Did you, much like many Sonic fans gasp in awe of the complete redesign of Sonic as he's portrayed in the upcoming movie? The loveable hedgehog with the impeccable stamina had a major facelift following some intense criticism of the original design and now we know how the production got its design back on track. Illustrator and animator Tyson Hesse, who has worked on specifically Sonic and the universe in which he resides' design for a long time, including the Sonic the Hedgehog comic and Sonic Mania Adventures, was the lead artist on the redesign project.
While the eyes of the iconic character have stayed separated, the rest of the redesign fall more on the classic Sonic spectrum rather than the humanoid one we saw in the original reveal, and we have Tyson Hesse to thank for this fact.
Will you be catching a glimpse of Sonic in theatres next year?
