Personally I think that she look better without the vest.

It'd look cool if she wore the vest open like in SatAM, but with the tank top underneath.

Ah, I get it now! I wondered why the new design is so drastically different. It's stylized and simplified, sure, but there was something else. She's portrayed fullface now, like in Dulcy episode:

I don't understand what you mean.

I don't understand what you mean.

In Satam Sally is drawn in 3/4 like 90% of the time. It's when the person is turned in a way to the viewer that you can see 3/4 of the face - both eyes and one ear. Like that:

Sometimes she's portrayed from the side (half-face, in profile), sometimes from the back, but very rarely in full face. I believe such perspective was first used in Dulcy episode (20th out of 26). That one:

However it is used a lot more in comics - in OP's examples more than half of Sally's drawings are done full-face. So whenever I saw a rebooted Sally, there was something else unusual about her, along with slylized appearance.

I can dig the new outfit. But, fuck me drunk... Why must she be drawn with such grotesquely enlarged hands? She looks like a fucking joke. I am not sure who that other character is (haven't followed the comic since... 2008), but I'm assuming he's just a side character? Well, even that dude is drawn with better proportions than ol' Sally.

What the hell went wrong over there? Where's Art Mawhinney when you need him?

The hands were enlarged because many of the female mobians had ridiculously small hands.  There's a few scenes where Sally and Sonic are holding hands and it looks like her hand barely covers one of his fingers.  Mobian hands were just down right weird...

 

So they generally gave everyone the same hand size.  On one hand it does look a little awkward on some characters but on the other when they interact with objects or each other looks better.

I take it you haven't seen Sonic in quite a while since he too had freakishly-large hands as well. It's part of the modern art-style of the franchise and everyone in SatAM was redesigned to reflect that style.



As for the other dude, that would be Dr. Ellidy. The creator and "father" of Nicole (Sally's handheld computer), whose programming was based after his deceased daughter. It's a sad story.

Sorry to disappoint you. Mawhinney is still around, but his recent attempts at drawing the modern Sonic style weren't all that spectacular...





Such a same too. The modern style is something he could easily draw, but I guess not.

Well... I think I shall remain ignorant on what Archie are doing a just keep reading Sea3on.

It wasn't really Archie's decision. Rather it was the result of SEGA mandates and the recent reboot brought forth by a lawsuit involving former-writer, Ken Penders.

Thanks for being so selfish, Penders. Same goes to SEGA and Archie.
