Crazy how these images are only 1 year apart!
Classic - 1998.
Modern - 1999.
Both from a Ski magazine.
Some may now find it odd that Sonic's redesign was rather polarising. Many even hate it today.
But when you consider how drastic a change it was, it makes a little more sense.

Spyro was redesigned to be cuter on Japan's box art.
But today I learnt about the other Japan redesign for Spyro Orange on the GBA.
It's like going from one extreme to the other.

Things that freak me out:
Mega Man's/Rock's weird dog noses.
This is a conscious design choice all the way up until Mega Man 11.
Proto Man and Bass also have dog noses.
Not sure why they have dog noses. But it's odd.

Roll has a normal nose.
I guess she's was the freak all along.

East and West.
Mario Edition!
Gonna try Mega Man next. Trying to replicate these different styles is fun.

Gonna reply with the coloured version here as well, since a surprising amount of people seemed to like this. Thanks!
Gonna try add some other characters later. Suggestions welcome.

East and West.
Now in colour!
Still might add some other characters later on.
Trying characters that never appeared in a particular style might be fun!

While editing the next episode I discovered that Dry Bones has little to no 2D classic Mario art work! The only 2 are terrible quality.
But I need him for the episode so I replicated the official style as best I could. Also made some other Mario art like this for the episode too!

Some of the art created for this episode!
The Tom and Jerry parody sorta just happened... I almost cut it!
The Wind Waker inspired intro was the reason behind the latest delay. It kept being demonetised by Youtube every time I tested uploading.

I like japanese Sonic too! But they're portrayed very differently.
Japan is cool without trying and doesn't really care.
West is cool without trying but god damn does he want you to know it.
Japan: Yo! 3rd game is out.
West: "THIRD GAME IS HERE! YOU COOL ENOUGH TO PLAY IT PUNK?!

I actually have a bit of a soft spot for early western Sonic art
Yeah he's a little shiny and bent. He also seems to have single expression...
But I'd argue a lot of the cool, no nonsense attitude, that people associated with 90s Sonic, is due to this artwork.
