I do have that shirt for real. Must find it though... I'm very easy to spot in a crowd, don't you think?
And that's without you seeing my boots or when I wear black eyeliner and red hair extensions.
I just love all those things. I'm such a weird thing~

Epic shirt

Hey Marama nice to have you back. Your work looks great as always. Especially looking forward to seeing some of your digital work. Mastering that is no easy feat, but looks like your well on your way already, so best o luck to you there.

The black/red robotnik shirt fits really well with the rest of your outfit

Constructive Criticism Welcomed! I want to become a better artist~

This time I won't let too much time pass between drawings as long as I have the time to do it.

Original in pencil then in Photoshop. First tried using the pen tool and only got as far as drawing Sonic sans the left arm. The thing is HELL. I don't know how some poeple have the patience to do entire drawings with it. And I also felt that if I used it then it wouldn't be my art because I just had to move lines around and tell it to paint the strokes. So did the inking by hand with the tablet. First try didn't look so well but the second came out just how I wanted it...and I'm not sure what I did different. ;
Did it pretty quickly too~

Wanted to draw the Sat-AM style but also mix it with my own I remade the show's title screen's pose and then added Sally to practice her too.

Still struggling with the 3-mohawk quills trying to make them be 3-dimensional and thick instead of flat fins. They came out too short and the angle doesn't help them either as they're pointing at an angle behind him they are shortened even more, so will have to keep playing on giving that angle impression while keeping them longer too.

Oh wow, I love it. Wonderful work as always Mara!

It is SatAM style,but still your own.I like the hair for Sally.It's good you touched it up.And Sally without her vest is always good :B

I've had this one around for a few weeks now but was waiting to color it before showing it. however, classes have kept me busy and I haven't touched it so here goes the pencil art and as far as I got in digital inking with oC. If you'd notice. I made some small changes to the digital lines. Still need more fixing. Like how Sally's eyelashes are not symmetrical.

Awww, that's really lovely. You've left poor Sally looking a little lifeless in the eyes there though. That a touch-up you're saving for colour?

If it's because of the lack of shading in the eyes then yes.

[randomizer]

Marama just likes to portray Sonic as a necro going for all the lifeless women. Zombeh fetish perhaps?

An update but not about art. About myself.

I haven't mentioned it here but the reason I've been inactive and without new art is because I hurt my back some weeks ago. Had to go to doctor twice in a lot of pain to be injected for it and given pills that put me to sleep in the evenings. I got a very nasty and almost constant muscle spasm right behind my shoulder blades and anything makes it hurt, I even have to walk slow and softly because I will feel it in my spine. I like to joke saying I have a busted Shock Absorber because it's sort of like I can feel my spine taking the movement. If in the car, while taking curves or go over uneven roads it hurts too if it moves side to side.

So I got X-rays and those showed something that's kept me worried. Early signs of Spondylosis(Click link to read about it) which just confirms the suspicion of a doc back WHEN I was 20(I'm 25 now) of me having Osteoarthritis.

So, I'm just screwed. Early degenerative conditions that have no cure, only get worst and can only deal with the symptoms. Right now I'm getting physical therapies with electroshock, warm pads, ultrasound and massages. I've already taken it 6 days.... and I'm still very much the same... In fact, today when I went to it I was in a lot of pain and when it was over, I still had it. A tiny bit less but it's back to full blast right now. The only way I'm truly comfortable and ease the pain is to lay on my back over a bunch of pillows. Sitting at the computer hurts so haven't been doing much of that either.
Gotta wait for my last 4 therapies and go back to doc to see what she says and if she sends me to do something else or does more studies or whatever because I'm not really improving and it's already been like 3 weeks. All I've been doing is go to school and then back home to sleep.

I've been assigned the next Sea3on short but thankfully I have enough time for it so I can recover first, so far I haven't really done much other than very messy story boarding to at least get the imagery out. I've been trying to keep myself busy because if I'm let to think about it, I'm gonna get depressed.

So, just wanted to let you guys know...

This little post is making me hurt more so going to sleep now...

[Ratty Randnums]

Oh wow. I'm so sorry to hear that D:. Well, I hope an effective way to treat your pain is figured out soon. You have my best wishes.

[randomizer]

That is a devastating diagnosis. I wish you all the best.
