    This is one of my favorites on this thread. I'd like to see more action shots as well, since the one you provided was pretty damn cool.

    If I can give advice, wither shorten the legs or lengthen the arms, please.

    If I were to make a suggestion, try filling out his bottom set of head quills a bit.

    On my butt in front of the computer. Where else?
    I'm working on working up the willpower to work on learning how to make my own Sonic fangames. Not quite there yet.
    Eh... no offense, but with those proportions it looks like the sort of design '06 would've used if they'd still be using Sonic's retro design at the time.

    Seeing this I got a flash of how cool it would be if S3&K had a cartoon of vignettes like Sonic CD did.

    It's an awesome pic, too.

    Theres just a hole load of me sucking at proportions there, head/shoes needs to go a tad bigger, legs a snooch shorter, arms a tad longer, quils need abit more work also :/

    Hardest thing is getting his ears to F'in line up correctally between the front and side profiles

    Here's my final revision of Sonic. I'll start doing the rest on another topic so I stop flooding this one.

    Dark blue, slight green tint on the eyes. Attempt at American-comic style of shading, failed completely. Oh well.
     
  9. Here's how I would make sonic look:

    [​IMG]
    (kinda messed up on the leg perspective, but you get the picture)
    [​IMG]

    I never got to color them, but of course he would have green shading around the eyes, and be a little dark blue to look like he aged a little
    I don't know why the images are coming up so huge. Oh well.

    Doing absolutely nothing
    You're aiming for the Sonic CD/OVA design? I approve, that has always been my favorite design of Sonic, and I can see you implemented the same liberties as well. Looks solid, the 2nd pic is my favorite. That says "Sonic" to me the most.
     
  11. Thank you :)

    Yeah, I actually was going for that Sonic CD approach. It's also my most favorite design for Sonic, too. Imo, it captured the best of Sonic's attitude/style and cuteness =D

    Here's another one I also did a while back:

    [​IMG]
    (running animation I was doing for my friend's fan game, but it never came to be :()

    [​IMG]
    (also was part of the fan game, not finished at all and were just rough sketches)

    Edit: Also I don't want to stack this whole thread with all my drawings, this is only my third post lol. So maybe I'll just add some more another time.

    I'm glad you didn't give Sonic those super long legs he has in the OVA. :v:
     
  13. @ Sparks: Yeah, Sonic never really looks too good with lanky body parts for some reason. Even when drawing him with long legs, I feel ridiculous for him. The only exception to me is Sonic OVA's/Unleashed legs. The OVA used to be weird to me at first, but they've grown on me. I think Sonic Unleashed's legs should be as tall as it gets.

    @ Sancho and Hew Jaymes: Really amazing Sonic pictures. You two happen to be my favorite artist so far in here. There's lots of talent in this site I swear :)

    One thing that's got me as I've been reading this thread is - what's up with all the attempts at just making the character overly cute? I mean, there's supposed to be kind of a harsh edge to him that contrasts with those aspects of his appearance - that's the point. Look at the Sonic CD or Sonic OVA animations - there's a perfect example.

    Now, if I were to get a chance to actually redesign the character, I'd just throw everyone for a loop and do something like this:

    Now we're talking. Just like this.

    Who's going to replace Knuckles on that box?

    Also, those are some seriously awesome pictures. I've never seen a classic Blaze before.

    Being cute and cool aren't exclusive concepts. The overly cuteness (and nothing else) should go to Tails, but the CD Sonic design was cute and cool both at the same time.
