Style Evaluation (Formerly: Non-Sonic Sprites)

[Gors]

people will probably hate this but this is what I'd do with sonic: cleaner, sharp and simple. everything else is explained in the image, including why the actual sprite has flaws.

i did away with all that jumble that was on his eye, also removed those lone black pixels on the feet.

the specs were kept, although now in a color that makes sense (blue. not gray)

tried to remove the banding/gradient in several places.

I dare say that Sonic is inherently difficult to draw, since of several reasons:

1-curves on small space
2-noodle limbs that often get covered by huge hands/feet
3-having a design that works better as silhouette than a 3D model.

but by approximation, all I could do is in that image and if you're willing to use it as inspiration, go ahead. I'm not exactly fond of it either, but it's tons cleaner than your initial sprite.
