The Shadow Mobile DECONSTRUCTED! A couple of you were complaining that we were too Shadow biased and we deliberately let Shadow win… We just wanna say he owned his win totally because (he was a rage driver, and) he chose all his vehicle parts strategically, thanks to the customisation function in CrossWorlds. @sonic_hedgehog @SEGA @StudioGiggex #SonicRacingCrossWorlds #sonic #animation #wip #b3d

It’s been a while… are you all having fun with Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds?

Releasing the animatic of the ending of “Moon Vokzal,” the part where cosmonaut Nikolai realizes his space mission is doomed, and his memories with Anya flash before his eyes. In a trance-like state, the two’s thoughts converge and they meet for one last time. The storyboards and animatic were drawn to incorporate art direction in the same pass, and hence the additional attention to lighting. “Moon Vokzal” (2024) Produced by Simage Animation Storyboard by Joe Kwun, Ruth Sik Animatic by Joe Kwun Script and lyrics by Ruth Sik Voiced and sung by Mariá Kosenkova Voiced by Edgar Abramian Music by Wai Wong Sound design by Dave Cheung
