Christian's Favorite Hits! is the fateful CD which sparked the creation of the Internet's favorite Sonic recolor OC, Sonichu.
Volume 1
Tasked with creating a jewel-case insert for graphic design class at high school, Chris found himself once again fighting for artistic freedom of expression. The draconian rules of the assignment- that he avoid using copyrighted images, required Chris to get creative.
| “ | On the fateful day on March 17, 2000, I wanted to feature on my Favorite Hits CD Cover life-long hero, Sonic the Hedgehog, and cute newer character, Pikachu, but Copyrighted Characters were prohibited from the project.
So, in my mind, I pondered and pondered when it hit me visually; Sonic and Pikachu combined. |
” |
| Chris, being creative.[1] | ||
Chris claims to have gotten an A+ on the assignment.[2] The other characters on the cover are Christian's original Pokémon Espanolic, Koffingroo, Plautistic, Buggzap and Strongtire. Note, many of the other drawings on the cover are also uncreative combinations of Pokémon and other objects.
| “ | HE IS NOT JUST A POLYMERIZED pair of Game characters; He is his own Electric-Hedgehog Pokemon Self, and I have my own circled "C" on him, so there. | ” |
| Chris, clearing up any misunderstandings.[3] | ||
Unsurprisingly, the CD tracklist is a very liberal interpretation of what constitutes a hit.
Liner Notes
CD inlay. Note an early prototype of The Wall of Originals in the background.
| This CD contains many of my favorite songs from many CDs. The order of the songs are in order by the type of music/game in which it originated. In order, it goes as followed:
1st. Sonic music (I love that Hedgehog). 2nd. Pokemon music (I like the video games and the TCG game) 3rd. Mario music (I like the MarioKart64 and Star Fox 64 games). And 4th. Classic Jazz (I enjoy a cool, jazzy beat). And the order repeats till the 21st song; it finishes with two Sonic songs. All in all, all the songs are many of my favorite hits! |
