good one.
I'm glad you liked the elements you did. I certainly had to plan them out quite well to ensure they ended up better than they did on an old version of this piece.
You're right about Chip being in the shield making for a better action scene, but neither he nor Sonic have made it that far yet. Also, I'm not sure if many people have picked up on it yet, but Chip technically is in the piece, even if all we can see is his arm.

Glad you like the result.

My gosh, I am just blown away with how perfect and dramatic it looks! Looking at all the details with the flying rocks, the lava, Super Sonic with his power blasting around him and Dark Gaia with his tentacles and that force shield around him!
The angle where Super Sonic zooms towards Dark Gaia is just really perfect and realistic!
The outlines, the colouring, the shadings and highlights, the effects, the tiny details and the background are just pure perfect, accurate and professional!
I am really in love and overwhelmed! I really want to applaud you with this and for your hard work!
