[EDITED] Little intermission in the development..

Posted by Tarnish Feb. 1, 2008 @ 6:11 AM EST

EDIT: Since I want to make this series as best as I can, I decided to add 3D stuffs too with Swift 3D. I'm getting the hang of using it, so I made a PIECE of a scene that will be in the FINAL (about 90% sure on this) version. Check it out, tell me what you think, and MOTIVATE ME!!! http://tarnishprower.deviantart.com/ar t/Tails-POV-SreenShot1-80812947

Sorry every1, but I just gotta take a little break from working on Tails POV because it's just getting on my nerves and makes me want to delete the stuff I made so far..the development is still in it's early stages if any1 wondered, I'm still making some custom sprites to make the series as cool as I imagine it and to show expressions which would be hard using the sprites from official sheets.

But here's a little something to show how Tails will look like in the series, hopefully this is the final design (he looks more like he's entering his teenage years instead of his 'official' 8 years-old age, I tried to make him a bit shorter than in the earlier episodes, but still taller than in the official games, give him long bangs, big ears, 3 of the original 4 white muzzle furs [not like in the Advance games] the new pair of 'hover sneakers', the most Tails-like heads I could make and make his tails move the most fluid I could..this is how I think he should look):

That's a very good animated sprite there - I envy your 'sprite-age'!

Feb. 1, 2008 | 12:15 PM Tarnish responds:

Heh, thx I guess..and I envy your drawing and flash skills.

Feb. 2, 2008 | 1:17 PM speedteirusu says:

It's OK, take a rest, I mean, you have a life to live, you obviously don't have to dedicate all your time to this flash project, it's not the end of the world if you wanna stop, we all have to enjoy life, so that when the end is near and we look back we won't have any kind of regrets.
That gif is very good. I'll wait until the next ep comes. So, Tails is gonna be a teenager, huh? I personally like him better as a kid, but I guess his teen personality would fix better to the series. I just don't want that sweet-natured and humble fox to disappear completely, OK?
Well, good luck with your projects, and enjoy your rest. We, fans of your series, will have to wait. :D

Mar. 21, 2008 | 6:13 AM Tarnish responds:

Heh, thx. :P Yeah, I have a life to live, too bad that it's pretty sh*t.. -.-
Since I wanted to make Tails look a bit taller, that comes with the consequence that he looks a bit older too. I also like him as a kid too, but at least this would be something new. :D I'll see what I can do about keeping him a 'sweet-natured and humble fox'. XD

Hey Tarnish, you're still gonna be working on "Tails On the Way of Revenge," too, right? That's a good series. I also like the way you gave Tails a more mature look. (The Sonic characters have only existed for fifteen years. You'd think they'd age by now.)

Feb. 11, 2008 | 5:24 AM Tarnish responds:

'Tails POV' I mentined above is parallel with 'Tails On the Way of Revenge', I just changed the title and decided to restart the series from the beginning..now it's called 'Tails - Pursuit of Vengeance', Tails POV for short. I said this quite many times so I'd appreciate if ppl would notice it already.
But to answer your question, yeah I'm still working on it on and off, depending if I have the mood for it or not.
And good to know at least you like the new look I gave Tails. Yeah, they exist for more than 16 years now, tho in the game's time that's a lot less. Still they should've made them change a bit as time goes by, even if not physically but in character. That's especially true for Tails. SEGA should have made him learn from his past mistakes, learn new moves (from Sonic for example or develop more of his owns), build self-confidence and demonstration desire (hope that's the right expression). Since SEGA doesn't give a sh*t about doing any of these, I decided I will.

Feb. 16, 2008 | 11:49 PM stabby51 says:

Well I hope u make it soon.
But then again an awesome tails story could take up alot of time.

Feb. 18, 2008 | 6:43 AM Tarnish responds:

Yeah, you got that right..Actually it's not the plot/story I have problems with, I have plenty of ideas for that..almost more than I can keep in mind..it's the implementation of the whole thing I'm having problems with. Since I have my own design of Tails I have to make a lot of sprites of him and Cosmo, and also some new sprites for other characters too.

Feb. 18, 2008 | 8:47 AM stabby51 says:

Well wat sprites do u have troble with.

Feb. 18, 2008 | 9:54 AM Tarnish responds:

My problem is that I can't induce myself to work on the sprites anymore.

Feb. 18, 2008 | 2:09 PM stabby51 says:

at least force urself to work on it or get help.
Not me though I cant make sprite movies.

Feb. 18, 2008 | 4:35 PM Tarnish responds:

Easy to say..I've been trying to force myself to work on my sprites since a week now, but not much luck..and I can't get help to make the sprites since I have my own style and don't think any1 could copy it..not to mention that only I know when the sprites are best for me.

Feb. 21, 2008 | 6:13 PM kingofspeed47 says:

Oh, okay. Sorry. I never saw yet that the name of the series was just changed. Like I said before though, I really like your series about Tails, the way Tails now finally has a more mature look, and I just think that you are a very creative sprite movie maker with a lot of potential. You've got more talent in your fingernail than a lot of other guys do in their whole body doubled. (Not mentioning any examples). I like what you've done so far and keep it up.

Feb. 22, 2008 | 6:30 AM Tarnish responds:

Heh, thx. :D Dunno about being a 'creative sprite movie maker', but I sure have a lot of ideas regarding Tails, which I hope to carry out in flash movies, or perhaps (not flash) games. The best would be to let SEGA see what I'm doing, but that won't happen. I may have some talent with flash, but I'm much better in designing, coming up with ideas and planing than carrying out my ideas.

Feb. 27, 2008 | 9:39 PM supertails10 says:

tails looks pretty cool i like how you gave him an older look its about time im tired of sega making him look weak like he can't fight or anything and you've completly changed that so thxand i can't wait for the third ep. and the game if it isn't out already.

Feb. 28, 2008 | 5:04 AM Tarnish responds:

Thx. :D Yeah, sometimes they make him look so young and small that it's kinda ridiculous. And how they make him look weak and stuff..there's so much more potential in him and in his twin tails that SEGA never even thought of..So I plan on changing that, giving him new moves and..well, you'll see when the my movies come out. :P
And about the game, well dunno when it'll be out, but the engine is coming along nicely thanks to SonicTHedgehogDX.

Mar. 3, 2008 | 5:54 AM Tarnish responds:

Good to know you like it. I have no clue when will it be out..gotta wait to see what the future brings..

Mar. 5, 2008 | 7:52 PM nazeres says:

All i can say is, SWEET

Mar. 8, 2008 | 10:43 AM Tarnish responds:

Guess that goes for the sprite, not for the fact that I'm taking some time off from working on my movies..

Mar. 28, 2008 | 5:24 PM xV1RUZx says:

Nice tails design

Apr. 5, 2008 | 3:17 PM Tarnish responds:

Thx. I think I 'developed' a design that suits Tails. :P

Apr. 2, 2008 | 6:33 PM chaodude123 says:

BEST TAILS SPRITE EVER and plz make next episode quicker plz cause your movies are awesome

Apr. 5, 2008 | 3:19 PM Tarnish responds:

Lol, you can't rush quality work dude. Or at least it's not worth it...imo.. XD And glad you like my Tails sprites.

Apr. 11, 2008 | 3:19 PM Bobcheese400 says:

Well I know you shouldn't delete what you have so far. But taking a break is always good. And I bet that your remakes will be one of the best flashes that I have seen, if not the best, your first ones were brilliant already. And nice work with those Tails sprites, it looks really good. Well, I can't think of anything else to say, so I'll just leave this comment....... NOW!

Apr. 12, 2008 | 5:47 AM Tarnish responds:

Don't worry, I didn't delete enything..yet.. :P Yeah I just had to take a break, to do something else...like study the usage of Swift 3D. Now I at least know how to use it and I'm finally willing to work on the remaining sprites again. Hope every1 will be satisfied with the improvements I'm making and my new style. And the effort I put into this of course. :D Well thx for the comment.

Awesome stuff dude. Tails is my favorite character and I love your series about him, it would suck if you gave up on it.

Aug. 20, 2008 | 3:54 PM Tarnish responds:

Heh, thx. Tails is my fave char too. :P I'll try not to give up.

Jul. 22, 2008 | 4:06 AM Emogal95 says:

You want to know what I think?

You are the God of Flash, that is awesome I can't wait until the 3rd one comes out.

Motivation:

DO IT!!! DO IT!!! DO IT!!!

Aug. 20, 2008 | 4:27 PM Tarnish responds:

Lol, that 'God of Flash' is a bit exaggerated don't you think? But thx. :P
