I think I like making eye textures based off Sonic characters
Sonic's eye texture, an altered Super Shadow eye texture that I made first The other characters will have this same texture recolored, aside from Super Sonic and Shadow Super Shadow's eye texture, basically traced over from a Sonic X frame in Episode 38 Super Sonic's eye texture, recolored from Super Shadow's eye texture Alternate version of Super Sonic's eye texture changed to match a frame from Episode 52 (but not copy and pasted like Shadow's, this is still mostly based off of Super Shadow's eye texture)

Finally did it, just so I can display it here and not actually make it into a mod because I don't have the PC to do so! :D
(help)

Small res version with watermark because it helps me feel better about the thought of someone stealing this before I can actually do what I want with it

Perfect recreation of how I reacted when I saw that there was in fact more than one frame ruining it

With the first two attempts I really doubt it would've looked good, but again, it was really intimidating to move things into the last attempt's placement

Thankfully, I'm extremely jobless so I had plenty of time to do it

(Details in alt text)
The texture of Shadow's shoes in the base game, upscaled from 64x64 to 1024x1024 The preview I uploaded months ago of Shadow's shoe texture I made in the style of Yuji Uekawa's art. If you genuinely can't see the picture and rely on alt text to "see" it, then I can't do a good enough job emphasizing how bad this texture is compared to my latest attempt. I also deleted the original so this preview I uploaded before is all that's left of this version, and it's very low quality and crusty looking. Matches the Sonic Adventure 2 Battle box art somewhat better than previous attempt, but the air holes are still too big and spread out for the front and back to have enough space to look good on the model (not pictured here). Since I decided to make the thread on a whim and this specific texture is outdated, this is just the full resolution image at 1024x1024 without any watermark, I doubt anyone is gonna steal this My latest attempt, what I believe to be closest to Yuji Uekawa's art for Sonic Adventure 2's model

Comparing the art to the original texture, you'll see it's not 1 to 1

This was very intimidating after my first attempt
The soles of Shadow's air shoes from Sonic Adventure 2 Battle's box art The front of both of Shadow's shoes from the art of Sonic and Shadow with some Chao (this is specifically art of Shadow with everyone else removed) The front of Shadows right shoe (our left, his right) from the original Sonic Adventure 2 box art The texture of Shadow's shoes in the base game, upscaled from 64x64 to 1024x1024

A few of the textures I redid in the past few days

The rest of this thread is dedicated to Shadow's shoe textures because that *felt* like the final boss of texturing for this mod
Sonic Adventure 2 textures in the style of Yuji Uekawa's art, improved(?) since my previous attempts

What if I once again make textures for a mod I can't make, except instead of SA2, I do it for SA1
Textures for Sonic Adventure DX in the style of Yuji Uekawa's art in the Sonic Adventure/Shuffle era So far I've only done Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Super Sonic, and Metal Sonic

Am I insane or did they take CD art of Metal Sonic and put Uekawa rendering on him

Like way before he actually got art for Sonic Channel

No I didn't forget my watermark again

No I didn't forget to copy all the alt text before deleting
No I'm not writing all that again, sorry It's a bunch of soles for Sonic Tails, Knuckles, and Amy from Uekawa's art, SA1, SADX, SA2, Heroes, 06, and the movies, Sonic has alts with red soles and Super Sonic and Super Sonic with red soles, and Tails has blue alts, maybe I'll do Riders

Oh, YouTube has a feature where you can ask an AI about the video you're watching...

Ewwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwwww
Ask about this video (Experiment) Hello! Curious about what you're watching? I'm here to help. I won't always get things right, but the more feedback you give me, the more I can improve Not sure what to ask? Choose something: Summarize the video Recommend related content Who is Jimmy?

A YouTube video on my recommended feed titled "The DreamWorks Movie That Changed History..." (I don't know if the title is cut off because YouTube now does that on my phone). The thumbnail is Grug and Eep from the Croods in a white background with massive text that says "CUCK" in what I assume to be the font used for the movie's logo.

Here's a recreation of the crystal image from the item boxes in Sonic 06

Why? I dunno
A recreation of the crystal that appears on the item boxes in Sonic 2006. It is noticably simpler compared to the original.

Here is a better look at the textures I think have been improved/changed the most (aside from the jumpballs)

Reminder that the images I share are around 256x256 or 512x512 when the actual image I intend to use are 1024x1024

Left is new, right is old
Knuckles' shoe textures. His Legos have more detail and the gradient on the green part has been altered to better match a piece of art from around the release of SA2. Shadow's shoe textures. I don't know how to describe it very well, so I apologize in advance. The red has been redone, and it doesn't look much different, but I think it looks significantly better this way. The soles have been changed so the part around the exhaust that is visible when standing is red rather than orange, with a gradient that goes up to where the rest wouldn't be visible when standing still, to better match most of Shadow's art. The border around the squares around the exhausts (I told you I was bad at describing), has been made thicker to better match the SA2 Battle art of Shadow in the air where you can see the soles of his shoes. That art was the original reference for the old version of the texture and that is why it was noticeably more orange before.

Here's what I'm talking about

some of them have only been slightly tweaked, and some are almost entirely redone, but either way I'm very happy with these and can't wait to see them in game

(Changes in alt text)
SA2 textures in the style of Yuji Uekawa's art. The jumpball textures used to be mostly 2 solid colors with some gradients making a circle since there isn't any depictions of the jumpballs by Yuji Uekawa. The closest there is is Sonic advance, so I used those sprites to get an idea of how they would look. I did Sonic, Super Sonic, Shadow, Super Shadow, White Super Shadow, Amy, Tails, and Knuckles. Tails and Knuckles don't have Jumpballs in SA2, so they're more for SA1 if I ever learn how to model edit for that game. The super forms only have Jumpballs in a mod I think, and maybe Tails does, but I'm not too sure since I think those mods came out after my forced hiatus. I removed a gradient that went on Rouge's boots and instead added some wrinkles, and I intend on adding that to Amy's boots too. I redid the buckle shape for Sonic's shoes, redid the colors, and the same for his super textures. I slightly tweaked some of the interior of Tails' ear and the gradient on his Tails. I redid the colors and resized parts of Shadow's shoes and their super variations. I added some details on the top of Knuckles' Lego parts (it's actually armor plating but they look like Legos), added slightly more color to the green highlights, and rearranged a bit of the gradient placements. For all the Shadow textures with his inhibitor rings, I slightly tweaked the gradients.

Redid the mouths on these textures so that there's more space to move around the UV maps and have the proper color on the muzzle, plus recreations of the mouths from the Uekawa art

I just realized that the Super Sonic texture in the image is only used for the gloves and not the muzzle, oops
SA2 textures for Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Shadow, Rouge, and the super forms (plus a few alts) in the style of Uekawa's art, now updated with unique mouths for everyone

I feel like this small change is part of why Shrek looks a bit off for a lot of people, y'know aside from his face and the style and the everything else

Yes I'm a Sonic fan, how could you tell?
Shrek's vest, tied together with a small black string in Shrek 2 Shrek's vest in Shrek 5, no string on the vest (or holes for the string at all), but now his shirt has a small V shaped hole coming out of the neck hole (but the neck hole itself is not a V, this isn't a V neck), and there's a string in the shape of an X on the V shaped hole

More pins for the Twewy SA1 Mod for the other item box images, except the clock that only appears in the Nights pinball I think
Pin designs for the items, all of which are based off of existing pins, except the shield (original design (also the lamest one)), and the invincibility (the fusion pin ripped straight from the final boss of the first game). The Rings are based off of the material pins, like Tektite, Dark Matter, etc. the Shield is using graphics from the Crackle Pop Barrier pin, with a green fire graphic around a sphere vaguely resembling a green shield seen in SA1, 2, Advance, etc. The Thunder Shield uses a recreated Thunderbolt pin. The Speed Shoes pin is a recolored version of one of the pins that grant you the Velocity Attack (I can't identify which pin it is, maybe it was JP only). The bomb item is a recolored version of the Onmyo pin (which allows you to damage enemies by shouting into the microphone), it is now red and blue instead of orange and purple, and the text has been changed to Sonic The Hedgehog instead of Jupiter of the Monkey.

The Knuckles pin is based off of his design from thousands of years in the past in the Fleetway comic (aka Sonic the Comic) during the Sonic Adventure adaptation, and I feel like I could do something better for him

Thoughts? (It's for 1-up capsules and the bottom left life icon)
Knuckles thousands of years ago in the Fleetway/Sonic the Comic adaptation of Sonic Adventure. He has green paint in 2 long triangular shapes on his head, and white stripes on the first dread to his right, with a white/gray outfit and a wooden spear that has been partially cropped out.

My Sonic brainrot, my twewy brainrot, and my modding brainrot have all combined

At first this was just going to be a music mod, but I want to do more
Pins in the style of "The World Ends With You" with Sonic characters on them, specifically Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Gamma, Big, and Super Sonic intended for a Sonic Adventure 1 mod, these are for the life icons on the bottom left of the screen

Felt like making a title screen for the Uekawa mod I'm making, so I made this for fun

Far from perfect, but I really like how it came out
