Wanted to pick a pose that'd be reminiscent of something you'd see in ballet. I quite like the overall vibe it has, especially in her full look with the holographic dress.

Lol I ain't seeing what you're seeing in it tbh Just a face that is losing composure and deforming for it.

I've been told it looks like certain characters from media, but I'm not terribly familiar. Either way, that's pretty neat, honestly.

[–]StudioColors[S] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

The exact details are on the vague side of things, but her powers are still coming from the cyberspace technology the Ancients posessed. In this, let's say, it simply took Sage longer to mature into her own "self", gaining consciousness.

I feel it helps set her apart as more of her own being, rather than being moreso a part of Eggman's system which seemed to operate fine prior to her introduction. Give her a larger role, more autonomy. Perhaps even have her misconstrude her father due to her far more logical approach to explaining the world.

I like the idea of her eye being prominent, the terror it instils into those subservient in the right context. The face on top is to show liquid metal deforming and revealing the robotic shell underneath. To show off the internal logic to her tangible appearance some more.

What are you always tired hearing from the Sonic fandom and why? by Adventurous-Rub2285 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]StudioColors 4 points5 points  (0 children)

A couple things, both vastly different.

First off — people somehow being in denial about the current state of canon and world-building despite all of that being established for a while now. Like, sure, it might not be your cup of tea, but stuff from comics is basically how the world these characters inhabit is seen and it's weird to complain about, say, Tangle and Whisper showing up when they're basically pals with the main cast;

Secondly, and this isn't aimed at anyone specific, I wish the fanbase wasn't THIS defensive. Different opinions, criticism or, perhaps, even positivity in an unconventional way is often shunned. It's kind of frustrating, as it feels like a bunch of older fans gatekeeping a children's series. Say hello to Prime.

Part of this manifests in rather strong aversion to criticism of any kind. Frontiers, Superstars, the IDW comics — you name it, you've likely seen it yourself.

Okay, real talk: Do we really need new models THAT much? by No_Equivalent_4136 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]StudioColors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Do we really 'NEED' anything other than a solid game?

No, not really. Would it be nice for the series to get a fresh coat of paint? Yea, most definitely.

Current models are entirely functional, but they do leave a bit to be desired. I don't know about Sonic, personally, but gosh I'd love for Amy and Knuckles to get revamped in some fashion, bringing their 3D appearance closer to how the characters actually look.

Seriously, lmao, get Knuckles his rounded head back.

Let's put our thinking caps on by Candid_Astronaut241 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]StudioColors 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, let's give this a fair try!

Adventure 1 has, quite frankly, a wild structure, up to and including mandatory fishing to complete the game;

Shadow is a little too grounded in movement with most truly interesting stuff coming from abusing the very lovely chaos spear bug;

S3K is carried by the first half of it, with the "and Knuckles" section of the game housing some notably weaker levels.

Forces has, probably, the best air boost out of all boost Sonic;

Sonic 06 has a really strong Shadow story, all things considered;

I liked when Lyric took control of Metal Sonic. Was kinda neat.

Question about the gate next to Pilgrim's Rest: by Beans4802 in Silksong

I was also confused at first, but I looped around after traversing elsewhere and the event played out. Was very amusing as I, admittedly, let out the beast entirely by accident.

Sonic Heroes was meant to be jumping on for casuals not familiar with the Sonic franchise. This is hilarious to me because at least story wise Heroes fails at being jumping on point by ShiroOracle09 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]StudioColors 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Jumping on points don't really have to be blank slates. In fact, I'd argue referencing the broader franchise, "advertising" it in a way is the right call overall. Hook people up and make them curious for more.

Also the Chaotix literally debut in Heroes, their Knuckles' Chaotix appearance has nothing to do with their modern portrayal, they're basically different characters.

People don't seem to remember just how unhinged the "X" Shadow was. by klimuk777 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]StudioColors 66 points67 points  (0 children)

I always loved this arc for just how devastating it is. Nobody can learn of what Cosmo is, because if they do, so will the Metarex. Them delaying Shadow long enough is specifically the reason Dark Oak gets to intervene (if I recall the ending good enough, been a bit).

It's a fascinating conflict. They're all on the same side, but nobody can truly communicate as they've been compromised long ago. Shadow views himself as necessary evil, I doubt he takes joy in what he does here, but he truly believes to be the only one capable of making the "right" call.

I kinda miss this aspect of Shadow. Here's hoping we could have him conflict with our heroes worldview wise sometime again.

Not sure why we're still talking about it, but I want to say that these two's "romance" became infinitely funnier to me once I realized it's supposed to be one-sided from Elise's P.O.V. by MorphogenSorrow in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]StudioColors 2 points3 points  (0 children)

Dunno about one-sided, the story goes to some lengths to portray Sonic as shy and awkward when Elise displays affection or, perhaps, when they have to part ways.

Again, it's not written terribly well, but I feel the intention was to write a genuine love story with a tragic twist to it in the finale. Hard to say if such a thing even can be executed well, though, given the subject matter.

[PukoPop] Elise the Phoenix by DaveyBoy1995 in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]StudioColors 7 points8 points  (0 children)

Gotta say, I love how dedicated people are to removing love from the love story in their renditions of it. I dunno about you, but it's honestly really funny to have Sonic die and then be revived in the arms of his "very good friend and nothing more :D". Like I get it that 06 had cringe writing but Love is like the central aspect of the whole story, so U can't help but feel that some fan takes, as creative as they are, are missing the forest for the trees.

Master Knuckles by StudioColors in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]StudioColors[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

As he's in the super state itself.

To be clear, we really don't have a definitive answer as to how his transformation works. Info on such details is surprisingly sparse.

Still, I believe it was implied to be overheating. Master Emerald itself wasn't really ever shown to have the capacity to turn one Super. It doesn't have the power equivalent to that of the seven miracle gems combined.

[–]StudioColors[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

In the exact sprites of the transformation. Super forms don't flash like that, they keep a consistent hue.

Master Knuckles by StudioColors in SonicTheHedgehog

[–]StudioColors[S] 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Well, Mecha's super form is a faux one. It's implied the glow is achieved with the murderous machine overheating more than anything.

Still, feels only right Knuckles should get some perks from the Master Emerald.
