Human design...

This is a development screen shot of the "Sonic Unleashed" PS3 and X-box360 versions. When this game was made, the company requested a new human design from me. Neither too real nor too Manga-style. At moderate deformation...

The blog by Sachiko Kawamura who is the art director of the sonic team is here. She mention the role of Gurihiru in game.

This game is scheduled to be release in late November.

Wii,PS3,X-box360...it is put on the market with each model. But visually, Wii is not as sophisticated as the PS3 and X-box360.
