Sonic The Hedgehog

[image] So, the 35th anniversary version of the "Welcome to the World of Sonic" book was changed from the 2021 version to completely remove all of Amy's feelings for Sonic 😶.

[image] I honestly wish that Honey's purple eyelids became part of her actual design instead of them just being colored the same color has her fur, she looks prettier and they look much better to begin with in my opinion.

[image] I'd never thought someone would find the entire video, but it happened!! It's so cool seeing the Beta Sonic Adventure 1 model for Sonic in action alongside an early model for Tails too!

[image] As much as I love SA1's visuals, I honestly agree with this. It's really a shame they decided to throw out the colorful landscapes for most Sonic games (Until Heroes) in favor of more realistic ones to showcase the capabilities of the DC. it's apparent since the first level.

[image] Really nitpicky but I really miss when the coloring of Sonic's vehicles were based off of the coloring of his boots (Red, white and yellow/gold). It was a cool gimmick he had which was a lot more unique and interesting than having his vehicles colored off of his entire palette.

[image] I love how Sonic's original design's cute and endearing appearance really help facilitate that he has a heart of gold, it also makes moments where he is especially cool stand out more as well. Which his modern design sadly removes this nuance to emphasize on his visual coolness.

[image] The fact that the 1UP monitor icon seen in modern games has better eye dominance and better shaped ears than the actual main Sonic model of all things is hilarious to me like, just look at this LMAO.

[image] I find it interesting how Sonic Team left Sonic and Amy's relationship in Sonic CD mostly left up to the players interpretation depending on if you wanted to actually interact with her or not.

[image] Took me quite a while to find where those manga panels came from, but they actually are from the "Sega Game Gag 1 page comics"! The artwork is really adorable and there's multiple pages for Sonic! Here's some of my favorite panels from the first Sonic section.

[video] I love whenever Sonic media exaggeratedly stretch out Sonic's quills to put further visual emphasis on how fast he's going on top of making him look cooler. (He's not really going fast in the gif here but you get the picture lol.)

[image] One thing I've always found odd is how most 90s Classic Sonic games never really showed Sonic's golden boot buckles. Even as far back as Sonic 1, multiple sonic statues done by Taku Makino were created as reference for the animators and his gold buckles WERE there.

[image] I've noticed that the pilot and his family from Sonic's backstory all share similarities to Sonic, Amy and Tails. The pilot has that constant “frowny” face Sonic has aswell as spiky hairs, his wife has similar bangs to Amy and for their daughter, just look at her twintails lol.

[image] My favorite genre of Tails artwork probably has to be the ones where he sits adorably on the floor, lol. Genuinely wish we got to see more of him being an adorable kid nowadays.

[image] Did you know that Archie Honey's design is based on old fanart from 2007, which included emulation errors from Sonic the Fighters? Now you do. #SonictheHedgehog #HoneytheCat

[image] Pretty small detail, but it would be pretty cool to see Knuckles dislike of sunshine in newer Sonic media. It's pretty unimportant and all but I think it's a pretty cool and unique detail from the others, which is the reason why he wore shades in media like the OVA at the time.

[image] "Sonic should slow down for a gf / group" "Amy should move on from loving Sonic" "Knuckles should move on from the M.E." "Shadow should move on from Maria's wish" Isn't it easier to just say you don't like the character? Removing core traits after 30 years is not "development".

[image] This dude Sonic's first thing he assumes when Metal attacks him is that Metal is flirting with him. The #metonic agenda is strong.

[image] Their Shogaku Gonensei proportions are a bit better than their concept artwork proportions in my opinion, especially Mighty since he has more meat on his bones. (Unrelated to the post, but Mighty is meant to have a tan colored tail by the way.)

[image] Sonic just having shades that perfectly fit his mono-eyes is really funny to me, lmao. It would be pretty cool to see them appear more in my opinion lol.

[video] I find it genuinely adorable how Sonic puts Amy back on her feets before she could fall on the ground during the ending of Sonic CD.

[image] I feel like this Sonic plushie from the 90s has got to be one of the best Sonic plushies of all time in my opinion. He's round, he even has his little pointy fingers and he's overall just so cute. (It was so good even Micheal Jackson got it!)

[video] I had so much fun making this animation 👀 #ChaotixCasefiles

[text] I think you all need to be a good amount kinder. I’m seeing post after post wishing that my colleagues and I lose our jobs because… Amy isn’t Sonic’s stalker anymore? Please remember that these are real people you’re talking about. We regularly work over 13 hour days to make -

[image] I also felt like adding onto this, but Sonic isn't just for Japan or the US, he is for the world as said by Sonic Team.

[image] Reminder that IDW is owned by Zionist Davidi Jonas and his father, Howard Jonas. Both donate the money they get from IDW Sonic directly to Trump and Israel.

[video] HOLY SHIT THEY HAVE JP VOICES NOW

[image] I can kinda see the resemblance and why you'd think that to be honest. Honey and Rouge do share some similarities design wise. Like, they both have wings, a heart on their chest that's part of their outfit, they both wear heels and have eye shadow. (Unfinished attack but eh.)

[image] While looking at scans for Japanese Sega magazine during the 90s, I found these 2 very obscure pieces of Joypolis artwork featuring Sonic that I haven't seen anywhere else. They look REALLY cool and I hope we get to find higher quality versions of them!

[image] I've rewatched the Sonic OVA last night and man, the casts interactions with one another were so fun. It really made me wish we had gotten more dialogue in the classic games directly in game rather than it being mostly told in the manuals.
