Description ...the character designers of Sega stuck with the Rabbit design for Sonic?

This picture is old. Really really old. I made this in 2003, that's how old it is. Thing is, I could have sworn I already uploaded this here, but upon scanning through my gallery it turns out I didn't. Huh.
So I worked on it a little more, added shading and uploaded it now, yay!

Anyway, I was hunting through my harddrive for random junk earlier today when I stumbled upon this. I recall way back then, a topic on the Moogle Cavern popped up asking people what they thought would have happened to the Sonic franchise if Sega had made a few different decisions back then.
One possibility that popped up was that nobody would have come to the idea of Sonic being a hedgehog, and instead, sticking with the Rabbit design they thought up for him in pre-production.

The ball started rolling, and soon we started wondering what'd happen to the other hedgehogs then; Amy, and of course Shadow.

....Then I made this.

Obviously he is the greatest rabbit ever.

EDIT: Changed the transparency colour so it'll look better on the front page.

Haha XD
Makes you wonder if he would have collected Chaos Carrots or something had this plan gone through

Somehow hes like a sinister version of the Trix Rabbit who wants revenge on the kids who dont give him the Trix. Sonic or Shadow the Rabbit might have been interesting, I do like the colours and the style.
Great job mate.

If Sonic would have remained a rabbit, the whole "Eggman"-thing would have made a lot more sense... especially during Easter... :0

OMG RABBIT SHADOW!!!

I remember seeing the rabbit sonic design. He was supposed to use his ears like Ristar uses his arms.

Shadow: "You're the fake! I'm the ULTIMATE BUNNY!"

Hmmm... somehow that just doesn't sound as menacing.
