Yuji Uekawa Art Archive? (PLUS Metal Sonic/Madness pics)

Post by WB » Tue Jun 15, 2004 5:47 pm

Doe one exist on the net anywhere? I need a picture of as many of his current and rarer pieces of Sonic artwork on the net. One in particular that I'm looking for is a larger picture of "Sonic The Human" - I think its Segata's avatar. Anybody that can help?

<a href="http://membres.lycos.fr/sonicartarchive/">I don't think it has the "Sonic the Human" pic, but how's this?</a>

I love you. Marry me and have my babies. I still need the sonic the human pic though as well as a clear picture of Metal Sonic's current Sonic Heroes design if you have it. Thank you.

I know I have the sonic the human pic somewhere. I'll have it up momentarily, but I dunno how big it is.
I've been collecting Sonic art for a <i>long</i> time now. My archive is actually pretty damn huge. One day I'll eventually put them all up after I get a domian registered, though the whole site won't just be Sonic art, heh.

One addendum to that request since its been a bitch to find.

Concerning Metal Sonic - I need as many pics of his current Heroes design and subsequent transformations as possible. If anyone can get screenshots since the art is so rare that would be appreciated. Thank you.

Update: the Sonic The Human TGS pic hath been sent to Dubs courtesy of me.

Np, I can get plenty of screenshots if that's what you're looking for.

Post by WB » Tue Jun 15, 2004 6:25 pm

Screenshots will work just fine. :) I'm surprised theres like...no official art of Metal Sonic (CG or otherwise) anywhere. I need all the transformations also please.

Thank you SO MUCH.

We share because we care.

Lol, I've got sprites too. >_^

Yeah, I haven't seen any official art of the new Metal Sonic anywhere. Someone posted a couple of screenshots in the "Does Sonic Battle take place after Sonic Heroes?" thread, but that's the best thing we have so far.

Has anyone checked the Japanese Sonic Heroes strategy guide?

Good work, Gulliver.

I'm still interested in the guide if anyone's got it, though.

I swear, I saw a piece of Artwork in a Gaming Magazine that had an image of Sonic drawn by Uekewa, but that's the only place I've ever seen it. I thought it could possibly be artwork by KojiChao, but I checked her site, and it wasn't on there.

It was just Sonic standing there, full frontal image. His hands are out, and he has an apologetic look on his face. The article was about Sega, how they were going downhill, etc.

If anyone has it, or has seen it, I'd like to see it again, and I'm sure you guys would probably like it too.

That picture was actually drawn by Koji, the same person who does all the art for Sonic Cult. It is a pretty good replication of the Uekewa style, though!

It's odd that there is no offical art of the new Metal Sonic. I suppose it makes sense that there are no Uekewa drawings of him, since they used those CG stills for the Heroes stockart instead of his drawings, and since he apparently doesn't like drawing robots anyhow. But still, you'd think they'd have made some CG stills of him like they did for the rest of the cast.

And give away the suprise twist ending that was already alluded to in the intro? Surely you jest.

It was supposed to be a surprise?

Well, I didn't expect him to be the villain. I just sorta assumed he'd be the second-to-last-much-cooler-than-the-real-final-boss deal, like in Sonic CD. Of course, it became painfully obvious once I got to Egg Emperor and he hadn't shown up yet.

Speaking of Sonic artwork, during the [little] amount of spare time I have, I've been fiddling with some of the artwork that Big Smile had been throwing around, trying to make them look a bit nicer, and larger for internet use.

Holy crap. That's frigging awesome. Good work.

Great. An official pic of Tails tied up, with mysterious white liquid smeared on his face. Just what I needed to see.

j-man · Post by **j-man** » Sun Jun 20, 2004 4:15 pm

I think you're just seeing what you want to see there, Zeta.
