In Super Mario 64, the texture for the flowerbeds is actually taken from a very small cropped segment of a photo of a flower field from a Japanese texture library CD, with additional flowers drawn on top of it.
Due to the extremely small part of the source image that was used, making it very hard to identify, this was only discovered in 2025, 29 years after the game's release.

A closer look at the NiGHTS head in the Radical Highway track of ‘Sonic Racing CrossWorlds’. Unlike the original SA2 head, which would rotate and was mechanical, this one is a hologram.

Left: how the Lego Mario figure appears normally.
Right: the screens for Mario’s eyes, mouth and chest, which appear separate, are actually just partitions of the same screen. Here is what the screen looks like with the Lego Mario plastic casing removed.

UM EXCUSE ME THOS E ARE FUCKING PIXELS HOW
Seize the Day was a calendar program made by in 1994 by Buena Vista software. It features graphics that at the time, were revolutionary because of the way they handled color cycling. These images were static bitmaps, but by changing color values, they appear animated. What is also impressive about these images is that they had full day night cycles built in, rendered also through color cycling. A few years ago, a html5 version was made. A copy was uncovered online and there is a way to use the program through DOSbox. As well, one of the original programmers for the project, Iam Gilman, has thought of the idea of remaking it, open sourced, for modern machines.
thanks for writing a more elaborate explanation. i’ve seen these pictures be spread like wildfire without mention of the technology behind it.

High-resolution renders of the penguins from Super Mario 64 distributed to certain press outlets in 1996. Due to being available only to few publications, and the specific subject of the images, these ended up not being used in articles about the game and were lost until the original assets were recovered by the Video Game History Foundation.

Hair swap.
Here’s the clean art for the IDW Sonic the Hedgehog Collection Volume 1! You can see some stuff that’s covered by the logo design, as well as the more-mellow background color. Painting these fancy close-ups is one of my favorite jobs, I get lost in the textures.
The collections are going to be hard-bound volumes of the WHOLE series in 12-issue chunks, in the recommended reading order; that includes the main series, spinoffs, and the annuals! It’s probably the best, simplest long-term reading option. Check the IDW website for info, it should be out soon.
