Louw explained the process behind them on Instagram, writing, "I wanted to show Harley from a different perspective, more from her light hearted and fun side VS from her darker aspects. I also wanted this artwork to convey her strong and lively character with music playing loudly, which is open to interpretation to the viewer for what she might be listening to."
Louw called designing Ivy a challenge, saying, "I felt like I was being asked to climb Everest for a second time, but I was up for the challenge and here she is! Took my own creative license on her bark since I felt it was a better design choice."
