Realistic-Looking Sonic the Hedgehog to Give You Nightmares

news.filefront.com — 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.

  • blackhole82, on 05/17/2008, -14/+26Maybe just a little too muscular
    • RajDhillon, on 05/17/2008, -4/+24***** that, Sonic can never be "too" muscular.
      He runs like 10,000 miles a level, you expect him not to be muscular?
    • consoneo, on 05/17/2008, -5/+4I just wanna know why Sonic is a spiked fur black guy
      • iofthestorm, on 05/17/2008, -0/+15Maybe because that's what hedgehogs really look like?
    • Planets, on 05/17/2008, -0/+6"In addition his body looks like that of a runner, making it more believable that he can run at such high speeds."
    • fatb0y42, on 05/17/2008, -0/+4cough cough steroids
    • jamdogg, on 05/17/2008, -0/+1So was Ben Johnson - he was fast too.
  • Varz, on 05/17/2008, -10/+107But Sonic is blue.
    • malguitar, on 05/17/2008, -9/+4yes but when was the last time you seen a blue hedgehog
      • swifty12, on 05/17/2008, -0/+52yes but when was the last time you saw a hedgehog with opposable thumbs wearing shoes
        • malguitar, on 05/17/2008, -1/+17when I played sonic the hedgehog... wait..my head hurts.
        • burketo, on 05/17/2008, -2/+7***** THING SUCKS!
      • Brainmodder, on 05/17/2008, -0/+5Yesterday. The local genetic engineering lab is selling some as pets.
    • doshindude, on 05/17/2008, -6/+25real hedgehogs aren't.
    • Garciat, on 05/17/2008, -0/+20Well, if the artist was so into realism, why did he draw gloves on him? So... a hedgehog can wear gloves but can't be blue?
      • antonio97b, on 05/17/2008, -1/+8Checkmate.
      • NoMercy, on 05/17/2008, -1/+4thats what i was thinking too...there can be dinosaurs (bowser) but no blue hedgehogs
  • S0ya, on 05/17/2008, -8/+193If it was a realistic picture of Sonic he would be blue. However, as hedgehogs are not blue in real life this picture presents quite a paradox.
  • kalel90, on 05/17/2008, -1/+47I saw a blue hedgehog just yesterday.
    • praisethelard, on 06/06/2008, -1/+37How much was the LSD?
    • alperea, on 05/17/2008, -0/+10Did you try to give it the Heimlich maneuver?
    • JakeyG14, on 05/17/2008, -0/+5Did you cheer it up?
    • wutimatang, on 05/18/2008, -0/+1Did you give it a pair of white gloves and some red sneakers, and force it to collect gold rings?
  • EmitStop, on 05/17/2008, -4/+78It looks way too cartoony.
  • AlphaO, on 05/17/2008, -12/+289So that's why Sonic runs so fast, he's black!
    • BlueSkyfish, on 05/17/2008, -1/+146And why he can't swim

      /going to hell
      • Dokument, on 05/17/2008, -1/+23save me a good spot.
        • Shadowfox99, on 05/17/2008, -0/+3there's a shortage of chairs....
      • IanPR, on 05/17/2008, -0/+6*looks at diggs/buries*
        We have a black person in the crowd!
    • protodon, on 05/17/2008, -2/+5and why he sounds just like Jaleel White.
    • djloekee27, on 05/17/2008, -5/+53lol, i'm black and i digg Alpha0 and BlueSkyFish's comments...
      • Trax91, on 05/17/2008, -0/+14I'm yellow and I digg everything.
      • FuZ3, on 05/17/2008, -2/+36Well Obviously if your black and on digg you must have a sense of humor.
    • Akaji, on 05/17/2008, -7/+3And why he gets all the women. :(
    • CynicSight, on 05/17/2008, -0/+19Sonic is a Kenyan? I knew it.
    • Psi57, on 05/17/2008, -8/+1And he just robbed a 7-11 at gunpoint! "Chompa donka!"
    • xlneoMAXlx, on 05/17/2008, -2/+2and he's a-

      oh wait
    • Tophillious, on 05/17/2008, -2/+8remember kids, racism is only funny when it's on the interwebz
      • isaactwito, on 05/17/2008, -0/+3No, racism is funny when it's a joke. You can make fun of anyone for any reason, but when it comes to race OH NO! But seriously, if people stop being douches and rednecks then we might not have real racism and people wouldn't freak out if you make a racist joke. Dugg, btw.
    • Minivolt, on 05/17/2008, -4/+1well, it's not really a racist comment, more like an observation. Black people do tend to run faster.
      I don't know about all finalists of the olympic games, but gold medalists in sprinting are dominantly black.
      • Psi57, on 05/17/2008, -1/+1You racisty racist! Stop seeing things in reality! Next you'll be telling me that America owes Israel nothing!
    • mllawso, on 05/17/2008, -0/+2ENERGY LEGS!
  • z0zin, on 05/17/2008, -4/+8Look at those buns and quads, he should make a workout routine...
    • ConceptualTrap, on 05/17/2008, -1/+5Sweating to the Oldies with Sonic the Hedgehog

      All these great discs for the low low price of just 15 gold rings a month for six months!

      That's four, yes!, FOUR dvds for the insane low price of just 90 gold rings! Don't pass this UP! Call NOW!!
      • mman426, on 05/17/2008, -2/+0hilarious but you it could have only been better if you had made the price add up to 100 gold rings, cause then you would know you had enough rings when that you hear the music
  • ExRe, on 05/17/2008, -10/+14Nightmares? This wouldn't give kittens nightmares. Lame.
  • alamala, on 05/17/2008, -2/+6Direct Link: http://essenmitsosse.de/sonic-the-real-hedgehog/
  • kpaphysicist, on 05/17/2008, -1/+10Nobody on that much 'roids could run that fast. Plus, he ate chili dogs so he must have had a gut at least.
    • Brainmodder, on 05/17/2008, -0/+2Dugg, for adding physical accuracy to the conversation.

      BTW, you also need to take into account the air drag caused by all those spines, a hedgehog moving at speeds near that of sound would not last long.
  • bicyclethief, on 05/17/2008, -3/+37Oh my. Those legs look like they could produce a lot of...thrust.
  • UknowWho97, on 05/17/2008, -0/+4Look at those thighs and biceps, I hope we don't randomly find out that he's doing anabolic steroids...

    That would be like Santa dying
  • CDoug03, on 05/17/2008, -4/+40Blue or it's not real
  • captoftheworld, on 05/17/2008, -2/+77If this gives you nightmares, you're on the wrong internet.
    • Xcel, on 05/17/2008, -0/+3No, actually if this gives you nightmares, you haven't seen Tubgirl or Goatse.
    • moblin7, on 05/17/2008, -3/+1***** THING SUCKS.
      • Nescirian, on 05/19/2008, -0/+0I assume the bury was because your comment had no relevance to anything.
        I lol'd. Dugg.
  • enronias, on 05/17/2008, -10/+18I hate these stupid stories but I love how they never look realistic AT ALL

    dugg down as inaccurate
    • KingGorilla, on 05/17/2008, -1/+9Wouldn't that just be a picture of a regular hedgehog?
      • skankyBacon, on 05/17/2008, -0/+7I think the Mario and Homer pictures were "realistic" without looking normal. The Bowser one and now this one just aren't as good. They just look like paintings.
  • et3rnalnigh7, on 05/17/2008, -0/+7That is so horrible....
  • tazdo0d, on 05/17/2008, -3/+4Just say NO to meth.
    • RyukShinigami, on 05/17/2008, -0/+1Hey, what's the Ticallion Stallion ever done to you?
  • STPZ, on 05/17/2008, -2/+9I thought you said "Realistic"

    -refer to picture
  • bokep, on 05/17/2008, -1/+3From his face I can tell that something is up his piehole.
  • Coolmatt49, on 05/17/2008, -1/+34Same with a realistic looking Mario; however, I wouldn't mind a realistic looking Samus ;).
  • BoSuu, on 05/17/2008, -0/+13Hedgehogs are brown? All these years I have been fooled.

    What next are you going to tell me foxes only have one tail?
  • Amadeus2490, on 05/17/2008, -1/+10Doesn't look too realistic to me.
  • Unouchable1, on 05/17/2008, -0/+4creepy as hell, though I agree with coolmatt, a realistic Samus would B great
  • Spamcan, on 05/17/2008, -0/+3If you convert Sonic into a realistic image and back again and it comes out looking nothing like Sonic that sort of invalidates calling it Sonic in the first place. Still a cool Sonic inspired pic, but not the blue hedgehog himself.
  • ConceptualTrap, on 05/17/2008, -1/+87http://img529.imageshack.us/img529/7884/soniczi8.j ...

    There, much better.
    • dagamer34, on 05/17/2008, -7/+2I see what you did there...
    • AussieFox, on 05/17/2008, -1/+6MUCH better.
    • tutfire, on 05/17/2008, -1/+34Here it is guys. I took some liberties on the color and accessories but I think you're find that it's very lifelike.

    • BlueCadenza, on 05/17/2008, -9/+0You suck at photoshop.

      Select color range and "hue and saturation > colorize" or else desaturate your selection your trying to color. Or else just use hue on your brush.

      Or don't use ultramarine on top of a compound color.
  • bgfinkel, on 05/17/2008, -4/+6uh sorry...how is this look "real"?
  • SolidSnak, on 05/17/2008, -1/+1Ok... now how about tails?
  • leorcastillo, on 05/17/2008, -8/+1Enough with this ***** already! Jack-offs have way too much effing time on their hands obsessing over fictional characters being real!!! Who the eff cares! It was marginally cool (maybe) the first 50 times, but now it's just pathetic. The worst thing is they keep getting worse and worse. [Taking a deep breath as roid rage passes] I know what the problem is...make the characters more relevant to this century like maybe Solid Snake, Nariko (yum) from Heavenly Sword, or....like...here's my attempt at a real Lara Croft http://www.ua-reporter.com/images/2005/04/27/b_lar ... (see what I mean ;)
  • A11YND, on 05/17/2008, -2/+12This is a realistic sonic:
    http://i129.photobucket.com/albums/p237/AetherTank ...
    • brambley, on 05/17/2008, -1/+1Realistic? That's obviously the most fake looking hedgehog I've ever seen.
  • Planets, on 05/17/2008, -7/+9Photoshopped a quick blue(ish) version if anyone wanted it. Nothing great, just thought someone might want a blue one. =)

    http://img265.imageshack.us/my.php?image=bluishsr2 ...
    • AussieFox, on 05/17/2008, -0/+3Not quite the right colour, just needs to be a darker blue. ConceptualTrap above did a really good one
    • CynicSight, on 05/17/2008, -0/+1That actually looks better. Thanks.
    • MaverickSmooth, on 05/17/2008, -0/+7That looks like a blueberry on steroids
  • nonks, on 05/17/2008, -0/+2not really feeling the style...looks like an overweight reject
  • GreenPuyo, on 05/17/2008, -1/+3Maybe it's just me, but this picture of Sonic looks like something Dr. Seuss might have drawn.
    • renegadeafk, on 05/17/2008, -0/+1If Dr. Seuss was tripping balls.
  • ihatea1sauce, on 05/17/2008, -2/+3Buried for not being blue.
  • Princeamor, on 05/17/2008, -0/+5Wooaaa way too scary! Looks more like a chupacabra!
  • SilentRamble42, on 05/17/2008, -6/+3These are getting old... I wouldn't mind seeing a realistic Pikachu, though.
  • TheKoopaBros, on 05/17/2008, -0/+3The thighs! The thighs!
  • aserer511, on 05/17/2008, -0/+4in for realistic Peach...
  • DarkoKun, on 05/17/2008, -0/+5Imagine if that thing was chasing you down a dark alley at night.
  • rickyisawesome, on 05/17/2008, -3/+2this is not scary
  • itsradBrad, on 05/17/2008, -1/+2Whats with all the sexual innuendos? Sexy hedgehog?

    'Rly people?
  • diggerman32, on 05/17/2008, -0/+18Can run as fast as KENYANS and he'll get deported back to KENYA!!!!
  • bjs3171, on 05/17/2008, -1/+1this is pretty cool. he did a really good job overall, but i think maybe the limbs are just a bit too thick. i know he's going for a kind of human runner's look, which I like, but I'd try playing with the proportions a bit more.
    i think i'll have to try one of these myself, it looks fun.
  • thenonhacker, on 05/17/2008, -0/+1Blue. No, Yellow!
  • zcollvee, on 05/17/2008, -0/+1this is freaky....
  • samson7842, on 05/17/2008, -1/+1Lil' Wayne!?!?

  • mersaydesbenz, on 05/17/2008, -1/+0His legs aren't big enough . . . how can he run so fast with those tiny things?
