For Sonicolas

Description

I started this back in April but had not found the time to finish it off until now. A belated birthday and DA anniversary gift for :iconsonicolas:, who's been with the community for just a little over 10 years now... which means I've also been around for a decade as well. Goodness we're old! XD

=sonicolas is well known for his work on the DA sonic club, but I know him best for our projects in the Technoguild. He's always been our valiant 'Code Ninja', dropping in and solving many of our technical problems at a moment's notice. I learned a lot from him, and I don't think we could have accomplished as much without his help. So yeah, sorry for the delay but I hope you enjoy this little tribute. It's been great growing together with you. Hopefully we will find the time work together again. =]

Process

This was sculpted in zbrush using dynamesh and zremesher. Textures were made with polypaint and surface noise. Final render was done using a combination of the BPR pass method and a straight BPR filter pass. Background and post work was done in Photoshop using some photo reference from my recent Japan trip. Thanks to ~SteelEmissary for the feedback. =]

Oh also initial sculpting was done on my Samsung ATIV Pro! ;D

Wow, this caught me by surprise!
... And I am pretty speechless.

I'm evaluating the amount of work this must have taken, from character analysis to modeling, texturing and finally rendering...
You probably put more thought in this than I did when I actually did when designing and rendering him, ahha.
Gah, I can't help but feel that I am not worthy of such gift. You did an awesome job at recreating the character despite limited amount of work available.

That said, I really, really appreciate it. Really, I've been grinning for the whole hour I spend trying to write this comment and I feel that I need to improve and return back the favour. 
Thank you Jason for the present, for reinvigorating my drive to draw and contribute again, and lastly - but certainly not least - for being a friend.

And hey, it seems that Elson and you are from the same neighborhood now. Man, I gotta catch up with what's happening. Starting to lose grasp of the ninja intel absorbtion way. XP
I'll catch you later then~
