Description Entry for 's 'Duality of Sonic and Super Sonic' contest.

I figured if there was anything that brought these two polar opposites together, it was kicking the stuffing out of Brutus.

Just today I found out what an 'Adjustment layer' was. It made this picture look a thousand times better than what I'd half-done. Now I've just got to figure out what to use a 'Layer Mask' for... so far the only thing I can think of is smoke.

Yep. He's screwed.

Great artwork though. You really make the two stand out from each other.

I really love the appreciation to the character design ( as Sonic did look different in Sonic The Comic).

There are very few situations that can't be made more badass by the addition of an evil killer robot

Both Sonics have great parallelism. Eveything pulls together nicely :3

just looked...i looooves it lol, i wonder if that technique could work with colouring pencil drawings? hmmmm this could be interesting

scheherazadenerai In reply to seanpt [2010-02-16 21:12:18 +0000 UTC]

course it will, you just have to set the layer above the pencil drawing to 'multiply'

Thanks so much I'm not a fan of the new Sonic on the current gen consoles but the old British comics were great, more about Nazi-esque dictatorship than fluffy animals! I'm colouring some lineart for a #color-me-club contest so I'm gonna use your colouring technique for that.

Full of energy, motion, and distinct strengths. This is amazingly detailed, and all of their expressions are fantastically fierce.

This looks so cool. The armor looks great, especially the muscles. The colors really add a lot of drama to this piece, so you've used them very well. Good job!

scheherazadenerai In reply to PleaseHush [2010-02-13 00:37:17 +0000 UTC]

Thanks so much!!! The adjustment layer helped me do a LOT more contrast so I got confidence to spend more time on the armour. I forgot to add that I'm not very good at abs, but I'm going to study some from =vishstudio . < Have you seen this yet by the way? Hundreds of professional images of bodybuilders, and the guy said in a journal we can use it as STOCK. Considering there's no man stock on DA I think that's pretty good.

I have no idea what an adjustment layer is, so...

And...this guy is amazing! Over 1,200 amazing photos that can be used as reference? I really need to improve on male anatomy, so this is a great link. Automatic bookmark. Thank you.

You know I still don't know exactly how to explain it. Then again if you asked me I couldn't tell you exactly what a layer does!

I'm so glad you found it useful! I'm grateful as all hell for it, I had no male bodybuilder/anatomy reference before I found this guy.
