TEXTLESS VERSION:

AKA, (almost) everything I love about Amy Rose in one (well two) page(s). So many games in one page... Thumbnailing this along took a while, and then once I settled on a layout I still ended up rewriting some things a few times including when I was lettering the damn thing. But I tried to include as many key aspects of Amy's rolls in the games. I couldn't include everything because a) it wouldn't fit. and b) I don't consider all of the games canon with one another.

I'm hoestly quite surprised that I even managed to finish this in two weeks. It was the colouring that took the longest (it always is) but ugh, SO MANY GAMES! SA2, Heroes, Rush, Unleashed, Black Knight and Lost World. Geesh.

Some random things I realized while working on this:

- Amy is probably the first person to hug Shadow since Maria died (*feels like she's been punched in the feels*)

- For all Amy's sass and forwardness ("If I tell you, will you marry me?") she doesn't actually force anything (aside from death hugs) on Sonic - she wants him to accept and reciprocate of his own volition. And at the same time she's so used to him not doing so that when he actually does she reacts with a mix of surprise, awe and exuberant joy. It's adorable

- in SA2 both Amy and Tails legitimately thought they had just watched Sonic die. And both likely blamed themselves in that moment - Amy for getting captured and Tails for revealing the emerald was fake. (*punched in the feels again*)

- Shadow's "death" was the first time Sonic couldn't save a friend. Given how quiet he was and how he stood off away from everyone else while they talked I think that hit him particularly hard. And, of course, Amy's the one who notices something's wrong and goes to his side.

Now that this monster is done... I almost feel like I need to take a break from Pen Pals again. I have more comics I want to work on (both Before the Boom and random Boom-based one-offs) and This thing has eaten up pretty much all my free time for the past two weeks. I dunno... I'm gonna post a poll after this, let me know what you guys would like to see!

There's a lot of games I didn't include. There isn't enough space, also it wasn't relevant to the story.

It's from the ending of Sonic and the Black Knight. You only hear this scene instead of see it.

the black knight moment is my favorite. Β I like that at the start that he had two chili dogs, like maybe he was buying one for Amy. Or he was really hungry.

Luv me some Amy sass . And after rewatching the cutscene when doing my research for this page he didn't really seem upset by it, just sort of confused. That's when I had the revelation that "Oh my gawd, this is the first time he's been hugged since Maria" He was probably thinking something along those lines, being completely unused to being touched in a friendly manner after so long. DX And thank you~

Especially the moment from Sonic Adventure 2: Battle when Sonic was in the exploding capsule.
I absolutely love that scene as well as the game in general.
Anyway, this story is fantastic! Keep up the good work!Β  Β

This comic has been so heartwarming, and the feels are very strong in this page!Β  Β Β  Β 

I absolutely LOVE what you've done with this page!! Everything from the comic's layout to the use of flashbacks from Amy's perspective is just fantastic. Amy Rose will always be one of the coolest characters in the Sonic universe. And Pen Pals is easily the best tribute to her I've ever seen.

Thank you so much!!! That means a lot to me. I don't remember what exactly my thoughts were when I started this aside from expanding on Sonic and Amy's relationship throughout the years, but this did sort of turn into a character-deconstruction didn't it? I'm fine with that. I adore Amy and I'm happy to show all the reasons why.

Great job on this so far, I've been loving every page ever since you posted the teaser image! I can't wait to see more!Β 

I have a question, I know every single thing that has happened in this page but one. What was the one with Amy getting mad at Sonic with the little crown in the text bubble? Next to Sonic Unleashed and Sonic Lost World? I can't seem to remember that one :/

SallyVinter In reply to Blueberry-97 [2015-03-14 23:47:19 +0000 UTC]

So many Feels

Thank you very much! I'm glad you've been enjoying it so far!

It's from the ending of Sonic and the Black Knight, a scene that we don't see, but only hear. The game starts off and Sonic is on his way to a date with Amy (which is presumably the one he agreed to in Unleashed, which is why I placed it afterwards), but gets swept up into his next adventure. It's him explaining to Amy what happened after he finally gets out of the book and shows up. She is less than pleased

And right! That's like one of my favorite Sonamy moments haha. I didn't recognize it because we never saw anything, we just heard them talk about it. But now I can have a image appear in my head whenever I hear that part! So thank you for that xD You drew them so well in this! Keep up the great work!Β

It's amazing from the very start to present time how much things change with Amy. It shows how much of a strong character she is. I love how you portrayed her and Sonic in here!! Sonic seems to be more comfortable with her as the story progresses. Love to see his point of view from this . I love Amy's point of view of stories as well! Very nicely done!!

SallyVinter In reply to Aamypink [2015-03-14 07:24:44 +0000 UTC]

I agree! That's why I love her so much. She's dynamic and grows while still retaining her core personality as this sweet things that helps people because that's what she feels is right and has this burning sense of eternal optimism. And I'm so glad you noticed Sonic's evolution too! It's something that I noticed when doing my research that the farther along in the "timeline" (I don't consider all of them to be canon with one another, like Riders and Chronicles would have their own diverging timelines or perhaps be an AU...like Sonic 06 ) of the games you go the more comfortable he becomes with her. The Blue Blur's growing up just as much as she is. Too bad he still doesn't know how to talk to girls

We'll see Sonic's point of view soon

Nice to see some of my favourite scenes included in this page! The part in SA2 when Sonic was trapped in the capsule (because it was the closest Robotnik ever came to defeating him and kinda sad when Sonic was saying goodbye to Amy and Tails), and the part when Amy persuades Shadow to help save the world. The end of Black Knight brings a smile to my face, it's too bad we only get to hear their voices. Lost World was one of the games where it's clear to see how much Amy has matured, Sonic seems a lot more comfortable around her at that point. The text sounds exactly like the sort of thing Amy would say to Sonic, would love to know what his response would be! Well done again

SallyVinter In reply to GirlGamer12 [2015-03-14 07:14:57 +0000 UTC]

It was really fun to draw some of my favourite scenes! Although going back and doing the research was when the feels struck particularly hard because I hadn't played them in years so there were plenty of things that I guess didn't register when I was younger Or they didn't hit me as hard, I guess. And thank you! I rewrote this page so much trying to get her voice just right. And, well... while we may not see Sonic's response to this letter exactly I'm sure he has plenty to say in his next letter

I know what you mean, for me there are plenty of scenes in the games that have more of an impact now than when I was younger. Whenever I play through them, it makes the experience that much better. Can't wait for the next page, I'm very intrigued to see Sonic's version of events!
