Life on Mars for Sonic

Drawn in CLIP STUDIO, for The Speed of Sound

Wonder how Sonic would look, running along this beach? And in this style, no less, because originally that what this piece was going to be, albeit far from this kind of look. But what was originally a blockout for an illustration has become an abstract, moody scene which manages to make a respectable little bit of canvas poster appeal. And that's probably been the first entirely unintended piece of artwork of mine in years, and certain one that's been made digitally. I don't think even in my A levels this happened with one of my works. But hey, I'm pretty chuffed, and it only took an evening. Hope you can ruminate on it for few seconds of browsing.

Those of you who've played Pokémon X or Pokémon Y will recognise this beautiful floor pattern as the arena upon which your fight against Diantha - The Kalos League Champion, takes place on. It's entirely Illustrator made and it's taken about two and a half days of mouse clicks and aggravating my parents. Purely my fault. Work interuptions give me the grouches. You artists and designer's'll likely catch that slip-stream but in all seriousness. This was a piece long left clanking abouts in the 'Intend to someday create' bucket. Seems I've lightened that bucket's contents a bit now. This floor design in the champion's room is oozing beauty and symbolism and ALL of those messy pallet swatches of yours. I've wanted to create the pattern in high definition digital art form for some time now, and I've always been surprised when I've gone to search results and found nobody else has tried to do the same. All you'll commonly find are screenshots from the game, but the resolution of the Nintendo 3DS means that much of that detail is pixelated. This is my tribute to this gorgeous stained glass arena, a' la Kingdom Hearts HD remake overhaul (if you've seen the stained glass floors in the dives to heart you'll catch my slip-stream). And it was really fun to create. Hope it appeals to yourselves. Also disclaiming that this artwork is not my original design, but a recreation of a texture used in the Pokémon series, which is copyrighted to the Satoshi Tajiri, GameFreak, and the Pokémon Company.

Got a message this morning over deviantart, telling me one of my art pieces had been featured in a DeviantArt Good Stuff video, by Christina Blackfeather. My thanks go out to her for choosing one of mine, given how many art pieces are added to deviantart each minute.

Thank you Christina
