Shadow X

No BG + lineart only versions because I kinda like how he looks on his own

#metal cardbot #shadow x #my art #Just got a new art tablet! My old one broke in early March so it's been a while since I've made any digital art #And for some reason the first thing I draw is this thang #Bwuh. Idk if I'm satisfied with this but WHATEVER! GO MY SHADOW X

Regarding Shadow X and Flash Vector

The Metal Cardbot page on Namuwiki has this tidbit of information on it that I found interesting:

Both characters' pages mention that Flash Vector was something of a teacher to Shadow X. Makes sense, as they both have the stealth mode ability. Furthermore, Flash Vector apparently dislikes this fact (or, at the very least, doesn't particularly care about it).

This hasn't been brought up in the show, so I wonder if it's something that will be relevant in Season 3?

Anyway, there's a little bit of speculation in the references of the "affiliation" section on Shadow X's page:

I thought it was interesting, especially taking into consideration that Flash Vector was his mentor. Not only that, but Flash Vector himself has a notable fear of abandonment regarding Spark Bit. It makes me wonder if these traits could be the result of a falling out with each other.

Flash Vector makes impulsive decisions thinking he's protecting Spark Bit or their brotherhood, and then refuses to explain the reason why, so Spark Bit gets angry and thinks he's being underestimated. Maybe it was a similar situation with him and Shadow X, and it ended with Shadow X actually leaving, so now Flash Vector is afraid of Spark Bit doing the same. Meanwhile, Shadow X ended up with the mindset that forming a close bond with someone means becoming their subordinate.

#metal cardbot #shadow x #flash vector #long post #I hope this isn't terribly long. I have a lot of incoherent thoughts about these guys so I tried to keep it concise #Shadow X is so peculiar to me. What do you MEAN you don't know what friendship is #I can understand him not knowing abt dads or birthdays because Cardbots don't really have those. But friends???#Also I think there's a scene in a later episode where he's like “ooh are we getting more subordinates :D” and Jun's like “what no”#Source: just trust me bro I swear I remember stuff that happens in this show sometimes
