Description "A spiral of black cloud had appeared over the city's center, stretching like a tube up into the atmopshere. Its center opened just above the tops of the tallest buildings, and black specks dropped out of it ... without any idea of what I intended to do, I teleported into the bedlam.

And bedlam it was. The black specks dropping out of the tunnel of cloud were huge alien monsters. They descended slowly, floating with some kind of anti-gravity devices around their waists, then hit the ground and attacked ..."

Concept art for the fic I'm writing, based on the Shadow game.

Painted in Photoshop because I'm too lazy to bend Painter to my will.

Edit: Final version now up! Fullview to see the details. I added more details, made the building lights better, and added more atmosphere to the sky. And the comet.

Too bad Shadow's got his back to us ... I'd like him to show you guys his alien pendant.

They had no chance of seeing THAT coming. It took a minimum of 5 seconds for that invasion to start.

jasonlauchlan [2006-08-25 01:48:16 +0000 UTC]

The biggest beef I have is that the ARK is a little off. One of the "eyes" is a little misaligned and it's missing the solar panel fins on the sides...nothing really big though.

Good pic, nonetheless...

SonicPossible00 [2006-08-09 18:35:39 +0000 UTC]

it's so cool, in fact that, this is your best work yet. The backgroun is so surreal... it reminds me of the works of Salvador Dali. It's a mixture of surreal and realistic worlds. There's only one little problem, the moon is all there, why didn't you draw her like in Sonic Adventure 2?

It's a fanfic, and I'm still writing it. But you can find the rest of my series in the fic section of netraptor.org. My series has been setting up for this adapt for several fics now. You like Shadow angst?

Hey, this pic was a lot of work! I was too lazy to use Painter, is all. Painter is hard to use, while I know Photoshop inside and out.

Lazy is what produced my tiger-dragon. He's not even finished. :-p
