So I was just looking online for some facial references for another Rouge picture, when i noticed something. See whenever I draw something 'sonic style', I tend to treat the flesh colored area like it's the full muzzle. The curves in the back are the jawbone, center is chin/lips ect. but I could never get it to look right.
Today though, I noticed the sonic X characters don't actually have proper muzzle anatomy. I know that anime doesn't typically have a set jaw with the over the top expressions that can occur, but in most of the sonic images the mouths are very offset to one side.
Above on the left are the original images, and on the right are the images I took 3 seconds to edit in GIMP.
I'm not saying one way is better then the other, but now I can't unsee this and you'll all suffer with me.

I always enjoyed it when their mouth could move across the muzzle freely, like in Shadow the Hedgehog. The CG scenes in that game showed Shadows mouth sliding from the Center to the Side at certain points. Nowadays, whether CG FMV or in-game cutscenes, their mouth, (with the exception of obvious ones like Tails and the females [Oddly enough, Rouge is excluded]) is confined to one side of the muzzle. Fun Fact: In the XBOX 360 and PS3 versions of Sonic Unleashed, Sonic can be seen with two mouths, one on each side of his muzzle.
