Wow, I'm super impressed! O.O I could never get a decent quality with no lines... blech, but I think yours looks fantastic! It's so realistic!

Now if you seriously want me to pick some critique out of this I'd really only say a few things. First off the foreshortening is great! But what would it look like you you scewed his arm a little more? Maybe make the arm portion we see just a tiny bit shorter... not sure how it would look but worth a try. The only other thing I'd suggest is that his foot looks a little too round, and the perspective in regards to the other foot is just a tiny bit off. I would either lengthen the one in the background, or shorten the leg in the foreground. I would also, in an image with this kind of mood, maybe make the folds of his socks a little bit more jagged, and maybe tone down the white a little bit, because it competes a little with the overall glow from the rings. But hey these are just suggestions.

Other than that I'd say your lighting technique is top notch, and the image has just a fantastic feel to it. The shading on Sonic's chest is great and it adds that perfect bit of "dimension" so we actually feel his ribcage is there. And you even have the subtlest hints of a shoulder and a little muscle there, and I like it. Sexy. The expression is great too. We get too little of this degree of intensity from Sonic these days. :/

Very damn good, way better than anything I could do.

I can't tell you how many times I tried messing with his arms and legs. Nothing else looked decent. It was a screwy pose to begin with.



Thanks for the big long comment. Definately some of the better feedback I've gotten. And thanks for the fav, too.

Oh geez, I can't tell you how much time I might spend on one stupid arm. It's rediculous. D:

No kidding.


Oh yeah, I also had to erase half the body to make it to where it would like he could stand up that way. I suppose thinking ahead would help, but that's too much work.

Thinking ahead is overrated.

Dude. That's...... awesome! Very impressive work, Blade. Nice job with the linelessness and foreshortening (is that what kids are calling it these days?)! I don't have much to critique, except for some nitpicks - I would have made the shoes and socks bigger, and the shoes redder and with a sole. And I'd make his irises more narrow, aka less round.

All in all, awesome job, hands down. I'm glad to see that one of us is doing art.

You just keep on trying till you run out of cake.

Very cool. I like the lighting, and the pose is great. Foreshortening for the win!

Nothing to add critique-wise that hasn't been said already.

The emotional look on his face is great, the lighting around him is well detailed, shading is good and the colour is superb.
