I Make Art

Concept Art, 3D Modeling, and whatever I want. You might know my work from the Sonic Texture Pack for minecraft!

Now that Hytale is here, I'm reminiscing about these shark-inspired mob design ideas I sketched out five years ago.

An attempt to diversify our idea of sharks in games, moving beyond the old stereotypes of aggressive mobs without depth! 🦈✨

I remember these, still love them

Hi, asking another question about the sonic texture pack

Is it still being worked on? There's been a full year of new content added by Mojang and I've been waiting to see what the texture pack would do with stuff like the happy ghast or copper golem

I assume they intend to eventually, but sorry I'm no longer with the team making it and haven't been for about a year now. Unfortunately I have no idea about the state of any updates. My only regret is not being able to keep working on it, especially since I was the guy who knew the most about Sonic and his history, but it is what it is.

[i-am-3zekiel]

commissioned this kickass art from orfii13954 on twitter, pleasure to work with (and he's got commission slots open if you're interested) The idea is that he's a guy obsessed with knights, heroes, and adventure, who unfortunately lives in the modern day. He trains in HEMA, owns a sword, and even saved up enough to buy an entire custom made suit of armor. But there was a lack of dragons to slay and damsels to rescue, and thus not many opportunities to wear his beloved armor. Not that this stopped him of course. But when zombies began roaming the streets, suddenly his investment didn't seem like such a bad call.

Probably last question i-am-3zekiel (thank you so much for responding)

Whats the end supposed to be? Is it cyberspace? That feels like the obvi answer but i can't tell

Again thank you so much, you're amazing

no problem, love that folks are still loving the texture pack and yep, it's a cyberspace that's been taken over/co-opted by eggman! I like to think of it as a prototype that eggman is testing out as he experiments with ancient tech

Hello once more i-am-3zekiel

I was wondering if any other designs had concept art? Particularly that mecha creeper fella, or maybe the egg wvyern hybrid thing

here's a couple rough sketches I did for the ender dragon/Egg Hybrid, only ever did concept art for the big boss mobs so I don't have concept art for anything else instead as a bonus, have a never-before-seen proof of concept I made of the sonic texture pack before the art direction changed. It was originally going to be based on the sonic minecraft map we'd released, but that style didn't really work super well in a broader minecraft world, and we wanted something more cohesive

Hello i-am-3zekiel

I'm sorry to bother you at this moment but i was wondering if there was any concept art for the chaos warden, and, if so, you'd be okay with sharing it

no bother at all :) and yep as a matter a fact I do! it was just a few sketches to get the idea across, so the final design changed a lot as I modeled/textured it

[i-am-3zekiel]

this game called Hytale that never came out and got canceled and is maybe possibly probably getting saved altered the course of my life. Because of it I started block modeling, and now it's my career. I've worked on a bunch of minecraft projects, including official Sonic the Hedgehog stuff which is huge especially for me personally. I hope to play it one day.

[i-am-3zekiel]

been quiet cause i've been busy working on a few projects under NDA, but I got the greenlight to show some stuff. Been doing a lot of animation for work lately, and having a lot of fun with it :) this is an infected ravager from the parasite outbreak add-on that i animated. gettin better at this whole animation thing i think. expect to see this guy and a bunch of others in an update that'll come sooner or later

Hey folks! I know this is not the usual horror art content, but hear me out for a second!

Some friends and I have been helping Farah, a Palestinian girl who has been through some heartbreaking family tragedy, leave the country using a student visa. She now has a scholarship to continue her nursing studies in a French university, but we've reached a roadblock: the embassy is asking for 8400€ for her to be able to even leave the country.

So we are putting together a fundraiser to cover this and, if possible, some expenses so she can live in France and help her family! Please help us reach this goal if you have a little bit to spare!

Help Farah Abu Jarad Continue Her Brother's Goal

Hello kind donors,

Any little bit helps, and if you can't help right now, sharing this would be kindly appreciated! I know there are a lot of these fundraisers, and it's easy to become desensitized, but helping out here could really change a life! Thank you! <3

Amy Rose has also become cubic in nature, but she seems okay with it

Idk if you were working on the recent update for the texture pack but I wasn't expected to see cowbot from sonic boom to be there.

Anyway, I hope you have a wonderful day/evening.

Thank you! I can honestly say I'm doing great which is new for me, but I'm actually no longer with the studio that produces the Sonic Texture Pack. I'm at another studio now, so unfortunately it's unlikely I'll be involved in future updates. That said, I still love that project and I'm happy to have made my mark, and I love that so many people are still enjoying it :)

Question about the Minecraft texture pack : are the zombified villagers androids like shadow android or zombots ?

I sent this question because I was curious to know if this is one of the few IDW references that were allowed,

I mentioned androids in the question because shadow androids all have grey/metallic "skin" (for lack of better words) different eyes compared to zombots

Anyway, I hope you don't mind this question.

I hope you have a good day/afternoon/evening

all good! happy to answer :) So when we sent them to Sega for approval, we referenced the Sonic Heroes metal skins as their inspiration, which were the direct inspiration for Zombots. Basically since they were based on something from the games we could reference it in a way that wasn't an issue. Originally to skirt around the issue, they were modeled and textured with some other robotic elements, (wiring etc.) but it was unnecessary and we got to just have them be as they are now. Shoutout to another friend/coworker, the technical artist (he doesnt really use socials much or I would give a link) He made all the villager and villager related stuff, and made it so they could all be different species and whatnot.
