Happy Holidays, everyone! No matter what you celebrate, I hope you all have a great time. Looking forward to what the new year brings!
This is the design I ultimately went with for the deviantART Holiday Card project this year. It was cropped and the characters weren't included, to make the cards more universally appealing.
The background didn't turn out as good as I had hoped, and it leaves much to be desired. However, overall, I like the unity of the piece. Working with ArtRage again for the second time gave me a fresh perspective and completely different outcome from my usual work. Definitely liking the more traditional feel within the piece. I used oil paints primarily, with the palette knife throughout for blending.
Last but not least, I was once again inspired by my artistic idol ~EVMousser. Their work always reminds me why I love painting Sonic...
Yay, more Sonic Christmas art! Your general coloring style hasn't changed all that much, but that's by no means bad. (I'm surprised one can color and shade so consistently!) The trees looks so tall! I like the contrast that they and the cloud highlights display against the sky. It seems to me you put just as much work into the background as you do the characters themselves. lol (and yes, I see that "Eggman" in the back. xP nice one) Overall, this picture tells me that even though the joy and celebration of Christmas is over, there's still lots things to look forward to in the new year. ^^
Hehe, thank you for your lovely comments. <3
