I don't know if I'd be allowed to submit an edit of another user's rip, so I'm just gonna show it off here before I do so. I basically just gave it correct, more "Sonic-y" proportions.
By the way, the hands aren't separate from the cuffs. That's a texture that matches the background color.
Well edits themselves are fine, I mean we have a Custom/Edited section on the site. Its just that I'd rather it be more extensive than what you've posted here to be honest. I mean I understand you made the proportions look a bit more natural, but it really just doesn't seem like a big enough of a change for it to go up as its own thing in the Custom/Edited section.
The shoes are the only thing that really seem different to me. I have to agree with Shadowth in the fact that it's hard to see a difference and something that's going to be submitted there really should be something original in comparison.
If you've seen the original, you'd understand the HUGE difference. But still, I understand that proportion changes don't really cut it. *shrugs* oh well.
