#blue wisp

Basically, trying to dedicate alternate pages to either original design work, and familiar characters I enjoy, with a heavy emphasis on the vast world of Sonic the Hedgehog, since there's many, many characters and background fodder for a fun art challenge, especially when Sega is very open about releasing the production art, model sheets and various renders to get a really good look at the characters.

A week of doing everything, the mask was the one that took the longest because of the glue

The whole process btw

The first three preview pages for IDW Sonic #26 have been revealed on iBooks.

I am losing it at Knuckles freaking out about how Angel Island would end up imploding if the multi-portal generator ended up backfiring. XD At the same time, I don't blame him; he just got his home back. The last thing he needs is his Master Emerald guarding duties going to waste if the Warp Topaz ended up imploding the island.

Amusement aside, the comic is still finding ways to make me worry about Sonic. The poor boy literally cannot catch a break with fighting off his infection and he keeps getting more exhausted with every passing issue. Who knows how much longer he has left until the Metal Virus is completely immune to his speed? …Oh, fuck, I don't even want to think of that possibility! Why do I do shit like this to myself?! ><

Back on a more positive note. @spiritsonic continues to do a phenominal job with the artwork as shown in these preview pages. I admire how she redrew Charmy and Vector's downfalls in the third page. Looking at them really takes me back to when I first saw them getting infected. I will never forget how shaken up I was by those moments, especially during Issue 17.

Bonus points to Evan for this adorably excited Silver.
