Sonic the Hedgehog Classic

S1 and SCD didn't show the body.

[Iceman404]

Look at the Sonic 1, 2, and 3 sprites. Part of his body is visible. Thus, kinda balancing out the portrait.

[triptych]

so because it was done in most of the games hes automatically required to do it himself


great thought process there, skipper

[Iceman404]

All the other games made Sonic blue, so lets make him red!

Seriously, I'm just saying it'd look better that way, why do you think Sega did it after for 2 and 3 straight?

[Alpha Six]

But it looks fine as it is.

So who cares?

It's a small, unnecessary detail.

[triptych]

right, because the color of sonic is clearly the problem here

there's no problem with taking some artistic liberties when designing or revisiting something
in fact, that's the whole point of revisiting something
to approach it from a different artistic standpoint than you or the original artists did previously

there is absolutely no reason for him to add the body other than to get you to shut the fuck up about making it look more like the other few sonic games

[Asther]

I don't think this should be an issue.

[Alpha Six]

No further discussion about the competence (or lack thereof, etc) of other members. This isn't the topic for that.

[Baegal]

his face seems kinda squished. try widening it out

[Vipershark]

the only thing I see about the signpost is that sonic's hand appears to be a little too far to the right

in the other signposts, it's much closer to his head. at the range it's it, it looks like a bit of sonic's arm should be showing as well.

[Cobalt Blue]

as it is now, it gives me the impresion that the hand is more of a cursor over a window rather than sonic's hand.

seeing every singpost tells me the best one should be S2's one, since is the most balanced and dinamic in terms of anatomy vs space. the rest suffer from being a little too plain for their own sake.

[Rökkan]

His mouth should be long enough to reach his left eye, otherwise it means he has one gigantic forhead. (Look at all the others did it)

I don't understand any of what you said here :I

Anyway, since it does look like a head with a cursor (and it looks kind of weird and without depth that way) I did an arm and a body, and brought the hand closer. I agree that it's a little detail but I guess it looks better like that.

[Iceman404]

Yeah its pretty hard to explain the mouth thing, but who cares?

Anyways, it looks even better now with the body showing!

[S-Cpu]

His mouth should be long enough to reach his left eye, otherwise it means he has one gigantic forhead. (Look at all the others did it)

I think he's trying to say that the right corner of Sonic's mouth should go past his left eye (from our point of view).
That hand looks like something from Paper Mario... Nonetheless, Awesome job!

[Iceman404]

Yeah, that's what I'm trying to say!
