Palette limitations. Way too many colors going on to get in, look decent, and not break Sonic 1 to high heaven. I think there's an attempt in the sheet somewhere, and I wasn't too fond of how it turned out. I actually mulled over designs for a while, and it was evident that white was the best base color.
The red parts were originally magenta, but once I started putting the sprites in the game, it caused too many color errors so I used red instead. Ended up looking a LOT better overall. Though I've seen some that prefer the magenta.
Also, Sonia was a little taller than Sonic at first, but I reverted it since I did some more comparisons, and they are roughly the same height.
As far as looking like Sonic in the face...actually it seems there is something I can do, if this screenshot is anything to go by.

I don't think I can do too much more to the head without looking like ass, or missing the point :/
