Here's a new video and possibly the first ever video where I do a speedrun demonstration on how I make my Sonic renders appear more like the Sonic Adventure artwork I've been frequently posting.

I've been getting comments, reactions and demands from a lot of folks who really wants to know more about how I make these 3D renders look so much like the Sonic Adventure artwork, it's hard to comprehend that it's 3D because they look very 2D drawn. I'm even unintentionally getting people convinced that it really is drawn, and even accusing me of using AI to generate the renders (Eww, no. This is a TRILLION times better than generative AI). XD Even though I do draw occasionally, this is indeed rendered using Blender, but I do however manually draw in the rim shading and draw to fix the outline errors in the raw render.

Here's a ten minute video showing a speedrun of making my latest Sonic Adventure render featuring my Sonic model doing his iconic 1991 gesture!
