Description Looks as if I only logged off for a week.
Ho well, it's longer than other people that have sort of like... deleted their gallery and made their speeches. Which is all well and fine. Leaving here is hard.

Nonetheless, I needed a small break or else...

Story
Shadow went to hell. Because Sonic saved the day during the against the biolizard before the black and red hedgehog could undo all his bad deeds.
Now all he has is a rose- symbolising the good he once had, his memories of Maria, and everything he had turning to ashes.

Those are the gates in the bg, in some forest of death scene.

... and I really need to get back to studying.
Note that this is not the canon story but just one of my many interpretations. Granted a lot of people see Shadow as cute and cuddly- but I do to a considerable extent see bad in him. (:
That's why I love him.

This is an Oekaki, touched up via Photoshop.
I was going to put this as a deviation but on further thought, decided no. I didn't put much effort into it and so yes, that's it.

Interesting concept. Shadow in Hell would make an interesting story.

He's really a mistaken good guy, who is NOT evil or bad. And you sent him to hell? Now you've jsut made him more sadder. You should be ashamed!

Eh see....if it wasn't for all the great friends I've met here on DA (including you) I would probably just quit DA because its really getting pretty boring here. But its just because the great people here...and it just feels as if I can meet more great people on here and stuff. But Im glad your back

I always love how you draw Shadow, just this style you use just makes him look more cooler and badder (Well depends on the pics of him you draw) I just love his pose, its wonderfully done and the way he's holding up that fire ball with his finger just impresses me a lot. I don't know why, I just love it a lot! I think its just the way you made him tilting his head slightly down with just a little not smile/not frown (or is it a frown? xD) and then he is just holding up that fire ball with his middle finger (?) Oooh bad boy, no wonder he went to hell xD. ...well besides the thing you said in the description of course. He's still a bad boy. Very nice work making the the light from the fire shining on him, makes the pic look more realistic and adds more things. A pic with fire and no shines on the character is just so blah and boring, but when people add the shines it just makes the pic look so much better. Amazing work with the bg, its beautiful and just looks exactly like how I predict hell would look like. Red sky. Fire everywhere. A red sky. A spooky tree. Yup its all so awesome. Its cool and I just love how you made the fire seethroughish making the fire look more lighter and I just like the way you made the fire than some other people make fire. And great job with everything else....its all so good.
Ahhh man, Im being way too lazy these days...xD Just wish I could try to fight it more when it comes to commenting on your stuff. Hah anyways, splendid work yet again, just keep your pics coming...PLEASE! ;D

Very nice I really love that rose. His expression, too, it's kinda mysterious and very suitable The colourin is good, especially the fire, but if shadow and the gate were soft insted of soft and hard it would be more effective. The pose and such are awsome, how the heck do you do it?

Awsome pic. Sorry for the late-ish comment Kept seeing all my devs and putting it off.

xWraithx In reply to AprilEchidna [2005-08-01 09:56:23 +0000 UTC]

Thanks very much for the feedback. I think you're the first who noted the expression which to me, is basically the most important precursors in doing a pic. It helps me determine the rest of what I wanna draw >>

Glad you like the rose and such.

Yeah, I agree about the shadow and the gate perhaps being better off softer or something to add distance
Guess I'm dumb XD. Hopefully I will remember for next time... if there is a next time hope I dont' fail and get chucked out on the streets >>

Speaking of which, toodles *to study*

I'm not when it comes to memory work like remebering the twelve cranial nerves, their subdivisions and which parts of the foramen or fissures they pass through the skull >>;

I was better at application subjects like Maths. Biology is shizzy. But if I pass, most of the work will be decent cos we'll be well into clinicals ... << *le gasp*

I think it's a cool idea. Never realy had many pics of shadow being in the pits of hell. I have seen many where he goe's to heaven. I love how you coloured though. All the fire and the warm colours ^^ Mega Awesome *fav*

XD yeah, had to be different about poor Shad XD
Guess I wanted an excuse for him to come back to life, to be more mean and badass than ever and to get shirty with Sonic XP
Oh well, either way, he's alive *eagerly awaits Shadow game* hurrrr

Awww... thanks very much for the compliments, that on the colour and warmth of the scene and thanks for the fav as well
Oh, and the WB, sorta XD... still kinda stressed here but hey... I will attempt to multitask between studying and DA *shot*

A more badass Shadow is an awesome idea ^^ I like the sound of that. (also waiting 4 game)

I hope you are not stressed to long and once your studying stuff is over. that be a big realief off your chest.

Also, your welcome

Hee, Ben, I know how ya feel. Leaving dA even for a week was very hard for me.

But anyway, onto this lovely deviation...*shot* Very moving, this picture, where everything symbolizes something. As you said, the withering rose is the symbol of what little good Shadow had in his life, wasting away in the pits of Hell. And the gates are like the gates of Hell. To me, also, the flames could stand for the flames of ambition and anger and the many bad deeds Shadow has done. Fire leaves scars in the earth, just as his bad deeds will leave scars in those said peoples.

As Fizzy said, very vivid colors, ones I would expect to find in such a place. All in all a very interesting concept (I say hear, hear! Shadow isn't all cuddly...plus, badass just looks better on his resume xD ) and a very well done picture.

Pachamac [2005-07-31 12:20:58 +0000 UTC]

I like the idea behind this a lot and I agree with you in the aspect that many see him in a happy light... and while it can be interesting to see pictures of Shadow like that instead of the million upon millions of angsty pics, Shadow is more of a tragic character, and the premise that he falls into hell as he was unable to atone for all his past sins, despite the fact that he sacrificed his life to save the world, makes him seem even more tragic and makes for an interesting picture as shown here.

Everything is superbly well drawn with regards to lighting and the firey flames, and I particularly like the gates which helps to make the picture more interesting and varied too. One question though, what is that circular white light in the background between Shadow's head and the flame in his hand? It looks like a moon but I wouldn't have thought there would have been one in a hellish area. Hmm...

Good work, and the best of luck to you in your studies.

xWraithx In reply to Pachamac [2005-08-01 02:09:18 +0000 UTC]

Thank you! I'm glad someone agrees with me with how Shadow can be depicted XP
I am a fan of him, but I never claimed to be a 'fangirl'... yaish! But I agree with the fact that he is a tragic hero, as it were.

Anyway, thans very much for the compliments Pach ^^. I'm glad you like the gates and firey flames and all the rest of it.
To answer your question, yes, that would be the moon. Fair enough question and such. This is just some random surreal scene. Behind the gates is the outside scene and Shadow has just stepped into hell. Te he he... yeah, I'm twisted and cruel >>

Anyway, thanks for wishing me luck ^^. I need it... >>;

A nice drawing Kate, you really improved very much. So it's, and I have to say this, a shame that you have it in your scraps. I like the idea behind the pic and the pic itself. Another very emotional one with a deep meaning from you. Although I think Shadow made everything good while givving his life to save the world, which makes him in my eyes to an even more heroic char as Sonic.

Heh this is just bait for Shadow fans to prove your Sonic fandom point isn't it?

The glow from the flame on Shadow is superb and my favourite feature on this deviation.

favs.

... maybe subconciously it was, but on the other hand... I felt like drawing Shadow >>; XD
I think I've managed to sort of like, reason out everything. Getting everyone's input from the journal I wrote helped that. I know I preferred fan art over fan character art... until I got to know the fan characters themselves. Some of them. Not all are brill...

But anyway, glad you approve of the pic. And many thanks for the fav ^^

Intresting Shadow in hell. Hehe I think the fan freaks of Shadow might not like you for puting Shadow in hell. But hey whatever your picture.

Very well drawn. The eyes are very glossy looking and the Fire very nice.
