Team Dark vs. the Egg Emperor

As the darkest skies descend upon the Egg Fleet's Flagship, Neo Metal Sonic attempts to rid himself of the ultimate life form using the form of one of his master's most powerful creations. Should Shadow win this fight, he will bring himself one step closer to piecing together his lost past. Should he fail, Metal Sonic will have removed an obstacle to his plan to create the ultimate robot kingdom...

Production Notes:
General
- I made the atmosphere quite dark in this one because I felt the game did not apply any realistic lighting effects and everything else around this battle states that it should be darker than it was presented.
- After the Egg Golem pic, I didn't want to revert back to 8-bit land and cause detail whiplash, if you know what I mean. It didn't work. This was an unnecessarily complex build.
- Overall this is a tad weaker than I thought it would appear as. The lighting effects help, though.
Shadow
- Mostly as I had planned, although due to sizing changes he appears closer to the foreground, and it doesn't appear he's staring at the boss. I'm saying he's staring at the lance.
Rouge
- Her pose turned out as I had planned, but she looks more shocked than I had originally intended.
- Adding the extra lighting effects was not as fun as I had hoped it would be. I was hoping to add reflection effects, but they just would not turn out right. Argh.
- I fused her SA2B, Heroes, and '06/Modern designs to come up with that result, so if details appear to not match up with the Heroes model, that's why.
Omega
- First draw for our favorite tin can here. Unfortunately, I think he looks just like that: A first attempt fan drawing. Again, fusing Heroes and '06 designs led to some oddities. Oh, and yes he's using that '06 lock on attack even though his whole purpose revolved around shooting Shadow and Rouge around.
Boss
- An average build. A few proportions seem off if you ask me, but that's just an opinion.

I just could not wait to get this one done, but it just dragged on forever... I'm going back to 8-bit land if anyone needs me.

Love it! but if you want more thoughtful criticism...

I believe you did a great job on the skies, which also add to the dramatic atmosphere. The designs for the characters are very well made and seem to have required patience, something not all of us have. The boosters and sword slashes are perfect on the sense of the recreation of the game's graphics without having to hold back due to the technology on graphics of the time. You made every little detail great, but I did find something wrong, the turrets on the sides of the path are missing, but otherwise this picture is nearly as good than what the game looked like, better even, considering that the characters are not in a specific formation by leader like in the game.

I thank you for producing this critique. Indeed this piece came about in an age where I had just become determined to not just recreate the graphics of the source material 1:1, but instead recreate them as though I was putting the game on a current generation console. Before the pieces were just a little too accurate, like "Hazard, this is a screenshot, isn't it?" accurate.
As far as the turrets are concerned, I believe it was because I found a patch of the runway that lacked the turrets that I decided I could go without drawing them. I have to reconfirm that though. Also, your last line made me realize that of the two Heroes bosses I've done pieces for, I've indeed not put the characters in any specific formation. I'm not sure if I'll continue that trend or line them up in future Heroes battles.
Thank you for your in depth comment.
