Normal people: Well written character and story analysis that deepens understanding of the material. Me: I wonder what sound Espio’s handgaurd’s would make if you tapped them…Some of his renders it looks hard and shiny, very solid. Others it looks a bit like leather… a firm but pliable texture. They texture his shoes and cuffs like leather too, but more obviously… usually. In his SHTH render, his shoes are very shiny and look plastic-y. Though that’s kind of an outlier, it’s very leather in the majority of renders. Well, his Heroes render it was plastic-y looking too… Hmmmm. HMM!!! On that note, I refuse to believe Sonic shoes are boots until they stop putting a sock texture on the top of his so-called boots. No way.
