EDIT - Some more recent Sonic art of mine:

-

Amy Rose and Cream the Rabbit in their Sonic Riders gear. Cheese was also in the original sketch for this, but his presence took away a bit of the "girl power" vibe in it, and also, I can't draw Chao very well, and he proves it. There are a few differences between them here and in Sonic Riders, including (but probably not limited to): They're wearing their normal shoes/gloves, Cream isn't wearing a cap, Amy's top has a different colour scheme, Cream is wearing a t-shirt instead of a sports vest type thing, and finally, Cream has a smiley face on her top instead of a star. No idea where that came from, I honestly did remember her as having a star. A few other minor things such as the lil dangley thingies on Amy's trousers, Cream's... earstyle and erm... Amy's bust size are just artist's liberties. >_>;

Obviously, the fact that I can point out these inconsistancies shows I did look at the official art after I drew them, but I prefer pictures I draw to have a sort of "me" element to them, which is why I didn't change my personal differences. That, and I know Cream's hat would be a bugger to draw, I have enough trouble doing Mario's, and that doesn't come out that well anyway.

Oh, and if anyone asks how Cream's... erm, earstyle could possibly work in this considering it'd mean one ear is backwards and one is forwards, just bare in mind that like, rabbits can twist their ears around in any direction they see fit so like, it is possible.

I'm super pleased with this for three reasons:

I think the characters came out really well (anatomy-wise anyway) considering I used no reference, Cream looks so cute but at the same time slightly badass as if she's thinking all "Yeah, just TRY and beat me in a race, bitch", and finally, I love the dark-yet-bright background. X3

Finally, I also discovered when switching on Riders to check the official artwork on the character select screen, I accidentally selected Cream with the Grinding skates (think they're just called "Grinders" or something) and discovered Cream RAWKS with those, and they're orange, so they fit right in with her colour scheme. So yeah, out with Amy + Magic Carpet, in with Cream + Grinders for my character.

I just wish there were more courses. D= They should have made the GPs just four races long from City Course -> Cave Course too so they could make two more unlockable GPs of Desert Course -> Sega Course for Heroes and Babylon. I like GPs, they're more thrilling than just doing random Free Races. D= And Tag Mode and Battle mode are just lame so yah (well, Tag Mode is alright, although my CPU team mate is always super crap and can't keep up with me).

I've rambled on for long enough though, comments and critique appricated since I worked hard on this one.

Sonic Riders (c) Sega/Sonic Team

On a very final note, I've just realised I've finally broken out of the habit of doing slightly triangle shaped eyes on Sonic characters which I subconciously adapted from admiration of BrokenFarpoint 's awesome stuffs - which - alas he removed on his leaving of dA. D=

And on an even finaler note: Yush, it's my usual Broadstairs funky style I do when I'm away. X3
