As mentioned before in the previous post with the original version, I had a spark of inspiration as I was creating the initial sketch which was going to be nothing more than a character sketch of Amy Rose. However, as it evolved into a full colored illustration, I started to also have more ideas come to mind as I was in the coloring process. In the upcoming Sonic Frontiers game, Amy is captured mysteriously inside of a digital red cage of some sort. When freed after the player collects her "Memory Tokens", she is strangely seen as not entirely free and in a strange "digital glitch" state in appearance. I wanted to mirror that for this illustration, but I also enjoyed the original colored version as well.
As a result, I decided to just go with both to see how each would turn out. I'm very happy with how both illustrations turned out side by side, so it's still very hard to choose which I would prefer more.
