ソニック & ナックルズ Halloween Poster

Halloween Poster Detail

In the spirit of Halloween, here’s another poster from my retro Sonic series. This one features a slightly obscure character from Sonic and Knuckles – the Hyudoro. If you know your Sonic, you’ll recognize these ceratoid headed ghosts from the Sandopolis Zone, Act II. The poster features a slightly obfuscated flock of four Hyudoro in full-horned anger mode – their sprites were ripped directly from the game ROM. Below them is the Japanese Sonic and Knuckles title (Sonikku & Nakkuruzu) and some various excerpts from the Japanese game manual (which, no surprise, is much better looking than the US manual!) I used Japanese to give it that Japanese horror movie poster feel. The poster is 18x24in, laminated heavy matte.

My only advice: don’t let the lights go out! Or maybe you should…

Cut the lights to reveal the Hyudoro in all their glory. (Works best with a black-light, but it also glows in the dark.)
