Not bad, but two things. The spikes are too Super Sonic and not enough Shadow. They need to be larger and lower. Also you forgot the red around his eyes.

I like the shoes though.

I love it. There's a loss in details (the red around his eyes), but I think it fits more with the Sonic 1-2 sprites. If anything, add the red parts, but I don't think there's a need to change the spikes.
I can already imagine his running spike being a half circle... since Shadow skates and cutting Sonic's loop running in half would probably do a classic effect to it.
Too bad you don't plan on using this, it's really cute.

The way the spikes are is intentional. Shadow's spikes basically ARE Super Sonic spikes. Just look at Sonic Adventure 2! Shadow's spikes didn't really become his and his alone until they changed Super Sonic's spikes.

I did just forget the red around the eyes though . I've added it back in, and tweaked some other stuff. Thanks for your input!

I said he probably wouldn't be playable...didn't say I wasn't planning on using it

That is great to hear. Impatient looking Classic Sonic sprites are my weaknesses. XD
Yeah, Super Sonic and Shadow had really similar spikes in SA2. I think they changed it in Heroes?

Yes, you are right. It does seem to be the best size. Cheers.

Just providing some info, the Genesis/Mega Drive games use a resolution of 320x224. The reason why its 320x224 and not 320x240 is because of overscan, only 320x224 is visible, hence why there are black bars on top and bottom on the Gens emulator.

Also Taxman's Sonic CD remake uses 400x224 on widescreen, IIRC. So I personally recommend using 320x224, and having a widescreen option of 400x224.

Looks good Aerosol, though there IS a Sonic 2 Sprite of Shadow, but it was only used for the webcomic That's My Sonic WAY back in the early 2000's

Like the progress on the sprite so far though, but if your curious on that sprite I mentioned I think Themysticalforestzone.com has it, pretty sure they do, also if you never read it check out TMS on fireball20xl.com

I looked a few times, but I didn't see it. And I'm pretty sure that relic of ancient history that needs to be forgotten used Sonic 3 as a base for the sprite edit, not 2.

A few graphical touchups here. I added a solid black border around the HUD numbers to make them easier to read, but I don't know if it clashes with the art style too much. If it works well enough, though, then I could probably do the same to the other HUD elements.

Reminds me that I did some old Shadow sprites a Looooonnnnggggg time ago...xD

I like what I see here; it's like a fusion of Wacky Workbench and Carnival Night. The off color HUD also reminds me of S3K.

Looking good Streak, already said my thoughts on SFGHQ.



Be wary of what can help you, and what can kill you at SAGE 2012.

having fun here. 30fps and still adding in-betweens. I'll show a lot more in the near future (but Phantasy Star Online 2 is incredibly addictive right now)

Sonic Run 1 WIP Sorry for not adding the gif animation into this post. retro doesn't allow that extension on this board.

wish I could see them in a fan game when I am done

Looks highly similar to the pencil test animation from Sonic CD.

Also, where are his ears? Did Sonic turn into an echidna?
