Clock-heart - Collaboration - Sonic Fan Character - Kalahari the Kangaroo Rat



This is the Sonic Fan Character that was designed by Clock-heart and myself. When designing the fan characters for my own team we had reached the conclusion that within each group of three there is usually a strength character (example: Knuckles the Echidna), a flight character (Tails the Fox) and a speed character (Sonic the Hedgehog).

So, keeping this formula in mind we’ve already come up with two character types. First the flight character, Shivers the Penguin, and the strength character, Jub the Grizzly. So that leaves the speed character and thanks to clock-heart we picked the kangaroo rat for the speed character.

In terms of her design, I basically wanted a character that was rather brash and tomboy-ish. Thus the reason why the only real clue that you have that Kalahari is a girl is her eyelashes.
It was also during that same night of collaborative creativity that clock-heart also drew up the second picture that you see here.  And giving it to me I set about digitally drawing it. Although the whole experience did make me wish that I had a Wacom Bamboo Tablet or something similar so that way I don’t have to be so careful when using my mouse to trace over the lines. I wish to sincerely thank cl0ckh3art for her collaboration on this.
