================ “Barrel of Doom” v. Sonic ===================
=======================================================
Did anyone else get stuck on the “barrel of doom” in Sonic 3 when they were younger? XD
Parodying that (minor) frustration from when I was little, above is my most recent project 
Screenshot/Workspace:
The eyes were the major challenge for this one! I really wanted to make them look like traditional Sonic eyes (i.e. the “one giant eye” style instead of two separate eyes like they used in the films). I gave the pupils a slight indent, arranged the origins so they would rotate along the surface of a lattice-deformed white sphere, and then added a transparent/glossy “skin” on top.
I’m releasing the Blender 2.79b file below (CC0 license):
