These lil guys are the parrot variants for the Official Minecraft Sonic Texture Pack. Of course one had to be Flicky, but the rest are a few familiar faces from Sonic Adventure 2
Some of you might recognize my concept art and some renders of the models i made from Game Apologist's video on the subject. i dont think this has been seen outside of that video so for anyone who's wanted it here ya go. I called it Mecha Amalgam when i worked on it but people have taken to calling it Mechamalgam which is pretty cool imo.
if you can name all the mechas incorporated into his design you're officially a gamer
well damn, ya’ll really like my fucked up little guys. i don’t think i’ve had a post break 1k notes before. thanks for the kind words, and more fucked up little guys are in the works. the spider is already done but i wanna make the skeleton and the witch too before i post em
redesigned some minecraft mobs for funsies, we got a creeper, a zombie, and an enderman. went for a corrupted nature vibe
The Tails and Trails 1.20 update for the sonic texture pack is out now, can you address the elephant in the room? fans of a certain handheld sonic title might recognize him
oh, and a new chao form just dropped! i helped a little bit with the design process for it but overall its design and assets were created by my friend and coworker @crimzonkrow on twitter!
Ahh so EXCITED to finally be able to talk about this one!!
My cover for IDW Sonic 59 (releasing 3/29) 🦔
Can't thank David Mariotte and Riley Farmer enough for letting me take a shot at making a traditionally painted cover
I told the IDW team that I always wanted to do a mock Renaissance painting for a cover someday, and this issue inspired me to go for it. I took lots of inspiration from classic paintings, and also specifically from "The Fallen Angel" by Alexandre Cabanel for Shadow himself.
I did the thumbnails and pencils digitally (easier for notes) and then used a mini projector to project the image onto a canvas, and transfer the pencils before painting the rest of it with acrylics.
I took lots of videos of the actual painting process, so I'll have to put those together sometime soon.
i just wanted to say i love mechamalgam is peak and i love him. you and the concept artist made absolute peak
i am the concept artist :) I should post the concept art one of these days. I did the concept, model, and textures for my mechanical child. thanks so much for the kind words though, im really happy with how much people like him.
oh, and just in case you're thinking of the fancy rendered art that was in the gameapologist's video on mechamalgam; that was done by my friend and coworker @CrimzonKrow on twitter!
Eggman Devouring His Son
when i first started working on paintings for the Sonic Texture Pack, i did some sketches to get some ideas flowing. this was one of them. but i never finished it cause it was safe to assume it'd never be approved. that said i still find it very funny so i decided to finish it
of course! we had a blast working on this project, and im happy to answer any questions people have about the sonic texture pack (to the best of my ability, there’s stuff that i can’t necessarily talk about, and some stuff isn’t my area of expertise)
Hello 👋 I think I've figured out each of the characters that the beds in the new Sonic Minecraft texture pack are meant to represent but I can't put my finger on who the brown bed is meant to represent 😅
makes me super happy to see all the love people have for the details and references. the Tails doll painting is one of mine, but the Creation of the Ultimate Lifeform was done by my coworker and friend who goes by @CrimzonKrow on twitter, give her a follow if you’d like!
