Sonic 4 Genesis Edition

I like these.

 

They don't exactly capture the classic feel very well.

 

I second the use of Rathes. He could whip these out like a factory, and then I'd tell him to do it again if something isn't right. They also seem to be on model the most with the Sonic design. The Mod-gens are ok, but every other sprite has Sonic off model in some way. Sorry Shibs, yours is 'cute,' but the proportions are way off. Especially the eyes.

 

I prefer the new to the old =P.

 

I like yours better, but the problem is they don't match to Sonic 2s mappings. Not sure if Stephen would attempt to tackle editing those for a spring or not.

 

Yeah I did think that might be a problem. I'll have to see if I can get it thinner like yours but still retain the roundness.
I prefer your blue part though, might be worth having a go at combining the too.

 

You know Cylent Nite usually does good but those don't seem to good in my opinion... Seems a bit TOO modern, only short legs and arms, plus too deep of blue. Plus the other sprites are leagues better, especially Rathes.

 

My vote would be for a completely new project-exclusive Sonic sprite set that combines elements of the old sprites and the ones seen in Sonic 4 (For lack of a better example, imagine the walking animation in Trunk's sig applied to the older Sonic design).

Of course, problem being somebody'd have to make it.

 

I made a version of the using dithering:

 

These, definitely these!

 

Seconded.

 

Thirded.

If not these, then what about Project Retros old sprites?

 

They [Project: Sonic Retro old sprites] are Chimpo's aren't they? I think he's using them on his current project.

 

It's 10 actually, I tryied making them 8... They look less awesome than Spark's springs using 8 pixels.

 

I had a go at trying to mix the classic and modern Sonic walking from Trunks' profile thing.

 

I think thats the right size.

 

Could you not have just moved the red base down a pixel? Would have barely been noticeable.
