I finished the banner! Its got a background now and I fixed up the letters that represent Shadow to have a red stripe (to look like him). Took me over a month of on and off work and now I'm going to start a Sonic Adventure 1 banner! ^_^
I own none of the characters in this comic (except for myself, Sonic TH, and even then, its not my sprite). Sega and Sonic Team owns them and I extend my eternal gratitude to the for it.
