Fracture

HA-HA-HA-HA-HA!!! You thought I'd abandoned this BINGO challenge, hadn't you! ^_^;; Tbf, I kinda had, too. When making the BINGO sheet, I'd had ideas I might want to try for all the prompts, it was just a when and where. But upon actually rolling Fracture (and the next prompt, Fairytale AU), I was drawing a blank. Like. Images were there in my mind, but vague, or not something I was in the mood to make (I am occasionally in the mood to draw gore, but it's a very hit and miss mood, and quite rare.)

So when I decided to try again, my hopes weren't high. I went over to AdorkaStock and hopped into their multi-character tab. And there it was. This amazing, pitiful, glorious shot.

So yeah, that sparked me off, and I made this.

I, eh...ended up forgetting to add the "battle damage" to Sonic, but that's the story I have in my head. Shads hauling Sonic away to doctor him while Tails and Knux halfheartedly protest. ^_^ Because it's cute. Honestly, there BEING no obvious battle damage on Sonic probably sells the idea better than if I had put some blood and scuffs up ins.

My placeholder backdrop was purple, so I decided to look at refs of Hydrocity Zone to base the background around. I gotta remember that that works better if I background first, and then character art. But oh well.

Attempted a semi-lineless/limited linework approach for this, since I've been wanting to do a bunch more experiments lately. Didn't super love how my rendering turned out with this, but Procreate was suuuuper struggling with all the layers I'd been using even after I'd collapsed it down as well as I could, and the amount of hours I'd poured into this...I just wanted to be done. So, moving on to the next project!
