Happy 22nd BIRTHDAY, SONIC THE HEDGEHOG!
Today is a very important day, as it marks the beginning of an era and the start of something world changing! 22 years ago, an icon was born...
And because of him, my life is drastically different than it ever would've been otherwise!
SO! This one was a lot of fun to work on, it was hand drawn first, then after I scanned it the rest is all large scale pixel art, basically. I did some small scale ACTUAL pixel art in Sonic's eye and on my shoes, but everything else was done using selector tools and the paint bucket (other than correcting). A couple of fun facts with this one:
First off, YES! That is ME racing with Sonic! I know the angle on the head is a little extreme, so you can't really get a good look at my face, but it's pretty accurate. YES, I have grey hair in my beard. I'm only 25, I dunno what to tell ya. Always been that way. I kinda like it... makes me look... deceptively distinguished. Heh.
SECOND! This is the first full on picture I've drawn using the official style! You may have noticed that the Shadow piece I posted was also very "official" looking, but I actually started this one (and finished it) first. I was saving it for today though, cuz YES! I've been working on this style a lot, and I've gotten pretty good at it, I'd say! It's definitely different than my personal style! Don't worry though, I'm not giving up on that style, I just want to be a little more marketable, so to speak.
THIRD! That cosplay I'm wearing. I'm working on it! The shoes are SO CLOSE to being done... and the are turning our AMAZING... I'll show you guys pics when they're done! The outfit itself is gonna take a while, but I have most of the materials needed to make it. I just need to do a little more learning before I try to start sewing things together... I'll make a mess of it if I try right now.BUT IT WILL EXIST!
And that's about all I can think to say in this piece! Happy birthday, Sonic (and also Egggman, cuz people forget he came around on the same day), wish we could celebrate together! Here's a cake, have some fun, I have to go to work.
Sigh.

keep running 'till the end
I gotta move and stay one step ahead
Stay back and watch me go
the only way I know
Cause nothing's gonna slow me down (oh no!)
sit down and watch me pass!
Doin my best to stay ahead of you!
Oh wouldja catch me?
You'll never pass me!
Because I think I know a trick or two!
