Sharp should be jet black, in my opinion. He's (SPOILER:evil, and about 10 times worse than Gimacian) remember?

I'm looking into what I can do to tidy up the story a bit, as well as making it look nice, but if that's what you've got in mind, some of the lines and actions need to be changed a bit ... as well as some other things, but I'll mention all of it when I finish, in a separate thread.

For now, did anyone figure out, at least, if the flying abilities will be a part of the character themselves or due to some magic or something? Charge will still glide and swim, while Neon flies vertically somehow.

I support the idea of having them gadgets and magic powers. The only conclusion i could came with Charge's gliding ablity should be rocket shoes like Shadow's ^^UUU either that or some kind of magic device XD

Go to imageshack or some other image uploading site and upload it. You'll see some urls. Copy and paste the 'forum thumbnail' in the post where you want the picture.

Let Neon wear a jet pack, how about it?

P.S.: And a cape to hide it

lol, I wanted to say that. Tails WAS a genius. Why can't Neon be a genius as well?

I don't see any problem with it... as long as doesn't look too much like in Rocket Knight Adventures. And consider that he has to jet upwards and other direction while carrying someone, as well as that the game is supposed to be magic-based instead of machine-based. Maybe a magical gem that emits wings or a lifting beam (like jets, just magic)?

Maybe jet powered shoes so he can run fast as well?

EDIT: With jets on the back of the ankle to not copy shadow.

For flying... lot of things... Mental power, wings, wind control, jumps in the air, magic propulsion... The problem is add the correct to the character

Ferk · 2010-07-12 06:49:48

Just for ideas:
Maybe the badger could have a cape that he can use for gliding ...a bit like supermario does (it wouldn't be plagiarism, supermario didn't invent this, it's ninjutsu).

For the flying squirrel, either make it be a bat instead or give it something like a propeller cap. But don't add rockets to the shoes because to transport the other characters they will have to grab his feet, which would be hard if they are spitting fire.

Ah! No! Not Mario! Italian plumbers are the worst!

A cape is possible, although it's supposed to be magic-based again... maybe a "Spawn"-like cape that can be functional as something of a weapon?

And for the jets, let them be tiny-winged shoes, or magical gem or ringlets on the shoes, or something like that...again, magical, not solid-fuel rockets....

Also, last I checked, Neon the Squirrel is supposed to pick someone else up, both using their hands... it could be different I suppose, but it might look a little weird... (both in the upright position, flying like a totem-pole... they may be too big to get through some places that way....hmmm....).

Here's my new design for Surge the Rabbit:}

TheSeventhEmerald · 2010-07-12 10:14:08

good drawing, SoniChris. I like the expression of the character and the Sonic style. The only thing I don´t like is the light in the ear... But is a good character.

Felicia_Val · 2010-07-12 10:17:09

mmm yeah i pretty much agree with TheSeventhEmerald, but I can see you got talent! keep it coming!

TheSeventhEmerald · 2010-07-12 10:29:37

I have my image now! I open a new page in my site. If you remember, I had the main page and the downloads page. Now I have a "more" page, where I will put images and music, for downloads. Well, you have here the link, see the drawing:

J0nnJ0nes · 2010-07-12 11:03:34

About SoniChris' image, it's good. The color scheme is a bit odd, and the ears can be pointed or rounded, but otherwise fine. The head shape might need a little rounding and such.

About TheSeventhEmerald's images, they're good. However, I somehow recognize the Surge you've drawn... I swear I've seen it before, especially the star, but I can't put my finger on it! Both characters need more neck, and I'm not exactly sure about the color schemes...
Pink and yellow for Surge? Try some of the purple at the top of the forum, maybe with white...
The Orange clashes with the yellow on Neon, so ... hmmmm... try white or gray ... He can be generally red or black, you know (squirrels are). Also, about the face... atm he looks like a burly Irish fisherman (NO OFFENSE! ... big red beard...). See a high-quality image of Tails: Make the chin and much of his face in a wide "V" sort of shape, and add plant-like tufts of fur at the ends, for a better effect.

TheSeventhEmerald · 2010-07-12 11:13:10

I like the red of Surge... respect to Neon, you´ve reason, I didn´t know what to do with the color I thought in the orange and the brown, but, it isn´t very original. With the orange in Neon, you´ve reason again. I didn´t have the result I expect. .
In fact, Neon needs better color, but I like Surge. I will continue proving, of course, but I won´t change my Surge .

A VERY BIG THANK YOU TO YOU PEOPLE!

P.S.: I quoted a lot, didn't I? By the way, TheSeventhEmerald, red? Where? The only thing I se are red socks. If you meant the stomach and the mouth, it's light brown.

Like SoniChris said, I see pink, not red. I suggest either filling in the outlines with a more vivid "red" pencil, or try using markers of some sort: The markers would be quicker to fill in and more vivid correct color. It might not be as precise, but preciseness has little to do with these starting sketches. I quick general, even sloppy, sketch that can be remade and changed is much better than a precise and perfect sketch that takes more than an hour. I should know....

Again, if the sketch is taking 30 minutes or more, consider making things a bit simpler and quicker. If the sketch is taking 1 hour or more, stop what you're doing and probably trace over the image you're working on or make a quick copy and finish it up really quick.

Now, it's starting to get weird. Where the heck is this pink you see?

J0nnJ0nes · 2010-07-12 17:37:46

Oh great, now we're all color blind!

vote?

J0nnJ0nes · 2010-07-13 14:09:24

Any more submissions? The only thing we really have to vote between at the moment is which Surge... the rest have only about one really good one, or only one at all at the moment. So wait for more submissions and refine ones already submitted?
