That Shadow one looks really great. Oh and so do the rest. But I like Shadow more.
Agreed. Shadow looks pretty awesome.
Christ these are awful.
I’ve seen better on fucking DeviantArt.
Agreed.
It’s like they commissioned a group of fine artists that didn’t know what to do and just referenced official and/or online fan renders.
This could’ve been a chance to showcase that Sonic can be a touch deeper than merely a brand. I’m not expecting some Rembrandt or Matisse bs, but these just feel like surface level product placement.
I don’t doubt the artists capabilities, but man these are just bland at best regardless of technical ability.
These are some pretty different takes on some of the older renders but they’re alright. That first one with Sonic grabbing the rings is pretty cool with how they dissolve while he’s in the middle of grabbing them. Almost makes more sense to someone who doesn’t understand how those things work. It’s nice to see Shadow given some love too though.
