Description
No one has permission to repost this. Period.Vs. The Egg Dragoon
As the final jettisoned portion of the planet makes its way to its original resting place, Sonic is confronted by a pinnacle of mad science and ambition. Will this behemoth of a machine finally end Sonic's run in this scorching chamber of magma, or has Eggman underestimated the strength of Sonic's cursed form?...
I've been doing way too many 2D bosses, so I wanted to brush up on my 3D translation skills.
This was one of those "Yeah, I'm gonna end up drawing that" bosses.
Dec. 7, 2009 Colossal Overhaul:
1. Boss entirely reshaded.
2. Portions of the boss have been redrawn.
3. Ceiling, BG special effects, and the platforms have been entirely redone.
4. Sonic and the Egg Fighters have been entirely redrawn.
5. Overall lighting and special effects have been improved.
Here's the redo of the Wii/PS2 version: [link]
Concept - Sonic Team

Eggman: TIMEο»Ώ FOR A CHANGE OF PA-
Oh wait, wrong game.

That's one seriously armed robot! Then again, Sonic is one powerfully tricked out werehog!

I don't remember the two robots on the platform.

Do be aware that this depiction of the Egg Dragoon comes from the 360/PS3 Version, in which Eggman will occasionally drop Egg Fighters onto the platform. Perhaps you are thinking of the Wii/PS2 version? I see you've commented on that version too; thanks for that.

That makes sense. I only have the Wii version.

I suppose I'll try to take that as a compliment. Do try to provide a more substantial comment though; I'd appreciate it.

Oops, sorry man. Honestly I don't know much sbout "art speak", so I'll just say that it really captures the heat of the moment and has alot of depth and nice coloring, good job

This one is SO much better. Can't find anything to say except the glass on the Egg Mobile MK. I should be broken at this point in the fight.
π: 0 β©: 1
No, the glass should not be broken yet. Sonic only breaks it seconds before the battle ends, because that is the only time Sonic ever gets close enough to the Egg Mobile to do any damage.

What amazing picture of this boss battle! I heard that Egg Dragoon is going to return in Sonic Generations.
Are you going to draw Sonic Generations boss battles?
π: 0 β©: 1
I'll certainly draw the Generations battles that interest me. I suppose if Sonic Team's recreation is too perfect though, then it'd be silly for me to draw the boss again, seeing as there would be very little change. We'll just have to see what the bosses are like.

Very vivid colors, it really makes a tense atmosphere, which is what this boss had for me personally...for the first few minutes until I figured out his pattern of attack and toasted him xP
Very well done~

I've beaten this boss before... Until I got to Dark Gia. Never really beaten the game myself. so, NO SPOILERS please. I want to try and earn my Xbox "medal" myself. Thank you.
π: 0 β©: 1
Ah, yeah, Dark Gaia's a pain. Anything I can help with? And if you don't want spoilers, don't go digging through my boss pictures too much. I have drawn Unleashed's final boss.
π: 0 β©: 1
I actually happen to like the details of your boss pics. Well, when you get the the third Sonic side of the dark gia, where you have to boost. How in the world can you do it with out dying so much? I've lost quite a bit of lives.Wait no. I've lost lots of lives in the Eggman Land stage. That stage was a flippin' killer. Any who, Hope to see more sonic art. And, are you going to post any pencil work?
π: 0 β©: 1
Why thank you. And it sounds like a practice issue. All of it is a big memorization fest, but it's doable. Time also becomes an issue. You can only afford to get hit twice or so in that part - any more and the time limit will run out on you.
And as far as pencil work goes, [link] I have that, (a school project) and I only posted pencil drawings when I first joined, but that's fallen out of practice.

oh.Would've loved to see more. So, you just sketch,clean, and finish in Photoshop. I've tried drawing in photoshop with a tablet too.
π: 0 β©: 1
Actually, that's quite far from my technique. There's no sketching involved. I begin in Macromedia Flash 8 Professional, and use the line tool for nearly all drawing purposes. Using Sonic's head as an example, I lay down a circle, lay down straight lines in the general shape of the eyes, and curve them until the right shape is achieved. Repeat. A lot.
I then flat color that, and well, you favorited my Photoshop coloring demonstration, and that explains the rest.

The Egg Dragoon looks like it needs to be taller... a bit
π: 0 β©: 1
That doesn't surprise me. The original drawing seemed to have that problem, and while the legs have been overhauled to address that problem, yeah, it wouldn't surprise me if the boss needed more.
π: 0 β©: 1
Yeah, but either way, it gets the job done and the finished product looks pretty good.Kudos to you again, and great job!
π: 0 β©: 0
my gosh that looks awesome!
I'm really impressed how you did the Egg Dragoon. It looks so good! Especially the yellow laser thing and well.. whatever the blue lights are.. XD; I never played the game so no clue..
π: 0 β©: 1
He calls the blue lights "Wing Units." The flaw in logic being, "How are they making the Egg Dragoon fly without actually being connected to it in any way?" Then again, Gamma employed the idea with his Jet Booster level up. Things to ponder.
Thanks for the comment.

I see^^
yeah I always wondered about that too. X3
you're welcome^^

BRAVO, good update 
werehog's skin colour is perfect, i like the cracked ground as well but the best is the blurry background which is a really nice touch, it made me think there is a lot to investigate in the center of the earth and egg dragoon is EGG DRAGOON XD very detailled.
You feel we go to hell, awesome ^^

The platform seriously looked like an oatmeal cookie before. I'm so glad that overhaul worked as well as it did.
π: 0 β©: 1
your welcome ^^ but
an oatmeal cookie
OMG, you made me laugh so hard
You made my day, your drawing has another sense for me, now

I loved that boss, it reminded me of Gurren Lagann with his giant drill.
π: 0 β©: 0
holy crap, that is a huge overhaul.
I remember when you first uploaded the original. And to think I thought it looked good then O.o
Huge improvement. Sexy canon.
π: 0 β©: 1
I too often said the same things to myself. Well actually, my number one phrase was "Dang, did I suck."
And yes, the cannon turned out quite nicely. Yep.

Aw, man, when I saw this in my DevWatch, I was like "SCREENSHOT...? HE'S UP TO SCREENSHOT QUALITY, BY GOLLY"
...well, looking at it up close, it isn't entirely like a screenshot, but dang if it iddn't the purdiest thing I've seen out of your skills yet!
...and quite possibly the best time in recent memory where a Eggman boss bottle would end up just as epic as the monster he summoned rebelling on him afterwords!
π: 0 β©: 1
One day, I'll climb to the summit and reach teh screenshotz qualities!
You know, it's probably only your eccentric tendencies that bring forth my inner "silly side." Trust me, it's quite rare - you should take a picture.
Joking aside, I thank you for your compliment. Best yet, eh? I'd have to say I agree for now. We'll see what bests this eventually.

INDEED~
*takes shot*
That should be great to see~

Very nice. I can tell you payed a lot of attention to detail with the Egg Dragoon and it paid off.
π: 0 β©: 1
I tried to solely use the game for the old version of this, and it adequately worked. This time I had a screenshot, and woo boy did it make a difference.
π: 0 β©: 0
An epic update indeed, fantastic work on this piece.
I especially love how the shading has been applied this time, and looking at the PS2/Wii version i can certainly see a massive improvement.
π: 0 β©: 0
Very good. As usual. 
π: 0 β©: 1
Well, what can I say - I have to send a very concrete message to these would be thieves.
And boy the irony. I've made my Perfect Dark Gaia picture into a desktop in the past, my Sonic vs. Shadow is my current desktop, and I was thinking of turning this into my next desktop. I spruce up the spaces at the top and bottom with fancy text, but otherwise, yeah, I make my pictures into desktops.
π: 0 β©: 1
You should try to do some special destops for us fans. Like add something to where it wouldn't be the origanal pic? But still good enough for a desktop. I understand the warning thing. You'll just have to make people sign a contract in BLOOD to use your stuff. lol

I totally agree with the awesome sonic hacker. XD
