Can't I Hang Out With the Cool Kids Too?

This was just sitting in my Stash for the longest time. I was practicing with a new style of shading, and a new style of paws. The Umbreon in the picture is me, the shiny Jolteon is my crush (whose code name is going to be Hano from now on), and the other two are some of his good friends, Dray the Vaporeon, and Gem the Glaceon. (I used code names for them too, those aren't their real names). 

Basically, I want to hang out with the cool kids. (They're not really part of the cool kids in real life. They're part of the Pokemon clique, which, in my opinion, makes them cool.) They're really nice, and they would let me hang out with them, it's just that I'm too much of a chicken to just walk over and start talking to them. So technically I CAN hang with the cool kids, it's just that I'm too afraid to. Actually, I'm already friends with Gem, only because we have art class together and she's really awesome! But STILL I'm too afraid to walk over there... 

Anyway, tell me what you think about my new shading style, and new paw style plz!
