Redesigning The Sonic Cast - DanSpex
Вставка
- Опубліковано 4 бер 2023
- 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 look so cool. Sonic is in drastic need for redesigns, so these fit the bill pretty well.
Thank you! Glad you like them
@@danspex.
Sonic:-"the chest is too buff-looks like he switched body type with knuckles,arms and legs need to be thicker(like most others' honestly but whatever for now, why do his shoes and gloves Still, have So Mutch Room?),his eyes should be more horizontal like Sonic Prime(or the animation you showed, to look like two raindrops slightly fused),otherwise, not bad".
Tails:-"couldn't you make the yellow work-like a shade reminiscent of bananas?,if I've been you, would've gotten rid all of his tuffts for good,make his arms white,blue shoes,and gray rubber lab gloves(like Boom's) and white parts of his shoes gray too".
Knuckles:-"sharp_knuckles_are kind of his thing"-",how is he supposed to climb walls?-"that should've been kept,his spines/hair or whatever should be six,his white chest crest should be colored like his cheeks"-"both darker shade like in game colors,the tail should be straight like his in game sprite animations showed,the yellow streak on his shoes should be the whole knee til toes area_like in the games_and color it black and yellow instead(Sonic has white racing stripes on his shoes, This way, you'd make them more"opposite"plus o.v.a reference),more Round head shape,simular mouth design to Sonic but regular slightly pointy nose,back spikes like Sonic's in underground but turned upwards"?
Amy Rose:-"No tuffts(their just too mutch like Tails, remove them, but her's just from the head),"ring/bracelets(they look too mutch like shadow's),Red eyes(to compliment her pink fur),racing stripes/socks on her boots(that's sonic's thing)"-"purple dress,slitted spiky skirt(reminiscent of an opened up daisy flower from upwards face angle to prevent peaking😏😉),open back but simular back spikes to Knuckles'(As described above),can still have sleaves like Prime's, but have horizontal orange racing stripes run down from them til reaching the hips". Their the perfect mix between reinventing the wheel and staying faithful, I think. Maybe someday could give them a try?
@@danspex. Their indeed, interesting.

Now This is Constructive criticism.
@@Copter200. I try doing my Best.
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.
Yea I highly doubt they would change the models entirely but I feel like if they evolve the ones they have now and actually animate them properly that would be cool. I’m actually just now thinking about it but wreck it Ralph 2 is actually a good example it’s the best I’ve seen the modern design portrayed. Thanks for watching the video!
If more "Friendly" you mean more mature and well thought it, then yes.. It is more "Friendly"
@@kikosquirrel4967 he meant animation-friendly, or in other words, "well suited for animation"
@@Apex_YT_117."Greg Martin"s-"eyes, can't emote beyond permenant scowl without downsize or seporation. Prime's is good compromise!
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 designs are really good, I think tails' eyes look kinda weird. overall though I hope these get 3d modelled soon
I’d love to see how these would look in 3D
no they don’t
@@pattik_not his bro they look like thick triangles
I personally like the way his eyes look,
and these redesigns are great, i agree with that.
The eyes probably could be more "ovaly" but if it were ever used in action as is it would be great
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
Yea the hands would have to be smaller to compensate so they can actually fit in between the arms
Have you seen"the animation of Sonic Games"too?
@@danspex. Yeah, less classic Mickey Mouse, and more"Tom and Jerry"!
@@erikbihari3625 yes i have, why?
@@widerekxxanimations6842. Because it had good ideas and said a lot of smart things(minus everything regarding Amy. For that check out:-"Amy Rose is a strong female character"by"taro marshmellow")!
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).
SA1 Dreamcast model supremacy! Thank you for the kind words
I believe 80% of the sonic fandom can agree that the dreamcast models are peak
Yeah, they look more like Tom and Jerry characters rather than inspired by classic Mickey Mouse, wich is a good compromise!
@@HiCringe. I never heard This brought up, just the music as being uniting all who fractured!
@@HiCringe sa2 is also really good
I like that these designs are more subtle- while still showing some more personality in shape and depth.
I leaved a comment amoung these, describing how personally would've done it. Check out, it's interesting!
As a VERY struggling aspiring character designer, this actually piqued my interest. I didn't expect to like this video (take that as you will), but I learned a lot, and I love to learn so like, yeah. I'm very bad at designing characters to look distinct from one another, so this helped for any future endeavors.
Anyways, side tangent, I gotta mention how good the current 3D models can look/do look in 2D art. Tyson Hesse and Yuji Uekawa really let these designs show, while adding tidbits of their flare to it to make them look stylized. For example, look at TSR: Overdrive, Chao In Space, and even Sonic Frontiers Prolouge: Divergence. The Sonic Channel art is also a really good example. Also, gotta mention Evan Stanley, gotta be some of the best interpretation of these 3D models to 2D art.
Also, fan renders and the CGI cutscenes done by Marza, and formerly Blur, are AMAZING in terms of posing, expression, and overall liveliness when it comes to these models that can often look very dead. The Sonic Unleashed opening, Night of the Werehog, Black Night and Secret Rings CGI, the Sonic Lost World opening, and nothing beats the absolute beauty of Sonic 06 CGI, which both studios worked on, actually. Also, the promo animations for Sonic Frontiers and Forces look relatively eye-catching and filled with detail. Sucks that we didn't get to see them in-game, I'm still mad about that.
Anyways, I've talked WAY too long about stuff no one cares about, so goodbye for 1000 years. :))
don't worry! It was very nice to read!
Yeah I didn't get bored at all and I found a lot of opinions I can relate to in your comment :)
You're not the only who sucks at character designing
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 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.
Tails according to his original sprites and artwork was meant to be orange, never Super Sonic levels of yellow.
@@Solesteam. But it looks better on him, the Sonic sequel found shades that aren't quite orange.
@@erikbihari3625 *In your opinion.* To me he looks like plastic cheese such a bright yellow.
@@Solesteam. Orange would look a lot better on cream honestly, and not just in mine, he looks better color wise in the sequel!
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!
Would definitely love to redesign those two!
@@danspex. I have some ideas, like make him have just goggles, he's moustache should be red(as if he's irish), spendax suspendor with egg buttons around his orange coat, ect.
Still love this video. It's what inspired me to go all out with my designs and experiment with new works for it!
That’s awesome! Really cool I could do that for you and glad to hear about your designs, keep up the good work!
@@danspex Same to you!
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
This looks really cool and good. Would love for you to do that with the other series' characters (shadow, rouge, cream, big, etc)
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
That would be interesting to see modern Amy with her classic quills. The way I always saw it was her headband was pushing her quills down. Thank you I’m glad you loved the vid!
Awesome redesigns! I'd love if some official media took notes from/like these!
Old movie Sonic design described in a nutshell. 0:38
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!
Thank you glad you liked the designs!
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
Or how about making them other colored rubber gloves(like Boom's)? But not a bad idea, honestly.
These videos make me happy^^ great job mate👍
Glad you enjoy it!
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 👍
These designs look amazing, with the tails design I completely agree with the spiky stupid things, it's hard to draw and makes me more unable and make it annoying and a burden for drawing him, I will use these in drawings, you should defenitly do shadow, silver and eggman next, mabey metal sonic since he looks barely anything like sonic now
These designs are fantastic!!
Dude, they look amazing! You did great.
Tails with blue shoes would look kinda cool tho, you might wanna try it.
I've seen a blue shoe'd Tails floating around quite a bit. I wonder what lead to its resurgence?
(I know it was a concept design but I'm just wondering why artists are starting to color them blue all of a sudden.)
@@mill2712 Both orange from Tails and blue are complementary colors, you can see that by Sonic and Tails matching eachother visually.
It became popular because of fanarts and a false concept art.
LOVE THESE! Especially tails. He looks like a little sidekick rather than a teen who doesn’t really need to be around anymore 😭
After frontiers tails did want to do other things though other than just sticking round sonic
yall are just regressing tails' character arc atp
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)
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.
If I do another animatic I could definitely color it. The adventure art style is the best!
I’ve found a new top 10 sonic channel, also the designs look great!
Thank you I really appreciate hearing that! Can’t wait to keep making more content
I love these redesigns. Especially how you took the originals and tweaked them to be better rather than a complete overhaul!
Love the designs bro!
Thanks man!
I've gotta say, these redesigns are actually pretty good!
Loved the video, great points and the designs look so lively with the tweaks! Would love to see more videos and maybe to even make it a series! Would love to see Team Chaotix next! 🤠
OMG I love your designs!!! EVERYONE looks AMAZING and more like they're Adventure designs and i LOVE THAT 💗💗💗💗. Actually, i like both Amy's dresses, the backless one is iconic but the Prime one looks great too, is better for combat i think so fits the character.
Your Color shading and characters proportions reminds me of the satoshi okano art of sonic for the modern sonic designs ( Artist for the Japanese version of sonic 3D blast). The darker bolder colors and the body proportions allowed for some expressive posing and dynamic expressions. Makes it have a retro look but more defined for modern audiences. Great work
I love these designs so much. They feel nostalgic and have such a lively punch to their models. I definitely do prefer these over the modern sonic models.
Part 2 now.
Seriously though, awesome job! I liked it a lot
I agree the render work hasn't been the best and the proportions could definitely use some workshopping.
My ideas for redesigns?
Sonic: His shoes need an overhaul. Nowadays they look like inflexible bricks. I think the movie shoes are in the right direction. I also want him to have some kind of wind motif, but don't know how to incorporate that into his design.
Tails: I think Boom Tails' goggles and utility belt are a step in the right direction, but I'd make Tails orange, incorporate the Jet Anklets into his shoes instead of just letting them cling there like in Adventure. I'd also want Tails to have a recurring combat weapon instead of changing it every single game. Personally, I'd give Tails a pair of Turbine-like Orbitars/Satellites like in Kid Icarus Uprising.
Knuckles: In general, I think shoes in Sonic should be more flexible, but in Knuckles' case, maybe they can recontectualized as sandals like Big? I'd also reshape his fist spikes, curl them threateningly instead of bland cones.
Amy: I like her Summer Olympic Design, though I'd lift the dress neck, make it red instead of magenta(shoes too), and give her her normal wrist rings to resemble inhibitor rings.
I'd love to see more redesigns, these all have so much more character to them. If they were 3D rendered and given the same sort of soft shading that gets effected by dynamic lighting as has been drawn on a number of IDW Sonic comic covers (like one of the R1 variant covers for the 5th anniversary edition oneshot), it would be an absolutely perfect combination.
These designs are the perfect stylistic evolutions of the current models and I hope to see more!
You haven’t redesigned anything. Those are the exact same character designs, this video should be “drawing sonic characters in a different art style” instead or something. They look good but that’s not what that means.
(Him pointing out his changes)
Really good redesigns earned a sub
Ooh these are surprisingly pretty nice! I especially like the darker fur colors.
Guess I’ll give one nitpick for each character as well though just in case any of them stand out to you if you continue this series (which I hope you do)
- I do think you should make sonics shoes a bit more pointy at the front. The strange bump in the ends just don’t give me sneaker vibes.
- like other comments mentioned something does feel a bit weird with tails eyes. Ironically I think it would help if you rounded out the tops of them a bit more
- I think the back of Knuckles head is a bit too big or perhaps it’s just the one dread behind us arm that’s throwing me off…
- I’m sorry but with Amy it just looks like you gave her a bigger… chest. I know you said that the main change was to the Prime dress that fixed the back but I think I’m that case you should have made the pose to show that change or also included a back profile. That way it doesn’t just look like the only change you made to her was giving her bigger… chest
A:"Yeah it does look closer to a smaller clown shoe. B:"the bottom looks a bit too sharp as well, I think. C:"the odd numbered spines and egg shaped head contribute to it. D:"how about if she has back spines like Sonic? That way, the open back would be not just stylish, but functional(it's crazy that her original design that actually needed, doesn't have it, yet This does, sega is so Crazy, sometimes, No"?")!
I like these redesigns you’ve made, it feels like retro sonic art.
Love the video, great quality
Thank you! Really means a lot to me!
@@danspex talk to Sega they might hire you to do this
I love these sonic redesigns, 10/10
This video ROCKS Daniel!!
Good! Slight changes of design and logo makes me better!
I just got over 150 subs recently too man, you went up in subs pretty quick good job on the fast growth
You underrated!!! Like fr nice art 👍
Is it me or does your Sonic looks like the one from FNF? 😂
But tossing that aside, l really dig those designs you did, l've never noticed those mistakes or nitpick before, but now that you mentioned that.. You've greatly improved them.
My favorite one has to be Knuckles! ^^ Just by how you balanced out the Boom design with the modern one, like l never seen being done before!! (except the movie) 🤩🤩🤩
I do hope you do the rest of the characters from the franchise, so that l could hear from you more thoughts on their designs as well.
Good job, man 👍 You've got my interest and respect
P.S. Great way to turn Tails fur into orange, it's like an homage to the original Tails who was sorta orange there. I never knew why they would make him yellow since he was orange, but l'm glad you put it like this 😄
In my fanfics, I've done some region based prevailing genetics work to help characters from similar areas have hints of similar features. This will be important when I convert the books into visual mediums. For example, on Christmas Island the people are fierce and independent to a fault. They're all edge lords, so they will have harsher, sharper features. Sonic will reflect this in having a wider angle in his forehead between his eyes, giving him something closer to a V shaped face. Amy's family on the other hand comes from here and there, but mostly in areas where it's easier to live and people have softer, rounder, and basically cuter features. She will have a narrower angle to the same spot between her eyes, making them more parallel with each other.
your take on tails' eyes looks so perfect, god i hate the eyes his model has rn, hope sega looks at your designs man
These designs are peak. But I think Tails' eyes should be longer. But yeah/ 10/10 designs
I gotta say I love your redesign for sonic in particular manly from those shoes, the feel more like shoes instead of those boots.
these are actually really good, espeacilly about kcukles
i really love these designs especially what you did with the shoes
Thank you I definitely thought the shoes needed an overhaul
@@danspex yeah, those are not meant for easy movement
You nailed it with all of them... except Sonic, I feel like he has too much body and too little leg, his whole thing is he runs fast, so I feel like the original limb to body proportions of the current model would work better.
His Knuckles design reminds me a bit too much of Boom Knuckles.
Really nice designs
I agree with everything you say here sonic being dark blue and tails being orange is AMAZING AND I LOVE THESE REDESIGNS TAILS IS SO GOOD 😭😭😭
3:30 I think the top of his eye isn't round enough there, and his brow isn't big enough, and his mouth looks a bit strange, but it looks right with your design. I think you also got the colours right, and the look of the spikes does look really good, much better than the modern official renders. The mouth and the way the eyes curve into the mouth part also looks really great, and also the pupils looked a bit too circular on the official renders, and once again your design looks better there.
Your Tails design looks really good as well, but I think the tops of his eyes could be a bit rounder and slightly bigger, and his tails also look better than the official renders. I think his proportions, next to the other characters, are really fitting for him (because he's literally 8, and the others are 12-16 lol)
Knuckles' eyes kinda looked a bit too big compared to the size of, and his socks literally looked like *short hollow green cylinders,* and I agree with you about his proportions. Your design really makes his eyes look a lot better, his socks actually look like socks, and I really like his proportions on your design. Also his muzzle area was kinda too big in the official renders, but looks much better on your design.
Your Amy design looks *SO* much better than how her current render looks, she looks much better with bigger eyes and slightly differently shaped pupils.
I completely agree with 10:48, the image on the right definitely looks much better. It's really a shame how the characters' eyes look so much worse in 3D than they do in 2D... Your designs and the IDW characters look so much better in that area. I absolutely love your designs, and I think they would look really awesome in an official game, much better than the current official designs!
I really loved that philosophy of slight enchantments and evolution vs a total reinvention that doesn't even resemble what it once was.
Truthfully, I don't know much about character design but I do know a bit about franchises I love and I often feel that in today's world, companies and cooperation are dead set on completely reinventing franchises to the point where they barely resemble what they once were. Consequentially, this new iteration ends up having little to nothing of what made me love the original incarnation so much.
But that's why I loved your point, I think it is a true lesson that should not only be applied to character design but other areas of media as well. I really hope that not just Sega hears it, but any and all media corporations that are considering making changes to beloved franchises.
Couldn’t of have said it better myself, thank you for your wisdom Obi-Wan
rad redesigns, it shows so much more character than the current models
Finally someome agrees with me that uekawas been losing his edge
I never thought the designs were ever bland. I just think they’ve been around for so long that we got tired of them
Love you also making knuckes buff, i like to give him a bigger chest and larger arms and the sonic movie really helped me draw him that way
Honestly, your designs, the original modern designs. The prime designs and the movie designs are not going to lie . Look the same. Yeah, there are some things different, but still, they all look the same.
These are amazing and I like these much more than the current official models. As for suggestions, I'd like to see your take on all of the characters, but some highlights are: The Chaotix, Shadow, Cream, and Dr. Robotnik.
Oh hey, you're redesigning the Sonic cast! That's not a topic rife with controversy or anything!
(Flashbacks to the lead-up to Sonic Boom)
But yes, I agree: the current models aren't the best.
i really like your designs! whats your favorite sonic character?
Thank you! Besides sonic, big has been a personal favorite of mine
Cool I love it
That Tails and Amy expression and personality BRO WOW
A part 2 with shadow silver Blaze and stuff 👀👀👀
well... nice try.
When he was talking about knuckles I thought he was going to take some inspiration from boom knuckles but I do see what he is talking in the movie design
8:00 YES!! THANK YOU!! FINALLY SOMEONE NOTICED!! i always hated how knuckles was skinny and didnt hav a big build, cuz you know HES SUPPOSE TO BE STRONG!! i liked his design in sonic boom cuz atleast his big build was emphasised (although sonic team did do knuckles dirty with his personality in sonic boom). love the redesign of knuckles
A cel-shaded Sonic game and a Riders-influenced redesign of the flat illustration style is what I'd love to see, tbh. I think late 90s/early 2000s aesthetics are the sweet spot for "Sonic cool".
Me screaming in the sea of comments:
WHAT ABOUT MIGHTY AND RAY!?!?
(Apologies if it comes off as aggressive! Just Imagine that in a playful tone please!)
P.S. With your new redesigns I would love to see the Sonic cast wearing cool clothes in your art style!
For an example you could have Sonic wearing an orange hoodie with the title screen ring on it!
Lastly I want to say that this is the first video I've seen of you and already you've made a wonderful first impression! Keep up the awesome work!
Mighty and ray shall get a redesign. Maybe not soon but eventually they will! Glad you liked the video :)
I really liked these, especially tails and knuckles. It would be cool to see a part 2, maybe with silver shadow blaze and big? Ik the last two are random but that’s just a personal preference on what I think could be cool with some of these redesigns
Bro can you make a part 2.
This is so fire pls make more.
they looks great .. hope somebody turns tjem into 3d models and how they wood look
I hope to see these in a poster with different backgrounds of places from the sonic games
I like the ideas of these, and really like Amy's look, but Sonic just rubs me the wrong way. Idk if it's just cause I'm used to the old proportions, or if this version just needs to be in motion, but he just doesn't look right too me. Maybe it's the chest cause that immediately stood out. It's not bad, just not what I prefer
Yea this design is definitely different from what we’re used to and I’d love to animate these designs someday, if I ever have the time
I think frontiers had a good design for sonic, specifically the in game model. Idk why they don’t just use that for promotions since he’s basically a shorter more classic looking modern sonic. And the fact that they weren’t lazy with the animations in that game opposed to Forces, it looks pretty solid. If he had more energetic expressions, I honestly think he’d be the definitive sonic model. I love your art tho they’re all perfect
Thank you, and yea frontiers was definitely a good step in the right direction hopefully they can go further with it as the games go
Frontiers did have some pretty solid expressions from time to time. The cutscene where he talks to sage on chaos island is a highlight for me.
Sorry, but Thor really, Sonic can still barely emote beyond a permenant scowl there, and"the mascot suit problem"still persists(check"the animation of Sonic Games")!
This heavily reminds me of the Team Sonic Racing character reference sheets.
Yea I was a little inspired by the TSR overdrive animation turnaround sheets glad you caught that
I NEED 3D MODLES OF THESE NOW (also tails w/ blue shoes could have pretty cool to make them a bit more different then sonic's)
Why does nobody wanna give Tails blue shoes?!
It looks so much better 💙
The reason they still have those designs is because they're conceptually good designs. You've admitted the fanbase is able to use those designs effectively. Not to mention Sega has talented animators. But for some reasons they're being restricted; especially infamously with the eyes.
Really, I have more of a problem with the people in charge of the renders. Also, can we please give Modern Sonic back his longer quills? Shorter quills don't work for him.
GOOD STUFF
On Amy's eyebrows, i prefer original one. Because that's eyelashes.
And i just like how adorable she looks like ^^
Little comment on the proportions: The defunct Sonic Runners game actually shortened character limbs in-game, and made them look actually pretty good compared to the regular size
Honestly the main renders they use are my favorite versions of these character designs. The problem to me is that the just don’t animate them expressive enough. The art they show often looks stiff too. But I know they can look good. Countless fan art and stuff like the Sonic Unleashed opening/ Night of the werehog prove that. When I think of Sonic, I think of these designs (Minus the shorter limbs and quills as of late. Not a huge fan of that) and I just wished they proved these designs can look incredible because I know they can.
I mean they aren’t bad they just need
A upgrade to fit 2023s lifestyle
Even Nintendo has upgraded Mario and star fox
And I think sonic needs some of that treatment
Exactly it really needs that modern polish, the renders they have now still look like they did in the late 2000s
I like these redesigns, they look more like animals rather than literal barbie toys
like when I got back to being a Sonic fan I realized that all of the characters have overly reflective eyes like they're made out of metal or something, like I get that eyes do reflect like but this is a bit too much don't you think, Sega?
Also I really like what you did with knuckles, I never really realized the issue with his design until the movie came about, like sometimes when I see people playing as him I assume that his strength comes from his gloves, but it makes a lot of sense with him just being more muscular
And about the socks, I have recently learned that they're socks because I thought they were a part of their shoes, now that you gave them their cloth-y appearance they became instantly recognizable as socks
Sega should really consider remodeling the cast because they're outdated and kinda painful to look at at times XD
I feel that with the redesigns you did for the cast you could mabye make a Sonic youtube series or something of the sort
I feel like they really nailed it for sonic dream team
the disigns are overall pritty solid, though, the head on all of them might need some adjustments
I feel like these redesigns look better than the originals although I do like the originals as well I feel like these designs overall improve them while still keeping it presentable as the exact same character and I hope you do a second video of this where you try to redesign some of the other characters for example metal sonic, egg man, shadow or rouge! If you ever make a second video whatever characters you choose I’ll be OK with
Thank you! Reading that makes me feel I accomplished what I wanted to do with their designs
Do you ever plan on doing the rest of the recurring cast? This was neat and I'd love to see more.
There will definitely be more in the future
Good stuff .
I like how they all looked in sonic adventure 2 also 1 but for me 2 was the coolest the whole gang has ever looked
God i really wish sega initially stuck with the blue shoes for tails, he would looks so perfect w/ them! 😭
