Custom Sonic Sprite
on 6/28/2012, 3:03 pm
So hey, it's Blitz, that guy who never posts anything worthwhile.
And I am here to bring you a 100% custom sprite of Sonic, made from scratch.

The sprite was loosely based off of the original Genesis sprites so in that regard I kinda failed since I have no sense of scale whatsoever. Still, I am actually really pleased with this. The only part I really don't like is the hands. It's not that they look bad but that they don't look right. I suppose it's mainly the perspective I did them in. I also seem to have forgotten to add the quills on his back but oh well.
I actually learned a lot from this ten minute sprite. I learned a lot about how to make the sprites look less flat and about shading in general, and how to make it look more natural like the Genesis sprites (which is what I was aiming for). Not sure how that works but it does.
Any criticisms?
**EDIT** And like the idiot I am I forgot to give hi ears. There, fixed.

He's kind of leaning don't you think? Shading could be less... exaggerated.

Hey so I made a new sprite that doesn't suck this time. I wasn't able to put the head on the body without it looking like shit so they're seperate sprites.

And this time it't more than a shitty attempt at Sonic 3's sprite with more shades and not good. Still stole the colour palette though D:

Wow.. emmm it certainly looks A LOT more better than the last one but the shading of the darker blue needs to be a bit softer

I made it look more like Classic Sonic by making the quills less droopy (Which somehow made it look not terrible on the body which is a plus) and made the shoes fit with the sprite instead of being Advanced shoes with more shades. Got rid of the white soles because for some reason I couldn't get it to look right.

Also fuck you he still has green eyes

Without white soles, Sonic has no soul.
JK, make more, and make a scene with him fighting knuckles

I tried making a Knuckles sprite and it was pretty bad. I'll probably try again later.

I made a Knuckles.

It might just be me but it seems a bit too cutesy.

Yeah that's what I meant when I said he looks a bit cutesy. I'm just happy the sprite actually looks good.
And I might make sheets later but for now I'm leaving them.
I'm also in the process of making Tails.

How come I don't get this many replies.......... the anatomy needs a tiny bit more polish but other wise those are mighty fine sprites.
