I'm just not down with the rest of it.This zone is a great example of building on what made the level memorable while expanding upon its design. Plus it almost makes the rest of his body seem cuddly. And the furriness of it all as well as the dropping quills? Eh, it makes sense. Also claws that he probably cuts/files/chews off himself so they're more like fingernails. I am glad that he has proper paws with the pads on his palms instead of creepy human hands. The lack of gloves is odd, but again, this is most likely an origin story, so he doesnt have the gloves YET. Perhaps a more defined brow for that redo, thanks. EXPRESSIONS AND PERSONALITY! You know, that thing Sonic was known for aside from his speed? That face is not very expressive and it leaves the emotions behind the delivery of the lines feeling flat. If he was to be created today, his eyes might be separated) I also need something to really come out of Sonic with his face. Sort of an artist's idea of eye design in the old days. (Actually looking back, I think Sonic's eyes were connected on accident before but they stuck with the design. Also, I like how some people design Movie Sonic with a white tuft of fur between his eyes to make that classic illusion that his eyes are connected like the old days. If they gave him sharper canine teeth, that would be an improvement, because that would be more animalistic. Plus he needs to be a darker shade of blue.) The features all too human just kind of take away from what was meant to be more real. They apparently compromised at "Make him anthropomorphic and give him human facial features including human teeth." Yeah, the teeth and eyes are my issue, and some coloring issues as well (I get that hedgehogs usually have white bellies, but Sonic has always had a tan belly, since he doesnt walk on all fours. I feel like there were two butting heads at the studio trying to decide how realistic to make Sonic look. Elephant in the room, Sonic's overall design philosophy. That old fashioned nature? That's what makes him more timeless to me. He is so lost in the last decades and that's why I love him. They got his attitude DOWN and I love it! And! They remember something I'm so happy about! HE'S 90'S AS FUCK!!! Sonic listened to Gangsta's Paradise on a cassette tape! That song is from the 90's! They got it! Sonic is not a modern boi. When Sonic did that Fitbit joke? Looking at his wrist condescendingly? Sound familiar? Almost idle? Sonic 2 idle animation perhaps? All that's missing is him tapping his t- WAIT! Yep, that's another thing I think when I think Sonic. I also noticed something really cute they pulled off. Something tells me those Nikes ain't gonna last through the movie since they ain't frictionless. Also cool! The pike of shoes in Sonic's hideout was a neat touch. Also I hear one of the guys in the meeting voiced Grounder in Adventures of Sonic the Hedgehog. "Sonic Adventure 2, Hero Side Story: Farewell Sonic, Forever." Tell me that isnt the same guy! That's an amazing Easter Egg. Now imagine that voice saying something like. The Easter Eggs and nods! Listen to the voice of the Commander of the military again.
