ring racers making my brain work in regards to classic sonic and how it's best treated as an art style and unused concepts and so on

Some Sonic sketches from may/june of 2022. I referenced art by Yuji Uekawa and Satoshi Okano

This... other one was from a couple of days before the other sketches, when I tried drawing him from memory. Just for comparison lol

In case you missed it, a former designer from SEGA, Satoshi Okano has been revealing some concept artwork from Sonic Adventure and various other games, and even revealed the full design of a character that was hidden in Speed Highway. This is my take on that Spider woman, apologies it's a bit eye strain-y. Not quite sure why my mind went neon raver. She did have her original legs, then tights before settling on hairy legs that look like those fluffy leg warmers!

Lots of new #Sonic Adventure & Sonic Jam concept art has come to like courtesy of Satoshi Okano! He's posted concept art for various locations within the Egg Carrier, a tower in the Mystic Ruins, & buildings in Sonic Jam's Sonic World. #SonicNews #SonicTheHedgehog

MAN. Satoshi Okano's art of Sonic is just astounding. He did the "Sonic on skateboard" and "DJ Sonic" pieces which were lined and coloured by Uekawa but this specific artwork of Sonic singing with a mic was never given the same treatment.

[kinopioa]

Satoshi Okano recently posted his concepts for the Spider Girl easter egg in Sonic Adventure amongst his Samba De Amigo art. I cleaned up the pic and colored my interpretation

Interestingly, I have a feeling this was a later "censored" concept compared to the CG render used for the poster

Wonder if he still has the model...

So for whatever reason it looks like I totally forgot to post the finished piece I made for Sonic’s 32nd anniversary back in June 😅

Had so much fun trying my hand at all these different art styles from the incredible artists that have worked on the series over the past 3 decades! ☺️

Artist inspirations from top left to bottom right:

Naoto Oshima (Original JP design)

Greg Martin (Classic NA design)

Studio Junio (Sonic CD opening animation)

DiC Animation

Satoshi Okano (Sega Saturn)

Yuji Uekawa (Sonic Adventure)

Sonic X

Sonic Boom

Tyson Hesse (Movie Sonic)

Sega/Marza Animation (Modern 3D Sonic)

Poster inspiration is probably obvious 😉

Sonic Redesign for Sonic Adventure - Satoshi Okano

[bamteam2024]

Had started following you since I stumbled upon that ring-on-the-water picture from Twitter and then your DJMix character stuff; I wondered what were the main inspirations you got for your artwork style. I can tell that you got a taste for SEGA and Y2K stuff (its in the description lol), but thought on asking what were the games in particular that inspired you the most for this.

I have a lot of inspirations for my current styles, most from (as you probably guessed) Sega games! Yuji Uekawa's Sonic Adventure era art, Satoshi Okano's artwork (fantastic stuff btw), NiNO's Puyo Puyo Fever 2 art, Akira Toriyama, Bust a Groove's art, Cool Cool Toon's art and many MANY Y2K art and graphic design. I was heavily inspired by BEMANI's games like beatmania IIDX and DDR when making the djMIX crew! J.Tony, for example, is heavily based on Beat from Jet Set Radio Future and one of the DJs from beatmania IIDX!

There's so much more, but we'd be here all day LMAO.

Hope this answers the question! And thank you for asking!! <3

Former Sonic artist Satoshi Okano took to Twitter today with some cryptic tweets that seem to imply that a Sega vs Capcom game is in development! Full details below!

[hedgehoghavoc]

Thinking of this interview with Satoshi Okano talking about how New York hip hop and street culture influenced his contributions to Sonic's redesign for the Adventure era, name-dropping groups like RUN-DMC, De La Soul, and A Tribe Called Quest.

Another Sonic mystery has been revealed! If you've played Sonic Adventure, chances are you've noticed the mystery billboard girl in Speed Highway. Well, Satoshi Okano has uncovered some old sketchbooks, and found her full design! #SonicNews #SonicTheHedgehog
