Holy shit. Ive been working on this on and off for MONTHS. ive restarted, resketched rewhatevered, and i just COULDNT get it to a spot im happy with.. But ive finally got that now, my marbelling technique and foreshortening skills are good enough for this. So colours are influenced by frontiers and the song titles are in the bg, the pose is also from a frontiers screenshot which is why its frontiers art specifically(i believe photo mode pic is by Channel Pup? idk tho oops). It also wasnt intentional but the shoe reminds me of the Black Knight Eastern cover art which is dope, idk what to say here really but if u want me to explain how i did certain things or even just pester me about frontiers, leave a comment, and until nextime ladies, lads and lovely nb's:
I'm sure a dozen other people have pointed this out but I haven't seen it come up in conversation much so I'll reiterate: each of the boss themes in Frontiers apply to Sonic, the boss, and the other ally on that island simultaneously.
I'm Here works for both Sonic and Sage, as well as the pressure that Supreme's pilot was going through before they died, both playing up Sonic's determination and foreshadowing how Sage will step up as the new pilot but ultimately die to protect the others.
I rambled about the rest on Discord a while ago so here's that mess:
Undefeatable
Break Through It All
Find Your Flame
These are very disorganized bc I was just kinda talking about something I liked about the game but oh well. Anyway Find Your Flame warned us about Nine
"I won't give up 'til the end of my extra lives,
I'm what you get when the Star Spirits align,
now face it, you're just a one-off boss fight!"

My natural response to hearing a Mario 64 cover of Undefeatable, because I'm neither normal about Mario 64 or Sonic the Hedgehog.
Mario 64 re-enactment of a shot from the first Super Sonic boss fight in Sonic Frontiers, using purely Mario 64 assets minus modified Mario textures, palette and a recolored fire texture for the aura.
Mario was posed using MMD and a port of Mario's model by SAB64, and then green-screened and chroma-keyed into FireAlpaca where I edited in the rest of the assets!
