Heya!

I'm Silvia/CosmicTailz (call me whichever one you want, I won't bite), and this is my funny little site! It's nothing too special, just a place for me to dump notes every now and then, tied together with a bit of basic-ish CSS to make it look nice. I'm too lazy to implement responsive design, so if you're viewing this site on a tall screen, I'd recommend rotating your device sideways.

Who am I? What do I do?

This is the part where I ramble on about myself and what I do. You'd better appreciate that I wrote this, because I don't talk about myself that much (mostly because I suck at recalling what I do). If you're still reading this and haven't clicked on something or scrolled away, I'll assume that you do.

So, who am I? Well, I'm Silvia, duh! Who did you think I was? I'm a gay little random encounter who makes things and floats around on the internet. If you're lucky, you might spot me somewhere! I'm a bit shy and often find myself unable to talk to people out of fear of coming off as awkward or scary, so don't take it personally if I seem a bit silent towards you.

If I had to sum up myself in a couple words, it'd be "amateur thingdoer" — one of those isn't a real word, but you get the point. Anyways, to be more specific: I draw stuff, remix and compose music, program games and stuff, and occasionally make funny little videos that I show to the world. You can find most of what I do on my Bluesky page, where I like to babble on about random things from time to time.

To be completely honest, I'm not very good at coming up with how to describe myself as a person, so hopefully the art in this next part will suffice. A picture can say a thousand words a lot better than I can!

My sona!

This is my sona, whom I often refer to as "me" since it's usually how I envision/represent myself, although I (unfortunately) don't really share very many visual similarities irl apart from being bipedal. It's more of a reflection of my personality than anything else about me, really.

The design derives from Tails the Fox (hence the username), and used to look very similar, but over the years I've made a TON of changes since I wanted it to be my own thing rather than a simple Sonic OC. The colour palette ALSO comes from a Sonic game, more specifically SRB2Kart's "Azure" character colours. I originally used the entire palette, but now only one colour is 1:1 with it. The rest are either slightly tweaked or are colours that I've picked out myself.

Originally, my sona used to be a lot more thin, and I often didn't draw it very happy since it was mostly during my "ugh" era. It also had a mohawk made of long, pentagonal tufts, a hoodie with a galaxy stock image slapped onto it Chowder-style, and only two tails. There were a couple times where I drew a genderbent version of my sona during this period, which honestly made me question myself, and eventually lead to me coming out as trans! Shortly after this, I changed the hoodie design to a trans flag, and got rid of half of the pentagonal hair tufts while making the remaining ones flop down in front of the left eye a bit, with one being dyed to trans flag colours.

I began experimenting with the design and shape for the next few months and, me being the easily-impressionable kid I was back then, occasionally slipping in some larger proportions to garner attention. This habit also ended up biting me in the ass a couple times. I later started embracing rounder body shapes, different hair styles and clothing, and the next few years were spent trying to balance things out. It wasn't until recently (as of writing this) that I managed to find something I was happy with, and that's mostly because I don't draw nearly as frequently as I used to.
