The Shadow Returns

I don't normally redo work that's "finished", but I felt compelled to do so this time because I never quite felt satisfied with the way the piece turned out the first time ( see my April 28 post ). The new piece is a lot closer to what I had in mind originally. This time I did it all digitally, and made it more painterly as well as bolder in terms of design. I definitely wanted to play more with hiding him in the shadows etc. I even considered adding a Chrysler building style eagle gargoyle on the far right frame, to mirror the Shadow's profile ( who knows, maybe I'll do it in another version again in another 4 months! )
