Sonic's design in STC evolved from a look initially closer to the classic Japanese game art to a more distinctive, sharper, and often more aggressive British interpretation. Early issues by artists like Richard Elson established many of these traits, while later artists maintained and sometimes further exaggerated them. A modeler should research the specific issues or artist's style they prefer (e.g., Elson's dynamic initial run, Nigel Kitching's detailed work) and stick to that era for consistency, as proportions and detailing could vary. Capturing a specific "iconic" period often yields the most recognizable results.
