SatAM Amy and Shadow

(Photoshop 3.4; background may have turned out a bit too dark, but I wasn't in the mood to adjust anything)

An idea that came to me earlier, that had to be drawn sooner or later. While Amy-in-SatAM is a concept I think isn't too uncommon, I've only seen one or two attempts to transplant Shadow into that continuity.

Amy Rose and Shadow are two hedgehogs living in a village a ways away from Knothole. Reports of Sonic's heroics have reached that place, and Amy holds a deep respect and admiration for him and his friends. She was always adventurous, but the exploits of the Freedom Fighters have inspired her to go even further. Because it's dangerous to go alone, Amy usually brings the much older Shadow along with her, whether he likes it or not.

Despite what his grumbling might lead one to believe, Shadow does care for Amy's well-being and does his best to make sure she doesn't suffer any grievous injuries. And while he wouldn't admit it, all this dragging-along has allowed him to see places and things he never would've otherwise.


* Amy's outfit is lifted from what she wore in the Archie comic before she got hold of the Ring of Acorns; Shadow's was kinda based on some Redwall character designs.

* As to not carbon-copy his game back story, Shadow's just a normal hedgehog-tenrec hybrid here. Unlike StS!Shadow's parens, SatAM!Shadow's might still be alive.

* Amy may or may not be Sonic's sister in this continuity, too.
