What is your favorite Sonic design/artstyle?

[ManuelRome]

When it comes to Sonic, I think there's a lot of differences between each design and its personality. So, my favorite design, at least in terms of the classic design, is definitely the one from Sonic CD, specifically talking about the one from the animation.

Spoiler: Sonic CD

And from the more modern Sonic, I think the way that the Sonic Channel draws their characters look really cool.

So what are you favorite Sonic designs or artstyles that he's had over the years?

I have a lot of favorites:

 

[Jonster]

Junio sonic is best boi.

 

[Icarus]

I like the Japanese design used around Sonic 3&K's release but I still have a soft spot for Yuji Uekawa's style during the Adventure era.

 

[Moose the Fat Cat]

The OVA / CD-intro style is unmatched, imo.

My favorite in-game model is the Jeck Jims 3D model version of (vanilla) Sonic.

 

[Joki]

Classic Sonic with green eyes and nothing else exists.
Fr though, Heroes Sonic for the design and BK Sonic for the personality.


Off topic, but BK is slept on

 

[Augus]

CD Opening/OVA style, all the way. I would still watch an entire series that looks like that.

:thonk:

I have a bit more favorite Sonic designs and artstyles. I have the SA1, Junio and Jam designs/artstyles. They're pretty good.

 

[FishandChips]

I like Modern more.

 

[You Gotta be Joshing me]

I've always loved the art for Sonic Riders as well as other early-2000s sonic games

The 3D renders for the Sonic Rivals series have something to them that the current ones just don't have.

Also can't forget Sonic Battle's art, it was so unique compared to the promotional art other games were using

But if you were to ask me which design is my favorite, then I would probably say the 2020 Calendar art for Sonic Channel

 

[Icarus]

I feel like Sega didn't know which art direction the series should have gone during the 2000's (for the best and the worst).



That Rival render looks in-between his Adventure/Advance era and his more modern 06/Unleashed design, I kinda like it.

 

[bigoof]

can it be from srb2 if yes it would have to be neo ponity advance 3 sonic and alt sonic

 

[Bandana Waddle Dio]

The riders and Toei/Junio

 

[Its_Sparkie]

That one CD style

Idk why but I like it alot it makes him look cute but also cool

 

[Icarus]

Idk why but I like it alot it makes him look cute but also cool

Those two are legit some of the best Sonic artwork in the entire franchise. I wish Mania had more like these.

 

[Gambit]

Junio sonic is best boi.

JUNIO BOYS RISE UP

The OVA design has always been the Sonic design that I held nearest and dearest to my heart.

 

[Icarus]

Who drew the artwork in Sonic the Screensaver? I wonder why we didn't get a classic game or cartoon in the same style.

 

[SeproDep]

Sonic Advance and Sonic Battle had some epic designs.

 

[TehPuertoRicanSpartan]

Mine is Classic Sonic!
