sonic channel
The official Japanese-language website and online hub for the Sonic the Hedgehog series, managed by Sega of Japan. Launched on November 21, 2003, it serves as an all-in-one resource for Sonic news, artwork, and fan engagement, with content often shared exclusively in Japanese before being referenced elsewhere.
Sonic Channel regularly posts high-resolution illustrations and character art—sometimes featuring special events or anniversaries, as well as monthly calendar wallpapers that showcase unique poses or seasonal themes for Sonic and his friends. In addition to artwork, Sonic Channel has hosted short web comics featuring various members of the Sonic cast, often capturing lighthearted moments or side adventures.
Apply this tag to artwork that depicts characters wearing exclusive official alternate outfits, adopting distinct poses, or referencing specific themes/scenes that originated from the official Sonic Channel monthly artwork, comics, or other unique site features (and remain exclusive to it).
