Artist's Comments

This is my Table of Contents for my nine-chapter fanfiction entitled Kitsune: A Tailsish Fanfic From here, you can go to any chapter or illustration you please. Every chapter has its own illustration, and no chapter is shorter than five pages or longer than seven. This fanfiction is Complete. Over. Done. Fini. Concluded.

Despite the name of the fic, while Tails is definitely involved, there are many chapters where he has little screentime while other things are happening. Every canon character involved in this has their moment, it’s not JUST all about Tails. By necessity, I do have some original/fan characters in here, but don’t worry, this fic is not really about them.

I am open to more illustrations for this fanfiction. In fact, I would love it. If you do make an illustration, be sure to link to this TOC and also to the chapter your illustration is from. If it’s not specifically from any chapter, such as in the case of a portrait, then the TOC link alone is fine. In turn you will get a link on this TOC and the involved chapter so people interested in the fic can view your work.


About the Picture:

Donguri no Okoku
(Kingdom of Acorn)

Go on. Mess with ‘em. Everyone looks ready to kick some ass. All hail the Princess, or else! XO

This was originally going to be the illustration for Chapter Six, but after I inked it, I decided it would make an excellent Table of Contents eyecatch. The picture had less to do with the actual events of the story than did the other illustrations. This was more…I dunno, fantasy I guess, and my mind started coming up with all kinds of sub-stories for ancient Japanese Freedom Fighters and stuff. XD

These are actually clothes the Freedom Fighters wore at some point during the fic, though the weapons are for the picture only.

Tails-The Page
Regular kimono, with a traditionally painted bow, though the shape is more European than Japanese. Japanese bows are very strange looking, and I just couldn’t get it right, so I ended up giving up. Why a bow and arrows? Well, Tails FLIES, come on, he could totally wreak havoc with those.

Antoine-The Samurai
Kamishimi, samurai wear. He’s the swordsman of the group, so his role seemed pretty obvious to me. I did NOT give him the traditional Samurai hair style. That involves shaving the top of the head, and Antoine would kill me dead for that.

Bunnie-The Handmaiden
This fantasy-modifed aodai is a Vietnamese garment, not Japanese. Bunnie gets to be different, because I say so. :D She’s weilding a yari, a type of three-pronged spear.

Sonic-The Ninja
Regular kimono and bearing throwing knives. Why? Well, he’s fast, and throwing knives are fast. His clothes aren’t black and stuff because, like I said, this picture is showcasing the clothes from the fic, and also, regardless of what Hollywood says, ninja pretty much wore regular clothes most of the time. They were supposed to be hiding amongst regular people, you see, not standing out.

Sally-The Princess
Betcha saw that coming. Her clothing is called junihitoe, or ‘twelve-layer robe’. Stunningly expensive, very heavy and cumbersome, and only worn by the very rich or royal. I could not find any references of someone sitting DOWN in a junihitoe, so I did the best I could. For all I know, they can’t sit. That acorn-emblazoned piece on the front is an addition and not on real junihitoe, but the rest should be pretty accurate. The fan is part of the traditional getup, but of course, since Sally is anything but a helpless maiden, hers gets to be a razor-edged war fan.

I think it’d be fun to do a set involving characters not shown here, like Rotor, Amy, Shadow, etc. ^_^

RECOMMENDED FANFICTION:

:iconnikkicub: [link] A fic detailing how Bunnie Rabbot came to be the way that she is, with beautifully written glimpses into what childhood must have been like for the young Freedom Fighters. Multipart. [link] A cute little Buntwan fic. Oneshot.
:icontearra: Apparently, Sega had originally set Tails to be female, but changed their minds. This fic explores the possibility that Tails might just be pretending to be a boy, but how will the fox be able to continue to hide this when he/she begins to blossom? [link]
:iconphagetaru: [link] Rotor figures out a wonderfully sweet way to boost morale and give everyone a taste of what things used to be like. Oneshot.
:iconfreedomfighter4: [link] A somewhat dark fic about Tails’s mother showing up in the Great Forest. Mature audiences only, especially once part two is in action. Multipart.
:iconorumon: [link] An altaverse Sonic Underground fic where characters from other continuities join in the fun. Multipart.

I have many fanfics to catch up on reading, so I may have to update this list later after I’ve read some.

Wow, all hail the princess! Great job and this table of contents sure does make it easier. Great work. I think I like Antoine the best.
:icongojira007:
VERY nice. Sonic's hand looks a touch too big, but other than that, solid stuff. I really do love your style of linework and coloring, it's got this wonderful smoothness to it. :+fav:

Like you know, I haven't read yet, but HAVE set aside time. Tomorrow, I will be indulging myself.

But as for the picture, this is going to be a roundabout statement in general.

I envy your ability to draw multiple characters, but none of them ever seem to suffer in light of the others. It's amazing how they all retain perfect emotion and thought -- I can almost HEAR Sally thinking when I look at her, see Sonic smirking... you create your own atmosphere... and it's simply attractive, eye-catching and captivating.

If your art says this much about the tale behind it, its spine... it'd be something more than what I could've ever expected. From anything in written literature, not simply fanfiction, either.

But if you keep taking my breath away, my lungs are guna shrivel and I'ma die. D8

Foreshortening AND hands are weak points for me. They combine forces to DESTROY ME.

:dance: Yeah! I look forward to your take!

Hope I don't disappoint you though. ~_~; This picture just showcases their clothes, other than that, it has little to do with the actual fic.

Aww. You're such a flatterer. ^_~ Hee, thanks!
