Rare Sonic Art (And restoring it)

Sorry if I sound ignorant, but does Oshima have a personal website w/ his artwork?

 

Did he mention anything about that picture? Or was this just "Gimme a pic" "Here you go"?

 

This was posted some time ago in another thread, right?

I spotted it at an FYE the otehr day.

 

A friend sent me some of these via e-mail. Some of them you've already seen, but seem to be in better quality. The one of Eggman taking some SatAM influence is interesting.

 

Looks like Jet had more wing-like hands and talon feet.

Amusing that Blaze's feet in the middle image look like Big's.

 

Those Sonic and Tails renders look... different (Not the models just the positioning of them).

Sonic 4 promo art to be?

 

And he actually looks a lot better that way. Less "Original-the-character-esque".

That outfit on Blaze is cool, was that ever used or is it concept art?

 

I believe that concept art for Blaze was for Secret Rings.

 

And somehow they missed Proto-Cream/Marine and Clog Shoe Female Tails.

 

I've never seen that Knuckles render in the back: http://orangeunicorn1984.deviantart.com/art/Knuckles-48-Bop-Bag-Box-216416660

 

I like that Blaze with the alternate outfit. They totally should have used that somewhere!

I've seen that Riders concept art before (in this topic, I think) and I gotta say, Tails with orange hands just looks weird, even if that is his natural hand colour. They look like they should be white, even without gloves... Of course it might just be the bigger-than-torso-style Riders hands that bug me, 'cause gloveless Tails doesn't really look that strange in Sonic X...

 

Supposedly from Sonic and Knuckles.

 

I'm getting a Sonic CD vibe just from looking at this

 

I don't see an improvement... That looks way too dark.

Why "supposedly"? Where was it scanned from?

 

I wish they'd kept that design, it's a lot more consistent with the enemy designs in Tails Adventures. You'd think that they'd realise wings are the biggest defining feature of birds.
