Given that Sonic.EXE has a lot of "devil" comparisons, I decided to give Nick an "angel" appearance. Plus, there's a film producer named Nick Angel, so... I personally decided to make him a tenrec because they're very similar to hedgehogs! Note that his "build" isn't like Sonic's as well. Also note he actually looks quite different from Sonic now. I also love the idea of him being a tenrec because it feels like he's was made to be, like, the successor to Sonic or something, and tenrecs are similar to hedgehogs, so it works out. ...wait I said that alread- FYI he still has white gloves.
Believe it or not, I drew this in an hour. While since he still looks like a Sonic character, and if featured in something that actively makes money like Gameoverse they still COULD get demonetized, I think it's a little less likely now.
