Chaotic Future by @neoomeg (Nik Hasta)
Okaay! It took me about two months but it's done! This is sorta of the cover of my fanfic-possibly-webcomic-maybe 'Chaotic Future' All the characters in this pic belong to me except Rouge and Knuckles. Characters are: Ferox, the main guy in the story, son of Rouge and Knuckles, who has been transported about 5000 years into future by Eclipse, Eclipse being his arch-nemesis and the final perfect product of the Ultimate Life form research taking place in SA2, hence his resemblence to Shadow. Once arriving in the future Ferox, has lost his memory and joins the resistance group against Eclipse, who has become master of the solar system, destroying planets and creating his own twisted, corrupte utopia. In the resistance he meets Lupus, happy-go-lucky theif and Ferox's new best friend and Char, Lupus' sort-of-unofficial-girlfriend. After a few adventures they meet Echo who is the object of Ferox's desire. That's about all I want to say right now... Pic was drawn and inked free hand and coloured on Photoshop. I finally got the layer system to work for me! Yay, anyway please review and be kind. Nik
Nik!! I'm here, I'm alive! X__X Gawd, I need better organisational skills.... slaps self But yes, I got your e-mail and of course I'll be glad to review your pic! Several months later.... @_@ You've improved mightily since the last one, and I can say straight away that you've done a fab job - drawing lots of characters collectively is always a challenge and I still find it hard, but you've pulled it off very well! ^^ There are a whole range of poses and perspectives which is great to see, and I like how Ferox and Eclipse take the centre stage with full bodied poses. You're very welcome for the assistance on Ferox by the way; it's good to see him again, and he's looking fine! ;)
Echo looks quite intriguing - I've always liked white fur and hair together, topped off with red eyeshadow! ^.^ I don't know why but I got a North American indian-type vibe when I first saw her... yeah, you can call me weird if you want. XD Nice character design all around, and Lupus has a very interesting markings by the way. ^^ I'm glad to hear that you figured out layers on Photoshop, as that knowledge will serve you extremely well in the future! :D You've done very well with the colouring, as I can see marked improvements in shading and textures, plus an understanding of light - you didn't ignore the fact that Eclipse is radiating gold light from his feet, and coloured the surrounding grass accordingly. Thumbs up That type of attention to detail always helps to elevate an artwork. ^^
Anyhoo, I can't really find anything to critique here since you seem to have anthro characterisation working for you quite nicely, so kudos once again on creating a successful group shot and I wish all your characters the best in their storyline! :D Waves to Ferox
