The Overlooked Art of Sonic Boom

Perhaps you instantly scoffed the moment you read that title, “Sonic Boom? THAT pile of rubbish?” and while I certainly won’t disagree that Sonic Boom was beyond flawed, I would like to take a moment to appreciate the absolutely gorgeous art that went into it’s creation. You don’t have to like Sonic Boom as a game, by all accounts it’s a buggy broken mess and fails on most ‘game design aspects. But the art poured into it is so lovely, I find myself using it for inspiration than a lot of other art at the moment:

It is such a shame that Boom was so rushed and became bogged down by SEGA and difficult working conditions (AND a ridiculous console swap at the last minute which stuffed a huge beefy engine into the console equivalent of a slapchop) because when you see what was planned, the game could have really changed the face of Sonic for years to come. So while the game wasn’t great, do take a moment to appreciate the brilliant art direction, because it has a wealth of great design and stylized art:

*sighs* What could have been.

The environments are lovely but do check out the artists Artstation page as well, his name is Martin Ocejo and you can find it here, there’s a whole wealth of textures, props and even some enemy models, it’s well worth a look!

“Your right, being a hero isn’t about ego. It’s about… Elaborate gifts! It’s your visage in melon form. So, now can I follow you on your action-packed adventures…?”

“Slam, I have to say that because I don’t actually have a door…”
