Hey there!
I've been wondering... What would some of the old-school Sonic characters (especially Mighty and Ray, but also Bean, Bark, Heavy, Bomb, Tails Doll, Metal Knuckles) and some of the old Badniks look like in our Adventures/Heroes era world? I mean, what would their official art for, say, Sonnic Adventure 2 look like? Or how about Advance- series sprites? I guess I'd even like to see the latter for Team Chaotix and some of the newer characters (like Omega) that never made it 2D.
I'm pretty good at drawing Sonic and co., but reek terribly at scanning and such, otherwise, I'd be posting my own work as well as requesting yours. I'm especially proud of my Mighty renditions- I even did a by-hand black-and-white pencil line drawing of what his Sonic Heroes art would look like...
My Ray's not too shabby either!;)
EDIT:
I'd also like to see Fang/Nack, Heroes-era Chaotix, Silver Sonic and Silver Knuckles, Rouge and Shadow(they never got a SA1-style quote pic), maybe even Egg Robo. And maybe some SA-style art for these guys (plus Chaos, Tikal, Void, Lumina, Illumina, Froggy, Chocola, and the other post-Adventure (or, in the case of Chaos and Tikal, non-playable in SA1) characters), complete with quote and everything. And by "post-SA1", I'll include side-characters like Maria, the President, Commander, Black Doom, and Prof. Gerald. You know, they could each have an SA1-style quote pic.
Y'know, Silver Sonic could have something along the lines of how he's failed and had to have been rebuilt several times in the past and been replaced by Metal Sonic, but's waiting for a chance to return and prove himself.
You know, this is starting to sound really interesting!
EDIT AGAIN: I'd also appreciate just a pic of one of the characters in the post-Adventure style- it doesn't necessarily have to be one of the Adventure quote pics. They'd be just fine- and probably easier to do, to boot.
Don't forget Fang the Sniper!
I didn't! I just listed him as Fang/Nack.
EDIT:
Why does everyone ignore this topic? It's my first one in the Carnival Island section of the forums, and I REALLY would like to see the results to this request, and I'd bet (if I didn't think gambling was immoral) that some other people would too.
Traffic at Carnival Island is pretty slow some of the time, so it's gonna take forever. Just be patient, someone will reply.
Thanks!
EDIT:
Soooo, is half a year a normal wait? Because I go nuts after 15 minutes. Make sure you have the guys in the white coats on call, just in case!
Generally, if a topic isn't on the first page of the forum, hardly anyone will look at it. And since this topic went to the next few page of the forum for the majority of time, it's not surprising that no one replied to it.
I really don't know why some requests are taken and others aren't; I've seen artists take some requests that to me seem too underdescribed, or overdescribed, or anywhere in between. I guess it's just a matter of the tastes of the artists looking through at the time.
It's about finding the artist at the right time and wanting the right thing. If they want a basic idea and wanna work from that to help them try out poses and backgrounds then I imagine they WANT a vague description.
Some what it to the detailed stain on the characters shirt because they aren't looking to test anything but more to practice and spread word of their talent.
Least thats this idiot's opinion.

Waiting.......................................................... GAAAAAAAAHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!!!! CN'T WAIT NO MORE!!!!!!!!!!!!!

just because it's a sonic site, doesn't mean there will be a vast amount of sonic artists here.
i draw sonic-style.. but not in the way you're asking for. i can't draw or colour in the SA manner.
instead of getting angry, try broadening your search and ask elsewhere as well. deviantart and sheezyart both have a large amount of sonic artists.
Well, I have a Adventure redesign for Fang. It's in that Heroes pic I made.
That looks pretty cool, TTG. I assume you used a Heroes pic to base this pic for? Looks great.
I think that maybe Fang's snout needs to be a bit longer...or maybe it's his nose that isn't as big as in other places, that might be what's throwing me off there.
And as for Ray the Squirrel...I think that is who it is, anyway...well, uh, good work and I especially like the colors of the shoes and bracelets, but he looks very feminine. I'm probably mistaking it for a different character, so feel free to correct me.
Mighty looks right on target, and the gloves and boots especially seem to suit him. The boot coloration seems to clash a tad bit, but the gloves are spot on.
Terg is right on Ray. It's a boy.
Other than that it's better than I could do with paint. 
Thanks Terg. Also,

That's intentional. I tried to make it look less like a "Chaotix 2" by making Ray(chel) a girl. I don't really know what I was thinking, other than the fact that I could have more freedon with the design that way. =O
I wasn't angry, it's just... well, patience has never been one of my virtues...
Hey 332 it's ok if you have no idea how to scan stuff properly. IMO if you do pencil drawings you should clean them up as much as possible with an eraser or trace them out and draw clean lines with a felt tip pen, making sure to keep the paper as pristine as possible. Then scan, and if you like you could post them up here and someone (maybe even me) could clean them up.
It would be nice to see what you've got.
I'll look into it! Thanks!:thumbsup
EDIT: I finished my Mighty pic. I tend to draw in a very Uekawa- like style when drawing Sonic.
... and the thing is, when I say I don't know how to scan, well... I don't think I've ever USED a scanner before...
EDIT AGAIN: I just finished a Ray pic. Now I just have to wait until we get a new printer/copier/scanner...
You know, if you have any pics at all that fit the criteria, you can show those. You don't necessarily have to go out and do a NEW one.
