Artist's Comments
Er... well, it was midnight and couldn't help the random flat-colour concept drawing of doom? ;_; I've got a bit of a worldbuilding obsession going on at the moment D:
(now does this go in fanart or anthro? Hmmm...) *cough* Anyway. I realised a while ago that when I write Sonic fanfiction, I don't describe characters based on the official art. I see them more as anthros. Because I'm awkward like that. I've made several attempts at drawing Sonic characters in that style before, but they always looked a bit... blurg... wrong. Proportions all meh. Heads the wrong shape. Ack. I think this one is much more like it. Although since it was drawn at midnight, please ignore the fact I have zero grasp of anatomy and can't draw legs, and that one of their heads is too big, as at the time I was too tired to do much about this ^_^ In fact i'm gong to flag it as critique discouraged because BLEH. I know. >.< So on the left we have male and female hedgehogs. One with sharp stiff quills (like Sonic pre-blue) and one with hair-ish quills like Amy. (it's not a gender thing. I just felt like drawing one of each.) One the right, male and female echidnas, one with knuckle claws and one without. (again, not a gender thing. Neither is the colouring.) Note 1: these are not supposed to be any characters in particular. They're just a couple of average hedgehogs and a couple of average echidnas. Note 2: I don't want any comments about how tall Sonic is in the next-gen game, ta.  in The Strange World of Thalia they're staying short. Dammit.Note 3: *sigh* yes, naked furries x_x well it's not going under Mature, there's nothing to see. I reckon most Mobians don't *need* to wear clothes as everything's covered with fur/scales/feathers and their um, proportions aren't as obvious as a human's anyway. Well apart from Rouge. But she's weird. I like my characters to NOT look like Pamela Anderson ^_^ I just hope you can still tell which gender is which... LOOK, EYELASHES! *points* Bleh, why do I get the feeling this is one of those pics i'm going to really, really regret posting? Oh well. Actually I'm tempted to do a series of these now XD |

The great thing is, they even look like real hedgehogs and real echidnas, but look similar enough so you can tell they're both spiky animals. XD

I love this style of the Mobians, as opposed to the way Archie and Sega does it.

Comment, to get comments.
Share your kindness, not your hate.
Love the art, before yourself.
What was your reasoning behind making the quills on them all quite so many shades darker than the fur? I understand that's how it works with real-world animals too, it just seems a little too seperated tone-wise to me.
If you were to do other mobian anthro characters, for instance a fox, how would you differentiate them from the hedgehog design (specifically your female here)? Aside from the tail and arms, she does have quite a fox-like look to her.
Ignoring those completely trivial points that are just me being pedantic, this is a really good piece. Very creative and imaginative, the difference between male and female is recogniseable.
What other animals would you consider doing? Rabbits always an option, i'd be interested to see your take on the pig family, porker evolved into a more anthro character over the years through STC, the kind of creature that Grimer can be classed to would be interesting to see too...
Great work!
As for the quills being a different shade... I like the look myself, but you wouldn't really notice it if the images were shaded.
