OneHourSonic: Sonic and Ring

I had some free time today, so I decided to try my hand at speed painting and make something small for the group. I wanted to start out small, so I just stuck with making this quick drawing of Sonic and a ring and working with that.

The biggest thing holding me back with making this was the background; I had only a rough idea of what I wanted to do with it and just ran with it thanks to only having an hour to make this. Regardless, for my first time speed painting I'm pretty happy with the result. Although I'd like to take it easier on the Dodge & Burn tools next time and try to choose the colors for myself, since I could learn a lot more about using color that way.

EDIT 4/12/2012: This is now in the new banner over at Sonic Paradox's YouTube page. Pretty cool stuff, if you ask me. [link]
