Recently, the
Sonic the Hedgehog movie arrived in theatres. For a while, fans of the franchise will have been wondering what the likes of Tails and Knuckles would look like in the realistic style of the movie. Well, professional art director Raf Grassetti has it covered.
Grassetti has been making realistic redesigns of popular and iconic video game character for about a year at this point. They're mostly always tied to Nintendo and
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. In this case, the art director was inspired by the
Sonic the Hedgehog movie.
He shared realistic designs for the blue speedster but also Tails and Knuckles. Since his take on
Sonic the Hedgehog is so similar to that of the live-action movie itself; perhaps these realistic looks for Tails and Knuckles will be along the same lines as the way the characters will look in a future
Sonic the Hedgehog movie.
Sonic the Hedgehog movie director Jeff Fowler did tease such a thing just a couple of days ago —
more on that here. Check out the incredible artwork below (via
Gamefragger):
Sonic the Hedgehog is a live-action adventure comedy based on the global blockbuster videogame franchise from Sega that centers on the infamously brash bright blue hedgehog. The film follows the (mis)adventures of Sonic as he navigates the complexities of life on Earth with his newfound – human – best friend Tom Wachowski (James Marsden). Sonic and Tom join forces to try and stop the villainous Dr. Robotnik (Jim Carrey) from capturing Sonic and using his immense powers for world domination. The film also stars Tika Sumpter and Ben Schwartz as the voice of Sonic.
Sonic the Hedgehog is in theatres now!
