Rare Sonic Art (And restoring it)

Have you people seen this? Before I add it to the wiki, is it already in it?

 

I literally have never seen this on my life, and holy hell, it's a cute one.

 

I've seen it, but never in this quality. Great find!

 

It's from an old official alarm clock program for Windows. Here's a screenshot:

Spoiler

It was distributed on the web back in the 90's. I can upload it if anyone wants it, but keep in mind that that's the only art it has.

I wonder if I should write a wiki article on it? @Black Squirrel?

 

Yes, it should have a page. And a download.

As for the art already being on the wiki? Not sure.

Has anyone seen that Eggman anywhere before?

 

Has this Sonic 2 art been spotted anywhere else than this badge?


Fun fact: The odd black spots are actually part of the printed art, not dirt.

Looks new to me.

 

It looks very neo classic Sonic art, like it was drawn recently.

 

It was made for the UK 1993 Sonic calendar.

Ah, there it is. Thanks.

Now I wonder where the badge came from... I think they were given away with some magazine but really can't remember.

Some asset discs for Sonic stuff popped up on archive.org. Specifically, this has the RAW TIFF files for the Sonic Riders artwork, all of it, it seems!

 

Here's one I forgot to post some years ago. Some kind of poster for Sonic 1?

 

woah that’s a weird looking sonic

 

That is beautiful. I've never seen that GHz art before.

 

Some more art:

 

Big shout-out to console repair guru and Sega superfan The SegaHolic (Youtube: https://www.youtube.com/c/SegaHolic, Twitter: @The_SegaHolic) who provided me with some images from a Sega Harmony auction he missed out on a few years ago:



At the top right is Harmony Vol. 112, which was missing from Sonic the Hedgehog The Screen Saver, Sonic Jam and the Sega Freaks trading card set.

Has this art with the VERY UPSETTING controller ever appeared on anything else?

 

I've only seen it in that folder and the trapper keeper version.

Here we have some of the JP Sonic 2 artwork. We've seen some of these like 1000 times, but some of these seem new. I've never seen that Death Egg Robot or Mecha Sonic art, and some of those Robotnik and Tails poses seem verrryyy unfamiliar.

 

I've thrown these onto imgur: https://imgur.com/a/dGALhFI

A bunch of never before seen stuff and line-art of illustrations from the manual. Sonic/Tails/Eggman/Badniks/Mecha Sonic/Death Egg boss.
