I don't care, I couldn't wait, I had to show this.
[edit: full version of pic]
First of all, Sonic is turning super in this pic. With that in mind there are three things about this pic I would like to draw attention to. You might notice these on your own:
1. Sonic is turning super with only one chaos emerald. Outlandish, but elegant. It introduces a whole new approach to super Sonic as a character and how it would work in gameplay. (primary example being - Super Sonic is accessible from the start of the game)
2. Sonic is not solemn or super serious or god-like or like a different person while transforming into Super Sonic. He's still Sonic. And he's not turning super because the world or his friends' lives depends on it in any explicit sense. But because it kicks ass.
3. classic 'segasonic'-like stars are eminating from him during his transformation, much like the stars in Sonic CD intro. I'm mixing newschool Sonic with oldschool pizazz. Tell me if it's cool or not.
Thoughts?
