Sonic meets Max the Rabbit!
Since one of Sonic’s concept art designs was announced as a skin for Superstars, I thought it would be fun to redraw an old piece! (The original drawing was made on an old Nintendo site called “Miiverse”)

Todays rip: 10/12/2023
Wham! Into Dreams
Season 5
Featured on: The Inevitable Holiday Album
Ripped by vvsvlogs (@vvsvlogs)
Ah, NiGHTS...its the one SEGA franchise that I feel like a lot of people have heard of, and a lot of people love from a distance, yet very few have actually played. And I don't blame them for it - unlike Sonic, Jet Set Radio, Crazy Taxi, Monkey Ball or what have you, the coolness inherent to NiGHTS is specifically related to its weirdness. It's a set of three games that are almost intentionally alienating and strange, games where you need to truly sit with them for a longer while before that emotional connection is made. Yet it happened HARD with me only a few years ago - I now own all three games in the series and listen to the soundtracks regularly. And as a huge fan, it was an absolute delight to uncover SiIva's small-but-excellent handful of rips for the games - among them, Wham! Into Dreams.
Despite sitting above 100 contributions to the channel, vvsvlogs is a name that doesn't ring enough of a bell for me...though, looking at some of the stuff already in my playlists, I think its about time I began bringing more attention to her work. The NiGHTS games, beyond their theming of dreams and surrealism, have always had a big focus on happiness and connections - and by extension, to the holiday spirit. Dreams Dreams from NiGHTS into Dreams and its rearranged versions of Journey of Dreams really do hone in on that angle, these emotional yet happy songs celebrating the joys of human connection - and its one that vvsvlogs takes advantage of and celebrates with Wham! Into Dreams. And yeah, upon first seeing the rip title from the album release, I initially thought it'd be as simple as that - a simple well-done mashup between two very emotionally similar songs. Yet vvsvlogs takes a step further, putting the rip closer to rips like Sunday Morning and Everyday Goodbyes (SiIvaGunner Band Cover). Because the emotions of Wham! Into Dreams are amplified a hundredfold by it being a full-on cover of the original Last Christmas' vocals.
vvsvlogs herself is credited for the vocals, and just off of this rip I'm amazed she hasn't done more singing work. The performance in Wham! Into Dreams is simply breathtaking, simultaneously reserved whilst emotional along the same beats as the original track - yet also helping to bridge the gap between it and Dreams Dreams. It really is what seals the deal for the rip, what makes it go from merely good to full-on incredible - and what led to it becoming a permanent fixture on my playlist as of last week. With just a small handful of rips that I've only just now connected the dots between as having the same ripper, vvsvlogs has quickly shot up as one of my favorite artists at SiIvaGunner. Us NiGHTS fans still remaining are few in number, yet I'm glad people like her are still out there, still spreading the good, heartfelt word about these incredible games.

THE TRUTH ABOUT SONIC'S EYES!!!! - Part 01: How to Draw and what are they??
I got a bone to pick today.
Today we shall discuss Sonic the Hedgehog
specifcally... his EYES
This has been on my mind for a while but reached a tipping point with THIS new Sonic Channel Art!!!
I should be happy. They finally drew Merlina. But no. I HATE This art!!!
And it's all because of one problem. SONIC'S EYES.
You may think it looks normal but NO!!! I've made a graph showcasing my point
See the issue? I'm sure you do
But some you may think, SONIC'S EYES AREN'T LIKE THAT!! IT'S JUST ONE WEIRDLY SHAPED EYE!! You may even think of it like this.
No hate towards the artist who made this. Infact, this is needed as it showcases an issue that has plagued so many Sonic artists for years. And has bled into official media since 1998 (1993 if you count a few scenes in satam that may or may not be unintentional, it's so weird and inconsistent that I can't really call it all that important.)
Let's start from the beginning. Sonic's inspiration. Rubberhose Cartoons
Here I will show you..
MICKEY MOUSE MODEL SHEETS!!!
Because good Felix the Cat art is hard to come by
Anylizing this is important when looking at
SONIC'S ORIGINAL ART!! by Naoto Oshima (the guy who created Sonic's design. Along with Amy, Charmy, Vector, and partly Mighty & Ray)
I will now show my analysis in his head construction
I hope you can already see how this is MILES better than that Channel Art
This is further shown in the Genesis Games!!
There's an image sometimes on Twitter and tumblr that also shows this
Here's some art I did on this a couple months back that I never posted
Part 2 will cover all the ways things went wrong (1998-Present)
This is btw not a diss or policing towards any fanartists. You can draw your fanart any way you please. My issue is with the official SEGA art and media
See ya' in Part 2!!
