Description Aaaah Sonic..  I'll always be a fan of the ORIGINALS (meaning the ones that were on the Sega Genesis/Megadrive).  I have to say I've always wanted to re-design him, and still try to hang on to the aesthetics that I admired so much about the originals.

Anyhow, this is a thing..   convinced me to post it.  ^_^

Drawn entirely in Toon Boom Harmony on a WACOM Cintiq Companion.

I'd have to agree. The originals were the only ones that were worth playing. Btw, AWESOME style. I'd like sonic a lot more if the design was like this.

"The originals were the only ones worth playing."

If what you said here is true, then Sonic would've been dead a long time ago.

Not until he chokes on his blood, sweat and rings.

The one major thing that annoys me in their designs is the uni-eyes. :I

Yeah me too.  That's always bugged me since day-1, and it was one of the first things I changed when I drew him here.  That and those goofy Buggs Bunny gloves.  There's still a few things I'd change in this one.  I'm not 100% sold on it..  I might try again later..  I'm busy toodling with a Tails re-design at the moment..  ^_~

To be completely honest, I've never in my life played a Sonic game (or been a fan of the series but that's obvious after that statement). But I agree with your opinion on the gloves and something on his shoes bother me too but I can't put a finger on it... maybe the soggy socks or the metal thingie on it...

No downloading..  Can play these directly through the flash plugin in your web browser.  No excuses..  ^_~

Thanks so much.  I might refine this one a bit more at a later date..  Maybe after I finish a Tails re-design.  ^_~

Already a better design. No monoeye, for example.

Thanks..  I've always disliked the mono-eye concept.  When most of the other characters in the world have 2 eyes, the entire concept of sticking with the melded eyes is silly.

Oh, wow! He has two separate eyes!

He looks better this way (some people draw it like if it was a visor he was wearing).

Yeah.  It's a much better distribution of the colour isn't it.

It is.  It certainly doesn't give "sensory overload" as it does to a certain Virginian I've heard of.
