Shard meets Classic Metal

Hey Metal, that's a nice shiny you're playing with-

WAIT IT'S NOT THAT GEM IMMERSED IN SHARD'S CHEST? IT BETTER NOT BE OR...

...or...

OH.

---------------------
EDIT: adjusted shadowing according to light source, added more lively background.

Done as an entry for 's contest, and, of course, to honor spectacular Shard/Metal Sonic buttkicking which is set to occur in SU#50. Although I think one issue is too small to hold this much of awesome, I hope it'll continue somewhere in "Worlds Collide" crossover arc. Anyway, Shard will most probably win, but let's give some luck to Metal~

--------------------
In other words, no more long descriptions depicting obvious things here. This CE should have come after some other works, but I had to finish it first to fit into deadline. That's why I update twice a year - Slowpoke either draws awesome or nothing at all. Let's pretend I was improving but actually sitting on my butt all that time.
