Well seeing as how the US box art had no dark outlines anyway, I don't think it makes much of a difference. Looks pretty good to me though.

Sonic vs. Knuckles all the way. Like others said, it'll look great as a replacement cover for S&K or as a cover for S3 Complete.

To me it looks like Sonic and Knuckles are just skanking, which feels appropriate considering the music fads of the era.

Still, an alternate, authentic Sonic & Knuckles boxart in line with the other three games would be intriguing to see fully-realized.

I now consider this canon for the image.

Yeah... Not that it's not a good vectorization, but I'm not sure it will help achieve the looks of the old illustrations...

Oh yeah, the old Sonic 2 box-art doesn't have black outlines, they're coloured, and much much thinner, that's a fairly easy fix

Theres another Greg that has paid tribute to this one.

That's a damn good effort!

[ashthedragon]

That's pretty cool!

I love the Sonic Vs Knuckles art, but I'd have to be a bit picky about it being S&K boxart. (Luckily this was only a sketch so I suppose I can get away with some criticism :P) I'd argue that tails should be removed for the boxart, at least when a proper image is released, and replaced with the traditional angry, arms flailing Robotnik (maybe in his Mushroom Hill boss machine?) I could nitpick about the trees and mushrooms not fitting the in-game style all day, (I'm sure whoever cleans it up will take all this into account) but I would also throw out there that you shouldn't forget some action in the background. The current sketch seems rather plain and the mock-up above, while pretty cool imo, leaves a lot to be desired for a hypotheical "finalized" boxart. That being said though, its fucking amazing we even have this opportunity to begin with. I've thrown my two-cents out there, but I'll patiently be awaiting people's interpretations as they come in. :P

[Yeow]

Definitely the Sonic vs. Knuckles one. The Labyrinth one looks very generic and the Metropolis one has Sonic the Assface on it.

That fan-made tribute of Greg's S&K piece a knothole resident posted looks great.

[ICEknight]

That's a pretty good attempt, but I can see the shading going everywhere in some places.

Also, it lacks certain details like Greg's usual blueish shading in the eyes and, judging by the sketched outline, I'm not sure if his intent was to make Knuckles' eyes reach that far near his nose, even if it looks better like this.

EDIT: Regarding the trees and mushrooms not fitting, I believe they're based on the Mushroom Hill concept art, which in turn was just Wood Zone's being reused (much like Metropolis and Flying Battery's).

Wow that looks pretty good. Learn from the little mistakes he made and do even better.

Not bad, but I wish an actual airbrush artist would give it a go and make it in the same style as an authentic Martin piece. Deco-style airbrushing is a dying art, but such artists are still out there.
