Emerald Hill Zone

This is my picture for celebrating Sonic's 20th anniversary, which is today! I just happened to finish it today, too!

I drew Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles all in classic-style, and referenced Emerald Hill Zone from Sonic 2 for the background.

I used 2-point perspective to angle the floating chunks of land. I wanted to show the loop-de-loop at an angle, but I have no idea how to do that.

While planning this, I actually started up the game on my DS to do sketches based off the level, and went back a couple times during painting to get the look and colors right (I've always loved how detailed the levels were--several layers of background scrolling by, etc).

I changed the composition of the sketch a few times. I'm still not fully satisfied with it, though.
