It's crazy how existential the Kirby franchise is now, Forgotten Land was about humanity killing itself in the pursuit of progress, and now it seems Kirby and the Land Beyond is going to have a Truman show style plot
CryzenX dragging and dropping Brawl models into Unreal Engine 4 did UNIMAGINABLE damage to the perception of games that straddle the line between realistic and cartoony
Happy 35th anniversary, Sonic!
After I finish a few pieces I've slacked on, I'll tackle the billions of unfinished Sonic canvases I've piled up over the years lol
Most of this just boils down to preference at the end of the day, it feels like a longwinded way of saying "I prefer how Sonic looked when I was younger", all the post-hoc justifications afterwards are silly imo
The Sonic model "debate" is so braindead
99% of the time its ppl who dont get the difference between in-game, promo, and animation models throwing around the same 4 screencaps of the in-game Sonic model at awkward angles & haphazardly using random art theoryspeak to sound smart.
🚨 Rumor Alert!
According to a leaker who shared footage of the new Jet Set Radio, SEGA is preparing a number of new Sonic the Hedgehog announcements, as well as a brand new model, which is being described as "a great improvement."

It feels like that era ended up with people crafting their own versions of a Sonic that never was, and has never existed in any singular form of media, yet they're confused when the actual Sonic doesn't resemble the Sonic they've built in their heads.
@TBSF_YT That's the most infuriating part of all the Sonic model discourse, people attribute issues with lighting/textures/posing to the raw model geometry.
No one gets that 3D rendering/animation is a package deal where a lot of pieces go together to making a good looking final image.
