Description
I originally made Keith for a Sonic comic back in the day that never even made it past 10 pages in length.Keith was supposed to be the sonic of Scourge from the Archie comics, which was a horrible idea in more ways than I can count.
I've since heavily rewritten his backstory and character(not that much was there before), in case I ever do anything with him. He still has his psychic powers, but they're significantly less broken than they used to be.
He also still remains as some weird hedgehog-cat hybrid, previously my only reason for that was "it looked cool", but I've written him to be from a planet where the species evolved differently to explain that.
Design notes and changes:
I have no clue what I was doing with the last sprite in row 1. I don't think I ever planned on using it, but it was so long ago I fail to remember.
The 2013 sprites was never finished, it may look finished but I was never satisfied with it and planned to go back to it later.
In the 2014 sprite, I decreased the stripes on his spines down to just one and removed the goggles. This sprite was also never finished.
The head for the 15/16 sprites was resized and edited off the 2014 sprite.
In the 15/16 sprites*, I tried to give him a more regal or royal looking outfit to match his role of being a prince, which was an aspect of the oldest design that stayed.
The metal sonic version of him was pretty much something i just did out of boredom.
Speaking of stuff I did out of boredom, I was editing my sprites for a sort of 'what if' alternate universe thing (Similar to underswap). In doing this I found I actually liked Keith's design better after the swap and made that his regular design for the time (See second to last sprite in 15/16 row)
Starting in 2017 I did a few minor edits to the most recent version to improve his design before going in and redoing the bulk of the sprite. Changed his eye color, because yellow looked better on him.
Fun fact: The last sprite on here to be publicly released is sprite 4 in the 2011 section.
*I don't have records for the exact dates for a lot of these, so I grouped together the ones that were either from 2015 or 2016.
