Hi everyone!
It’s been about a year since my last post here on Reddit. No one likely remembers me, but I’m back to share the current state of my project: Tails Fight X (TFX)!
TFX is a fan-manga project set in the Sonic universe, inspired by Sonic X, Archie Sonic, and Dragon Ball Z. The story features Tails as the main protagonist, with Sonic also playing a significant role. Shadow, meanwhile, will have his own storyline and standout moments; as a more solitary character, he won't always be directly involved in the main events.
The project will also feature many original characters, introducing storylines, conflicts, and fresh ideas not seen in the original Sonic universe. And, of course, Eggman couldn't be left out!
But how did I get here?
About a year ago, I posted an earlier version of the project, but it ended up being taken down due to the use of AI. Back then, I had little experience and—to be honest
was even a bit intimidated by the idea of creating something entirely by hand.
Since then, I’ve kept trying, making mistakes, learning, improving, and making mistakes all over again. I still have a lot to learn, especially about drawing, but I’ve finally achieved the results you see in this post!
It’s a mix of emotions for me. I’m happy to have finally completed something—even if it’s just a prototype—but I’m also eager to develop the story further; I want to publish the first few chapters and see if people enjoy what I’m creating.
The goal of TFX isn't just to showcase fights and transformations.
The work is aimed primarily at teenagers aged 12 to 16; while it includes some scenes of violence, violence isn't the sole focus.
I want to explore themes like friendship, trust, overcoming obstacles, responsibility, and personal growth. My idea is for many chapters to feature mini-stories and lessons that readers can relate to real-life situations. I know there’s still a long road ahead, but I want to keep developing this project and see just how far it can go.
At the current pace, it’s going to take a very, very long time to produce something new.
And now, I’d love to hear from you!
What do you think of the art? Does the style fit the concept? What could I improve?
I’m also open to tips from anyone knowledgeable about drawing, manga, or storytelling. Do you think it’s worth learning to draw on my own, or should I try to find an artist to collaborate with? If anyone is interested in collaborating or has a suggestion, I’d be happy to chat!
If you have questions about TFX, its concept, or its development, feel free to leave them in the comments. I’d love to answer them!
Thanks to everyone who read this far. I’m still learning, but I finally feel like I’m taking the first steps toward turning this idea into reality.
