Hey everybody, my first post in this forum. I'd like to make this the offical topic for posting SatAM-related artwork.

I've been on a SatAM tear as of late, and have been experimenting with a few different styles.

Here's an image I created today featuring Sonic and Princess Sally(black and white):

And here it is again, in full color:

And an alternate color scheme:

Here's a pic of the other Freedom Fighters I drew yesterday(black and white):

And finally, a comparison shot of different styles. The first one is my style around 1999 or so. The second one is the current style.

You'll notice that this style is inspired by the original designs for the Freedom Fighters(as seen in the pilot episode of SatAM, 'Heads or Tails' as well as the first several issues of the comic). This is why Sally and Rotor may look drastically different than you may remember them.

Post some of your artwork! I'd like to see this thread become filled with great SatAM art!

i'll look at your art and comment on it when i've got the time, but i just wanted to mention that many people like to make their own threads for their art and that i'm not sure how many people draw SatAM art.

i'm not telling you off here, just informing you in case you get dissapointed.

That's OK. The best thing I can do is to encourage others to make brand new art.

Here's a couple of pictures a good friend of mine drew(Kaminyu). He likes to add a mixture of traditional SatAM style and anime-influence.

And they can be funny, too!

Here's a humorous one I made.

*prods you with her spork* another word of warning/advice. i don't mind a bit of double posting to add new pictures, but certainly not within the space of one day. use the edit button to add in the pictures if you haven't had a reply.

plus those of us with slower connections would find it hard to download so many images on one page. take pity on 'em and provide links to larger pictures if possible.

as for the pictures themselves, they're great! i like the picture comparing the change in your style over the years, it shows how you've improved. ^^
*blinks at the bottom-most picture* i see tails is showing off his kitsune side with eating things :p

Great stuff! This is a pretty good excuse to see some SatAM fan art - I still prefer this continuity over the others, and it's neat to see people are still producing fan art and such based on it. And I've already wanted to see more actual fan art in this forum, so this suits me fine.

Your friend's artwork is a rather clean style, detailed yet not overworked. I especially like the Bunnie pic (Bunnie Rabbot fan here), as it shows how slightly disproportionate her robotic parts are and how they throw her off. I'm not entirely sure how accurate her groin area is though; the SatAM left it pretty ambiguous as to whether it was only her legs that were 'boticized or how much farther up it actually went, but the art is still well-done.

And of course the other pictures...it's nice to see the more classic version of Rotor from the SatAM, I thought he looked better/more like a walrus in that style.

That last one could be used for our local CJTails.

What ChibiBecca said of course, I'd definitely try to shift some of those bigger images (those last two in particular) down to smaller links so people with low bandwidth can enjoy the thread better.

I'd really like to see more fan art of this style, it'd be neat if other contributed here.

Thanks! Glad you liked the work. I'm gonna post a lot more artwork in this thread as I create more.

I never noticed that about his Bunnie. I'm pretty sure her lower torso is supposed to be colored like the upper torso(regardless of wether or not it is actually roboticized). I'll be sure to relay that message to him(if he doesn't see it here, first!).

As for the size of the pictures, I'll definitely try to size the bigger ones down. Unless sizing 'em down will cut out some of the artwork, in which case I'll relegate those to links.

Oh, also. I agree what you wrote about the 'style' of which Kaminyu drew Bunnie. Her limbs should remain large and floppy. This is what gives her such a 'rabbit' like appearance. I read a recent issue of the Sonic comic, and they drew it much thinner and more dynamic. I don't think that was the point of the original character designer, and it also takes away a bit from her character.

And since you're a Bunnie fan, here's a pic I drew of her and Antoine.

i13.photobucket.com/album...eantsm.jpg

Edit: Just wanted to add the colorized version of the above pic. And it's reversed, so Bunnie's mechanical arm is on the right side. You're very perceptive, I hadn't even noticed that when I drew it!

Wow. I must say that your art rocks, Chad. It's great to see another SatAM style artist. You have quite a bit of talent. My personal favorite pic is the one with Sonic, Knux, and Buttnik. XD I'll be sure to post some art later.

Nice pic there, and I could actually believe it! I think the pic's in reverse though, since her left arm is the one that should be roboticized. Nothing a pic flip wouldn't take care of though. 😛 I think something doesn't quite seem right about her flesh arm though, don't quite know what it is...something about the forearm and elbow. But otherwise very nice pic.

In the Archie comic, she was originally bigger in her mechanical parts, but apparently she had to make the decision whether to attempt deroboticization (which was super risky and would make her a normal person with no powers), to leave herself as is and die of some kind of poisoning, or to replace her robot limbs with cyborg parts. She chose the latter, and with the upgrade came the slimmer parts. Though in some respects I prefer the bulkier version, Archie did a good job of redesigning the character over time to make her look more cowgirlish in th more recent comics, and the slender limbs look better I think. I think the bulkier version better represents the curse and blessing that comes with the partial roboticization (she would be really beautiful if she didn't have those parts, but besides the enhanced strength that comes with the parts, she also is less self-centered because if it, IMO), but I also like the Bunnie gal in the scattered Archie comics I've gotten my hands onto (she busted through an entire ship once! That is so cool! Ahem.).

I guess I'm really a fan of most of the SatAM characters, but Bunnie's always been one of my faves.

VERY VERY good art. It seems like 'official' artwork used for stills. (imagines a SatAM cartoon with current art) It would be good.

And LMBO at the Tails pic. That is SO Ceej.

Heh, yeah, I've done a lot of really oddball Tails pictures(Some of them so weird, I probably couldn't post 'em on this PG-rated board).

I might show some more of the tamer ones.

Here's a pic of Sonic I drew today for starters:

Here's an older one I did of Sally. This one is done in a slight-anime style. This pic is PG-13, so if you're easily offended, don't click on it.

Another Sally. This one is safe. :)
Still featuring the anime style that I stopped using.

A 'funny' pic feat. Knuckles and Tails.

This one is AostH-inspired, obviously.

Here's a link to another syle of drawing Sonic, I've used(Anime):

Yeah, Knuckles and Tails have a pretty good relationship in my version of Sonic.

Here's another pic that's not SatAm-related, but it's kinda funny anyhow.

Thanks, Miss Puar!

Another one:

This one is a bit larger, so here's the link:


This one isn't Sonic related, but I'll share it with you anyway. It's based on the Mario games.

Thank you!

I really like to leave plain colors often, rather than blending the colors to make the art look realistic. I think it gives the drawing a more cartoon-like appearance. And it looks appealing to the eye. At least it does my eye. :)

Oh, here's a Sally I did a couple of days ago, but I forgot to post it on here. Enjoy!

Oh, and just for fun, here's a drawing I did a couple of years ago. I just thought it was really funny. Tails is probably my favorite character to draw. He's very versatile.

Yikes, good job. I am sort of a sucker for the old styles of Sonic art, including the older cartoons (AoSth is the only one I'm familiar with)...I admire those who can draw anthros especially since it's a weakness of mine...methinks you really enjoy drawing Sally...:p

Basically, I'm looking to update my story tears of blood. It might be on the secong page of this forum I htink. I was going to add peoples art and make the wholr thing better. I Had one idea. If you want more info just check out the openening chapters of tears of blood.

It's of the first time that Sonic (X style) and Sally SatAM style) hug. It takes place in the planning room. Sallys lying on the table with Sonic on top of her. She has her left hand stroking Sonic quills, her right arm around his back, the begiinings of tears in her eyes. Sonics gently stroking Sallys hair with his right hand while his left hand is around her neck. Their legs are half on half off the table. In the back ground is a load of computers mixed in with desks that look like they have been used as personal desks rather then work desks. They are hugging each other close but you can still see there faces.

I hope thats enough info. If you want more I'll be happy to tell you. And thanks again.

Been a while since I posted anything else in this topic. :)

Forgot completely about it XD

Recently, my love for SatAm(and Sonic) has been increasing(moreso than usual even!) and I just can't stop drawing the characters.

Here's some of my recent SatAM(and other Sonic-related) fanarts.

Ah...the 'classic' Robotnik. I have to say that his ability to look menacing is much greater than that of the new design.

I stopped drawing 'Eggman' a long time ago.

I still like the classic Eggman from the Genesis Sonics(I can draw some creeeepy Eggmans), but the Eggman from the Adventure games just looks silly to me.

Het Chad, nice to see you back. I wondered what happened to you. Those pics were great. have you ever thought of doind some cover art for the comics at all? Also hows the request i asked you for coming along?

Whoa, nice pictures. It's nice to see someone else using computers for the full effect, too many people submit penciled things...
Anyways, Chad, have you ever sent your work to an artist? Such as a SatAm one? If not, seriously consider it. I sent mine to Richard Elson (STC artist) and got a great reply. It really does give you motivation to continue, and their tips are gold.
Anyways, you may have already, so this post is moot...

I really miss the old SatAM style of Sonic. I can pour through tons of fanart and nobody draws the old Sonic anymore. Ooooh. I like this place.

Excellent work Chad, really captures the old cartoons (and in the case of Blaze, the newest games!) Keep it up!

Makes me want to do some more sonic based drawing actually, I really should. Accursed giant robots are beginning to take over my sketchpad...ah well, they can do battle with the superheroes and furries to see who wins.

My bet is on whoever gains the movie rights to that fight.

Awesome scene there, Adamis! I really like that scene, looks like it could have been taken straight from the cartoon. Great working out that light effect as well as their expressions, and details are simple but there's enough to make the entire scene seem full without being overbearing. It feels like a complete scene.

I'd like to keep seeing more of this!

Wow, VERY impressive artwork there! I do believe you are the FIRST artist that I've run into that prefers to draw Ant in the Season 2 style. And for that, you have my respect.

Got a Deviant Art account by chance?

Since I'm posting here, I'll show off my latest drawing.

Sally, again.

Is it wrong to say she looks hawt =3

Seriously though, that pic looks, for the most part, awesome. Although, I must say, the legs look a little cardboard-cutoutish. But the drawing itself, looks awesome, well done ^^

Nah, Tails and Knuckles are my favorites.

I've just been drawing Sally more lately to get better at her.

I've pretty much already mastered Sonic, Knux, and Tails, so there's not much to go on there.

Those are incredible. I can't draw to save my life. I can't draw to save my HAMSTER I'm so pathetic, I've never seen satAM because it doesn't air in my country, it never has. I've never even seen an archie comic, my country reeks.

I noticed what you were talking about, with her legs. So I rerendered them, and changed the proportioning a bit.

I hope it's an improvement. Thanks for the honest criticism. ^^

Herostar: I'm sorry you've never seen SatAM before. It's a truly remarkable show and should be seen by every Sonic fan.
