I so love Thom, and I think he's darling as "Tina" as well! I really like how in all the artwork of him in his "Tina" garb, there are still signs that he's male, like his shoulders and hands. So many manga/anime style artists are accused of drawing guys so feminine they're indistinguishable from girls. You do a fantastic job showing the Thom in "Tina" while still making him look adorable!

Thank you so much~! This comment made my day, because I was so worried in how to present Thom as Tina at first. I wanted him to still look like Thom, and just keep the clothes, hair,and make-up feminine. I've also known a few cross-dressers in my life ^_____^ (including myself). I think having some real drag queens and transgenders as friends helped in my inspiration for Thom because it comes from the heart. They all have a unique beauty and charm of their own.
I agree with you that often times in manga the men can be a bit too effeminate, and I personally like a definate distinction between the sexes and characters when I draw them. Everyone has their little quirks I try to subtly bring out in their design, from the style of clothes they wear, their stance, all the way to an impish smirk on their face. Thom is still going to be Thom no matter what he chooses to wear ^^

I'm delighted to have made your day! Your effort and experience are evident in your drawings of Thom as Tina. It's clear that your inspiration, as you said, "comes from the heart." Tina definitely conveys that unique beauty and charm you described while remaining truly Thom.
