Sonic the Hedgehog by Clutch45 Sonic the Hedgehog by Clutch45
Well, here it is! Sonic is now 20!

This is my piece for Sonic Project 20! [link] It hath been accepted, and I couldn't be more happy with it. I actually finished it several months ago, but I wanted to wait to post it till the DAY OF, so here ya go! My first attempt at cell shading, and let me tell you, it was hard. I absolutely love the outcome though!
I would make it my official style, but it just takes TOO LONG! This took me well over 6 months to finish, so yeah.

After this, I only have ONE other cell shading piece, and then I think I'll save it for special occasions.

Happy 20th, Sonic!! I wish I had an X-Box!
*EDIT*
DOOD, I can't even tell you how happy I am that Sonic Generations came out on Steam... I love it so much...

Great job! This looks like a really great piece of artwork! ^_^ =D The colors and shading are amazing and so is the design and pose. :3 But I have to say...something seems wrong with Sonic's left hand (right in our perspective.). I believe that the thumb is in the wrong place. But besides that you did an outstanding job. :clap:

Hmm. It was drawn freehand (heh), so I didn't have any reference. Lessee...
After looking at my own hand and making many poses as similar to that as possible, I see what the oddity is. It's actually almost all the fingers, truth be told... it's not that any of them are in the wrong place, it's that if the pointer's stretched upward that high, the other four wouldn't be able to stay so tight. The closer they get to the pointer, the looser they are, and the thumb should be aimed a little more upward for the same reason. On the other hand (not his other hand, I mean metaphorically {HEH}), in order to keep his other fingers that tight, the pointer can be pointed (HEH) a bit more forward.
</end over complicated, somewhat unnecessary anatomy lesson>
AHEM

I never would've noticed that, thanks! I will keep that in mind next time, for sure!

I want to congratulate you for having this picture of Sonic you made being accepted! You defintiely deserve it! :manhug:
I am completely in love with this Sonic picture here! His pose and expression are really outstanding! :boogie: :thumbsup:
The shines on his eyes are really amazing! :wow:
I just completely love the colouring, the shadings and highlights, the effects with the dust flying under his feet and the tiny details on him! All of it is just so perfect, mind-blowing, breathtaking, phenomenal, accurate and professional! I really want to applaud you until my hands go red! :clap::clap::clap::clap::clap:

awesomeness! i really like the angle of this; it's unique, i don't think i've seen him drawn quite from that angle before. and the perspective looks like it was a challenge! i also really like the little dust trails.
Reply
:iconclutch45:
Clutch45 Featured By Owner Jul 2, 2011
Yeah, the angle was cool! It was required for the collab that I was submitting it to, so I was forced to rise to the challenge! THOSE DUST TRAILS! They were the first thing I shaded, and MAN they took nearly as long as half of Sonic did! But I REALLY like how they turned out! I'm glad you like it!

Ha ha! Thanks a bunch! Well, because all my friends have that, and thus I'd be able to play with them online. Also, there are some X Box exclusives that I wanna play too.

The only good ones imo at least, are Halo and Gears of War. Thats when I had a Xbox before it broke, (Red Rings) and so I stuck out with the PS3.
Reply
:iconclutch45:
Clutch45 Featured By Owner Jun 28, 2011
Ah, well, actually I don't like either of those. I have totally different taste in games than most people... Also, I don't remember what they're called! I'd like to play Heavenly Sword, despite it being so short from what I hear, but that's the only one that I can think of at the moment.
