Here we go! ^_^ I finally finished this piece.
This was one of those things I had wanted to do years ago, but never got around to. Then back in October, I managed to whip out a sketch of this (as seen in my scraps.)
Well, it’s been a few years since I’ve inked or colored in the usual Sonic Team style, so this looks really off.
I decided to use a bit of a mix style that I had been working on with Paths. I’d draw out the path I want, then stroke it with pen pressure to create a variable width line as depicted here. For kicks, I also colored it like that. 
So that’s why it doesn’t look like a typical SA style picture. Also, Tikal’s ‘Gloves’ are based off of her SA and SA2 3D Model’s, in which all Echidnae character’s had gloves, no fingers, despite her official artwork. (That and I was too lazy to draw individual fingers.)
I also got lazy with the background and just whipped something in there. XD;; Ah well. ^^ Line’s initially drawn in Flash, Re-worked in Illustrator, then finished in Photoshop. Colored, too.
P.S. Ignore the fact that the Chao Bauble is pink instead of yellow. XP;; I realized it after the fact. Oops.

About a month ago, a member on deviantART had sent me a note. It was their Birthday coming up shortly (at the time), and they wanted to know if I could draw them something. Normally birthday stuff has to be done quickly, and I had a bigger project going, so I read the request with an open mind.
In it, they detailed they were looking for an image of Shadow, holding a Shadow Chao, which was holding a birthday present. ^^ I thought it was cute, and I was inspired, so I quickly sketched it up. Though I won’t finish it, at least it exists!
