Well you guys know me, I do love a good crossover. Take a moment, mix two things together, do a good job of it and you're practically guaranteed to nab my attention. Cross something over with the Sonic franchise, and you'll have captured both my attention and my interest. Get to work mixing and matching two of my favorite videogame franchises... Well, lets just say you'd be entering "take my money" territory.

So I was strolling through my account a while back, just taking inventory if you will. Lo and behold when I was done, I discovered that I had no image of Sonic rocking the legendary tunic he scored from the Zelda Sonic Lost World DLC. Of course I couldn't let such an oversight stand. Its a travesty to think I haven't drawn Sonic up like this just yet. So I got to work.



The Hero of Time never looked so good.



The creative juices really got flowing for this one. I had so much fun decking Sonic out in a set of threads almost, if not as iconic as he is. I went a step further and made a few additions to the tunic he trotted out in SLW. I gave him a touch of the chain mail that Link holds onto for some of his journeys. On top of that, I added in that sweet blue scarf made popular by the recent Hyrule Warriors. I even added a bit of Boom flair too it by tightly wrapping it around his neck. Everything else fell right into place. The brown leather gloves, the hat (I could swear that hat was designed to fit him) and everything else came out great.

The pose is something I wanted to try ever since I figured out how to manipulate my own fingers into making a TriForce. It wasn't easy getting Sonic's fingers to do the trick, but once again my diligence (a.k.a stubbornness) was rewarded. One quick word of warning to all of you kiddies out there, don't try to imitate this gesture at home. Only the chosen one's of the TriForce are allowed to throw up this sign and not evoke the wrath of the gods.

But I couldn't stop there. No Hero of Time can blaze his path of glory without the Sword of Evil's Bane at his side. So you know I had to graph the Master Sword to his back. Then I decided Fi needed a buddy and since Sonic is hands down the fastest blade in the North, West, East and South, I figured he could pull a Kirito and throw down with some Dual-Wielding showmanship. (Somewhere Link is turning green with envy lol). Who better to keep a Sword Spirit company than another within a Sacred Sword? Caliburn was an obvious choice. So now Sonic's armed to the teeth. Its almost to the point where you can't even see the Hylian Shield I have strapped to his back.

I could have left the image there, but then I remembered that there are several BroDogz by-lays that prevent me from drawing Link without also somehow cramming Navi in there too. So as a result Sonic nabbed himself a know-it-all travel companion for his trip. I couldn't leave him with just one glowing ball of light to guide the way. No-no-no, Sonic's far too much Hero for one tour guide to handle. So I gave him a second. Tikal will lend her friend a helping hand just for good measure. So from Hyrule to Hydrocity, Sonic will always have a solid grasp on the lay of the land.



*whew*



That was a lot, but seriously this was worth every drop of sweat I poured into it. This here is the Blue Blur as the ultimate Bas@$$. Its one of the coolest things I've ever drawn and my only regret is that I can't afford the seconds to spend more time with it. I've got a meaty commission line to tend to, so alas, I gotta cut this one loose.

So you guys can just sit back and enjoy this one. Sonic looking cool just for the sake of looking cool. He'll save Princess Zelda, slay Gannon and save the day in record time. Or he'll go crazy trying to juggle conversations with Navi, Caliburn, Fi and Tikal all at once. I'd say he's got a 50/50 shot of tipping the scales either way.

Ah, and speaking of commissions, if anyone out there wants a commission then use this to get your process started.
