Description
Made myself this merging Tikal's designs over the years (since her design changes whenever she makes an appearance, if she ever gets to appear somewhere in the series ), so I don't get confused when drawing her.

  I tried to keep her hair bands arrangement and number from her model in Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2, her sprites from Sonic Pinball Party and Chao Search, her Sonic Channel illustration and her art for Sonic Runners butadded two more on her back-left as in her Sonic Channel art and Sonic Runners art and model and balanced the height of the ones on the front-right like in her Sonic Runners art and model. So they are all put in symmetric arrangement.
  Used Sonic Channel’s arm bracelets design and Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2’s arm bracelet placement (both arms).
  The number of turns her sandal’s laces make are as in her Sonic Runners art and model.
  Kept the necklace design from Yuji Uekawa’s known Tikal sketch for Sonic Adventure.
Made my own colour palette.

Edit: changed her feet since they looked rather weird.

Things I considered:
· She always has 6 dreadlocks that become larger as they reach her back. Unlike Knuckles, she lacks the seventh which is shorter that the rest of them.
· In Sonic Adventure, Sonic Adventure 2, Sonic Pinball Party and Chao Search minigame she has 3 pairs of hair bands: two on her front-right dreadlock which are lower than the others, two on her front-left dreadlock at the height of her muzzle and eye and two on her back-right dreadlock in a height between the others mentioned. This changes in her Sonic Channel illustration where she now has a pair on her back-left dreadlock and the height of the front-right’s is almost the same as in her front-left’s. This happens too in Sonic Runners but now her front-right’s is at the same height as her front-left’s.
· The arrangement of her sandal’s laces are the same in Sonic Adventure and Sonic Adventure 2 but changes in Sonic X and then in Sonic Runners.
· Her arm bracelets texture is difficult to observe in her Sonic Adventure/2 renders; they have ring-shapped motifs in Sonic X (where she only wears 1) and in Sonic Runners renders.
· The spaces between her neckalce’s sections are wider in her Sonic Channel art than in her Sonic Runners renders.
· She’s always seen using what appears to be a tube top except in her new Sonic Runners art and in Sonic X where she uses a camisole.
· Her Sonic Runners model is inconsistent; it doesn’t match her art for that same game so I discarded it as a reference. There she appears to lack an arm bracelet on her left arm and wears a tube top instead of a camisole.
