Indigo Rush Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I don't know anything about Beaver the Baker and he's already my favorite character on the lone principle of being Beaver the Baker. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Solkia Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 In regards to blue arms, while I personally don't give enough of a shit to get mad about it like I do with Buffles, I thought BlazeHedgehog on Tumblr brought up a good point: Blue arms has been the symbol of lazy Sonic art for more than a decade and a half. There's not really any excuse for it. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Indigo Rush Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Thought I'd do a little Photoshop edit to see how the blue arms would look at a more popular piece of Sonic artwork: This actually looks quite nice. But to each their own, I suppose. Skin-colored arms are definitely irreplaceable for the SEGASonic visual style, but I gotta give props to Sonic Boom for being different.

Jovahexeon Jax Joranvexeon Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Heh, y'know one of those sketches looks a lot like Pinstripe to me. Not surprising considering we have Crash Bandicoot veterans on board. Hmmm, maybe they might re-design and re-introduce the gun-toting Nack based off of Pinstripe Potoroo.

Salamander Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Blue arms has been the symbol of lazy Sonic art for more than a decade and a half. There's not really any excuse for it. Or is it instead the case that blue arms have been the symbol of intuitive Sonic art, and Boom is finally canonising what there has always been an unconscious impulse towards? 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JaidynReiman Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 For those who want an automatically better/closer look at the board, here it is. The character in the second row at the right end looks kinda like Sally. I DOUBT its her, but 'eh, looks kinda like her. Still really hard to tell in this sheet though since its so blurry.

VO.SUPER Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 The guy to the left of the top right guy looks a little like Fang. I can tell it isn't him telling by his nose, but he looks to be a town troublemaker for sure. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TearForFear Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I take back what I said four days ago, now I actually like these alternative design. Mostly because their faces are the same as always (the only difference I spotted is the shape of Tails' eyes, more rounded than his SEGA look) Honestly I didn't notice Sonic's blue arm and still don't Knuckles is okay, I don't know why most are bothered to the fact that he "has fingers" look at the positive side: now he can catch a postcard without miserably messing up 4 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Nepenthe Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I've seen less people (in fact, no one) bothered by the fact that Knuckles' fingers have been revealed than I have seen people bothered by the fact that his proportions still make him look like a deliberately bad Photoshop job from NeoGAF. 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I don't mind Knuckles having fingers at all. Honestly, I always thought that Knuckles just wore gloves that covered up his fingers rather than him just plain having no fingers. The guy to the left of the top right guy looks a little like Fang. I can tell it isn't him telling by his nose, but he looks to be a town troublemaker for sure. I noticed that myself. He did somewhat resemble Fang to me, and who knows, the nose could just be part of a redesign. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jason Berry Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I actually like fingered-wrist tape-metal spikes attached Knuckles design over the Boxing gloves with spike poking out design. His upper body still freaks me out though. XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JezMM Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I'm really not bothered by Knux fingers at all. He still has chunky hands and that's what matters (they were way too slender in the fan film). Looking at that manipulated image of the concept art photo, I'll be shocked if that racoon girl isn't a redesigned Marine, really will. It looks so much like her and the boomerang motif kinda seals it. If they do bring back side characters like her I have no problem with them having more drastic redesigns considering they aren't quite as beloved.

VO.SUPER Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 It was mentioned in the Best of the Rest thread, and I thought about her outfit. I expect them to change that immediately to work with standards and practices over here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'll be shocked if the raccoon isn't a redesigned Marine, either. And on that note, look at the character JUST to her right. That lavendar color is the same color as Blaze. I only just noticed this, and the overall shape could be Blaze as well. The guy to the left of the top right guy looks a little like Fang.

He did somewhat resemble Fang to me, and who knows, the nose could just be part of a redesign. I do keep noting, though, that although that character somewhat resembles a weasel like Fang, the color scheme is way off. The nose could be a redesign, but would they change the full color scheme as well? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Vertekins Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 The character to the left of Sonicized-Aika (As I like to call her) looks very much like a poodle Her fur is a poofy afro on top of her head and you can see her pink ears coming out either side beneath it. She also appears to be wearing a nurses cap with a red cross on it with possible nursing clothes. Maybe a character who tends to the main characters when they're injured/ill?

Because what little I saw of fur, looked like his purple fur. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Blood Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I actually like fingered-wrist tape-metal spikes attached Knuckles design over the Boxing gloves with spike poking out design. His upper body still freaks me out though. XD Actually, it would appear that he wears skin-tight gloves with tape over the top and cut-outs for his spikes. He's not wearing knuckle dusters. You can see it even more clearly in-game than in the art. I happen to think that Knuckles looks really cool here. 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
VO.SUPER Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 I did my best to interpret what that nurse will look like. Rushed, yeah, but I don't have much to work with. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Gabz Girl Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 No doubt about it, that must be Marine! X3 same colour scheme, raccoon girl and she has a boomerang. Hnnnnggg! This means that Blaze might appear too. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MamboCat Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 sooo... Knuckles still has his spiky knuckles? Cool. Maybe if he drops a size or two... his design won't have been changed that much afterall. His shoes look pretty much the same. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Blue Blood Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 You know, I'm a wee bit concerned that any new characters are going to end up looking overly complex compared to the the four Heroes and Eggman. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

azoo Posted February 10, 2014 Share Posted February 10, 2014 Having Marine look like boomerang-head there would actually be pretty neat. Wish we could see it closer though. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
