My father's birthday was this past Friday on March 15th. It was my mom's idea to draw their three basset hounds (the left one is a mutt) as Sonic characters. From left to right we have Henry, Sophie, and Wilbur with a picture below of what they look like in real life that lines up coincidentally perfect with each dog. Sadly Henry passed away before I ever started working on this (he was 13) so there were some details I couldn't be sure were as accurate in the transfer from animal to a Sonic form as I wanted them to be. I can't describe how much my dad loved this when he opened the gift. I framed it and everything and he currently has it hung up in his home office. It was also bittersweet because my mom is sick and we don't know how much time she has left, but she left a beautiful message on the picture as well, since the gift was from both of us.
This artwork is very special to me. Whether people like it or not, I wanted to ensure the details were as close as they could be for each dog. Colors were a bit difficult to pin down as I was working with several real-life photos that come with several shades and different lighting. No matter what people think though, I'm extremely proud of this drawing I've done.
