Sonic The Hedgehog 2006 + Shadow The Hedgehog Concept Art

For most Sonic fans, Shadow the Hedgehog and the 2006 Sonic the Hedgehog are games they would like to forget. For every component that was executed right, there were about a dozen more that were way off target. One thing you have to try and give both of them credit for–the attempt was at least for them to look pretty.

I suggest enlarging them, for detail, because they have some interesting features.

Shadow:

Sonic:

Silver:

Shadow looks nice; the other are...I guess.

Detailed. but not good. I don't like fuzzy sonic, and sliver looks like he's made out of glass. Shadow is good though,

Furry Sonic is ok, especially since I actually like the visible fur, it makes him look less like a toy. Silver is glas. Shadow has no change.

Why IS Sonic furry and Silver made of glass? O_o

Aww, fluffy Sonic looks cute! ^_^ They really should've used that design, I certainly hope they do in future Sonic games! But wtf did they have in mind for Silver XD He looks odd....

even sonics peach fur on chest arms muzzule are fluffy! ^_^

What.the.f
What had they done to sonic AND SILVER

The reason they are modeled in a pose like that is to make is easier for them to be rigged with a skeleton and not have it deform the mesh that much when it's time to animate them. Looks like Sonic's been hit with a fur-shader (which are often tough to render) and Silver has some reflective properties.

Also, Blur Studio is in Southern California.

I KNOW why they are in a T-pose. I work with it on my 3D models so I know.
What I'm asking is WHY Sonic has fur and Silver is reflective.
I mean, why is Shadow the only normal one in there?

Because it's Sonic 06.

Doesn't really work, since they were normalish in Sonic 06, but whatever. My guess is they were trying new things.

I liked Shadow the Hedgehog. Sonic '06 I want to forget. Silver looks, well, like a glass doll. Sonic looks too furry. Shadow is perfect.

Except seeing him smile; that's kind of odd.

Shadow looks flawless, like pretty much everyone else said. I believe know why, too: Sega wants to please the Shadow fanboys so they stop whining. Silver's ridiculous shininess looks better than whatever screwed up texture they put on Sonic, though it's still ridiculous.

Heh, I've seen that concept art. I've seen a heck of a lot of concept art recently, actually. In fact I have a piece of the Sonic Heroes concept art in my sig. They also had Charmy, Amy, Cream, a chao, Omega,Neo Metal Sonic, Eggman and "Eggman in da Box", as the concept art called it, as well as other art for various Sonic games.
