my fave thing about tai lung is that he's so mad the entire movie that he didnt get chosen as the dragon warrior but when he finally sees that it was given to an incompetent guy instead he's not mad anymore he's like ykw? thats funny as fuck actually
one of the reasons i wish tai lung's development would've been done better is that him and tigress having the same character development towards po is so cute :'/
Chapter 5 of Traces of Spring is out! Po tries to help Tai Lung and uh, Tai Lung and Tigress have a meaningless conversation that isn't going to have wider ramifications in the story at all.

in the director's commentary for kfp2 they mention po has trouble expressing himself cause men are usually afraid of being vulnerable and i think its genuinely so fun how po's exemple of masculinity and stoicism is tigress. smiles
Chapter 8 of Traces of Spring out! In which Tigress is in dire need of medical attention and Tai Lung witnesses something new.

there's something so fun and awesome about every villain in kung fu panda being downright evil and with malicious plans for the future and tai lung is just a dude with bpd
why does he seek external validation through material objects even though true happiness can only be achieved through an internal sense of awareness and satisfaction with your circumstances? is he stupid?
there's a piece of tai lung concept art in the art book where his tail is long to the point being being genuinely stupid and i really wish they kept it in
look at him 😭
@nehezt
i feel like he would freak out more if po dated tai lung
"ARE YOU KIDDING ME, HE NEARLY KILLED YOU, Why not that nice monkey fellow, he always loved my noodles!!!"
there's also this interesting early character line up and it seems that
1) tigress was originally a bit taller than po OR the size of her model is just incidentally bigger. either way: remember what they took from you
2) look at how much tigress and tai lung have grown omg🥺
muscle and joint pain has been stopping my from working on the comic everyday _(:3」∠)_ i apologize but this chapter is going to take a while. small preview as compensation
finished coloring and started lighting, which is the most tedious/time consuming part. gonna give a conservative estimate and say chapter 11 might come out late september/early october
