In the late 2021 I was approached by fantastic guys from Unlisted TV studio to help them on the very stylized sequence for Sonic 2 movie. This was going to be a “Chaos Emeralds Backstory” and it needed to have a distinct look in terms of style and execution. My initial task was to prepare rough, color keyframes upon provided storyboards. Then I was tasked to come up with and establish the “carved in stone” look + design main characters for the whole sequence. This was quite a challenge since I usually work on more realistic artworks but I enjoyed it a lot! When we finally had 1 approved piece in that “carved in rock” style I was asked to take over and re-illustrate the full “backstory” which consisted of ~20 frames to be later animated by Unlisted studio. I reached out to my good friends Stefan Celic and Nils Drechsel to help me on that gig and we managaed to pull off all frames. Each one of them was production ready and layered, ready for an animation. It was a hell of a ride and an amazing project in the end. The result in the cinema looked fantastic! This also marks as the first official project we did under my own concept art studio. Milestone times!
