A dear friend of mine had his birthday in November (I drew this in November, don't worry, I'm just late to post it as always). He's a VERY dedicated fan of Sonic. And as a good Dutchman he likes frikandel broodje!

Frikandel has been a running joke between us. So when i was brainstorming what to draw for this birthday drawing, I thought 'Whoa! What if I draw him eating frikandel instead of a cake!? I'm so original!!'

So I started looking for Sonic references and... Bruh, it turns out Sonic's canonical fav dish is chili dog?? WHAT WERE THE CHANCES  So my super original frikandel eating Sonic now looks like an average Sonic with a weird looking chili dog.

Anyways... I stuck to it regardless.

I had a lot of trouble getting Sonic's body shape right. Bro has a really weird anatomy... On the first sketch, I was making the body way too fat and the ears extremely long. The body still looks weird, especially on the hip area, but it's definitely an improvement over what I started with.

I do like what the eyes look like. I wanted to make the shiny eyes that I sometimes see in anime when a character sees something they like. I think i managed to convey that just fine.

Finally, I like the environment. The globes look colorful yet not too distracting! And the ground is an obvious reference to Green Hills as any Sonic fan would probably recognise.

Anyways, I don't think it's my bestest piece work. In fact, my friend said he didn't like it: he *loved* it (I got scared at first too...). So i choose to believe :)
