This New Sonic Model is Incredible.

[@kirbymania5533]

It's incredible how well Cell-shading works with Sonic

[@BlueBlur2003]

I would love it if SEGA has that art style for the next Sonic game

[@blueblizzardwolf6751]

Apperentlally SEGA is issuing four sonic game styles Open Zone, Adenvture, Boost and 2D so I really hope the adventure games will take on this apperence!

Yanno I would love to see a game like that they should make a game that takes inspiration from the Dreamcast era such as Jet Set Radio with the shading look at HI-FI Rush that looks dreamcasty in a way.

[@pjcrupe2749]

As a guy who draws this style from time to time, I love this mod and how much detail it is but the one criticism I can give is that he only has one face expression and it doesn’t change in the cutscenes. If they fix that and do the rest of the characters (including sage) in that art style we would have a pretty stylish mod on our hands!

[@alecmackintosh2734]

I imagine the current model doesn't actually have a fully modeled mouth, but a flat plane with a texture. Not very easy to remodel to animate depending on how mouth movement is done in frontiers.

[@chinkram]

The modders could do the easy fix, replace the cutscenes with hand drawn artwork, it would at least have more character than the original cutscenes

[@alecmackintosh2734]

@@chinkram "easy fix" hand drawn artwork isn't exactly an easy fix.

[@RedRag684]

Also make his legs slightly longer and we’ll be good.

[@UltimateHedgehogShadow]

@@alecmackintosh2734 it’s obviously not an easy fix but modders are crazy for bringing this so who’s to say it isn’t possible?

[@hotairbuffoon]

Someone NEEDS to make a Lego Sonic mod. Highly underappreciated version of the character, stuck in a universe that had a chance to be peak fiction. The least people could do is show some love to my blue blocky boi

[@ItzJJayy]

It's already a thing

[@TakeoKurosawa]

There is no way Sonic is running fast with Lego stubby legs

[@NitroExists]

Lego sonic SWEEEEP

[@moisteist8166]

Yeah they already did that and he is underrated

[@TruBluAnims]

*BLUE BLOCKY BOI*

[@Benjawin6671]

this could work really well for a remake of the Adventure games. It looks just like Uekawa's art but in 3D

[@jovani6044]

We NEED this art style in game one of these days 🤤

[@AvitheTiger]

If the mod also gave the terrain a painterly/anime aesthetic like what Genshin has, it would be absolutely perfect

[@goldenyoshi924]

Yeah, the outlines kinda reminded me of genshin

[@zeen9505]

Honestly the way the style of sonic clashes with the realistic world is so cool

[@Swaloo]

I’m a huge of uekawa’s art but I prefer his newer art compared to adventure era stuff also I wish the model had a spine length config for short spines other than that I love the model

[@Kuzamer]

In his latest art, the spines aren't really short like they are in Lost World - This game, though. They're about in the middle of short and long.

[@krxxc.kk6]

I like his sketchy style from the late 2000s/early 10s alot

[@sonicslaststraw3048]

Your a huge of uekawa's art?

[@crispy9542]

HOW DOES THIS LOOK EXACTLY LIKE THE UEKAWA ART'S SHADING like, ive seen this style attempted on a model many times before but never has it been done as accurately as this my only problem is that his mouth literally NEVER moves or changes, but other than that, it's pretty much perfect

[@dizner9518]

I like how when Sonic’s in ball form, it’s just simple, no glowing effect or anything. It looks good.

[@SauceyPriince]

Ooh my gosh. . I love the Sonic Shuffle vibes ❤

[@WhoTookIt]

1:55 How IGN gameplay footage was supposed to be

[@MarzOnline92]

After witnessing this, there has to be a Yuji Uekawa Shadow mod! That would be TOO FIRE🔥🔥🔥🔥! Someone tell the moders they gotta work on that!

[@Unkn0wn.m3]

Now imagine a sonic riders remake in Uekawa’s art style? 🤩

[@HuskyLemur]

This is the Greatest Sonic mod I’ve ever seen since I saw my favorite Movie Sonic mod video titled: The best movie sonic. I know that mod looked fittingly well animated in those Sonic 06 cutscenes, but to see a Cel Shaded Sonic mod to be designed just like how Yuji Uekawa used his coloring style for his modern sonic artwork back then, is absolutely phenomenal I tell ya' Sonic Fans what.

[@uifhfiudhrjd9fyepsbsusodb]

This is the future. This model should be what we must work on

[@MistyLose]

Hope they make facial animations for it someday cause that'd be cool

[@BlueBlur2003]

He looks amazing, I love this mod.

[@goldenyoshi924]

YES PLEASE, I'd love the next Sonic game to be cell shaded so badly. It would fit so nicely with Sonic's design.

[@rank0011]

This is proof that Sega needs to explore they’re creativity

[@Two_T]

I've been waiting for this... yes it is, it's just magnificent!

[@littlebigplaylbpgames9676]

It looks amazing, but to be honest this game would be awsome in every way, well done for the team behind this game(Sonic Team).

[@LeakInTheFaucet]

This cell shaded model is amazing but the mouth not moving is really triggering 😭Maybe borderlands 2 could help them improve the model since they mastered the cell shading art style

[@tsyumamatsuthehavenofguard32]

With all the black outlines gone, he kind of looks like he ripped right of the cg of Sonic shuffle

[@DakotaJonesMusic]

That little jolt forward that Sonic does while running at his base speed is honestly a really nice touch. Even though it doesn't necessarily mean he's going faster, it gives the illusion that he's picking up speed without needing to boost. The ball animation when he's jumping or doing the drop dash are also very well done. 👍

Best look of Sonic I swear, so stylish

[@iblakearthur]

The way his mouth switches from each side of the camera angle is wild

[@matheusgamer157]

Sonic cel-shadding is looking awesome !

[@orangehatmusic225]

3D Uekawa sonic sure does love smirk talking

[@amaniwhite9622]

Wow! This mod is pretty way past cool. It has The HD design of Sonic heroes! Nice Vivacity!

[@The_Dumb_1_]

Now we need someone remake the openzone with an artstyle that matches this mod.

[@KalumJohnson]

Yes I totally agree

[@AlbertBalbastreMorte]

Having a Sonic Adventure 4 with cellshaded graphics would be the most SEGA Dreamcast move ever. Can't believe no one saw this sooner.

[@Dairunt1]

This is perfect for a Sonic Adventure remake. It meshes with the official art perfectly.

[@Silverslate]

You got me excited thinking the mod also changed the OST with that intro.

[@xCoMiXx]

Literally what Sonic should look like in the games bro

[@moxty2795]

This Style Fit Perfectly With Sonic Adventure 3

[@JackkyDubs]

Wow esse mod é muito lindo! Adorei!

[@matheusgamer157]

Esse mod do cel-shading do sonic é usado também no dbfighter z também por cima do gohan.

[@onthedre]

If we get a Sonic Battle reimagined this better be how every character looks

[@leonardocouto3109]

Alright, to SEGA: I know you guys have been struggling with the franchise's art direction and us fans haven't made it any easier too, but hear me out... Make Sonic games a 3d Uekawa style, from now on. Both videogames and cinema have proven time and time again that an unique art direction goes long ways to entertain your audience, nowadays especially. Look at a movie like Puss in Boots: The Last Wish or a game like HiFi Rush and notice how well received they were, their unique art style being a big reason for it. They push the boundaries of what this form of media should look like by embracing and owning different styles that make them pop instantly. Now think of our boi Sonic. His whole THING is pushing forward; pushing the genesis's power to allow for fast-paced gameplay; pushing his own franchise from simple, cartoons tales to heavier, somewhat mature stories; pushing forward many gameplay styles that attract multiple people; pushing in cinema by making a truly good movie etc. Sonic is all about kicking things up a notch; it is in this franchise's nature; so, why not? Make a fully Uekawa styled game, make some assets 2D, let the animators use different techniques, like smear frames, more extreme squash and stretch and models with more complex rigging for detailed, good looking expressions, poses and movements. Hell, y'all can even play with the FRAME RATE of the game's cutscenes to make them more impactful! It'd be gorgeous...

[@primejackup2435]

THIS IS IT! The PERFECT art style for a Sonic game! Someone get the mod author and the animators for Hi-Fi Rush!

[@ruizy7536]

Man your intros are AWESOME

[@youtubeprofile9484]

This model look like the Sonic model that was in The Sonic Shuffle Opening Cutscene

[@kemnnardinofthering7254]

It doesn't matter who made this mod, 私はあなたを愛しています !!

[@aureliachiriac1269]

AWSOME Cool Mod Sonic Frontiers Blue Vivacity

[@DontKnowDontCare6.9]

With the right shaders and know-how (things post-Console Wars Sega lacks) a 2D look is possible. Nintendo did it (with Mr. Game and Watch) years ago, this guy did it, young passionate gamers studying game development can do it.

[@yorokoshi]

Sonic Frontiers if it got the Spider-Verse treatment

[@SonicChannelGaming]

uhmm no this isnt comic book style this is a cel-shaded look for sonic that emulates the way sonic looked like when he was drawn by uekawa

[@GilliganTF2]

This is why i love the celshade effect

[@gh_shelbo1221]

HOLY FU- KINGHTS FIGHT WAS SO IN SYNC WITH THE MUSIC

[@kingdomkeycrafter]

There needs to be a game with this style

[@Elijahmooreflakes]

If sonic had different expressions from his face it would be more cooler

[@BiggusWeeabus]

I hope we get a cel-shaded Sonic game in the near future. Would be even cooler if it's an Adventure 3

[@VibinSouls]

I think This is how Sonic X would look if he was in a game

[@PixelaGames2000]

They should remake the adventure games in this style Like wow he looks so good like this who knew he’d look so good in 3D I would absolutely love it if we got a full gram in this art style like why haven’t we gotten an actual sonic game in this art style before (And no I’m not counting the spin off games like shuffle or dark brotherhood I’m talking actual main line sonic games)

[@jjproductions3713]

Would be real funny if whenever the sonic model talks the jaw would be like sonic adventure

[@MyWeirdFox]

Petition for the rumored 2d sonic game to be in this style

[@TheFakeMakotoYuki]

This would be really cool in an animated sonic game

[@queekqueek3960]

Some should get the world to have celshaded graphics like that one mod from generations, then combine that and this mod, to get the ultimate sonic frontiers looking experience.

[@JasLamArr91]

Now we need a Sonic Shuffle remake or sequel, so they can use this design!

[@F0XYW4FFL3Z]

the new sonic rush remake looks great!!

[@mc.type_guy]

Now if somebody could replace the boost with the spindash this would be cookin

[@gadlites8841]

I absolutely adore the intro

[@K_The_creator]

[@RaziOrSomething]

Now just give the whole game cell shading

[@cafegomes5354]

Dá nervoso de ver o Sonic falando mas a boca dele não se mexe 😂😂😂😅😅

[@someoneyoudontknow3257]

Would love to see the Adventure games remade in the style of their artwork. Instead of the semi realistic environments just double down on the stylized asthetic. Probably run better too.

HES VERY COOL I LOVE ANY MODEL OF SONIC *and fanmade* i have sonic 1,2CD3 sonic 3d blast,sonic adventure,sonic adventure 2 sonid advance 1,2and 3,sonic rush,sonic rivals,sonic rush adventure,sonic unleashed sonic colors ds,sonic generations,sonic dash,sonic runners adventure and Onich at the olympic games 2020

I have no idea how you did this or how you made it so the mouth is always on the right side of the character facing the cam but hot diggity fuck this is top tier.

Ok cell shaded Sonic, Uwekawa Sonic was in SA1 and SA2, Rush

[@rickster008]

I like the look, it reminds me of sonic shuffle

[@hiimpubg360]

They should remake Sonic Adventure 1 & 2 this way

[@TheFainter94]

the only thing that i my self woud enjoy is that with this model there was an option to have sonic's animations at half of its frame rate

[@DobieMeltfire]

After playing Hi-Fi Rush, I think all mascot based games would benefit being Cel-shaded.

[@TaiZager]

This is amazing

[@andrewasfound9084]

[@StarWorld4336]

THIS MODE IS FIRE! OUCH 17:20 ^_^

[@fabtasticplanet1517]

This is cool and all, but way too jarring since it looks like Sonic Shuffle’s Sonic model! Now if this was Sonic Adventure’s 3D Sonic from all the promotional stuff, it would be way better and less distracting.

[@CoolestofDudes]

all I want is for sonic to have actual talking and facial expressions

[@Leostar-Regalius]

I'm still thrown of by how deep the voice is compared to every other sonic

[@screamoneo]
