Bottom: Soul
Top: Soulless
Bottom: Soul
Kayden Rodriguez
Adrian Martin
I actually think both are pretty soulful. Top is the perfect blend of modern and old sonic IMO.
Jayden White
Nigga that's the same guy, the only difference is his shade of blue, and a little extra lank.
Lucas Moore
Both have a decent amount of soul
Hunter Young
All Sonic is soulless. Literally created in a boardroom to compete with Nintendo.
Eli Wood
Smash Ultimate did it better imo.
Blake Murphy
The animation on that Sonic Racing short is alot stiffer and slow. You can clearly see the characters tweening instead of fully animated like in Mania Adventures.
David Perez
What got me was people eating that shit up. It's fine for what it is but it's nowhere near the animation that came out the Mania shorts.
Eli Clark
Actually Nendroid of all things did.
Alexander Cooper
It might not have been Mania tier, but it still looked nice.
It wasn't Johnny Test-esque Toon Boom shlock.
Lincoln Campbell
This.
Juan Perez
I like both so they both have soul
Cooper White
Am I the only one who thinks the Top one looks like Sonic X's Sonic?
Jose Thomas
modern sonic is utterly soulless.
>lanky to make him seem older to appeal to loss in popularity but now makes him a weird humanoid furry instead of a little animal
>added edge to make him more serious makes him an embarrassment
>speaking parts now means there are sonic scrips issues and voice actor problems where half the time he sounds fuck and says stupid shit
>loses cuteness
Isaac Wood
I would bottom for sonic
Fill me with your blue dick
your blue hedgehog dick
this is the best ring you'll ever collect, my blue friend
don't be gentle
Cooper Edwards
You wanna see REAL soullessness?
Justin Anderson
when will sega ditch modern and realize that classic is better
Jaxon Cruz
pretty sure that's the typical modern sonic look.
actually, that art looks similar to his Battle art.
Evan Wright
why does classic have tits on his back
Nicholas Wilson
Based and Sonicpilled.
It's been years since I've seen X but I think the way Tyson Hesse drew Modern Sonic for this harkens back to how that show drew him, always with 3 quills showing
Joseph Diaz
sonic looks like a sex pervert with the green eyes
Adrian Davis
How come nobody has ever pointed out that classic Sonic looks nothing like the actual classic sonic
Landon Green
perfect/10 would play to death
Gavin Cooper
I think that's just because of how Tyson draws him
Blake Moore
Round sonic works best because he's a Mikey Mouse derivative with 'tude, it's perfect balance. Athletically built sonic starts to look creepy.
Sebastian Young
I agree, but Modern Sonic isn't that athletic looking, he's just a taller version of Classic. Now in terms of the movie design, yeah, that looks uncanny
Chase Brown
>implying souls exist
fuck furries
Joshua Torres
come on dude have you seen movie sonic?
this is not the time to whine about adventure sonic's design.
Liam Lee
>classic sonic is still light blue in this day and age
Y
Gavin Morris
SEEGA
HIRE THIS MAN
Elijah Campbell
what is this guy's name again. the guy who farts and sends sonic flying. He also slaps his ass alot.
Bentley Brooks
>Sonic X style quills
Why
Adam Wright
If it had gloves and was given a different color, then I wouldn't mind it being its own character since the design is simple and cute, but bad as a Sonic redesign.
Gavin Moore
Modern Sonic is a disgusting design, a relic from the late 90s / early 2000s like the Goemon from Goemon (New Age).
Classic Sonic is a timeless design like Mario or Mickey.
Jacob Sanders
Modern Sonic it's literally a more detailed version of this so I don't really find him creepy at all, I think nu-classic it's really good (apart from the Generations/Forces model) but he looks a bit too short most of the time, Adventure 1 model had the perfect proportions i.m.o.
Leo Adams
underrated
Connor Bailey
in.my.opinion.
what? why would you write it like that?
Oliver Moore
What they did to make Sonic look trendy in promo art from adventure onwards reminds me of how in America sega forced that stupid mohawk Sonic design, I wish modern Sonic would have kept the soap shoes or something like that so the difference between original and modern was more obvious.
Isn't >imo still filtered?
Elijah Reed
Who is the artist for the top one? I love it, reminds me of Sonic Battle.
Like when the fuck is Sega going to realize Sonic has always looked a million times cooler drawn. He looks fine in 3D but when stylized like in the OP illustration, Sonic Battle art, or the "anime" Sonic CD Sonic that literally everyone loves it looks so much better
Wasn't Hollow Knight fully hand drawn, why cant they do a hand drawn sonic
Nathan Collins
Tyson Hesse, who I believe has done work on the comics, drew both. He's also been involved in the Mania intro and the YT series for it and TSR.
Ryder Sanchez
Everything looks better hand drawn.
Thomas Miller
Yeah I know about Tyson Hesse, he's been doing a lot of work for Sega lately which is cool.
Henry Diaz
true
Nathan Wilson
I agree, I hadn't heard of him before Mania was out but I love his style now
Jaxon Jackson
The vid is down so I dont have the screenshot but he made a super cringey comment where he backpedaled HARD on the whole thing
Parker Carter
Was the comment recent? I though he already had some decent progress on turning that video into a game, wouldn't make for good publicity.
Austin Price
Tyson's Sonic is Classic Sonic, but with elements of "Toei Sonic" I.E. the design used in the OVA and the Sonic CD anime cutscenes
Modern Sonic's design isn't the issue, but Sega's mishandling of him (along with everything else)
TSR's short would have been better if it had been 3D animated ala Night of the Werehog (though that might have been to expensive) rather than what they ended up going with.
Jeremiah Richardson
It might be i.m.h.o that is, imho
Aiden Jenkins
>TSR's short would have been better if it had been 3D animated a la Night of the Werehog
The game is most likely going to have a CG intro by the same studio that did that short, user, just like the All Stars games got.
And yeah, I know he based it on Toei Sonic, it's a good look
Oliver Martin
Its so unfair we would never get a Sonic game with modern 2D graphics like Rayman Legends and that classic Sonic CD intro vibes
Aaron Reed
>timeless design like Mario or Mickey.
Mario and Mickey designs evolved a ton through the years. Sonic too, but in a bad way.
Gavin Carter
Top made me think of sonic battle for a split-second.
Nathan Harris
literally peak sonic right here holy shit
Henry Sullivan
>tfw sega will never use this design
Alexander Morales
Literally the opposite. Although Hesse's Modern Sonic almost looks good since it's not stiff and lifeless like the typical official renders.
If the massive success of Mania and everything related to it, and the fact that Sega is pushing Classic really hard as of late is any indication? Soon. Modern's going to be put on the backburner once the next game is proven to be significantly inferior to Classic's next title. You heard it here first.
Isaiah Ross
Do you think Classic would look better or worse if he wore the soap shoes?
