Sonic Heroes

So I'm a Sonic whore these days, no doubt about it. So I thought I'd... rather liberally... reinterpret the major characters in the style of the classic Warcraft adventuring trio -- Strength, Agility and Intelligence.

UV-mapping is frequently a bit squidged, but no worse than anything Blizzard have ever done, so sue me.

Textures are shoddy re-colours, so double-sue me. They're all on the GolemStatue skin.

Knuckles, then, is the strength. He's big, he's bad, and instead of fisting everything he's got a giant hammer. Yes, he has no knuckles either, but the best punch animations are on the golem models and they aren't quite good for what I'm aiming at.

Sonic is a bit incongruous, but bear with me. He landed agility (obviously), and that means ranged unit in my party. Since I'm not too fond of the crouched nature of the archer, he ended up the footman-based BanditSpearThrower, which will also fit perfectly with everything I use these days. I didn't feel that anything Blademaster- or Demon Hunter-based would really do him justice, and besides, he is a ranged attacker -- he... just throws... himself...

Tails is the intelligence character (yes, yes, he may get captured all the time, but he's not stupid; just not so good at thinking on the spot. I mean, give him the duration of Wing Fortress Zone and he can fix up the Tornado and add a rocket booster. Not to mention he managed to hack a small transmitter into breaking Hyper Metal Sonic...). I've not decided what sort of weapon to give him just yet, but he's on the Watcher so it'll either be a melee blade or some medium-range throwing device. I had to go a bit high-concept with his helmet, since I was damned if I was going to take a normal helm and shove on some ears; I think it turned out quite well.

And then I did Amy for shits and giggles.

Yeah... it is a rather liberal interpretation.

I like the Amy-one; that could probably be useful somewhere (i.e. a female Knight Templar or something...) Seems generic enough to be useful to someone.

Only objection I have is the fact that tails has no tails. Otherwise it's awesomesauceeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.

I totally called this in chat one day, Rao, why did you lie to me? :'(

Tails can't have tails because there's no armour ornamentation I know of that would look even remotely proper. Besides, they'd all have backpacks where I intend to put them.

I tell no lies, I merely obscure the truth.

Just give him some hanging clothes in the back.
No reason why you can't sell the theme a bit more.

But I hate robes. Though the Watcher does have an arse-cloak, so I suppose I can give it a try.

watcher's arse-cloak flys around like no tomorrow, might look a bit wtf.

Well, Tails' tails fly around like no tomorrow, so it's probably quite appropriate. :p

They look pretty nice rdz, i dun like how tails turned out though.. and not because of the not having any tails thing.. just doesn't look like anything that would represent intelligence imo >.<
