Cool, but a wee bit big.

I always use big sprites

Hear hear

Ah good old vector art. Would be cool to see him with a body and some anims.

hi

I can't believe I didn't think of that :O

Nice idea, good sprites too. Though IMO... the quills look a tad long.

It looks like that in Sonic Heroes

I'ma have to try this in Photoshop one of these days.

I dunno about Photoshop, but it was really easy in Paintshop Pro

I think spriting should stay hand-drawn.

Nice Sonic head, but I doubt vector will make other sprite methods obsolete.

We already have 3D rendered sprites :E
Anyway, I prefer hand drawn, precision pixel by pixel lovingly placed. I don't think any one method will destroy all others. Well, I damn well hope not :x

Not necessarily. As Citrusponge said, there are pre-rendered 3D sprites, which can look excellent when put in a game. My Animation lecturer and his team are doing a game where the sprites are pre-rendered cel-shaded sprites and they look excellent.

Also, for a project at college I did some sprites in Illustrator. Generally I do my sprites hand drawn, but i'm not going to do that if another method will make things easier or better.
