YT Sonic Mania Outro WIP

Hey there! Been awhile since my last drawing and funny enough my last one was a Sonic the Hedgehog sketch and my newest upload is a YouTube Outro on Sonic!

I've played Sonic Mania and love it, my second favorite 2D Sonic game (as I thought, S3&K is still my number one favorite Sonic game), and I did a complete Let's Play recording my Sonic's story in the game. The Switch version! However I haven't uploaded ANY of my footage as I wanted to make a custom Outro for my Sonic Mania run and I FINALLY got around to drawing it all in Paint Tool Sai. Took roughly about 2 - 3 hours of making the drawing outlines and rough sketches to see what they're going to look like and before I finalize them. I'm going to need to look at some lineart tutorials and inking ones to get the desired look for it.

In my Outro I have Classic Sonic running along side of my OC, Chris Corona (who is my Avatar of sorts), in this drawing. Along with my OC's guardian spirit, Virus, flying in the back. The little blue circles below their feet is the dust trail I plan to give them to show they're running at full speed. After YouTube's update in May with how the annoations and video links work, I had to re-work my Outros. And in the midst of it I decided to make unique Outros for each series I plan to do a Let's Play on. Though I have to get my lazy butt off to do it, I've been putting it off too much. I made the Sonic Mania videos about a month ago, just when the game released, and I'm making the unique Outro NOW!

Sheesh. Move it lazy me!

Not to mention I spent most of the time working on my OC's sneakers in this one! I decided to make new sneakers for him based on my cool new sneakers as well. And it was tricky to get it right, not overly complicated but not so simple as well. Actually I'm going with a simple look with some cool designs on it. Not easy especially when I don't know where to look for some good anime sneakers to look at for reference. Had to experiment here. Also I tweaked my OC's hairstyle as bit now so the little hair tail on the bottom of his hair not point upward to be more spiky. He's starting to come along nicely.

I also hope Classic Sonic came out right too. I wanted to go with the style Sonic Mania went with and tried to do the same with my OC... though I think I went Chibi Style instead of Sonic CD Style.

And the ground they're running on is suppose to be Green Hill Zone, though I'm not sure how I'll be able to paint that in. I never could find ANY video tutorials on how to make backgrounds. Just characters. Let me know if there's any good ones at there please.

I'm taking a break on it for now as this is a Work-in-Progress. I'm posting it here to get some feedback on it. Is it good? Does it need more work on it in some areas? Any suggestions? I like to know what you think and what I can do to make it better. Videos and tips would be most helpful!

Until next time, this is VirusChris signing off! Sayanora my Nakamas! Laters!
