Oh, you guys are still here? Don't you guys have things to do??? Fine. Where were we?
Finally, our heroic Blue Blur gains his trademark color!
More sky and one of the buildings gains its color.
Remember how I said in the previous update that I put the enerbeam in for some lightning? Welp, now you see it here on the wall.
The rest of the building is colored in with some work on the windows on the building next door. You'll also note some color on the cars in the Ferris wheel.
One more building to go! The detail work on this shading was crazy, especially on that back building. Why do I do sketches like this again???? ;)
I don't know if I pointed this out previously, but do note that I extended the grind rail back behind the wheel and down, to add a bit of continuity, as well as another cable to the wheel itself. For power and pizzazz.
The final building has been shaded! Now for the tricky part -- the wheel itself.
I chose to shade the wheel the same color as the sky, but with black undertones to indicate the wheel itself. Extra shading is also given to the grind rail to match the theme.
Five pieces of blending material, folded over. That's how many it took to blend this together. I don't mind though -- blending is one of my favorite parts of the sketch.
So I thought this time around, instead of photographing the sketch, I'd scan it into my laptop instead. This was the result.
Then I went and enhanced it, because the last attempt was a smidgen too fuzzy.
I showed this to one of my siblings, who informed me that I needed to darken the sky and make the buildings and the mustache pop out. I did this and then went over a few spots with a mahogany pencil to add to the atmosphere. I don't know if can compare to the graphics of the game itself, but it was worth it.
Well, thanks for suffering through this tedious sketch process. I'll make a video version on my YouTube channel. I probably won't include the explanations (at least not all of them), but if you'd like to see the sketch in video form, I'll attach the link to my channel below. Have an awesome day, y'all!
