Sonic is one of my fav characters…Based on the Sonic and the Black Knight game.
Modeled in Maya,worked in zbrush for the pose,getting the pose right took a bit of time.Rendered in Maya.
Also wanted to give toon rendering a try.Rendered the contours and toon shader separately and then did the rest in Photoshop. 
I Luv it! 
Hi, something’s just not right with the cross on the sword, and the depth of field isn’t right all over. Cool colors though, I like the background as well
btw you think that sonic was based on felix? I always thought it.
Wow great work. If you said this was official I would have believed it.
thank you for your comments
ryan83 - thanks for the comment,glad you liked it
cherub_rock - well i have matched the sword exactly like its in the image,you can check it online if you want,and there’s no dof in this just a bit of chromatic aberration in photoshop,and rendered in maya with default lights , no extra added,glad you liked it though and hmm felix…
wdcstudios - ha ha ha it was almost official,thanks for the comments and gla you liked it.
hey, I just checked the original image you were using for reference, the problem is that you don’t have any shadow on the sword, so that it doesn’t look like it’s shortened in perspective, but look rather flat and deformed. Hope this comes out as a constructive critic, cause it is ;) This critic goes out to anyone reproducing somebody elses work in general, you don’t have the same amount of freedom as you do when doing your own, and it’s never better than original.
the pose is slightly different compared to the ref, it might be looking like that because of the render i guess…
totally agree about not having enough freedom when it comes to replicating someone elses work,very true
