Description Lousy title, I know. I shouldn't even be awake right now, let alone submitting art. x_x;

This was dabbled together during a couple of hours I spent in Photoshop. During the time I was thinking back to the earlier issues of Sonic the Comic, and Knuckles watching the stars, waiting for his people to come home. I kind of always wanted to draw something about that, and this is what popped out. I need to do some proper STC art at some point. *thoughtful*

I had fun with it, mostly making up coloring techniques as I went along ( I always do that, though - experimenting is good ).

I can see plenty of problems with this, that "tree trunk" on the left there being the biggest irk for me, the other being a few anti-aliasing mishaps. And Knuckles looks too light... that may just be me, though.

The water/ice( you decide... x_x ) he's standing in was a bit of a mistake on my part. Once I'd finished doing the earth there, I couldn't help thinking it looked "underwater"... so I went with it. I assume Knuckles' feet must be getting pretty cold standing there. I also think he might be about to fall over. *laughs*

As for what the Island is floating over, originally it was supposed to be water, but after spending a day or so looking at it, I think it resembles sand a lot more ( hey, at least it looks like something! That has to be good, right? XD ). So, maybe the Island is passing over a desert. Well that's what I'm saying, anyway. >>;

Wow, I love the somber mood of this, but then it can also be a mood of anticipation. A lot of story possibilities with this and I really like the muted palette you used. Looks believable.

Really? I always thought they are a good thing.... in my culture you can wish for something if you see a falling star. You aren't allowed to tell anyone that wish though - unless you want it to lose it's power.

Yep, for most people falling stars are a sign of good luck, but I dunno, I saw a falling star and had awful nightmares for ages. =[ Life just ain't fair sometimes.

Well, maybe they actually do bring bad luck and people just don't realize it because they blame it on something else. Who knows. Maybe the black cats and latters are misunderstood too.

Wow... this is beautiful! The colours really make this look realistic.
Knuckles looks so lonesome... standing there... you can feel the silence... and the fact that you can't see his face makes it even better. It's not oftern you see art with the character facing away from the viewers... but it does give a nice effect.
I love that comet, and the water... and the sand.. and the trees. And I think the "Knuckles is overbalancing" thing is a nice touch... it makes it look like it's from another angle, which contradicts the trees, but that makes Knuckles stand out ^ ^

SUPERB! Yes, it has its problems, and I think Knuckles' overbalancing is the only noticable one. But you've really created a very serene feel. The scene is amazingly created and your use of colour really helps the mood. Fantastic!

Knucky! That's a beautiful scene, especially eye catching is the falling celestial body, a comet? I like the swirling air around it. The land around Knuckles is a bit confusing to make out, I can't tell what is what, I mean. But it does look good. You really did a fine job of keeping the light source of the comet and the terrain around Knuckles in sync, this makes it all the more convincing looking.

When I see that, him staring out at the sky, in thought, it gives his personality more ... soul?... than I'm used to seeing in the games. I adore that. Knuckles is the kind of character that I'd like to get to know about a little more, even tho he's already one of my favorite game characters of all time.

Poor kid, up on Angel Island all by himself.
