#TYSON HESSE SONIC CHARACTERS MOVIE#

I think both artists have their place in this industry, and have (to an extent) FOUND their place in this industry, but my personal pick would be Tyson. Uekawa is a very talented artist but so much of his work is this kind of stuff: You can practically see and hear his artwork in motion just by looking at a comic book page, which I think is the ultimate praise one can give an artist doing this kind of artwork. The end result is that Tyson’s work just has so much more life to it. Tyson, on the other hand, will squash and stretch a little bit, get a little loose when necessary to push a funny pose or amp up the energy of a drawing. Everything is a specific length and shape that never changes. Look at what has happened since Tyson Hesse made these He's gone on to help spearhead the creative direction of Sonic When MFZ went away it was important to me to find all of these old sprites that helped form the community and give them a new home. It’s kind of like looking at a 3D model, where everything has this kind of realism to it. He can draw characters in cute situations all day but they still have that rigid element to them.

It’s all down to exaggeration – Uekawa stays rigidly on model. Like this cute image of Blaze the Cat after she burned… uh… something in a skillet? What exactly was she cooking?īut the thing is? Tyson still has him beat on sheer expressiveness. The intro illustrates the slightly crazy premise of Sonic's new adventure - with the blue blur and his friends being pulled into a nightmarish dreamspace operated by Dr. He’s gotten better at that his recent Sonic Channel Wallpapers have started depicting characters in situations rather than just standing around with their arms in the air. It features an incredible animated intro directed by Tyson Hesse and produced by Powerhouse Animation, with music composed by Tee Lopes. I guess it’s also just sort of pinup syndrome, where he mainly just draws characters posing and not really doing anything. During the New York Comic Con 2017 event, more information regarding IDW's Sonic comic was revealed on promotional flyers (drawn by Tyson Hesse, known for his work on the Archie Sonic comics and Sonic Mania), where it was revealed that the comic will contain characters old and new, and feature brand new stories. I mean, they’re fine, I guess, and I’m not saying he’s a bad artist, but I do find his character work a little flat.

'Working with Jeff and the modelers, riggers, texture/fur artists and animators in LA, London, and Vancouver was a thrill I'll never forget.With all due respect to Yuji Uekawa, he doesn’t seem to do character expressions very well.

'Honored to have been brought in to lead the design on the new Movie Sonic,' he wrote.

Hesse confirmed this after the trailer's release on Twitter. Tyson Hesse, animation director for Sonic Mania's cutscenes and director of the Sonic Mania Adventures animated series, is the one responsible for the redesign. It turns out, all Sega and Paramount had to do was hire someone who actually worked on Sonic animation in the past to get the job done. So far, the reception has largely been positive. The new Sonic the Hedgehog movie trailer may not be funny or interesting, but it did have one thing going for it: the updated design of Sonic himself.Īfter the original version was publicly shamed for weeks on end, Sega and Paramount took a step back, delayed the movie and returned to give us a look at the big change the character design had undergone. The reason why the redesigned Sonic in the upcoming Sonic the Hedgehog movie looks better is actually very easy to explain.
