Description
This pic is to help settle on the new look for Cream in the COA:ACO reload project. Compared to the earlier works, I was aiming to have her appear far more like a natural development of the character rather than so AU. So I tried to have her look a lot more like Cream, except taller and a bit more mature, while retaining some of the "cuteness."Truth be told, I was thinking of retconning her out entirely. Her role was rather one sided and annoying in the original COA, but I decided she was too important to pass off entirely or replace. So i toned her down more in the re-write. She's still playing the role of the "nice girl" in Tails otherwise screwed up circle of female associations (coughFionacoughWave), though.
She's fairly ordinary as far as COA characters go.
Also in the pic is one of the Sonic Riders 2 inspired armored motorcycles. Cream uses one ( Tails' ) in Chapter 5 of the "COA:A Chosen One" rewrite.

Yep the nice ones are always the ones to look out for, evil blighters... [glares at Cream]
But yea I agree with Ape32, as it seems to just fit Cream in general [I can't see her changing that much if she was ever allowed to growup]. For most of the Sonic characters in fact, I can't see many of them changing too much in appearance, except for Bunnie [if she got derobotized] and Sally [becoming Queen or not].
The most the guys can hope for is beards... Probably.
The art style is simplistic and yet the colours give off rich vibrance so that tons of detail isn't essential [imo].
Some large 'epic' drawings can just become a nightmare when coloured or inked in, and depending on the artist, that can show in the final output [for good or worse]. The focus of the picture can be lost etc.
So less can equal more if you know to use the space and palette well! XD

Thanks. I've always said I'm more a writer who likes to sketch than a proper artist like so many here on Devart. But visualizing something often helps in writing for it and planning for it.
As for the older character models, I've made some use of the comics (M25 years later arc) and many fine works by people here on this site to come up with an approximation that I think works for my purposes. Thanks again for the comments; keep en eye out for future stuff I'll be uploading from time to time!

"Nice Girl"... isn't there some old saying about "Beware the Nice Ones"?
But in any case, its always good to see these little "basic stat" pictures, and I like how you've taken her back to her original look more. Not that there was anything wrong with her more "commando" look, its just kind of nice to see the familier look. Also like how you've treated her in the rewritten chapters.
"Chao" Empathy? How might that work? Call me fuzzy minded, but aren't chao supposedly myhical chaos cosmic horrors in the COA-verse?

Heh. Beware indeed... though for the time being (pre-NWO) she's nice enough! I'm glad you like where I've gone with the character in the divergence.
As for the troublesome Chao, you're right. Chao are still the "flesh" of the Master Emerald, and still the little horrors that infested and overran Haven. In that respect, "Chao Empathy" may not be a very good thing to have at all!

Suddenly it becomes clear how it was so easy for Cheese to sway her to him... after all, empathy for the blue booger probably makes one all the more suseptible to its charms.

haha! Blue booger!
I gotta find a use for that one!
