I think this captures the essence of "Punk Mickey Mouse" that Sonic originally was supposed to have.

I think it fits more than the skater bro we got in the late 90s/2000s or the quippy Marvel hero we have now. Plus he actually looks like a hedgehog.

Man I'm an old nerd.

Reminds me of UK's Fleetway's Sonic the Comic design

I am upset by the textures implied in the art.

I do not appreciate the implication that the shoes are part of his body. Or more troublingly that his body is of the same material as his shoes.

Fleetways Sonic was very much a shitty little punk haha (I say that affectionately)

This slightly beefy version makes me think of Hazard, one of Overwatch's newer characters. He's a tank with a tortoise shell that shoots spikes. He's scottish and the only character in the lore with a completely clear and stated ideology, anarchist.

i mean he is also a kid. that's a significant part of his character.
