Sonic Underground Redesign #2: ManicEyyyy it’s the boy!Not gonna lie; I really love how Manic
Sonic Underground Redesign #2: ManicEyyyy it’s the boy!Not gonna lie; I really love how Manic looks in the original cartoon, so his palette and clothes remain largely untouched. All I was gonna do was alter his quills. That’s it. Then my brain gave me other ideas.So anyway!–Quills: The only thing I wasn’t big on with Manic’s design was his quills. Bless the animators who had to draw them and keep him on model, and BLESS EVERY PERSON who has made fan art that keeps his grassy hair. You are all amazing. *presses F*I simplified his quills by making them more of a mohawk. That way, he still looks like a punk, his silhouette still contrasts from Sonic’s, and it’ll be simpler to draw multiple times. I gave him extra cowlick strands as a nod to his old grass hair. Goggles: I decided to swap out Manic’s hoverboard for extreme gear since I wanted to tie the world building in with what exists in the games. Because of this, I wanted his aesthetic to lean a little closer to the Sonic Riders character designs. Ergo, I gave him goggles.Gloves: I was gonna leave his gloves alone, but I decided to experiment with fingerless gloves last minute. They make Manic’s design look a little more his own if that makes any sense. Medallion: Despite continuously saying that I probably won’t be bringing in the magic instruments, Manic looked out of place without his medallion, so I kept it in. It’s probably not magical in any way though. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯ -- source link
