Comment on Syd the Sour: Side Mouth by BlazeTBW
And I agree with Sonic here. When I first saw the Sonic Boom character models, in comparison, they seemed to have their mouths stuck in a constant duckface. lol
I never got the duckface thing honestly, but I guess it just never stood out to me as much as others.
For the sake of things though, my thing's more with examples like the Sonic Heroes cg cutscenes (granted that could be chalked up to limited ability at the time), Sonic X's style in various instances, probably some of the character images from the Advance series, and probably most of all, fan works (due to sheer abundance).
For in-game models, it wouldn't really have been until Sonic Unleashed that the side-mouth thing became more prevalent outside of the CG cutscenes. All the mouths were relatively centered, again, mostly due graphical limitations for the time.
While I understand that it is a style thing, there's times when I don't agree with it. It's easier for me to accept it on more rounded faces like Sonic, but harder for characters that go beyond that general shape like Tails and Knuckles. Especially when they have a more defined profile view where they could have more exaggerated expressions (imo) than just having their mouth pasted on the side of their face.
Again, just a preference, but I know people won't agree with me on this lol.
