This design became iconic and why he had begun to stand out so much! He really made a strong impression and it caused a lot of inspiration to flow from both myself and the many others that were inspired. However, I didn't stop there. I wanted him to seem stronger!
This is what he started as, when I was trying to find my way as an artist. He was also the most fun due to the fact that he was different. I knew when I created him, the idea that he would be formed around was, "A thorn in one's side."
An extension of this thread to show another character that is more on the popular side of course from being pushed out into the spotlight and his origins. Behold, Guan "Thorn" Feng. Of all my characters, he embodies compassion and the will persevere against all odds.
I drew him over and over and over and over again, making small edits, adding color and giving him life! I noticed that I was growing as an artist and I fought with being a perfectionist a lot!
I also create my own content and try to pull characters that I've created in online games into original designs!
I really like the sonic fandom and many others, though I don't interact as much as I should!
Re-uploading with proper @! @Senzu_K 's challenge is where this one belongs!
@Senzu_K My friend, I was already on that boat the moment you spoke of it.
I may play around with this more, since I enjoyed the process on this one. I was thinking on the multi-limbs concept but it would feel to cluttered, so I thought, why not turn the limbs into weapons? That and why not use the web as a form of rope to tie things like weapons?
