ShadiWulf from Rings & Emeralds has discovered the website of the art studio that was commissioned to produce concept artwork for Sonic World Adventure (or Sonic Unleashed to you and I). Geoffroy Thoorens, on his personal website Djahalland, was working at art studio AOKI when they were asked to provide settings for the game back in 2007. He has recently uploaded all of those works online, and you can see them here (or on the Djahalland website).
Click the image to see all the Concept Art
The concept art is focused on the stages found in the final game, you can even see some of your favourite moments from the game like the lood de loops in Holoska. The artwork is amazing for the persons first job, it’s great to see how much effort went into the design on the stages and it certainly shows, in this art and the final game.

The artwork from this game is beautiful – absolutely stunning in fact. I might inquire about getting prints, seeing as SEGA seem so reluctant to do them
Ah is that the SA1 Whale? lol
That image is indeed breathtaking. Inspiring to say at least.
Seeing that whale in the picture makes me wish it’d be in the Wii version… Meh.
Awesome concept art though nevertheless!
Beautiful is a fakt that is it!! Would love to have a pic ore two on my wall!:D
Not exactly imaginative but I can’t argue with this stunning digital painting. Prints? Com on Sega, please!!
so beautiful…. hehe, they really are something.
Oh wow…some of those were absolutely brilliant. I like a lot of the Holoska ones especially!
OMGS SA1 WHALE!!!!! Wow, these are really pretty. If only they went with that whole foresty looking one. I like that one the best.
Oh, i wish there was art for Apotos and Spagonia! I would so want the prints!
