Pretty sure it's just an edit of this:
Comparing the two: nope. It's similar, but there are differences. I imagine that the artist probably used that art as a reference though.

Hell, I'll take anything at this point as long as it's not Sonic Boom 2: Even Boomier, Sonic 06 Redux, or Shadow The Edgehog: It Doesn't Even Matter Edition.
With the recent news of the Sega Megadrive Collections on Steam being updated to allow ROM hacks in Steam Workshop, it got me thinking of what I'd want to do as a ROM hack on an old Sega or Sonic game, different from everything else.
What I'd think I'd like to do as a fun extra thing would be to completely re-do Dr. Robotnik's Mean Bean Machine to be actually SegaSonic focused rather than AoStH - and do it in a way that they could have done it back then.
Things like having Robotnik being the game version, Enemies based on Robot designs from Sonic 1 & 2 (possibly CD), with maybe Tails & Amy being "enemies" who are there to "help" you beat later bosses. Fighting Motobug, Crabmeat etc up till you fight Mecha Sonic and Eggman.
Maybe not even having the "bean" thing altogether and switching out sprites of them for something else. Garbage beans being spikes, beans being.. something else? Emeralds? Rings? TV Boxes? What would work best there?
Looking around a tiny bit though, looks like Puyo's not entirely the easiest thing to switch out graphics for. I've been out of the hacking scene for a million years too. If anyone's keen I'd be up for it

If they could somehow do Sonic 3 Complete on Steam...*heavy breathing*

The only thing weirder than North American Sonic art is European Sonic art

The official render for the cover art of Sonic 3D in Europe.
Every single version had that adorn the box.
Also, Sonic the Comic then decided that's canonically how Sonic looks from the front. Which was ugly.

It's truly memorable box art, had no idea the rest of the world missed out on overly spiky Sonic head.

Frank Cifaldi just posted direct assets for Sonic Adventure that he's found in old EGM ZIP Disks.
Some of these were only known as shitty scans before.

Ahh, good ol' Knuckles uppercut.
(I know people found it in the Auto-Demo, or something like that. Still fun to spot it.)
Might as well post this here: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6hdshRSucuU

So, uh, apparently Sonic is coming to Lego Dimensions or something.
Over/under on it being Boom Sonic?

Didn't think about the boom thing? Hmmm. Dunno, when does that game come out? If it comes when that new season is going down maybe? I dunno
whats the over/under on the delay of fire and ice improving the actual game? Any predictions , anyone care?
I feel like Lego is big enough to get the real license.

I also think that Sega isn't dumb enough to deny them.
You are making some high risk bets! Some high stakes bets going on here!

I think it will in some way incorporate Sonic Boom. I don't know if it'll necessarily be exclusively Sonic Boom, but I think it'll be in there some way.
The "style" of Lego Dimensions very much lines up with Sonic Boom. It is 95% movie and TV licenses. You play through the Lego version of the first Back to the Future movie, an episode of The Simpsons, etc.
There are game crossovers in Lego Dimensions, with like, Portal and Midway Arcade Classics, but I feel like Sonic Boom would be an easier, more natural fit for that format.

I just thought of something: if NX was never planned to be at E3 this year, and the anniversary game has NX as primary platform (sales history implies Sonic will still release on Nintendo platforms for now), the july reveal date may give a hint as to when NX stuff will start coming out of the shadows.
Speaking of, have we seen much of Fire & Ice since they announced the big delay?

A pitch by Vision Scape Interactive, Sonic Extreme, a skateboarding game. I'd completely forgotten about this, but something popped up about it a few years ago, didn't it? Neat to see it crystal clear, but obviously not a lot to it.

Yeah, that made the rounds back when it was first found on a dev kit.

Neat. But wow, if someone told you "I have here a pitch from the people who did the Sonic Heroes cutscenes", I would probably run away from that as fast as possible. It had a few good moments, but that CG was probably some of the worst in the series, for main titles at least. (Sonic Blast GG/3D Flickies Island cover not included.)

Yeah, somebody bumped the thread on Sonic Retro recently. I guess the devkit with Sonic Extreme on it changed hands in the last month. The guy who has it now (the PtoPOnline owner, Borman) said if the stars align and it seems safe to do so, he'll release the files publicly.

That lovely classic mode option, such a blessing.
But yeah I kept the story on for the first run through and....well it's certainly a thing that's there.
Tizoc

Characters and story didn't bother me much, I've tolerated much worse
But Brevon's a pretty cool villain.
Shadow Hog

I actually really like the characters!
It's the plot I thought needed work.

No, I mean things like the poorly-timed dialog, having more plot up front and much less plot later on, and (of course!) the infamous
scene.

Hello everyone
Despite making the Sonic Retrospective, I want to do more for the anniversary, so will be making more Retrospectives for the series!
I will start with a series covering various fan games, with the following being planed now:
-Sonic Before the Sequel
-Sonic After the Sequel
-Sonic Chrono Adventure
Will also be commenting on other parts of the Sonic series and a number of other Fan Games going forward as well. Will announce the rest of the line up early in June.
Also considering making a video series on Sonic, but never did something like that before. Will think about that before commenting further on the idea.
I also have another surprise as well but will talk about that when the time comes.
Lets have a great birthday for the Blue Blur and roll around for the 25th Anniversary!

Eh. I really like the characters, especially the main duo (Lilac/Carol).
Then again I never had problems with Sonic's "shitty friends" either, I just hate how SEGA keeps creating more friends instead of developing old ones. :T

Likely have plans to appease both sides of the fan base this year.
Original Classic Sonic game or Classic Series Collection on modern systems + Big Modern-styled anniversary project for later in the year/early 2017.
I would love another Generations, but don't expect that to happen.

how about just pleasing any side of the fanbase first
That as well XD!
SOMETHING happening for Sonic this year would be amazing honestly.
