I really wanted to learn more about character design. The idea of re-imagining the Sonic cast intrigued me because it seemed to present a lot of fun and interesting challenges.
Not only did I find that the franchise had a lot of cool, weird concepts to work with, like “ purple kitty pyro queen” or “evil shape shifter”, but there was the issue of creating a sense balance and diversity between the characters as a whole.

For reasons unknown to my self I kept adding to the project. Earlier drawings were more zany, illustrative and experimental and later versions were softer and three dimensional.

Metal Sonic

I’d imagine it keeps up with Sonic by spin dashing while tearing up the environment as it rolls. I forfeited aerodynamic design and speed for a hulking strength and heightened senses. It is near impossible to leave its detection. One of those baddies you know you can keep away from for now, but they will find and get you eventually.

It's a little big for my tastes, but I see exactly what you did with metal sonic. It looks positively demonic. It doesn't look as much like a doppelganger of sonic, but more of a foil. Sonic is small and nimble, but this metal sonic looks like a jet propelled garbage truck. A whole lot of raw, destructive power; but not much to do when you have to push that power in a right angle. Very awesome design.
