Sonic section:
13 new+1 replacement, two pieces promoting the upcoming Sonic Rush Adventure (Handheld subsection), then one nice one from the good old times (Megadrive), one celebrating Mario's 20th anniversary (thanks to Virgile for that one, other subsection), a tiny artwork extracted from Sonic Riders Zero Gravity Flash website (Riders subsection) and something extracted from Sonic Channel brand new CG wallpapers (thanks to Trueblue for pointing out, this goes into the Sonic Channel subsection). Finally, the replacement is for that Sonic Adventure 2 pose that had wrong colors (thanks to that person who corrected this and sent me one with correct colors). Oh, I was to forget that new Line Art subsection! It features some nice rare artwork (six pieces) in line art form. Thanks go to SonicHHog for this nice gift he made me a few years back.

Tails section:
3 new, one ripped from Sonic Rivals 2 Flash site and another ripped from Zero Gravity one. Both tiny for the moment. And I almost forgot about the one I extracted from a brand new Sonic Channel wallpaper.

Knuckles section:
1 new, a tiny Knuckles CG extracted from Rivals 2 Flash website (Other subsection).

Miscellaneous section:
1 new, a nearly stamp-sized Silver CG extracted from Rivals 2 Flash website.

Shadow section:
1 new, a nearly stamp-sized Shadow CG extracted from Rivals 2 Flash website.

Babylon Rogues section:
1 new, a tiny Jet CG extracted from Zero Gravity Flash website.

Robots section:
1 new, probably the last drawn artwork featured on a Sonic Channel wallpaper that I extracted here.

Groups section:
1 new, something really nice featuring all characters from Sonic Rush Adventure. This was originally the well known group image with the blue background but the one I had the opportunity to get on Sega-Press was a PSD with separate layers for the character group and the background.

Logos section:
3 new+1 replacement, Sonic Riders Zero Gravity, Sonic Rivals 2 and Sonic Rush Adventure (in Japanese) respectively. But in tiny size only for the moment. The replacement goes for the Western Sonic Rush Adventure logo that I found in a decent EPS version.

Other info:
Yes, the Sonic Art Archive has come back after the incident the SGMC portal was victim in July (thank you, OrdosAlpha for giving me back my FTP account). This is for the good news. The bad news is perhaps the disappointing amount of new things despite the site not having been updated for four months. Well, this explains easily: laziness. I know I forgot to extract the Knuckles CG from the Sonic Channel wallpaper and some other things I still remain to do, but as you the song by heart now, they'll probably come later. :P
