To our LGBTQIA+ staff, community, friends, and family, thank you. You are beautiful as you are, and you are loved.

The world is better and brighter with you in it and we're so glad you're here. We're proud to share space with you.

Thorntails are based on fat-tailed geckos, Leopard geckos and other such little guys who keep a chunk of their fat deposits in their tails. That makes the tail thin at the base and tip but chunky in the middle:

It's more noticeable in the f pose, because it's in a simple vertical flight motion and has pretty static and discernible forms.

But!! You can still see where in the m pose the belly/hips end and the tail begins

They got a round belly that is accentuated by the curve at the base of the tail! But because the right foot is RIGHT in front of the base of the belly, it's hard to see at a glance and you may have to zoom in to notice.

So how does it work with Sailfin?

Sailfin is placed right in the middle line of the body, all across the neck, sternum, stomach and tail. (Theoretically it would go right over the cloaca but We Don't Think About That.) So, being a silhouette-breaking tert, it covers a small part of the belly that we usually see in that pose, but it still follows the shape of the body really well imo. Here's roughly the part of the stomach that's hidden behind the tert--

-- and here's where in the body it's placed, behind the right foot that's covering it:

In conclusion: It's pretty well-placed, if awkwardly obscured by that foot that mucks everything up.
