I paid a little over the odds for this (apparently rare) double pack, but absolutely get the Japanese version if you can. It clearly states that it's one of the best 3D shooting games, presented for your pleasure.

Justice League!
Original lines by the wonderful Ed McGuinness, colours by me!

This was a fun montage piece to work on.

Man Without Fear!
Daredevil, with BW art by Sergi Doménech, coloured by me, but with HEAVY inspiration on the colouring style of @kheme51.bsky.social
Daredevil in his classic red outfit, swinging at night through the rooftops of Hell's Kitchen, New York. The scene has strong blue and orange lighting, with a pale white light on Daredevil's back.

I don't care how long it's been, I still get a kick from seeing the Soap shoes.
A Sonic figure, wearing the Soap shoes, standing in front of the Sonic Adventure 2 Birthday Pack.

Found a small shop in Stoke that had a ton of old Sega magazines. I swear I had half of these back in the day.
A magazine rack full of gaming magazines, mainly Dreamcast, from the late 90's, early 2000's.

I remember stumbling across STC-O 234, being amazed seeing Thalia's art. It all felt so official, and I wanted to be part of it thanks to her. Years later, I got the chance to colour her art, and I'm so grateful for the opportunity.
An STC-O story, with Sonic and Shadow returning in time to the Emerald Hill Zone. Art by Thalia Evans. Story featuring Knuckles and Super Sonic. Incredible B&W art by Thalia Evans, with colours by Pete Murphy. Sonic story called Unleashed. B&W art by Thalia Evans, colours by Pete Murphy.

Set myself the project of inking and colouring the unreleased Sonic the Hedgehog 291. All art by @yardleyart.bsky.social, but I've done this solely for fun and practice. If anyone has the script, then I can add the speech and captions.
I'll upload more as I complete them.

Enjoy!
Sonic and Tails speeding through the Lava Reef Zone/ Hidden Palace Zone from Sonic and Knuckles. Tails is pointing out the Death Egg in the background. Sonic and Tails stop to inspect the ancient echidna mural depicting Eggman and Super Sonic fighting over the Master Emerald. Sonic and Tails turn to a voice in the last panel. Knuckles appears! Sonic and Knuckles start squaring off, with Knuckles deflecting Sonic's spin attack. Knuckles glides in the air, but is kicked by Sonic. Knuckles is keeping Sonic at bay in the battle.

What a fun way to spend the afternoon.

I was testing some watercolour-style digital painting a while back, and I'd love to get back to it.
Either way, have some Chao!
A Neutral, Hero and Dark Chao from the Sonic series. They're coloured digitally but with a watercolour brush.

More colouring of @yardleyart.bsky.social, this time with page 1 of the unreleased Archie's StH #291.
I own the original page for this and another one from this issue, and have inked and coloured a few other pages as well, which I'll post here.
A comic page showing Sonic and Tails running through the Hidden Palace Zone from Sonic and Knuckles, the Death Egg is seen in the far distance, with Tails pointing towards it. The page is drawn by Tracy Yardley, and is from the unreleased issue 291 of Archie's Sonic the Hedgehog comic series.

Taking advantage by purchasing NiGHTS before it's delisted from Steam in a few days. This is my third copy (one on Saturn, 360 and now this) and would massively encourage anyone interested in buying it now whilst you can!
NiGHTS Into Dreams on Steam, with some appropriate purple, pink and golden lighting which compliments the design of NiGHTS.
