Digital oils using Painter X and a Wacom tablet. Robotnic approaches the garden city of Mobotropolis.
This picture may or may not make any sense depending on your familiarity with the SatAM sonic series. The series intro has a great opening segment where we see Sonic racing off towards a lush garden city followed by a huge shadow. As sonic enters the palace grounds, the camera turns to reveal a massive battle cruiser rising over the city. I tried to capture the feeling of the opening segment and underscore the sheer size of Robotnic’s command ship (although this ship is shown ridiculously out of scale in a later flashback episode). I love the exterior view, but I’m a bit unsure as to how well I like the interior of the ship. The color is a bit bland (though this kind of works as a nice symbolic contrast I suppose) and I had a hell of a time deciding what to do with the domed view-port (it almost looks better without the frame, except that would make no sense). |

May you find happiness in rough times,
Peace in troubled days,
And sanity in an insane world.
Do not meddle in the affairs of Dragons
because remember you are crunchy and
good with Ketchup.
You make me wish I could find those old episodes and watch them all over again.
My favorite had to have been "The Doomsday Project". But I saw very few episodes to know them all so I cannot rightfully say which one was the best.
Thank you, thank you, thank you for making this! I love this! Even though it is not just for me. It strikes a cord in me of great emotions.
You are excellent at keeping old memories and styles alive, including your traditional pieces.

I always liked those giant pools of water atop the buildings, and all the lush greenery in Mobitropolis. If I was going to design a city, it would look like that.

I think my favorite episode is “Sonic and Sally” although nostalgia may color my judgment as that was also the first episode I ever saw and thus catapulted me into the fandom.
I always liked the design of the city as well. I’d love to get a hold of the concept art for the city (if such a thing exists) and see the layout and building designs from other angles. I know there were cityscapes in “Blast to the Past”, but IIRC, the background quality wasn’t as great and there was also the issue of poor scaling.

Yes, I like this. I like this indeed. It's atmosphere, it's scale, it's sense of function and contrast - the idle spirit of peace, and the menacing function of wartime-manufactured efficiency - moreso from a mind bent on terrorizing goals.
Your picture seems to hold the essence of exposure and design. Where most would be simply pleased by the beauty and flow of the gently propspering Mobotropolis, here we see the brooding genius Robotnik looking downward with unreadable intent, there from on high, barricaded in the wrathful might of the Destroyer.
Yes, definitely good regards, Choedan-Kal. Congratulations.
