Posting one Sonic fanart I made every day until I'm out of them ( Day 9)

Yeah it is very good and these eyes, despite drifting away from the canonical design have an appeal of their own. With the uni-eye + thick eyebrow combo, it seems to me that the expressiveness of Sonic's eyes are actually quite limited.

It's particularly obvious when he has to close or even frown his eyes : it just looks weird. Detached eyes, I think, could allow a different range of emotions to look good.

And to give an example : these were the intended pannels from an infamous page of a certain issue of Archie comics. The one where he closes his eyes just looks off. It's no wonder Sonic's not even allowed to express intense emotions : it looks like shit. (Well, actually there are many reasons that I am not akay with but I can't but admit this one)
