Digital Art / Other / Other

Sketch

ok guys, I dont really know what this is gonna be
but as far as I thought about a story, I will update it^^
this version of Shadow in his radiant Paladin form

information so far:
Shadow will be a hero in the story/comic (I think I will do a comic, because my English is not that good to write a story)
and Nocturne Sonic is the villian ( Sonic became evil somehow)

the comic will continue the story of Satbk

I hope you like it^^

This is definitely a piece that deserves some recognition. The colors and design that you chose makes me think of medieval times. All that's missing is a dragon to battle.

I love how you decided to try out a new style of shading. You should make some more pieces with this hatching/comic shading look in them. You might also can try to combine both of the styles that you've found to be great to work with. Who knows, it might just turn out as one of the greatest works that you've ever done!
A really great thing that stands out in this digital drawing to me is ripped look of Shadow's cape, gloves, and shoes. Another thing that is outstanding are the roses and vines. I think that the thorns and the rips show the viewer that Shadow is dangerous and shouldn't be messed with. On the other hand, the roses show you that he has a kind and caring side to him.
However, just like every single piece of artwork in the world, there are some things that could have done differently. The lettering I quite like and adds to that medieval feel I mentioned earlier, yet you might want to be a tad more careful next time on choosing which font to use, as the "w" could easily pass as a "m". Also, the hands and fingers could use some more work, but I understand how hard those things can be. :/
Other than those couple of things, this truly is one of your greatest digital works.

What do you think?

Where do I start, this is just great!

Lets start with the background; the roses. Those roses are great! I really like how you colored and shaded them, and the vines are just wonderfully done (so is the butterfly). Oh, and the ''type of letters'' you used for the name Shadow is really nice! on to Shadow...
I really like the design of this outfit! It's cool, and really detailed. I also just can't seem to stop looking at that hand holding the rose, it looks so good! and his spikes/spines look really nice ^^. The cape was very detailed with the rips and such. As for the coloring/shading of the picture-- It looks like a mix between Sonic Riders, and Sonic and the Black Knight. (don't think that's bad either

) The lineart is very neat and I see lots of improvement.
