#sonic jam and sonic r also had good approaches for a 3d representation of him

[antirepurp]

classic sonic looks so nasty in 3d though. i really dislike his quill distribution that bumps up the middle quill to clean up his silhouette, i understand what they were going for but it makes the back of his head disgusting to look at. his pupils being fully black looks fucking soulless and him being featured in games that strive for a type of realism like gens and forces does not help with that at all. the light blue irritates me, the back quills and tail and legs jut out of his perfectly spherical body in a gross way especially when compared to the modern design, he looks. bald, somehow, i feel like it's a combination of the ratio of head to eyes and his quills being so small, it is just. sorry but that model is bad and the contexts its used in don't do it any favors for that matter and if i cared about any of the games that gremlin is in i'd have to do something different with him lest i lose my mind
