Yesterday at the party in Tokyo Sonic Team held for Sonic's 25th Anniversary (which was streamed btw) they announced there will be a new Sonic project (new game) next year, then they revealed some new footage of Sonic Boom Fire & Ice, and they showed some never seen before concept art of Sonic characters, here are some photos:

Yep I see ^^
Blaze is similar at Tide of CoolBlue. ^^ https://inkbunny.net/submissionview.php?id=1088376

Bastards, they obviously ripped CoolBlue's "original character" X'D

But in all honesty, I created Smiley a few years before Sonic Adventure 2, so technically I created Shadow before they did =p

lots of this looks like stuff you get from the Sonic Gems Collection.
the Shadow concept art looks like shit
the non rabbit Concept art of Cream is great, especially the lower left one, looks like a fox... which proves my point on Cream being modeled to be a female counterpart to Tails
the bottom middle concept art of Blaze looks the coolest to me, they should keep that one for an odd inclusion to Boom
Jet's bird concept art actually looks like what he does with the gloves and shoes off

I'll admit it, the first concept the had for Silver looks better than his final design to me

that Cream looks more like a red panda then a fox to me.

Especially because of the tail. Nice!

yeah, I noticed that upon a second look.  either way, the other rabbit design is terrible
sonictopfan

I totally agree about Blaze' bottom middle design, I thought the same it looked cooler :D

Cream and Jet went through species changes, interesting.
sonictopfan

Sonic too =p

Right, I forgot Sonic. If I remember, the bunny design was what helped influence the design for Ristar.

I can't say I heard about this one before, but I remember reading that before the spin attack they designed him to lift objects and throw them away like in Super Mario Bros 2 (a similar idea was used in the SMS version of Castle of Illusion which many ideas made it to Sonic The Hedgehog later on) I'm glad they went with the spin attack and making rings scatter around for his health, it helped make the game easier for newcomers to pick up and play and kept the flow going.

No rouge ?

Apparently "Nails" didn't get a lot of redesigns before they finally went with her final, I wonder if Marine had different design changes though.

doesn't look new to me
sonictopfan

Most of it is new but some was shown before.

Regarding the Amy thing, they probably felt 3 was easier to animate than 5.

And no, it ain't a dick (though I can't believe I actually checked that), it's just Shadow's belly fur pattern is all.
sonictopfan

Ironically Sonic Drift isn't really "that" animated, and I know it's not a dick but it looks like one, I wonder what the fan girls would have thought had they kept this design.

HOLY CHAOS, Big looks amazing! What if, Sega? What if?
sonictopfan
9 years, 6 months ago
I know, he was kinda adorable, what happened?
TheRevenge
9 years, 6 months ago
Actually, I thought he looked more fierce that anything else. I'd prefer that guy over the memetastic character we have today.
sonictopfan
9 years, 6 months ago
Either ways we agree he looked better =p
TheRevenge
9 years, 6 months ago
Conceded. *shakes hands*

Hmmm, clearly played around with Cream's species for a while
sonictopfan

They were aiming for what seems like a cat originally before they settled for a rabbit, I wonder how many cats we'd be having had they stuck with her being one.
TheRevenge
9 years, 6 months ago
If we ended up with Cream the Cat, Blaze would've probably been another species altogether.
sonictopfan
9 years, 6 months ago
Maybe...

First rabbit kinda looks like a jackrabbit.  Maybe thought that'd be too long of a name?

Also looks like a possible squirrel design too in the bottom right
sonictopfan
9 years, 6 months ago
I'm looking at it and I see what you mean about the squirrel design.

the cream and blaze ones look interesting ^^
sonictopfan

I kinda liked Blaze' middle bottom design, also Jet's was interesting!
DARKZADAR
9 years, 6 months ago
ah !

it's all interesting, but am I the only one who likes what we got over the over-designed alternatives??
really?

...aw, forget yas.
sonictopfan

No no, I also prefer what we got now over the older designs, I just think Blaze' bottom design was interesting with her hair looking like it's made of flames.
