Curate, connect, and discover
A not-perfect-but-still-satisfactory tribute to my favorite zone of Sonic Advance 3. Why? Well, just look at the place! The sky's colored like a sunset (for which I'm a sucker), there's floating ruins, two celestial bodies in the sky, only one of which you see here, and let's not forget how the music contributes to the epic, no-nonsense atmosphere! Like, seriously, the composers didn't have to go hard here, but they did, and I thank them for it (I like to joke about it being Cream's theme since she's freaking OP especially with Knuckles as her partner, holy shit).
As you can see, I took a few liberties with the details. I didn't feel up to drawing all the little thing so I kinda simplified it. Making this was a little annoying, but overall fun. I would definitely like to make more pieces like this for other favorite levels.
Started this two days ago hours before one of my cockatiels passed away. My family and I speculate it was an accidental death, though it was still shocking nonetheless. He was a fantastic boy who will never be forgotten.
