Album cover art and video asset art for Victor McKnight's cover song of "His World" from the game "Sonic the Hedgehog (2006)". This is the eighth album art I have done in Victor's series of Sonic music covers.
This art was made with two purposes in mind: the first one being an album art cover that was uploaded to music platforms such as Spotify, Apple Music, Bandcamp, etc. The second purpose of this art was to have the art animated for the YouTube video uploaded to Victor's channel. The art was made with 5 sets of separate "layers" in mind; flames, emeralds, and each hedgehog on individual layers, that could be moved in a simple floating animation pattern, which you can see in motion in the YouTube upload.
This was the second song cover to feature two separate video uploads on two different YouTube channels, which let me to being creative and allowed both uploads to have varying art; one being a "normal form, Kingdom Valley colored" setting, and the other being a "super form, Crisis City colored" setting.
This song features two different video uploads: one on Victor's channel, and one on Fadel's channel. Each video features a slightly different art focus. Thumbnails and animation by Victor McKnight.
