Description Hallo,

I thought I'd throw this together to tide you guys over 'till I can get back to my normal computer. Why am I not working on GOTF since I've obviously got access to Photoshop? Well, I need my reference files to do GOTF, which I can't get to. and I'd rather not have to redo half of page whatever-I'm-on-now. And hey, I'm getting lots of writing done!

Anyway, were-Tikal. Not very werehoggish really, but I like the concept a lot. I did a lot of thinking on Tikal's character in GOTF to come to this, and she's turning into a really interesting person; Tikal's actions are governed by her emotions, in sharp contrast to Sonic who stifles his feeling while following his moral senses. She does kind and selfless things because it's what she wants to, not out of a sense of obligation. This means her will is extremely strong, though she is naturally shy when out of her rather limited range of experience. In her werehog form, her selfish side takes over and paired with that will, she's a scary lady. She becomes completely self-absorbed and defensive, which masks her extremely insecure core. She probably uses her knowledge of healing powers to inflict surgically-accurate and deadly attacks on her opponents in combat.

I thought an octopus would work well to illustrate this, as they're very mysterious, unsettling, and inscrutable creatures. Also, the water element ties into her connection with Chaos. Aaaand I really wanted to draw her hair as tentacles.

Enjoy!

Absolutely loving these! I might give them all a go once I get Photoshop back in working order. Keep 'em coming - these are such an interesting concept. I'm liking the 'base nature' sort of thing - it's something that deserves more development. Very nice!

Yeah... I'm just imagining her jumping around singing "Poor Unfortunate Souls". And now she's singing it in Fluttershy's voice. Dammit.

So many 'creepy' comments. Honestly, I think there's a strange beauty to this form. The lighting is gorgeous, with the bright light above on the top of her head symbolizing her normal more 'pure' self, then that leads down to the inky blackness where her monstrous form lurks.

Extremely well done.

I like how much thought you put behind your choice for Tikal. I'm not much familiar with her as a character but your little tidbit of information abled me to see more about her dimensionally. Everything here is sound and the art and concept is wonderful.

I'm sorry for asking but...G(host) O(f) T(he) F(uture) Scourge the hedgehog? I don't remember Scourge making a appearance, unless your counting your GOTF-verse Sonic as Scourge, since they are both counterparts.

If you put Scourge in your GOTF comic, if it's not too much trouble can you put a link to his appearance?

P.S. Good luck on fixing that messed up computer of yours.
