Custom Sonic Sprite

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.

His ears?
apart from that its really good. i like his hands and i hate his eyes

Fixed his ears.

ohh there they are i like it more right now
but his feet look like if they were replaced to the left
srry if you don´t understand me but i´ll try to explain it better:
sonic´s idle looks like....mmmmmm... it has this -> / form

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

aw how cute...now make him do a thumbs up ^ i agree with Nova over here

I would if I could make hands, but until I don't suck t them, no.

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.

that's actually a really nice looking knuckles! Great job!

is it me or does He looks... a bit childish.
Apart from that, Pretty. shame you don´t make his movements.

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.
