It's not that this softer guy ISN'T Sonic, it's that the other model is "louder" and prouder of the features unique to Sonic
It is impossible for longtime fans to not be distracted by the visual "shame" and "insecurity"
This model also debuted 2007, the era with the LOWEST respect towards #Sonic

Your Sonic model is crazy good! Wanted Bluesky to see this, the Shadow one next to it is awesome too but I want to direct the deserved traffic to your original post for your full work!
If you ever post it here, I can delete and praise it via a quote if you'd like!

Just so my hopes for the future are crystal clear, Chao Tales has the opposite issue, however because it's a cute side project it gets less focus from fans.
Sonic looks awesome, his Mouth and Quills cheating towards the camera and never disappearing behind effects.

Studio Giggex hides this issue with flashy effects, dramatic preceptive and camera angles
True talent on display and impressive animation, but being used as a band-aid solution to the underlying issue, specific to Sonic
I want SONIC to win, not a brand
(The effects stretch, instead of the shape)

Sonic's ear is nearly as big as his whole EYE here
This animation is the most popular in the entire series
Stop focusing on the static shape of Sonic
It's about HOW those shapes are used to show movement, he's made up of arrows ▶️▶️▶️
The issue is the model we have is built to stay fixed

It's built like a pocket, hanging on the side of his face. Look at where his teeth go.
Instead of a HUGE mouth, that rarely opens fully, and in the center.

3D gives us a lot of flexibility in games.
But that doesn’t mean nothing is lost.
Fused mono eye, side mouth, iconic 3 quill logo-like head-shape..
No other character is so obviously meant to be made up of cartooning short hand, to give it its iconic look
3D animation solutions can’t do it

3D Sonic Models should have mouths that slide dynamically in sync with the head angle like the VTuber models
Main reason SEGA won't do it is because it cannot be automated
Vtubing has a static camera and this model is 2D, so the mouth doesn't need to be 3D to show depth at different angles

Song is so innocent and kid friendly, then this demonic line just pops outta no where.
There was definitely a creative struggle writing these lyrics.

Something about the face went wrong between Riders 1 and 2 imo
Actually, you can see the major differences are the pupils, mouth and muzzle.
You can actually see the muzzle swelled forward for some reason, maybe to fit the now 3d modeled mouth?
What's hilarious is IN GAME the mouths are PERFECT

And I’ve held onto these for a minute, but I’m convinced Sega accidentally cooked with Sonic facial expressions early on, looked at the bill after and said “never again”. Maybe they look soft now to cheaply capture that stretchy feeling without the work/cost?

It's the only model, so perfectly in the middle of the gradient of sharp/soft sonic shapes, that it fits in every 3d Sonic game.

Why does this 'Squish-ification' happen, even when the goal is to emulate an older design?
Is it really just 'Cute = Profit' for both Modern AND Classic?

Thank you everyone for so many comments on my latest video! I’m always so amazed what I discover about why people love this series so much..
I’m back to aiming for daily uploads, so I hope some of you are able to stick around for the discussion, as it evolves. It wouldn’t be the same without you!

I know this doesn’t mean Sonic aged between movies, but let me cope.
