Sonic Warrior TJ

<forumuser name="Sonic Warrior TJ" /> Sonic Warrior TJ (A.K.A. Toot Toot Sonic Warrior) has been an active member of the Sonic scene, having stumbled upon Sonic CulT during a Sonic Heroes Google search in 2003. He was more of a lurker during the first two or three years, and eventually found a place within the artist and classic gamer sects of the fanbase.

SWTJ is currently a Senior at the Ringling College of Art & Design in Sarasota, FL, about to graduate with a Bachelor of Fine Arts Illustration degree. He hopes to find a way to work on Sonic games someday, yet realizes the chances are probably quite slim.

Contributions

SWTJ's first big "contribution" (if you will) was a quick illustration of a free for all between several Sonic CulT members in the vein of Super Smash Bros. Melee, complete with Sazpaimon's avatar hovering ominously in the background.

Since then SWTJ has provided bits of concept art for various community projects including Sonic 2 HD and Project: Sonic Retro. Originally, he had planned an animated Sonic 2 ending in the vein of Sonic CD's animated intro/outro. A simple "test"(if you will) is located here: [1]. However, it wasn't going well, and the project team decided a revised version of the original ending (with the black and white slides) would be best. For Project: Sonic Retro, SWTJ provided the first concepts for the game's circus level.

Other oddjobs include a commission for Chaos Hedgie, and the recently "released" Christmas Chaos Sonic holiday album, organized by member Shadix.

His most recent project is providing concept artwork for DM Ashura's fangame Sonic Gemini. The first piece of art done for the game was the design for "ER-2", an updated model of the original Egg-Robo.

He is currently working on level design and badnik concepts.
