the golden tails are just like a stripe, if you look they have it running down their backs as well. its just a different color fur.
I'm working on a HUUUUGE sprite right now, I've been working since 5:30 pm today and its now 9:15 and I'm not even done with the outline! It will still be a few hours before I even finish the outline, and after that I've got some shading I need to do! and if your wondering what I'm spriting, lets just say its My favorite pokemon, and ****ing Manly as ****, and is fully evolved. I cant wait to show you guys the outline because I'm very pleased with it so far!
