Been a while since I posted lowpoly, here's what I'm working on :D #lowpoly #locomotive #3dart

Today's badnik is Snail Blaster! 8/10. A solid little guy with a good gimmick and a strong set of colors. I like how the shell is the brightest part, it makes this lad look toxic and dangerous, which is what you want for an enemy. A charming last bot for Sonic 3! #badnikreviews #sonicthehedgehog

Today's badnik is Flybot767! 8/10. A solid lil' birdie that zooms about. I really like the color combo, Orange and Green is always a good look especially with metallic shades! Also I like the derpy eyes. #badnikreviews #sonicthehedgehog

040

D.M.G. the Poly @dmgthepoly.bsky.social · 26/12/2024

Today's badnik is Corkey! 6/10. This is about as non-descript as it gets, I'm surprised it's even named to be frank. I mean as far as mechanical designs go it's well made, but I wouldn't have guessed it was a badnik were it not for the spritesheet. Fun name though! #badnikreviews #sonicthehedgehog

060

D.M.G. the Poly @dmgthepoly.bsky.social · 23/12/2024

Today's badnik is Ribot! 8/10. It looks like a cereal mascot who was forced to live a life of crimes and is upset about it, so it really has its own vibe. Aside from that, it has a very solid look to it thanks to its vibrant colors. I like it! #badnikreviews #sonicthehedgehog

040

D.M.G. the Poly @dmgthepoly.bsky.social · 22/12/2024

Today's badnik is Orbinaut! 8/10. Another Uni bro! Again! Like its sibling from Sonic 2, this one does better than Uni Uni and Unidasu by virtue of being coooler and CHROMED. A small change but it goes a long way; being boring really brings a design down I'd say. #badnikreviews #sonicthehedgehog

053

D.M.G. the Poly @dmgthepoly.bsky.social · 20/12/2024

Today's badnik is Penguinator! 10/10. A silly yet very detailed design for a penguin, I love the articulations of the wings and the holes in the chest. Probably one of the best badniks Sonic 3 has to offer, and a very fine addition to Ice Cap! #badnikreviews #sonicthehedgehog

091

D.M.G. the Poly @dmgthepoly.bsky.social · 19/12/2024

Today's badnik is Star Pointer! 9/10. Another Orbinaut! This one's playing it real fancy though, with ice orbs and greebles on its main body. I'll admit, I usually find that design tepid, but the extra pop of details really works for it, good job! #badnikreviews #sonicthehedgehog

041

D.M.G. the Poly @dmgthepoly.bsky.social · 18/12/2024

Today's badnik is Sparkles! 10/10. When it comes down to it, this is a very simple design, just a flying sparkplug with googly eyes. Yet, the very efficient usage of colors and details elevate are such that I'd say it's one of my favourites from Sonic 3 now! #badnikreviews #sonicthehedgehog

040

D.M.G. the Poly @dmgthepoly.bsky.social · 17/12/2024

Today's badnik is Batbot! 9/10. A sleeper hit, to be sure. Though simple, its design is remarkably intricate, which goes well with the paradox that it presents as a light-carrying bat. What an interesting bot to have in the amusement park, too! #badnikreviews #sonicthehedgehog

053

D.M.G. the Poly @dmgthepoly.bsky.social · 17/12/2024

Today's badnik is Clamer! 9/10. A simple design, but I like how its cannon emerges from its shell, it's a very good visual gag in my opinion. Yet another googly-eyed badnik, too! I wonder how many artists worked on this game's badniks? #badnikreviews #sonicthehedgehog

0122

D.M.G. the Poly @dmgthepoly.bsky.social · 15/12/2024

Today's badnik is Mantis! 7/10. It's a great design that is quite greebly for its size, but what takes its grade down is that I can't seem to remember it being dangerous at all in its zone? It feels like all it does is avoid you, so it's a bit of a letdown for me. #badnikreviews #sonicthehedgehog

031

D.M.G. the Poly @dmgthepoly.bsky.social · 14/12/2024

Today's badnik is Spiker! 10/10> Dare I say it's straight to the point? Puns aside, it makes for a very neat decoy, even moreso given that its spikes act as a spring. I think it would have been lessened as a bot if those were actual spikes. Very good lil' bot! #badnikreviews #sonicthehedgehog

050

D.M.G. the Poly @dmgthepoly.bsky.social · 14/12/2024

Tonight's badnik is Bubbles! 8/10. A bit of an understated design as it were, but still fun. I do wish it went harder with the pufferfish motif, but I like how the canister beneath its eyes looks like a muzzle. A design that could go harder, but still good! #badnikreviews #sonicthehedgehog

160

D.M.G. the Poly @dmgthepoly.bsky.social · 13/12/2024

Today's badnik is Jawzun! 9/10. For how one-note of a bot it is, this missile still manages to present a very fun, thematically appropriated design that flows very well within its zone. The vibrant colors do a lot for that, with a brilliantly shaded belly! Love it! #badnikreviews #sonicthehedgehog

061

D.M.G. the Poly @dmgthepoly.bsky.social · 11/12/2024

Today's badnik is Buggernaut! 8/10. Whisp wishes it was half as cool as these lads. They form a perfect combination of weird and robotic without just looking like a flashily colored fly, and I like them a lot for that! I also love that it brings its child to work! #badnikreviews #sonicthehedgehog

So I had quite a giggle earlier on thanks to @foone.bsky.social's Death Generator ^^ Thank you for creating this website, Foone :D

D.M.G. the Poly @dmgthepoly.bsky.social · 10/12/2024

Today's badnik is Blastoid! 10/10. At its core, it's a very simple enemy but it has just the right amount of character and greebles to really make it pop, which I'd say is even more impressive given how it's an exclusively aquatic bot. Real good stuff! #badnikreviews #sonicthehedgehog

D.M.G. the Poly @dmgthepoly.bsky.social · 08/12/2024

D.M.G. the Poly @dmgthepoly.bsky.social · 08/12/2024

Today's badnik is Mega Chopper! 9/10. As far as spritework goes, this fish is a wonderfully efficient design, one of the smallest badniks and yet so threatening and shiny! This game really does metal excellently! One of the best fish to be sure! #badnikreviews #sonicthehedgehog

060

D.M.G. the Poly @dmgthepoly.bsky.social · 07/12/2024

Today's badnik is Turbo Spiker! 10/10. Though I am endlessly annoyed by it, it's nonetheless a badnik I'm really fond off. Perhaps it's to do with the cheekiness coming from its eyes or its treads? I don't know for sure, but I think it's one of Sonic 3's best bots. #badnikreviews #sonicthehedgehog

0100

D.M.G. the Poly @dmgthepoly.bsky.social · 06/12/2024

Today's badnik is Pointdexter! 6/10. It's a very functional design that still manages to be fun, but it feels a little overtaken by its spiky function; were it not for the fish head, it wouldn't look like much more than a stage hazard. Still, it works well. #badnikreviews #sonicthehedgehog

090

D.M.G. the Poly @dmgthepoly.bsky.social · 05/12/2024

Today's Badnik is Bloominator! 10/10. Perhaps the first mainline plant badnik, and a very strong first at that. This is made even more interesting by the complete lack of green, replace by greyl and red instead. A series of subversive choices that I'm a big fan of! #badnikreviews #sonicthehedgehog

140

D.M.G. the Poly @dmgthepoly.bsky.social · 04/12/2024

Today's badnik is Caterkiller Jr.! 8/10. Caterkiller's child has taken to the skies! A very good departure from the usual caterpillar plans with laser bursts included! While I do think something is lost without a mouth, this kid has charm and isn't shy about it! #badnikreviews #sonicthehedgehog

0102

D.M.G. the Poly @dmgthepoly.bsky.social · 03/12/2024

Today's Badnik is Rhinobot! 10/10. As the first in a quite sizeable line, it hits all the right notes splendidly! It's very to the point while forgetting to be boring with its greebles and red accents. All in all, a very simple enemy elevated by its design! #badnikreviews #sonicthehedgehog

091

D.M.G. the Poly @dmgthepoly.bsky.social · 02/12/2024

Today's first Sonic 3's badnik is Monkey Dude! 9/10. It's really nice to see such an enemmy in bright yellow and blue, those aren't the colors you'd expect. The ball-based design lends it a good dynamism as well, compare to its S counterpart. I really like it! #badnikreviews #sonicthehedgehog

150

D.M.G. the Poly @dmgthepoly.bsky.social · 01/12/2024

Today's badnik is Bigbom! 10/10. It's simply the larger cousin of Sonic 1's bomb, and yet that's enough to propel it to one of my personal favourite. The red used alongside the extra details really pop and make it both charming and dangerous-looking! #badnikreviews #sonicthehedgehog

0110

D.M.G. the Poly @dmgthepoly.bsky.social · 30/11/2024

Today's badnik is Scarab! 8/10. It's not a bot that resonates with me, but it *is* good. My main problem is that it feels incomplete in its design, like it's only a head and front legs without a body. Having said that, it's competently designed, just not my jam. #badnikreviezs #sonicthehedgehog

081

D.M.G. the Poly @dmgthepoly.bsky.social · 28/11/2024

Today's badnik is Mecha-bu! 10/10. Another Tamabboh evolution done flawlessly, this bloke is mean, intense, and it won't let you forget it! It's chunky through and through, an excellent fit for the final level, and a great last hurrah for the Tamabboh line! #badnikreviews #sonicthehedgehog

0131

D.M.G. the Poly @dmgthepoly.bsky.social · 27/11/2024

Today's badnik is Hotaru! 8/10. Flasher's unsubtle brother, but it works really well! The color scheme is pleasant yet meaned up by the yellow shade used. I also enjoy that it looks a bit banged up, like it took a wrong turn and smacked into a wall. Good stuff! #badnikreviews #sonicthehedgehog

030

D.M.G. the Poly @dmgthepoly.bsky.social · 26/11/2024

Today's badnik is Kanabun! 10/10. It's an excellent design and proof that what Kabasira was trying can work. What really sells me on it are the wings as well as the orange head, it really makes for a striking design that's very catch and memorable! #badnikreviews #sonicthehedgehog

041

D.M.G. the Poly @dmgthepoly.bsky.social · 25/11/2024

Today's badnik is Dango! 5/10. Its gameplay implications do A LOT of the heavy lifting as far as grading it goes. The highlighter green used for its shell is shiny, yes, but it's also not a color that works well without any accent or counter to it. Sorry! #badnikreviews #sonicthehedgehog

250

D.M.G. the Poly @dmgthepoly.bsky.social · 24/11/2024

Today's badnik is Kabasira! 3/10. It's just too small to make an impression, even with the details it has, it just feels simplistic in a bad way I'd say. At the very least, it IS cute, but the fact that it only uses 2 colors really does it no favor. #badnikreviews #sonicthehedgehog

D.M.G. the Poly @dmgthepoly.bsky.social · 23/11/2024

Today's badnik is Poh-bee! 10/10 It looks like the child of Tonbo and Buzzbomber, two designs I am fond of. I love how mean it looks, despite its round shapes, the mouth and acid colors really sell the threat here. Probably one of the franchise's best flying bots! #badnikreviews #sonicthehedgehog

0101

D.M.G. the Poly @dmgthepoly.bsky.social · 22/11/2024

Today's badnik is Minomusi! 8/10. It's a simple and fun design, and a clever twist on the base of a bagworm. Sonic CD's reoccuring googly eyes really work well on this one, especially with the vivid color scheme! Also like that it looks a bit like a microphone. #badnikreviews #sonicthehedgehog

050

D.M.G. the Poly @dmgthepoly.bsky.social · 21/11/2024

Today's badnik is Semi! 8/10. It has a very interesting mechanical look to it, especially with the elytras, but what gets me is its bored eyes, it looks so sleepy and that really adds to its cuteness. That aside, it's always nice to see yellow shades mixed well! #badnikreviews #sonicthehedgehog

D.M.G. the Poly @dmgthepoly.bsky.social · 20/11/2024

Today's badnik is Bata-pyon! 3/10. Sticking a spring onto a croissant-shaped grasshopper does not work well, it seems! This one is hurt even more by the fact that Kumo-kumo exists and executes the same idea better. Not great! #badnikreviews #sonicthehedgehog

0110

D.M.G. the Poly @dmgthepoly.bsky.social · 19/11/2024

Today's badnik is Sasori! 10/10. It feels like an evolution of Tamabboh, and I love it for that. Keeping the streamlined design while adding a turret and making it pointier really works out! It really sells well the fact that things are getting serious. #badnikreviews #sonicthehedgehog

281

D.M.G. the Poly @dmgthepoly.bsky.social · 18/11/2024

Today's badnik is Kumo-kumo! 7/10. I really like the smooth body and head and simple color scheme, but unfortunately the legs complicate its design in a way that unbalances it. Having said that, it's moreso a problem as a still, in motion it is much more legible! #badnikreviews #sonicthehedgehog

090

D.M.G. the Poly @dmgthepoly.bsky.social · 17/11/2024

Today's badnik is Kemusi! 4/10. Another iteration on the Caterkiller body plan and I gotta be honest gang, this one doesn't work. The lack of greebles really hurts this design and makes it look naked, which is worsened by the blanket pink. Sorry! #badnikreviews #sonicthehedgehog
