(And Fang got that drip)

Seeing here, Sonic has some small, but noticeable changes in shading and shining; stuff like on the ears being a bit less shaded, his eyes which have slightly cleaner pupils, and the sclera touches on the blue of the fur way less, his muzzle where he has less shades, the gloves where it's noticeably less gray, his belly which has a square shine in place of a bunch of different whites, his legs which have a larger shade of blue, which speaking of, his quill shade is shaped differently, as it curves around nicely on the middle, and has more space on the bottom.
Tails has an overhaul where he has his facial features cleaned up, plus his bangs no longer shine, and his nose can actually be seen somewhat, along with a more noticeable friendly smile and cleaner pupils, along with the shaping of his sclera and his muzzle fluff is angled up to look a bit more like his initial design; his whole body gets an entire overhaul in not just shading, but shaping as well, with the chest fluff being angled to the initial design's shape, and it also is shaded less sloppily; his other hand is slightly larger to match his front hand; his tails are a little more orange and have a more filling shade; and his shoes get a big overhaul with the sock ring being a bit bluer, and his shoes have cleaner shading.
Knuckles is similar, but like Sonic, small changes noticeable; the head has a brighter red on the shine, and a darker red on the shade, where there's also a bit less shade on the dreads; his muzzle is overhauled to a small degree, where his nose length is a bit longer, his smile is a bit cleaner, and there's a small shaping of the muzzle too if it wasn't noticed; and there is a small change of shading with the shoes too, and brighter soles.
Amy has a BIGGER overhaul with her fur palette being much brighter in pink; her head has been cleaned up to an extent and it has much stronger emphasis on detail; her bangs are a bit less messy, as well as her ears, and her head band, and her quills; her eyes are quite different with the sclera having a less weird look, and even having the cleaner pupils and even lashes, and the connection with her muzzle is a lot different, including a differently shaped nose, plus her smile is cleaner; the gloves, fortunately, have fingers now, and a cleaner shade too, along with the rest of her body, and her shoes look cleanly done, with them being slightly shorter, and the laces looking like laces, and not to mention the cleanup of sole shading.
Metal Sonic, like Sonic & Knuckles, only has small changes, like the shading being more metallic, with a brighter shine, and him having a more orange-ish yellow; and his shoe color is also much redder.
Fang, out of every other character, has the BIGGEST overhaul; to start it off: his hat is bright in color, and less shaded than it used to be, but has a slightly nicer-looking curve at the brim, and it's band looks shiny without overdoing the shades, props to that; the head is much more fang-y, as his face has had a massive overhaul; to start off, his ear is less shaded, but makes up for just how good the colors match, plus the fact that the dark purple is much more saturated, which is honestly way cooler; his eyes look less messy, as his pupils look less messy, as well as the sclera being touched up a lot to where the shading under the hat was definitely a good touch; his muzzle is less messy to look at, and again, has a nice touch-up where the fluff, is pointier, and you can even see the right side behind it; his mouth looks less bended, and his fang is a bit shorter, and a bit less pointy too; his nose is kind of the same, except for a small touch up around its shape; the whole body is completely different to where he's got this amazing pose, plus better shading; saying goodbye to the blue shading, his stomach is a bit more pronounced, and the belt is kind of the same, where the color is a bit more brighter; his limbs are noticeably, very different, as his arms are a lot longer, and not like Tails' in the demo days, plus the gloves have been fully cleaned up; and his shoes are pretty much like the gloves; his tail as well, like the ear, has little shade, but makes it look nicer.
Overall, the new sprites get a thumbs up from me.
