Reminder that Shadow could have looked a whole lot worse.

... Although that fourth Shadow is unsettling as fuck.

beta rouge where

>they picked the LEAST edgy Shadow design

lmao

I kinda like that fourth gamma

They didn't show any for her.

They did show some for Boom!Sonic though.

What do you mean "looked"? He still does.

>white and blue arms
Wow that looks even worse than 100% blue arms

>no top hat Gamma

Booooo.

These look alright to me.

Pretty hilarious when you think about it.

I like the pants.

>every other beta design had FUCKING PANTS
really dodged a bullet there

every sonic character looks like something from deviantart, that shit CREATES autism

now i'm really glad the changes ended up only being an arm recolor and a scarf.

Boom Sonic could have been much,much worse.

Guys, just because you used to work on Crash doesn't mean he has to BE Crash.

Bottom right is actually pretty creepy for a Sonic game

That second Big looks cool as fuck

Interesting that they apparently hadn't figured what animals these two would be. Tiger Cream is pretty cute, but happy with what we ended with.

It's Mephiles

Shantae Blaze yesss.

Wasn't there any for Rougy?

Did they mention this at all?

eyy it's daxter

I'm glad they realized birds would be a better route. Too many small mammals.

>wingers

I dig that second one. Reminds me of the egg robos

upper right feet are disgusting, they're longer than her legs.

Just think of the fetish porn bullet we dodged there

top right is cute, except those appalling feet
fucking hell, we dodged a bullet with this

Why would there be? Sega didn't design her, they ripped her off from a fancharacter.

Maybe his style inspired faggots on Deviant Art.

So, let's get this straight. Doctor Robotnik's grandfather's daughter contracted AIDs, which inspired him to go to a space station to create the perfect life form. At first, the perfect life form was a lizard, but he settled on making a hedgehog instead. After the government found out however, the showed up to shut him down, procured Shadow, and many decades later Shadow goes on a rampage thinking it's what Gerald Robotnik's daughter wanted until he suddenly remembers it's the stark opposite of what she wanted. He then burnt up reentering Earth's atmosphere, only he didn't because he then went on to fight aliens and become a super secret agent and holy fuck Sonic is stupid.

Bottom left us better than the final product, just needed more polish and less edge.

Not AIDS. NIDS.

And he's not a secret agent anymore. If he ever was.

Its about a giant anthropomorphic hedgehog that runs fast and fights an egg shaped man what the fuck were you expecting.

>top and bottom middle

This was the Sonic Boom redesigns before they scrapped the whole thing and started over
1/2

Fuck my anus these are bad

Kirby is about a chubby pink ball that eats enemies and spits them out on other enemies, yet their storytelling and characters are always well made and fun, not retarded like Sonic.

>He then burnt up reentering Earth's atmosphere
He didn't. He used Chaos Control to teleport himself.

Shadow always looked like something from deviant art.

i kind of like it

Those gloveless feathered hands in bottom left should have made it to the final design.

Top row right and bottom row left = CalArts intensifies

Sonic's storytelling and characters are always well made and fun too, though. Al least, until Colors.

I WANNA FLY HIGH

Kirby has a plot? I havent played the new games.

Nigga you crazy. Colors was what it needed after years of trying to be Final Fantasy.

I'll accept this.

>Not AIDS. NIDS.
It's pretty much AIDS with an N so people wouldn't bitch.

Oh look its crash bandicoot.

...

Yeah. ;_;

He looks like a goody-2-shoes version of Stitch.

Colors' storytelling was pretty bad, though. It was just joke after joke. The concept itself (Eggman builds a giant space theme park but it actually is a giant weapon that uses the energy of an alien race) is pretty good, but the writing is really bad. That game's story would have been way better if you got rid of those cutscenes. Not even the improved japanese localization could fix it.
Also, the characters were written really really bad. Sonic doesn't act like Sonic. Tails doesn't act like Tails. The same applies to Eggman.
It just got worse with Lost World.

It's not awful, but having the monoeye is key to Sonic being Sonic. You can't just make him the average Disney forest critter. He's made his impact.

Is that true? is there a source for this?

top middle reminds me of knux, which was probably the point

I like they used the eye of the bottom right for Metal Sonic later

>>>Racoon/tanookie

top right reminds of mickey mouse

Allegedly they stole the design from some fan named Dawn Best.

It's not true lol

The old games had as much plot as the new ones, they were just expressed more subtley

I liked the bottom left design best and I have the one we ended up with.
In the modern one, take away the beak and you would have a regular hedgehog with a feathery tail.
Why does a Hawk have no feathers?

>that gif

...You're him, aren't you?

I don't know who you're talking about

He already does, though. All of those designs are less Deviantart than his canon design.

Riiiiiight...

Anyway, Sonic is a goofy series about a fast blue hedgehog fighting an egg-shaped manchild with an amusement park obsession. Its supposed to be goofy and silly, which is exactly what Colors was.

I really don't believe any of that happened but holy shit that name, Dawn Best. That brings back memories of my sonic autism. Does anyone here remember Team Artail?

>tfw we'll never get to see the 4 thicc beta designs of Rouge
You know her beta art was lewd if they didn't have anything to show.

>>Shadow LITERALLY looked like something from Deviantart
>looked

...

But what does it MEAN?

I like the rough "treasure hunter"-ish clothes, I think it fits well the character, Sonic seems kind of a poorfag anyway.

but the design is ugly as fuck.

He didn't use Chaos Control though.
He was found battered on the surface of the planet by Eggman and brought back to life using one of his machines. The cost was his memories, however.

SKY HIGH

To be fair, it's not that much of a stretch from Amy's origin, since she originated in a manga and got elevated to game canon.

>He didn't. He used Chaos Control to teleport himself.
He died, Shadow wasn't supposed to be alive. The sole reason he still exists is due to his quickly raising popularity amongst fans.

Is that from Doxy?

Nah, the flash of light when he disappears was too unnatural. They knew they could write him back in as needed.

Fuck. I think Amy's an obnoxious little shit but that's actually cute.

nitrodraws.tumblr.com/image/145157486137

He died and was replaced with an android.

Amy is irresistible.

Didn't that turn out to be bullshit?

I remember when I had sonic autism. It consisted of me reading fan-made Sonic sprite comics online and watching the Sonic X show.

Yes. But you only hear it if you wait five minutes to kill the last boss in the Shadow game.

I find her to be annoying as hell too but I can't help but have a soft spot for her since she's super cute.

Too unnatural? That's just a generic twinkle flash in the horizon, one of the most used cliches in japanese media, it even uses similar sound effect.

The cutest.

that top left one, if you change the hue to purple could cut paste into the coldsteel pasta

Post the image of what Amy did in the recent comic a week ago.

>Blaze was destined from the begining to look cool

>Martial Artist Blaze
>Genie Blaze
>Literally fire

Help. I love it all.

so these are all of the failed E100 prototypes?

Deviantart/10
Smoke Weed instead.

...those talon boots would have been cool...

so this explains that joke in the cartoon series about Sonic hating pants.

It's been a while since I've watched the scene, but I could have sworn it looked off. Not just a twinkle, but like chaos control.

Oh no. What did the little bitch do now?
