Beautiful Flames

<EDIT> This officially has more favs than the original, making it my most faved picture yet. Thanks, everyone! Let's hope I can top this soon enough!</EDIT>

Full color of the month for August 2014~
_{I'm aware this makes two Sonic FCs with fire in a row but next month I'll do something different
you know... whenever I think of what I'm doing}

Those who have been watching me since my... *cough* past days might know what this is already. I decided to redo my most popular piece of artwork (127 favs as of right now) on this account from 2012.

(August 11th, 2012)

yup look at that. I've improved. Maybe about 7%. 8 tops, let's not go as crazy as 9.

I remember making the former in only a few hours. Back then, my standard was "if your line art is bad, your shading will make up for it", and I CAN'T BELIEVE I ever thought that okay wow. Anyways, I remember working on this in PSE7, and was having a great time doodling fire and lights with no regard for anatomy. Fingers don't bend that way. Blaze are you okay. I think your arms are broken. And your legs. Your entire body is broken you might want to sit down.

Since my previous picture needed LOTS of improvement and I never included an official background, I had some fun. Contrasting skies with a city at night... I had huge inspiration from Pennsylvania since I was there last weekend, and the sky in the mountains was GORGEOUS why didn't I take pictures we just don't know.

FOR COMPARISON, I threw this into the famous Meme: Before and After by :
