Vanilla the Rabbit

Last month, I gave to Kojichan this sketch of Vanilla by Uekawa (I bought it from Solly last year):

And asked if she could color it like she did with the Tikal picture...and she did!

All credits goes to Kojichan.

I approve.

I wonder if she wears that makeup by choice or if she's being tested on by a cosmetics company.

funny she doesn't look like the alchoholic i remeember her as. in fact she looks very orginized, loke she actualy might take care of cream. Bringing in to question cream's father, or lack there of. i also like how vanilla looks slightly Victorianish.

Pretty good job, but I've never been a big fan of that colouring style.

The first sonic character ever to have a neck!

I'd post a screencap from the Sonic CD opening where Sonic looks up at the chained little planet and he has an obvious neck, but I'm too lazy.

This also ignores the fact that plenty of characters in SatAM had a neck, o but theyre not really sonic chars lolz

Also, their swelled heads should be snapping on their tiny necks.

I still commend the character designers for making a decent female form out of Sonic's paltry 2 1/4 heads height. Uekawa's designs are a full head taller, just over 3 heads, thus much kinder to the girls.

I still commend the character designers for giving Sonic four fingers and a beer belly.

I thought he had five fingers in the SatAM version, and four on the weekday, snydicated version? Inconsistent animators.

chriscaffee · Post by **chriscaffee** » Fri Jan 20, 2006 10:47 am

He never had five fingers in SatAM.

The beer belly is one of the many reasons I prefer the Adventure/Advance art style, which was tragically ruined by Sonic X.

I commend the artists for making Sonic blink his pupils rather than his eyes.

No, you are thinking of Sonic Underground. He had five fingers there.

Well, they did it in the OVA too...

Is it really so hard for people to accept the peach eyelids?

Post by **Crazy Penguin** » Sat Jan 21, 2006 4:22 pm

I'm still having trouble getting used to the blue eyelids in the newer games.

Post by **Esrever** » Sat Jan 21, 2006 9:58 pm

I don't really like the eyelids at all. I prefer it when Sonic's eye expressions are done by moving his entire brow up and down.

Kishi · Post by **Kishi** » Sun Jan 22, 2006 12:49 am

Wouldn't that look weird if he closed his eyes?

Light Speed · Post by **Light Speed** » Sun Jan 22, 2006 2:21 am

That's the point though, he doesn't need to close his eyes.

Dash · Post by **Dash** » Sun Jan 22, 2006 4:40 am

Strange thing I've noticed: Up until Advance Sonic never blinked during gameplay(or waiting animations).

OH SHIT! THAT'S THE PROBLEM WITH THE NEW GAMES IT'S SO OBVIOUS NOW!

Edit: No....wait. Damn, I know that I'm wrong but I can't think of the particular place I saw him blink. Someone please post it so I can get it off my mind.

Post by **Crazy Penguin** » Sun Jan 22, 2006 5:16 am

Not sure about during gameplay, but there is this.

Wow. How many elbows does this guy have, anyway?

Hafta say I prefer the full eyelids over the blinky pupils or the rubber forehead. Also, I prefer fleshy-coloured eyelids over blue. It all just makes more sense to me.
