I think this captures the essence of “Punk Mickey Mouse” that Sonic originally was supposed to have.
I think it fits more than the skater bro we got in the late 90s/2000s or the quippy Marvel hero we have now. Plus he actually looks like a hedgehog.
Man I’m an old nerd.
Reminds me of UK’s Fleetway’s Sonic the Comic design
I am upset by the textures implied in the art.

I do not appreciate the implication that the shoes are part of his body. Or more troublingly that his body is of the same material as his shoes.
Fleetways Sonic was very much a shitty little punk haha (I say that affectionately)
