Sonic Colors - Success

In some ways I like this picture, but in other ways I don't. It has some interesting details with Tails' translator machine, and the way you drew their shoes. I think you must have put effort into posing and colouring the Wisps, the best ones are the cyan and pink.

I sort of like the background because it reminds me of some retro style I can't quite recall, and I just like rainbows, but I don't think it fits the picture. It doesn't contrast well with the sketchy lines and colouring style. Also it doesn't make sense to me that Sonic seems to have some blue lighting reflected from the background on his shoes and arm, but then there's no blue or green on Tails when he's on the same level as Sonic.

I would suggest a cartoony outer-space background, without too much detail might have worked better. It would suit the games' setting and slightly childish themes.

I know you can draw Sonic better than that! He looks all flat down his left side. I think it would've looked better with his head turned a little more away from the viewer, or more towards them. His arm seems to stick out more than usual, it might've helped if we could see more of his tan chest. I think you should see a little of his left arm too, there's only a few ways he could be holding it to have it entirely hidden, and his relaxed pose doesn't really suggest them.

Tails is okay I guess, but a little too squarish and a combination of his pose and the translator device make it hard to see how his right leg attaches to him. His face is cute though, he looks pleased with himself and his latest gadget.

Overall, I'd rate this better for impact and the ideas behind it, but the technique is not your best. I hesitated a little to critique it, but you've opted in for this, and there's that stamp asking for comments, so I went ahead anyway. <img src="e.deviantart.net/emoticons/a/a…" width="19" height="19" alt="" title="Sweating a little..."/>
