Description
Thoughts: Here we see Julian Robotnik engaged in some form of discussion with this catlike individal, whose facial expression we cannot see: is it one of concern, attentiveness, or worry? The marks on Julian's pauldrons appear rather like those found on his War-Minister uniform, but their exact implication is unclear. Furthermore, Julian's expression seems quite level and anticipatory, in a serious sense. (I should note that it was meant that Julian be leaning rather heavily to his one side, such as to put his weight on his gesturing arm - perhaps in a conciliatory pose? His girth would detract from his ability to lean on any table, I imagine.) Lastly, it's curious that the cat is making use of a stylus and ink, in addition to it's other surrounding effects - such as the coarse fabric of it's enveloping clothing, and the woodgrain table.

Details: A simple sketch later became, through simple force of and use of media, a reasonable sketch. Largely dabbling with ink, watercolor, and graphite. Pose, concepts, and atmosphere all results of haste.

Materials: mechanical pencil, blue col-erase, watercolor, 6B square graphite/round stick, and black ink. Canson sketchpad paper.

Cynicide: Due to misplacements and reworking of the sketch early on, there are multiple inconsistencies in the basis of the image. My primary concern is the lack of mass/volume which Robotnik possesses, largely due to perspective difficulties. Second, my aptitude for rendering cloth, and cloth over forms, is quite poor. Capturing the appearence of fur and hair is another matter entirely.
