Commentary and Featured Art
Blaze The Hedgehog Most of my art of Blaze or Glacia
started with bases (aka the basic line art such
as circles for the heads and outline of the
body). Such as this drawing for example, it
started as a base that someone else was kind
enough to make and post it on Deviant Art
for free use. I did have problems drawing
hands which was the reason I would use a
base. The coloring, shading, and extra details
such as the bump mapping on the picture is
my work, but the basic outline of the charac-
ter was created by another person. I have
now began to be able to make my own out-
lines for my drawings so I don’t have to use a
base. Although this is true, sometimes if I see
a really good base I use it for a picture.

Background Info: Blaze the hedgehog is
the guardian of the RED chaos emerald. As
you might of guessed he uses fire powers.
He is some what of a speed/tank type,
meaning he moves quickly and can take a
pounding. Blaze lost his mother while he
was still a baby because she was shot. His
father, Heat the hedgehog, raised him ever
since and was killed during an invasion in
his hometown by Eggman. Blaze escaped,
but his father’s death was an accident. They
were left to die as they bought G.U.N. units
time to escape. Blaze searches for the man
responsible for letting his father die.
Glacia The Hedgehog Lets face it, most things that keep series going from suspension is a love interest. Just
like any story, I knew that one would be needed. Plus I couldn’t let my art of Blaze be alone.
While creating Blaze I thought about this and came up with a hedgehog with the power of ice
and named her Glacia (similar to the word Glacier). I don’t mean to brag, but I have to say this
is one of the best pictures of Glacia, just the capture of beauty of art couldn’t be any better.
Again yes, a base was used, the simple circle for the head and the arms, head, and torso. I
couldn’t find the base on Deviant Art to post it in this article unfortunately. Glacia grew up
with Blaze and was separated from him during the invasion of their home town from Eggman.
She was told to run with the G.U.N. military retreating from Eggman’s army. Both Glacia and
Blaze share a special bond and rely on each other for protection. While separated, neither of
them feel safe. When they fight together they have deadly combinations due to their power
types. While creating Glacia I decided to make her more of a hit-and-run type of character.
She can deal damage, but doesn’t take hits very well.
Background Info: Glacia the hedgehog was born in the
Ice Caps of Mobius (home planet of Mobians). She was
moved down from there while she was young because of
Eggman trying to take over the place. Her parents felt it
wasn’t safe for her to stay, so she was moved south, staying
were Blaze lived in her own house however. After running
with the G.U.N. army, the power corrupt general tricks her
into pledging to join his forces if she ever wants to find
Blaze.

Featured: Austin Fraser
Background Info: Chandler was a
military experiment that created a
fierce one Mobian military force. Chan-
dler was stripped from his home as a
child and forced into training by the
G.U.N army. Special chemical experi-
ments caused his fur to become
stronger than steel, and can withstand
immense amounts of heat and can stop
bullets. Those chemicals also caused
Chandler to have incredible strength.
Chandler’s namesake comes form his
ability called “Break”, in which he vi-
brates the molecules of whatever he is
touching, causing the item to explode
violently.
Chandler Break The Dog This drawing of Chandler by Austin Fraser was one of
the best characters I’ve ever seen him draw. This is the first
time he ever drew a Sonic fan character. It took him about an
hour to do the drawing. Coloring and shading took him
about 3 hours. I watched him draw this using Gimp, and he
worked amazingly hard on it. Definitely looks like he spent
hours on it. He has only drawn two pictures of Chandler. I
would definitely like to see more and personally I would like
to request a drawing of Blaze from him.

Jolt The Hedgehog This is Austin Fraser’s third drawing of
one of his Sonic fan characters named Jolt. I
have to say Austin does absolutely amazing on
his characters. Especially the way he shades
them. They look absolutely amazing. You can
definitely see their inner traits in them when
you just take a look at them on the outside. Jolt
as you could probably tell has lightening pow-
ers. After drawing Chandler, Fraser had the
urge to draw another made up character. He
thought about it and proposed this to me. I
think it looks very nice. It almost look like it has
a glossy touch to with the way he has shaded it
which I love.
Background Info: Not much is know
about Jolt. All that is known is that he
was a G.U.N. Military experiment that
went wrong.

Mitchie Problem-Solver *Mitchie5* is an artist who loves to draw cartoon characters
and Anime. She plans on working for the famous Cartoon Network
as a voice actor for her career. She has definitely gained a lot of
support for her hard work, and she continues to fight for her fu-
ture. She usually takes art request. You send in a request and she
will draw what you are wanting. You can find her Facebook fan
page on the reference page in the back of this magazine. Her art is
absolutely amazing. She should not have any problems getting into
Cartoon Network I say. Both drawings below are things she drew
and had them sent into Cartoon Network to show them how skill-
ful she is at cartooning. I have to add that the character collage
(bottom left) is just flawless. The characters are just dead centered
detailed correctly and look exactly like what the look like off of the
shows on Cartoon Network. I had to feature this art because of
how amazingly well she worked and done on them. The anime
character (top left) is just a random drawing she did. Even though
there is no color its still down right wonderful. Lots of detail and I
assume the hair on the character must have taken ages.
