None of that Adventure stuff.
1993 Calendar
Sonic Vs Giant Enemy Crab
Sonic on the Tornado
Apparently they got some more art which they will release whenever. So, have a look. The PS3 lie watch is always being updated as well.

Some of those are from those old 'Choose your own adventure' Sonic Books. They are kinda cool. Didn't they make 5 books or something?
Dammit, now i want to dig the two i have out...

Sonic swimming around doesn't seem right, somehow.
Good artwork though.

That can't be American artwork. It actually has Eggman in his correct design.

Costume-wise, yes. American video game art is different from the SATAM style. Eggman's eyes are just black holes. Besides, everything else is pretty obvious on why it's not Japanese.

The one of Sonic leaping over a black-and-yellow barrier is from the cover of Stay Sonic, an origin/game guide/misc info handbook. Factually inaccurate in an offkey, British-inside-jokes kind of way, but an entertaining read nonetheless.
OCB's right about the Adventure Gamebooks. The one reminiscent of Oil Ocean, with all the fire and girders and that, is the cover of Metal City Mayhem. The jungle-themed piece with the vines is from Sonic and the Zone Raiders. Everything else leaves me stumped, apart from the obvious Sonic 2 promo stuff.

Not to sound like a purist, but the art shown at UK Resistance sucks. Big time. Tails looked messed up and a lot of the situations are oddly drawn.
I think Michael Stearns (G Silver) and the girl who used to post here (Jessika Padmin or something) have produced clearly superior Sonic-related art. Check the art thread before page 30 or something.
Still, thanks for pointing this to us. It has nostalgic value for sure, but the art still sucks.

So is UK art from one of the dudes from the two Sonic yearbooks…in one of them we also had Sonic swimming too.

Sonic Beats The Badniks. I thank you.
