Posted on May 15, 2008, Jonathan 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.
