i struggled with the lighting on this one so badly, but it turned out alright in the end.
i actually started it last year for new years 2023 but never got around to finishing it, hence no progress pictures this time sadly lol. i do have a very low-res, first draft, test gif though
for context, sometimes I volunteer at (redacted) running the live stream broadcast. it's come to my attention that I'm not exactly dressed for the location, even though those dress code suggestions are not meant for the tech desk lmao
also! hourly comics day is the first of feburary! I did exactly 1 (one) hourly comic before calling it a day. this is that singular comic a few days late.
I bought a very nice at home printer and a very nice at home cutting machine!
Because of this, I'm opening a merch tier on my Patreon for 2024!
And, I can print out your favorite panels for you on my shop now ^^ (I can also print of any of my illustrations! I'll add more paper sizes later as I figure out how to ship them 🧡)
I've made so many wonderful wonderful kind new friends this year on here 😭😭😭😭😭 I'm so lucky. I'm so glad to know all of you.
Thank you to everyone who is so kind to me and likes my posts and says nice things to me and spends their beautiful precious time on this planet earth looking at things I've made and talking to me. It's such a privilege. I love you.
Posted an animation of what I hc Sonic's name in sign being the other week, and thought it would be nice to post Tails' next!! This is what I came up with!!! :D
mp4 version and description under the cut!!
[ID:
A video of Tails viewed from the waist-up against a teal blue background. Tails is drawn in a simplistic style, with the only difference in design being the slightly darker orange patches of fur on the tips of his ears and the ends of his arms before his gloves.
In the video, Tails is signing his name, using the word ‘tail’ in BSL, but with two hands, copying the gesture on the left as well as the right. Tail is signed by having the index finger and thumb pinched together, with the remaining three fingers extended out. The hand starts out at the waist before the arm lifts at the elbow to face height. Tails leans slightly to the right as he signs, head and ears tilting tilting and tails lifting upwards slightly. As he signs, he mouths his name.
On both the left and right sides of his head, “Tail” is written in a darker navy colour. Above this on the right side, the artist’s signature is shown; the silhouette of a bongo with the letters BD inside.
