First artwork I ever did in Krita! Consider this a redraw of Team Sonic and Amy in the rain, except this time, I added Shadow, Rouge, Blaze, and Silver to the mix. Also consider this artwork for Sonic's 34th anniversary.
As I already told you about Sonic's, Tails', Knuckles', and Amy's umbrellas and rain boots, and Amy's raincoat from the 2024 redraw commentary, I gave Shadow a grey umbrella which was the best color I can think of since I don't want to provide him with reds or blacks because Shadow is not edgy. I also gave him dark blue rain boots with light blue accents, which I thought Shadow would wear, referencing his friendship with Maria Robotnik.
For Rouge, I gave her a purple raincoat with lighter purple accents, which references her Heroes and Prime outfits, and magenta rain boots with darker magenta accents, which also reference certain fanarts of Nails the Bat, who was Rouge's prototype design. Like Amy with her raincoat, where you can see her dress underneath, you can see Rouge's usual outfit while she is wearing her raincoat. Her green umbrella could reference the Master Emerald or the green Chaos Emerald, either way.
While Blaze's cape was official from the concept artworks of her in Sonic Rush, which was finally featured in Sonic IDW, I did my best to come up with her rain boots. I first considered colors other than purple, magenta, or something else, until I (unfortunately) settled for purple with yellow accents. Her umbrella's handle was based on the Jeweled Scepter.
Giving Silver a cyan umbrella and a pair of cyan rain boots would make sense for his personality. As I tried my best to give everyone different umbrella handles, umbrella end tips, and rain boots to best fit with their personalities, the best "futuristic" umbrella handle I could think of was a D-handle umbrella. To spice things up, while most of Silver's shoes were low-heeled boots, including his Extreme Gear boots and the boots he wore in Speed Battle and Sonic Speed Simulator, I made his rain boots simple, with flat soles and no details.
