@Bendilin oh, that's cool!

I honestly just used a 1999/2000 version of MSPaint and suction tooled colours from Gamespot screenshots of Sonic Adventure 2 Amy for the pinks, reds, and skin colours, while keeping original Sonic The Hedgehog 2 and 3 for greys. These were meant to be part of the Sonic Adventure 2 sprite line Tyson Hesse made for this sprite comic, "Sonic ARGH". Tyson made Sonic, Knuckles, Tails, and Shadow. I made several others, such as Amy.

@MadeKillaSam Not really... A few of the colours do match what old Genesis emulators used to have especially regarding the greys and a shade of red but the rest were different.

Back then it would have been either a gut feeling regarding the palette or compared to screenshots. Also since Amy had become a regular Sonic character, the only easy access games emulation wise would have been the Advance and the Game Gear games (Sonic CD was not as easy to access, had to either have the PC port or a physical copy on hand or had a pretty large hard drive of the day after taking a long time to find and download the game, those 700MB disc games were brutal), even then the palette doesn't match those either...

Funnily enough Tyson Hesse's originals of these edits do match the early MD palette spot on. Whether he did it himself or Dioxaz (who I believe was one of the first who really pushed for PNGs) who had done the palette conversion, the latter I believe hosted some Sonic artwork back in the day.

@MadeKillaSam I'd be surprised if that article even existed when these were made.

@Doc von Schmeltwick: you can tell from their colors. I guess they probably got them from the Wikipedia article of game console palettes

@Grinder These are ancient.

I'm gonna be honest, I don't really like them. But, props to you for making them. I respect that.
