"But why can't I defeat you?"

After listening to some heavier rock music (but never screamo >_>) for a few hours, I produced this. It took a total of eight hours to complete, and that's probably because it's the first full piece I've ever done with this style.

Here's the lined version:

As a self taught artist. After toying around with paint.net for a long time and watching how my sister draws, I figured I could use an inferior program but still create decent results. The first step is to do the line art by drawing many over lapping lines in the same place and direction until you get the shape that you want. Then comes flat coloring on another layer. The shading is created by using transparent black and white. Sometimes I'll use an eraser as if it where a smudge tool after the fact- it all depends. Using that too much can make the cell shading look muddy and ugly though, so you have to use it sparingly.

This was particularly fun to draw. . . if not really angsty at times. I like Metal Sonic a lot and find him as one of the most relatable Sonic characters. I was originally going to draw him amongst a series of flames like in the opening to Altered Metal.

It excites me to create a piece like this. I can't wait to get even better. Even if I do say so myself, I think the oil painting theme worked out really well. It may not look so great when you zoom in, but as an oil painting like picture, thankfully that's forgivable. I think. : P

Thanks for watching me as long as you have guys. It's been great having followers even AS I'm improving in skill. XD
