I'm here to redesign the sonic cast in response to the bland 3D models Sega has been using for the past 23 years. I hope to bring new life into these characters so they can actually emote and BE characters. I hope you enjoy!

  • these designs are really good, I think tails' eyes look kinda weird. overall though I hope these get 3d modelled soon

    Even tho I personally don't mind the current models and there's been official proof that they can look good imo, I still love your interpretations of them(barring some small nickpicks for some). I'm fine if they keep or update the models either way. All I would want is them to make the current models more animation friendly if they decide to keep them. Frontiers was a step in the right direction in that regard.

    These designs look so cool. Sonic is in drastic need for redesigns, so these fit the bill pretty well.
  • I think the exposed back on Amy's dress was to portray that she also enjoys fashion and shopping. In Sonic Shuffle, she once said "Forget about Sonic, look at my dress"

    These redesigns are fantastic, I love all of them! Happy to know someone else appreciates the SA1 Dreamcast model cuz that look is PEAK (personally).
  • i honestly like sonic being more lanky honestly, I can see why people woudn't like it, but i do, also i feel like making his arms smaller makes them crossing their arms look worse, since you would no loner see the arms just big blobs of hands, like when amy crossedher arms in heroes

    Ok, I have some thoughts regarding Knuckles. I think your design has the right idea, but I'd go about it a little differently. In regards to the arm thing, I think for the flexibility in animation and the consistency with the other characters I'd make his arms noodly. to get around the issue of them not looking sturdy enough, I'd make them get thicker towards the hands. (this is something I'd like to do with the rest of the cast, but for them it would be a very subtle effect, similar to the SA2 models, while with knuckles it's more exaggerated.) I also couldn't help but notice that his hand's look a lot smaller in your design. (I'm not sure if this was intentional). I would keep his hand's absurdly large because I feel like without that he doesn't pack the same (heh) punch. Lastly, If we're making his torso bigger I might want to make his quills slightly longer so we don't lose that flow they have with the rest of the design. Your design gives the impression that his head is a little far back and I think this might be a reason why.

    i love tails' eyes because it reminds me of the first version of him in my opinion the best version because he looks like a kid, hes orange, body is tiny and his limbs are short and thats what you did but his torso is bigger but that doesnt matter that much hes still a cute kid
  • I like that these designs are more subtle- while still showing some more personality in shape and depth.
  • @Tessodan
    For tails I'd suggest giving him those black lines on the wrist of his gloves to make them seem like work gloves! Basically the gloves he had in his classic design
  • These look amazing! I would absolutely love metal sonic in this type of style hell even Eggman would look great! Can’t wait to see more!
  • I really like your designs, especially Knuckles. But I like Tails' white fur being a little beigeish but just a tiny bit so it's still bright and almost white; also I do like orangeish Tails more than yellow Tails. I would like to see another video, with Shadow, Silver, Metal Sonic, and Blaze, but you can just do whoever you like.
  • @Mr.Wiggles445
    Love the darker colors you used for sonic and tails and the knuckles redesign is perfect imo hope you do a part 2 maybe do shadow,Rouge,Silver and blaze could be fun either way great video man!
  • I wish the official design Amy had her classic quills, the weird hair looking quills look pretty boring, especially for her silhouette, at least to me. These redesigns are fantastic tho, keep up the great work. I loved the vid
  • @shades50
    I'd love to see you redesign Team Dark, Team Chaotix, Silver, Blaze, Metal Sonic, The Deadly Six, Super Sonic, Super Shadow and Infinite(even though personally I love Infinite's design)
  • @realcloud9939
    Not super into art but found this video really interesting. Love your vibe you seem very chill would totally watch more videos on your sonic opinions or any other video game related stuff 👍
  • @cumradej
    You gotta make an animatic of those Twitter take overs in color! It would be so cool! I noticed a few of the details in the ones you did so far so it’s nice to hear the thought behind it. I especially like the adventure art style influence.
  • Tails with blue shoes would look kinda cool tho, you might wanna try it.
  • @gangsta_gator
    I love these redesigns. Especially how you took the originals and tweaked them to be better rather than a complete overhaul!
