I like these and the fact they're making the more obnoxious parts of the Sonic fandom b'awww is a nice bonus also.

The base designs look great, but the models used for the game and show look weird and stretched out. Kinda sucks they ended up like that.
In example, in the concept art Knuckle's head is just a bit wider than the game model which makes it work and not feel "stuck on" like the game model does.
The concept art was what I based that on
Well, I disagree with that notion.
Like my art? I do commissions!! -> https://www.allspark...

Well, the link would work if this new forum format wasn't so broken to the point where I can post links without HTML code.
And like Database said, it will be a branch off series like the comics and the Sonic cartoons before this.
Just click the little chain icon, paste your URL in, and *poof* workable link.

As for that I get the feeling it's more like Star Trek's "We're not replacing the old Universe" merely making everything canon going forward in that style leaving the old Universe to wither and rot with non-canon novels/comics BUT IT'S STILL THERE YOU GUYS!
If this turns out to be popular.
If not, than they'll likely cycle back to the designs. Personally I'm fine with the new designs but I've never been a Sonic fan so eh.

Tails has never looked so badass. Let's hope he gets to do more than pilot mechs and planes this time around.
Really hope Eggman has Orbot and Cubot to play off of in this.
...
Needs more Shadow >_>
I figure if this does well, We'll see Team Dark show up later.

Worse. Shadow will have an impractically long high-collared cloak like he's trying to be Spawn.

Found this, thought it was neat:
I think Luigi is the odd man out in that one. I don't think having different jumping/running physics to Mario or being able to run in the air translates to having a lot of upper body strength.
I think that would only work if he was changed so he used the classic hammer/mallet as a signature weapon.

Mario makes sense as the burly one, but that screws up the cast parallels.

If the Big Red Button team is led by an "Uncharted and Jak & Daxter veteran", I'm pretty keen.
But, uh:
"We were exploring different outfits and we went through a lot of iterations and the scarf was something I've used in the past and it works for me and it works for the character. Really, the history of that comes from the old western days, with John Wayne, and as a kid watching a lot of those westerns, that really stuck with me. And you see the use of the afghan in a lot of action movies because of the soldiers and what's happened with more association with the Middle East. So that DNA made its way into what makes a character action hero nowadays."
Ooookay.
But seriously, I actually love the weird bandaged post-apocalyptic vibe. So.

Longer limbs on everyone is kinda off putting, but I guess we went through a similar thing in the jump from Genesis to Adventure era games.
Tails and Amy look great, Knuckles only less so (His head doesn't really fit with that body) I'm trying to figure out the scarf on Sonic tho. Robotnik looks alright, but I really dug his Adventure look more, kinda not digging the asymmetricalness of the new outfit.
Animation in the show looks slick tho, very expressive and good keyframing. Unfortunately, the music in the TV show trailer sounds like the worst of 4Kids re-scoring on their bad dubs.

I can't believe not a single person here has heard of athletic tape...
Anyway, I'm liking the look of this, for the most part. Knuckles is the most off-putting, but he's growing on me, though I'll be disappointed if he can't glide any more.
My original impression was that maybe this was like game Sonic a few years later-- late teens, early 20s, somewhere thereabouts. Apparently not, but oh well.
The episode descriptions sound hilarious, and I can't wait to see that stuff.
It reminds me of getting a new Mega Man, except there it's usually a whole other entity, rather than the same character with a new look/setting.
Animation doesn't look bad to me, but at the same time, I still remember this crime against humanity.

This enhanced focus on Sonic's friends is great, especially for video games! If there's one thing that makes Sonic games great, it's their necessary and not-at-all-annoying supporting cast!
While I know you're just faticious everywhere, let's be honest, the supporting cast isn't the reason for the terrible games. Its the fact Sonicteam don't understand what makes the games popular

Anyway, on the tape, it's not that I don't get the logic behind it. I'm just not sure it works for me... At least on Sonic. When I think of Sonic, I think of a character who's essentially a living race car. Sharp, curved lines, sleek, solid colors, and stripes and such. That's why the scruffiness and the tape makes him look... Well, threadbare. On his shoes at least, it also looks really random because... What's the point of putting it over your shoes?
To be honest, Tails, Amy, and Eggman are the strongest, design-wise.
