Darn the short title limit on here.
The official title is: "You DO Want To Be More Than Just A Pathetic Little Shadow, Don't You?"

Sorry for my extremely long absence, I've been going through stuff irl and I've been busy with upcoming projects. I'm also at a loss for what to draw for Halloween. I need to draw something SPECIAL. It can't be any ol' "ooooh, we're dressed up for Hallaweens!" thing, it has to be be SPECIAL.

Anyway, Arian (the blue dragon thing) bumps into Shadow (and isn't subsequently scared off by her (then again, she sees some shit everyday, so he's probably desensitized at this point)) and notices how she looks really, really, reaaaaaaally similar to an annoying Plum Doberman (and her twin sister) that tends to foils his plans whenever they meet...
So, he strikes a deal with Shadow, he'll just give her a lil' some'in', some'in' (read: an evil force that takes over her body) and in return, Di'll like it or something. Err, I mean, "she'll never forget it!" (read: she ded).
Sounds like a good deal to me!

Don't get mad at Shads, she's really naive and ignorant as to what he's up to.
TRUST ME, she wouldn't hurt Di. On purpose, of course.

On the art side, I'm actually pretty pleased with this pic!
(Incoming troll comment to make me feel bad in 3... 2... 1...)
THIS IS THE FIRST TIME I EVER DREW ARIAN
I DREW HIM OFF THE TOP OF MY HEAD HERE.
This is like the second time I've done that lately and the first time is with Shads here.
THIS PICTURE IS SYMBOLIC OF HOW I MADE BOTH OF THEIR DESIGNS STRAIGHT FROM MY IMAGINATION WITHOUT TRADITIONAL HELP! =O
nah that's far-fetched
hehe "fetched"

I also love their posing here, Shadow actually being intimidated by him and fully showing it (but she did the same when Ben called a one-animal witch hunt on her: ), aww, that sad look on her face..., the nose boop (all teh boops),
