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.

 

So today is the anniversary of Sonic Labyrinth's release. Was looking up the artwork from the game, and remembered the US / JP box artwork I had uploaded to SonicRetro:



Thing is.. I don't remember where I got it from in the first place. The Japanese cover and manual has the logo on it. So where the hell did I extract this art from?

 

The S&K Collection disk perhaps? I don't even know where any of mines are anymore so I can't check (and I'd be a fool to open another browser tab at this moment), but I could've sworn some unmarked Japanese box art was included for the screensaver or something. I could be thinking of something else though. I thought the GHZ website had some of this art available as well. But again, could be total misremember..ment on my part.

 

Nah, not the S&K Collection. The Labyrinth box art has not appeared in any official capacity in any re-releases.

My recollection was that it was from a magazine somewhere - possibly a Japanese one, or some Labyrinth preview. But which one? no idea.

 

A rare sighting of "tan legged Sonic"

It was used for this:

if only I knew what "this" was. Document it doods.

 

Put some pants on dammit. It's one thing to be riding on a plane around your friends with the hog out, it's another to be running in a city doing it.

 

A little different from the usual for this thread, but the ASRock Sonic motherboard has a unique background image that I don't believe has ever been uploaded to the internet (at least that's what my reverse image searches tell me). Extracted with the help of UEFITool and searching the raw data for "FF D8 FF" (the header for .jpg files):

 

Ooooh! The elusive flesh-legged Sonic!

It appears to be a poster.
