@Gors:
I like how you shaded his quills* but everything else seems bad IMO.It's like his eyes are melting into his muzzle,making his face look extremely deformed,and the shoes have a VERY amatuer look to them.
And the "thing that doesn't make any sense" is actually a spike on Sonic's quill.I understand you don't know Sonic's design very well,so just google Sonic and you'll see that he has a spike(similiar to his quills,but much smaller) coming out of his back.
*Even though I like the way you shaded his quills,it's still very "non genesis Sonic-y",and looks much more cartoony and like Mario inspired style,and even then,the whole sprite doesn't fit very well with your Mario either.
On the original Genesis Sonic games,the lightest blue shade was used mostly for highlight,with the other 2 blue shades being the "main" shades for the head.What you(and to some extent,SS64,but not as much as you)is use the lightest blue shade as the main color and the other 2 as outlines,which is the complete opposite of the originals,also giving the sprites a very cartoony look,which isn't what Sonic originally strived for.
As for the 4 shades of WHITE (they're not even THAT grey,srsly),it's because Sonic's sprite shared palettes with many objects in the game,and many objects were grey/white/mettalic, etc,which is why there are for shades for these colors.
I think you guys are somewhat biased,as most of you are much more used to either making Mario,or making your own thing,which leds to a somewhat unfair and innaccurate sprite of what a S3K inspired sprite should look like.
EDIT
ust look at how you guys are kinda taking Mario as if it was the main thing,and that Sonic should match Mario,while in reality,this is a Sonic style before anything else,and that Mario is merely a very low priority "extra".
