Cream the Rabbit (Teen Version Prototype)
This is a fan art of Cream the Rabbit from Sonic the Hedgehog franchise. I reimagined Cream to be a teen in this picture, maybe as a junior middle school student.
Considering the franchise being action oriented, I gave Cream spandex shorts. Her outfit is based on sailor-styled school uniform. Her ear tips are puffy and curly to simulate curly hair, which I think makes her look a bit more matured.
This is an early prototype of the design. I drew this to find a way to use more realistic anatomy on Sonic characters. Cream’s head in this early version is closer to the official design. The final version changed to my own style instead.
