Realistic-Looking Sonic the Hedgehog to Give You Nightmares

You might remember an image that showed up awhile back depicting how Bowser might look if he were real. Well, that same guy decided to give the same treatment to another beloved video game character with this realistic picture of Sonic the Hedgehog. The artist did however make a few changes to the overall design of the character in order to get a look that was more close to a an actual hedgehog:
In the end I decided to give him a color-pattern that resembles a West European Hedgehog but facial proportions that stick to Sonic himself. His white gloves and the red shoes he kept as another link to the original, but the shoes underwent a little redesign. In addition his body looks like that of a runner, making it more believable that he can run at such high speeds.
He also made a pixelized version to see what this new Sonic might look like in the original game. All in all, this is still something that would terrify me if it came sprinting at me. Now I know how Sonic’s enemies feel.

OMG! That is horrible!
I’m scared
Go Marlins!!!!
His shoes look like they are Converse. He never had pants, but this image damands that he cover his shame for fear that it becomes exposed.
Nice effort. But, nightmare-inducing? Sorry but no.
That’s not very realistic looking. I was hoping something like realistic-looking Mario - that was a good one. Actually - this looks like crap.
I think it’s fine. It’s almost as good as Megan Fox naked:

To be honest. That’s really really creepy-looking.
Reminds me of Awesome Possum.

Haha! I pity all the kids who draw Sonic recolours right now. They’re probably totally looking at “their own characters” differently… and not liking it!
Rock on!!
I think this illustrator needs to look up the word “realistic”
That’s freaking wicked!:)
ROFL @ the people saying it needs to look more realistic or that it isnt…its a hedgehog wearing shoe’s and cloves that runs faster than any other land based creature to begin with (just over mach 1 or 761.2mph quoted from wiki) i think this is as “realistic” as your going to get if you can even apply the term to a fictional character.
