Description
"...to take the tides away.All we need's a little time, to chase the blues away.
Sun is out and it feels like, it's always gonna stay.
Let this last forever, turn tomorrow, into yesterday."
~ 'Into Yesterday' by Sugar Ray [link] Amazing peaceful song!
Hiya! Well, I never really planned on making this xD I made the background while listening to that song, and it just happened to look really awesome (I randomly messed around on Photoshop to make it! All from scratch!
)Then I thought to myself "What/Who can I draw for this background?"....can't draw humans + haven't drawn enough Shadow and should do so because he's badass = THIS! ^.^ Plus, I think I'm mini-obsessed with drawing Shadow with a smile.
The song was slightly suitable for him, I mean, our fave dark hedgie just needs a little time to chase the blues away, am I right?
...Come to think of it, that sounds like chasing Sonic away...since he's blue and stuff

Yeah... But sometimes they're kinda stubborn with what they do which pisses me off sometimes... You're a great artist and you're not stubborn! So that's why I appreciate your art

Hey! I was just wondering hehe how do you do to get such an awesome background of a night sky??
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Well, it's actually very easy to make on Photoshop! 
You don't have to download the star brushes if you don't want to. Instead, you can just make small white spots with a normal brush tool and then right-click the layer and click 'blending options' then go to 'Outer glow'. But I find the Star brushes easier.
