Oh my, this is my BEST line art I've done with a Micron pen
This pic is just a tribute to chibi-jen-hen's[link] and her amazing gallery of Sonic fandom. Chibi's gallery was the first gallery I visited when I first came to Deviant Art looking for good Sonic artist. Her work got me inspired to start drawing Sonic characters again after so many years, her tutorial's really help me out too. So go visite Chibi's gallery, she's an awsome artist.
These are her five fan character, all very creative and original, infact she created the raccoon and two cat characters BEFORE Sega created Blaze and Marine. Chibi gave each character very interesting bio's, she gave her characters alot more personality than many other Sonic artist. Each one of these gals wields a elemental power, they are rivals of Chaotix.
Jade the Cat- Tough girl centered, wields Earth
Ruby the Raccoon- cute girl to the left, controls fire
Emerald the Iguana- fun loving reptile to the right, contols water
Crystal the Cat- upper left kitty cat, use's wind power
Sapphire the Butterfly- smart and proper insect on the upper right, uses lighting.
I'll do more fan characters around DA, but only ones that I find unique and NOT A HEDGEHOG, ECHIDNA or FOX please, SEGA/ARCHIE/FLEETWAY has made ENOUGH of those characters already, But I'll make some exceptions.
Actually, I think she was one of the first Sonic fanartists I saw on this site too, like when I first joined, I watched her a long time ago, but for some reason my devbox stopped getting her deviations and I forgot about her. Yeah, her characters are pretty awesome and have original designs, I like how you drew them here, they all look great!!
And Chib-Jen-hen's characters, they're looking way past cool!

The only thing that bugs me a bit is the feeling that Sapph's left shoe wouldn't really be *completely* hidden by her right.
