Sonic Boom - Freedom Fighter concepts

Description

So....I really like the look of this upcoming Sonic Boom. Knuckles looks ridiculous, almost to the level of Bulk Bicep parody of body-builders, but other than that admittedly large issue, I really, really like the designs. Somehow, the artists managed to keep all the defining features of the character's outfits, yet remake them in an entirely new way with minimal additional clothes, except for Tails, and I love what they came up with. Amy's new outfit in particular I love - still a short, red, sleeveless dress with white details, still white gloves with bracelets, still red and white boots, same quills, but an entirely new (and I'd say much improved) look.

So I wanted to see if I could do something similar with the Freedom Fighters. The Sonic Boom art seems to be slightly more subdued in colors than the current art, which I think goes well with a sort of SatAM-Archie-hybrid color scheme. Rotor's gloves are a reference to his red shoes/belt in SatAM. Bunnie's cyborg parts are a design that I've been wanting to try out for years but never found an opportunity until now. I also wanted to try giving them different heights since the Sonic Boom characters seem to be, but Rotor's not as tall as I wanted since I didn't leave enough space at the top of the page for him >_< Just pretend he's closer in height to Knux. Sally should be just about Sonic's height, although measurement-wise, it's a bit off.

I don't feel I entirely captured the whole minimal-additions feel, and I moved some colors around (like the gold from Antoine's epaulettes now on his shoes), which doesn't seem to be what the Sonic Boom artists did, and I see some mistakes, like forgetting to color the inside of Bunnie's ear. I also may change some things if I ever draw them like this again (for example, still not sure I should have given Sally gloves or that they should have been blue) but for a fast, one-day attempt at a redesign, I'm pretty happy with it.

Now lets just see if the show and game end up not too AoStH-like for me....

well they don't look that different, but I like these ideas.
