You're either making a Flash or 3D model of old school Sonic. o3o An awesome-saucely designed model, too. Hur. *faves*

speaking of the older sonic, my friend at school gave me a game for the gamecube that has I think all the really old games on it. Not sure if it's all of them though. xD
Nice job on this, I have trouble drawing his older version, the proportions are harder I say personally.

Which would that be? Mega Collection? Mega Collection Plus? Gems Collection?
I have Gems Collection, simply for Sonic CD. Handily, it also has Sonic R (one of my favorite pointless games).

I have the Mega Collection.
👍: 0 ⏩: 2
yes.
I say Sonic the hedgehog 3 is probably the best older Sonic game there is.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah, Sonic 3/Sonic and Knuckles are the best ones but I kinda grew up with Sonic 2 so naturally that's my fave.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I just like the moves Sonic can do on Sonic 3 the best. They're easier to get through a level with xD

Good point. The double jump with the electric shield got me out of trouble a lot once I realised you can do it.

Ah... So how good are you on the classics then?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
between "i'm jumping off a bridge" or "running infront of a bus".
xD jkjk lolz

...? I don't quite understand your evaluation system there- are you saying you aren't too good at the games?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I suck at the old video games, and those dumb fish keep biting me!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ahh... Chopper. Good times. What's the fastest you've manage to clear Green Hill? I think mine is about 28 seconds...
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
HOLY CRAP!!!! Mine's like 1 min. 39 seconds. xd
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think the world record is about 24... Maybe? It might be faster.

wow, i'd like to see them in action

It's gotta be on Youtube- nearly everything is! XD

i would say not to put a neck, it seems pretty coll the way it is at the moment
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That's part of the problem though- without a join space for the neck, the model is going to warp when I try to pose it, you see?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oh...yeah that is a problem
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Unless f course, the head is connected to the body only by a single point, with the animation joint being placed in the exact centre of that join. THEN it'd be fine. Probably.

Hmmm cool....sorry i'm not animation expert so i'm a bit lost......oh wait i just got it

Nice how his head isn't super big compared to his body. If you look back at the older versions of Sonic, you see that his head was about as big as his body, but had smaller hands and feet. This has a classic feel
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yes, the original Sonic was indeed like that- however, I'm basing this version on his appearance in the OVA (or rather Sonic The Hedgehog The Movie). That's why his spines stand up at the back. It also would explain that "retro feel", I suppose?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah, now THAT was my favorite one! Everything about that sonic version was right!

Alright, I've got the idea that you're doing 3D something...
What software? Blender? Flash?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
That'll be Blender!
...Is that a bad thing?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
So, obviously (due to the annotations and comments) it's a plan for a Neo-Classic style model. Nice idea... Just... Do you plan on using it, or is it just for itself, as a nice project?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Just a little project really. I'm not a game designer, so I wouldn't have a clue how to build a game for it either. Why? Did you want to use it for something?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Uh, sorry, no 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
A'ight, fair 'nuff.

Well It looks distinctly like your gunna model him, like you started that time in class, did you ever finish that by the way???
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ah yes, THAT. It never did get finished. Dave told me to move onto something else, seeing as it was nearly done anyway.
But this time will be different! This time I have knowledge of the software, and THIS time, there's no time limit. I'm also using a lower poly count, so that should make him easier to model, right?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well yes and no, it could make him easier but harder to detail, also what version of max are you using???
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Max? Oh, no no no no NO!
I'm using something called Blender for my modeling!
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
oww your using blender...Why???
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Because? XD
I dunno. It just seems easier to handle. Is that a problem?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Nope no problum, if its easier for you to use then use it 
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Ahh, but I've not touched 3DS Max in years. I'm out of practice! XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
it looks pretty awesome so far ^^
...and i have no idea what you are thinking of doing XD
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you
I've always thought that Classic Sonic could be brought to life in 3D properly... So THAT'S what I'm doing!

oh cool
cant wait to see it then
