Would be so cool to see a Retro Engine port of all three games, with Mania-styled graphics allowing them to be played back-to-back of each other! With an option to select each game like in Mario All-Stars, using these box arts! Edit: I know the mobile ports exist, and I know Origins exists (this was posted after the reveal). My idea was of a way to unify all three games, if it was just to play widescreen ports I wouldn't have mentioned it here.

[@gamingnubs7628]

Well someone could probably mod Sonic Origins when it releases. Imagine what the community could do if Origins releases on Steam, ooh the mods.

[@DarkLink1996.]

Kind of like Sonic Delta 40MB, but Maniafied?

Damn, the inner child in me is jumping up and down and saying "THANK YOU" because while I loved the games, the boxarts (and other Westernized conversions) used to always really bug me with how different the characters looked from their in-game artwork (American Sonic's Mohawk, Tails having eyebrows, Robotnik going with his Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog look, or an eyeless demon the next). Of course, access to the internet years later shed light on why that was (and what Japan got....including COLOR manuals WHAT?!), but just loved how you added that much-needed consistency at long last, and in pixels no less! Haha! And with that, subbed!

_every morning that i wake up, i worship and hail to the pixel artists all around the world._ but seriously, this is so cool, the shading always gets me! to make such clear and awesome images with strictly some pixels on a grid takes skill and patience (trusting the process and such) - you make it look easy, gj man

[@Tulf42]

These Mania styled covers really prove that the box art could be used as title screens, since the title screens in the Sega genesis era were possibly where the most detailed in-game artwork of an entire game would be.

[@SethSpinz]

So cute. I love them. Nice work. The work on Eggman on the Sonic 2 was notably fantastic, making it more accurate to the Eggman we know.

[@Solesteam]

I see you got rid of Eggmans bushy beard that he never had in the Sonic 2 one, never understood why they added that there...

[@michaeldunlap1032]

Technically, even the American design (the one in the box art) didn't have a beard either. I honestly am sure it's actually meant to just be his jaw but the way artist shade it made it look like a beard instead for some reason. Edit: just figured out that early artwork of american eggman post-sonic 1 and pre-spinball apparently gave him a red jaw, and that is why he has red shading there. So no, it was never a beard, his jaw was just red.

[@Hynotama]

I will be honest with you. While I love your work as a whole, I can't stand those shadows on top of Sonic's spines. It's so unnatural, given that it's the place where sunlight would bounce off. Especially when you highlight the top of his eyebrows, eye pupils and muzzle, which reinforces the idea of light coming straight from above. The shadow under his head further reinforces the idea of light coming straight from above.

[@LapperDev]

I actually really like it, and it kinda matches how I drew my own sprites, but I totally get that criticism of it
