Description
FacebookHere's a fun one: a redesign of "The Shadow." It's difficult to mess with characters with simplistic yet iconic designs, so I decided to blend his traditional outfit with the Western influence of Yasuhiro Nightow ("Trigun," "Gungrave"): the goal being to create something that is still stylistically different from the Noir design (trench coat, fedora), but also familiar when immediately viewed.

Nicely done, but I'll take the classic SHADOW any day.

I like how you kept the sillouette of the Shadow, but updated the details and style. Nice stuff

I recognized the design you were going for immediately, but I didn't know it was a redesign of the Shadow. I think you pulled it off nicely, I especially like the pistols

Wow. This is awesome. Immediately knew it was Shadow, but was taken back at the style. Great color scheme and style!

Thanks! I hate doing re-designs because some characters are just perfect the way they are... had to tread carefully here.

Was the Yasuhiro Nightow influence inspirational intentional or a latent creativity thing?

Intentional... I absolutely love Nightow's work.

Sweet! Loving the Western/anime influence of the design- the red goes well against the black, too
