Artist's Comments

I was watching Sonic X this morning, and hey, Tikal was in the episode! So I... suddenly felt compelled to draw her, 'cause she's cool XD Yay? She was a neat character in Sonic Adventure, and I liked playing as her in the treasure battles in SA2 due to her extra speed (Am I the only person that likes the treasure hunting levels? C'mon! XD)

I took a lot of liberty with light, shadow, and texture, because those are three things I really need to improve on. For one, this piece looks a hundred times better than the original lineart. I'm not used to drawing Echidnas, so I was a little worried about the outcome, but I think it turned out pretty good. The background isn't much (I was originally going to draw the emerald shrine, but I couldn't get it to look neat enough), but I really like how Tikal herself turned out.

I know it's not perfect, but at least I (loosely) used reference this time. I like how her skirt turned out; it looks all... fabric-y :O

Sketch and line on openCanvas, Photoshop Elements for coloring, if you'd like to know :giggle:

I *LOVE* Tikal :D You draw her so welllll~ And the lighting is fantastic!

And I love the Treasure hunting levels too. I liked Rouge's especially, and was actually pretty good ^w^

And Tikal was on Sonic X today? I'm kinda sad I've stopped watching 4KidsTV (ugh) then. Ever since the cancellation of a certain *something*, I can't say I find much there to be of interest :/

Thanks! X3 Yay, another treasure hunting fan!

I can't blame you for not watching I don't make a habit of watching 4KidsTV that much either, because it tends to grate on my nerves after a while. Half the characters all sound the same, and I s'pose it kind've looks sloppy in places (like a bunch of show promotions still using the FoxBox setup).

I miss F-Zero, too T__T Those fiends! :shakefist:

Currently, everything remotely witty and enticing I can possibly think of refuses to fit in the small space for a signature provided. Oh well. Better mindless drivel than an oversized signature. Riiight?

Yay, Tikal! :D

She was my favorite character after Gamma in SA1. :aww: I love the background in this... very cool and tribal. :) I also like the shading. 8-)

Oooh, pretty neat.

I noticed the armlets on her arms are missing, though. :o

Skirt's quite good.

Guh... you draw echidnas a buhzillion times better than I could ever hope to do~ >.o And... Tikal? I've never played SA2~ T_T I'm so old school! *die*

Myuu~ This really is cute, though, Morii. The colouring, illumination effects, texture, and design is purely sublime~ ^o^ I demand more! MORE, I SAY. >XO

Are they? Drat it all, I missed something! XD I should really learn to use reference more diligently while I'm drawing the lineart~

You can really see the emotion in her eyes... it's so.. sad and dark and wahh~~

You did great with the shading! ^^ (Hai, I must work on it too...) I love how it looks sort of slightly like a paintin'sketch thingie~ XD
