GOTTA GO FAST!!! Recently I’ve been experimenting with the ink bleed brush in Procreate as well as the colour curves, and its resulted in what I believe is the best Sonic art piece I’ve done yet!

Decided to do some illustration work from my fan fictions this one is an extract from chapter two of my current fan fiction Sonic and the Secret of Swan Lake where Sonic who is concealed in the village soon lays eyes on the Swan Princess Odette.

Did this bit of crossover art some time ago, based off an old crossover idea thats been rattling in the back of my mind for months. After watching the Swan Princess movies and rewatching and playing some of the Sonic games, namely the Storytelling series (Black Knight and the Secret Rings.) and Sonic 06. I wondered if I could make a potential crossover fan fiction about Sonic accidentally ending up in the world of the Swan Princess.
Plus some inspiration from the 2020 live action film helped in a way too.
Decided to get it down as a small fan art poster and it does show some potential and I may get it out as a story later down the line. It would make an interesting crossover.

Also Happy Anniversary Sonic!

Here’s a little art piece of the design for Sonic’s 2020 feature film been too see it twice, loved it, action scenes were awsome, and it really empathises one of Sonics traits that isn’t seen in the games, as far as, I know. Jim Carrey’s acting as Robotnik/Eggman was to a tee they picked the right guy for that role and Schwartz fits Sonic very well. Let’s hope he comes back for the games. I do hope this film gets a sequel.

Heres a latest iteration of my idea for Sonics movie redesign with a few alterations such as the shoes instead of Nikes this one has Vans shoes, inspired by some Sonic style Vans shoes I came across on Google a while back. I've kept a few elements of the old design such as an extra set of spikes on his back as I thought it wouldn't hurt to have some extra. Plus some of Sonics old designs had extra spikes on his back anyway. Otherwise it still maintains some characteristics of the blue blur we know and love. Painted in Clip Studio Paint Pro

I recently saw the trailer for Sonics first live action film and I must say the design Isn't quite what I had in mind I mean I know I’ve wondered what Sonic would look like in real life but that's just going too far. Thankfully thanks to the fans of the blue blur hopefully the movie makers will fix that issue.
With that in mind here's an idea I’ve painted up maintaining some realistic hedgehog features whilst keeping some nostalgia in the hedgehog we know and love.

In my spare time from doing Uni work I decided to do a piece I sketched up in using some leaks about the Sonic 2019 movie.Though I must admit the fur was rather difficult as well as the metal texture on the bridge. I’m still skeptical about the design for the film but I’ll hold out until we get an official trailer.

Since I have been learning new methods of digital painting I decided to try what I’d learned in this digital version of my 100 Mile Sonic piece that I posted on this very blog many years ago if you may remember.

Colour study and experiment : Sonic: by Hero Central:
Evening folks Alex here, sorry I haven't updated in a while I’ve had a lot to do at college and even setting up my personal blog for my portfolio. Luckily though I’ve got some time on my hands and decided to conduct a colour study on sonic and you can probably guess what game gave me the idea for this experiment if you look closely. This has also provided the chance for some experiments with paper texture.

Evening folks HC here, I’ve had a bit more practice with 3d lineless art and figured I’d post what I’ve done. These were based off old sketches that I’d done a while back.
On new matters I will be updating my current stories soon I haven't found the time what with attending to my auntie’s funeral and college work. However I have got another story in the pipeline of my own creation based off a sketch I did on the journey.

Well folks after some designing, style development and experiments heres a finished and developed piece of my Sonic Way Past Adventure project that I shall start soon with a small short story when I have the time between my current projects. This came from last minute redesigns of the characters and some style development. This is just for fun I take no Ownership of the characters.

I’ve just seen the recent debut trailer of Sonics 25th anniversary game named Project Sonic 2017. Whilst I was disappointed on this not coming to the WiiU gaming system I have to say the PS4/XBOX one graphics look good on sonic. Plus looking at the trailer I would guess the storyline maybe taking Sonic back to the SatAM roots hence the “Join the resistance” slogan at the end. However the introduction of classic Sonic is also a twist indicating it could be a sequel to Sonic Generations and makes you wonder if Sonic Boom sonic will be included in this. One disappointment though is when its coming 2017, after seeing this it makes me want it to come out sooner however time does make all things possible I can wait. As a wise man once said “ Patience is its own reward”. I also believe this could succeed where many claim Sonic boom Rise of lyric had failed, I hope this game will be a success and will carry on the legacy of the blue blur.
Heres a little montage to Sonic the Hedgehog as many years ago on the 23rd June he came into our lives and has grown into a great video game icon. I couldn't think of a better 25th Birthday present than a montage of every piece of sonic fan art that I’ve both posted on this blog and done in my down time. Crossover art, lineless art future story covers, Sonic Boom fan art the works. So Happy birthday Sonic and what ever comes next in either the game world or perhaps the world of the cinema he’ll be with us now and forever until the end of time.
I’ve recently been experimenting with lineless art for my Avenger watcher of the shadows comic pages and for a comic i’m doing for the heritage centre that I volunteer at on weekends. And what better test subject than my recently perfected Sonic fan design for Sonic Way Past adventure another of my comic projects. It also provided the opportunity for work in speed and lightning.
Ever since I got my digital software I’ve always wanted to try my hand at sonic riders art style and so after some research and sketching heres the finished result. As for the lightning I decided to add that as a personal touch. So do you think I’ve captured the riders art style?
