im all for angst, but sometimes i like thinking about an ending where tsu's actually happy with how things turned out! something about her finally getting to lie down and rest after all that hard work is just a really nice thought
I wanted to ask since you're doing Special Peko sprites, can you make some sprites with her holding a katana in a fighting stance? If that's too complicated maybe her with more wounded/injured sprites cause the first ones were REALLY good!
Please don't try to piggyback off someone else's requests in the future. That's incredibly rude to me and the person requesting the other sprites. But regardless, here's some fighting stance Pekos.
Edit: I hate being stupid, I missed a few spots and didn't even realize it.
I don't think she'll react THIS harshly, but if she did, I could see Tangle and Whisper tracking her down. A nice moment for all of them to truly bond, and a chance for Lanolin to see that she is valued by her team.
I think what really sets the new Diamond Cutters apart from most Sonic teams is the fact that we get to see them BECOME and team and go through new team conflicts.
Teams like Team Rose and Team Dark, those guys may of not started off as a team, but action/adventure video games don’t always have the budget for great gameplay, pretty cutscenes, AND action-packed plot that also has a subplot of team drama.
And teams like the Chaotix and the Babylon Rouges were created to work together. They have a pre-determined close bond and an undeniable compatibility with each other.
All of the Sonic teams before the Diamond Cutters were originally created to just be groups of fun video game characters first and foremost, not tell a story.
NOW on the flip side, Tangle, Whisper, and Lanolin are comic book originals. Story is the whole point.
But these gals were created separately from each other and have developed differently throughout the comic, before it was decided that they become a team. That’s something unique that the writers get to take advantage of when creating this new team’s dynamic.
Also, Whisper and Lanolin have their own baggage, and personal motives, that they’re bringing with them to the team that’s going to clash with the other’s.
IDW Sonic is taking the opportunity that the games don’t really have, and not have this squad be perfectly in sync. Why? Because they can. It’s a storytelling medium first and foremost, it’s their job to create drama for the sake of drama. It’s a story, so let’s tell stories dang it!
To sum up, the new Diamond Cutters definitely have some team-bonding to do, but that’s on purpose. Personally, I think it’s super neat that we get the chance to see the ups, the downs, and hopefully, the growth.
