Shadow Laugh

After years of being trapped in the same style - I've finally managed to free myself and combine everything I know about soft shading with everything I know about my "Not Quite Sonic Adventure Style". It still needs some fine tuning here and there but I'm pleased with the results.

The picture started out as me wanting to draw an "lol" icon for my LJ. I wanted a Shadow one. Then I thought: "Oh sweet Jesus Shadow never laughs. At anything. For any reason". So, I wondered what he would actually look like if he did laugh. Obviously he's pointing at someone doing something stupid or messing up. Shadow strikes me as someone who would laugh at someone's misfortune or mishap. Not really one you can tell "Okay two guys walk into a bar..." kind of jokes.

Anyways...
