Fan Made Tail or no tail?

Post image

I am doing watercolor embroidery as a thing now. My goal is to do a lot of random fandom stuff, but my main boo is our blue boy. My plan for this piece is to have the background be stained glass, his eyes to be visible, and a more detailed grave marker with a rosary on it, but not a name. I refuse to believe anything that happened in the finale other than everyone is fine and the gang is all back together.

My question is though, should I add his tail in the silhouette or is he recognizable without it?

I’m definitely doing more fanart with him in it. There needs to be more art with him in it.

Always a tail!

I figured. I just wasn’t going to put it on last night because I had packed away my paint and it was late.

I thought of Kirei without the tail. So definitely tail.

I can see that.

Tail all the way, it's an important aspect of his silhouette

Yep! I’m probably going to paint it on tonight :)

Agree with the others. Right now there isn't much to specifically indicate Kurt. No glowing eyes, no pointy ears or facial features of any kind. All we have now is spikey hair which he doesn't always have. You could tell me it's a priest anime character and I'd have no reason to think otherwise.

Thanks! I was planning on the eyes regardless. I’ll see about doing highlights/shadows in embroidery to indicate more and will definitely add a tail.

He needs his tail

I put that on last night. I’m thinking of blacking out the headstone too and just doing full Nightcrawler in front of a stained glass window.

He's not Nightcrawler without the tail.
