'deformed'

[Krazed Kitsune]

Most posters here have seen both SatAM and Sonic X, right?
SatAM's character designs, outside of Sonic and Tails themselves, were realistic and the limbs were proportioned properly.
But Sonic X is making me wonder....
Why does Tails, who is a fox, and foxes have small paws, have huge hands? SatAM's Tails never did.
Also, why, WHY do they make Tails' butt big? I know almost every japanese anime has some form of sexual appeal (even Neon Genesis did!), but did they have to try doing that to Tails?
His feet in Sonic Heroes are huge. About Sonic's size, and he's much shorter than the speedster.

Can't Sonic Team just design characters properly? They should work with the Sonic Heroes' design for Tails-- his backside isn't as big as in Sonic X, for one thing. They only need to make his shoes/feet and hands smaller.
Yes, I'm picky. So what?

I think its because nowadays, they want to appeal to the younger age, and so they make it seem more... cartoonish. I liked the old styles better though... -deep sigh-

[Albino Fox]

Ever notice that he'd really look pretty normal if you just increased his torso size? Perhaps doubled it?

It's no wonder his torso is always somewhat bigger when I draw him. It's my style to make things seem somewhat realistic. (In case you're wondering though, my avatar's by Darkflame AKA Tsunamidusher.)

[Tails]

I agree with Albino Fox. In the pictures you see from Sonic Adventure (eg. the wallpapers and stuff), my torso is about 1/8 the size of my head, I swear! When I draw myself, I try and keep it proportional. (tailsthekitsune.deviantart.com, and tails.digibase.ca/fan/fanart/tails) in case you wanna see! ^_^ I hope SonicTeam and Sega and so forth adopt a better-looking art style for meh eventually.

Tails also has a gut too. If you haven't noticed, between Sonic, Tails, Knuckles, Amy, Cream, Shadow and Rouge, Tails is the fattest.

[glow=purple,2,300]I could deal with the other stuff fine enough...I grew up with that art...but...Tails isn't supposed to be fat...that's just disturbing...[/glow]

He doesn't go out often...

Yes, is true! and the italian dubbing is very orrible

[Krazed Kitsune]

I think it was just meant to be 'puppy-fat' (No jokes about the fact he's a fox, not a dog, please!). Probably to make him even cuter.

He does get out quite a bit, really. He must do a lot more excercise than we see him doing.
