This is amazing!! I especially love the look on Vector. I always admired the American style of art and I wish there was more art of the characters. Great work!! Followed!!!

No comment on this one either. Just some style mimicry.
RIP Greg Martin. There are so many artists in the video game industry that will never receive the kind of love Martin got for his work. It helps that he contributed to one of the most dedicated fanbases, I suppose. His is definitely my favorite of the Sonic designs but that's partially because I never got a Sega console after the Genesis and the few times during my childhood that I ever drew Sonic characters was while referencing his style.
ICam2k responds:
There are certainly other artists that might've been just as striking, but Martin certainly stands out the most when it comes to Western video game art, especially from the way he paints the shading on characters and their surroundings. Some people nowadays tend to dismiss his interpretation of the blue blur because he looks "barely expressive", to which on one way I can undertand. But I still can't deny the charm that's provided. I still love that mohawk, to which it can shape up into a buzzsaw when he rolls into a ball. Obvious, but ingenious.
