SONIC 20th Anniversary Cards [WAVE 3]: 12 of 28 METAL SONIC ★ First Appearance :: Sonic the Hedgehog CD (SEGA Mega CD), 1993 ★ Age :: Unknown ★ Height :: 100cm (3'3") ★ Weight :: 125.2kg (276 lbs)
I can't tell you how long I've been itching to do this card. And it came out how I planned it, too!
My previous versions of Metal Sonic have been in rather restricted spaces (SONIC SOUNDSPEED & NINETEEN) so I wanted to use this as an opportunity to create a Metal as true to the official renders as possible in terms of detail. Enjoyed this from start to finish... Even though I've been working double time on two rather time-consuming cards so far this weekend and have turned into a bit of an Art Zombie as a result. Either way, I hope you enjoy this card as much as I enjoyed making it (Not sure that's even at all possible~!) and thanks to those of you who showed up to the LiveStream sessions for this! ♥
This will be available as part of a limited run at Summer of Sonic 2011 as a glossy postcard print (4.13 x 5.82 inches), with flavour text on the back and a big, white space for whatever you want! (I'll even sign it if you like), available to the general public at a later date. Limited run, will cost £3.50 GBP (5.75 USD) each, and £13.00 (21.00 USD) for the entire Wave of four!

This is the most badass drawing I've ever seen of Metal Sonic. My innerchild is squealing. (I grew up with Sonic CD.) I absolutely love the detail you put onto his arms and legs. Sad I missed out on the chance to purchase a print though.
