Rare Sonic Art (And restoring it)

"Let's Get Blueballs!"

Well... at least we know that it was used in print.

 

Hey, another AM3 Sonic.
One thing that immediate jumps out to me is Sonic's render on the first page.
I wonder if Uekawa used that one drawing as reference for his concept art?

 

Seems like it's a pose that they reference a lot.


And here's a pencil case that I also scanned.


Link to scans. Seems that artwork for Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles come from that SegaSonic style guide someone here was looking for.

 

Wow, it's that picture.
Naoto Ohshima commented on its origins.

 

Some recent artwork I scanned:
Sonic X magazine preview ad. Link


SegaSonic notebooks. Link 1 and Link 2





Illustration on one of three Sonic Chronicles shirts that were given in contest. Link

Original version:


Other version with his right colors I made:

 

Well well well! If it isn't the origin of @Vertekins' avatar!

 

Wow. Haven't seen that Sonic X poster since before the series was out.

 

Bought a pencil box and scanned the artwork on it. Link to scans.

 

Wow, this is such a great render.

 

I did some color correction on the artwork to bring it more in line with the colors used on Adventure's artwork (because why not?)

 

Not sure if anyone here saw this tweet already, I'm linking it here just in case.

 

We now know who one of the uncredited composers in Sonic Superstars were...

 

Old Sonic toys are technically rare Sonic art, of a 3d kind. I think people should start trying to archive them by 3d scanning what it's possible to 3d scan. Like, for example, MrTalida's KeshiCorner project or Wesk's 3d scans of gaming hardware.


This could be us.

Yes, this is a suggestion with no contribution or offer. Actually, the suggestion is an offer. You get a great idea and I'm giving you it for free. 3d scanning tech and accessories not included.
