Sonic the Rabbit!? Original Character Concept Artwork Unearthed

Posted By: Danny the Badass Panda

Sonic the Rabbit? WTF?!?!?!

Probably ONE of the original ideas, along with other characters like that wolf.

Either way, it does indeed look like Sonic half-spawned out of this one - blue, the connected eyes, skinny legs and arms. o_O;

But for some reason, I get the strong feeling that I've seen this before.. Weird.

I don't think you've seen if before, but I know what you mean. He takes on a classic cartoon character look too, look at his eyes and part of his shape. Now check out a old 1940's Mickey Mouse, similar old cartoon looks. Old school Eat my shorts Felix The Cat *Coughs*

-SH

It does look something outta the '40s, doesn't it?

It's hard to tell whether this design was from the US or Japanese SEGA department... It would be interesting to see what special abilities (other than the designated speed) Sonic the Rabbit would have had.

Ahh, maybe I am thinking Felix.

Interesting "missing link" that Solly has found then.

He seems gray and boring.

I say it frickin' sucks  Besides, if they want to make a Mickey Mouse they should sue Disney. Oh well, I like most of the Looney Tunes

It reminds me of the old Mickey Mouse cartoons!

Sonic the Rabbit faces the diabolical butterfly.

Now we have Cream & Cheese to take on that look, she's a rabbit with the Chao who has the bow-tie.

OMG, that so doesn't suit the cool image that sonic should have. Thank god they decided to change the look.

I don't see whats so bad about it  It looks like it's taken from 'Astro Boy' or 'Metropolis'

Yes... well.... of course! I mean... yeah..... meh, too Mickey Mouse-ish for me, but I think the mechanics of it would make a sweet game (maybe had they gave the ear throwing things ability to Cream...)

Posted By: JAKE IS TEH COOLINESS!!1!

Looks a bit like Felix, but Felix is a lot cuter than rabbit man here. =P
