Holiday Scrapniks!!
Fun fact, I actually drew most of these last year, but decided not to post because the scrapnik island miniseries hadn't finished yet.
We wanted to keep people in suspense with whether or not things were going to be okay in the end!
A mean little lie for a happy ending >:^)
In Stars and Time (Main Theme) - from the In Stars and Time OST by @thumpypuppy
another quick isat piano cover i picked up by ear! the main theme of isat has something special about it i can’t quite describe. i remember booting up the game for the first time not really knowing anything about it since it was a gift, hearing this song, and immediately just knowing that this game was going to be a very special experience for me. and it was!
Hey hey! The Scrapnik Island trade book comes out 2 days from now, on 8/29! Since I haven't posted them here yet, here's all 4 of my covers for the miniseries!
Additional thoughts about the covers themselves below:
Big thank yous to David Mariotte and Riley Farmer! They were really kind in letting me do the A covers for this miniseries, ALONG with character design and coloring work!
My goal for these covers was to make them feel like old horror movie posters. I also strategically tried to not reveal Mecha Sonic in most of them, as the covers were being announced before the story details at the time and we really wanted Mecha's return to be a big surprise! (Natalie Haines' cover absolutely knocked it out of the park for that reveal)
Color-wise, like the story itself, I wanted to gradually increase the amount of red and intensity until the breaking point of the finale in #4.
For the 4th cover, I really wanted to depict the intense emotions of the finale. The fight between Sonic and Mecha Sonic, the Death Egg's shadow looming over it all, and at the bottom, a sunflower, falling into a burning incinerator.
However, I also wanted to make it so if you flip the image, like someone miraculously flipped the entire situation upside-down, instead of falling into a burning abyss, the sunflower is meeting a beautiful new sunrise, a new day.
