Even though Tails is my favorite character, I don't often post pics of Tails that much...
I guess that's usually because what I wanna see is something cool and awesome and epic, and I wanna see TAILS being cool and awesome and epic. But most of the art for Tails is likely to emphasize him looking cute or whatever... Which is understandable I guess...

>By the way, how would you write Tails surpassing Sonic?
Hmm... Actually, now that I think about it, I guess I haven't given that as much thought lately, beyond the abstract concept of it...
Well, the starting point would have to be where Tails is at the end of the Adventure games. SA1 had him racing Sonic and outpacing him through his flight until he had to face Eggman 1 on 1 in Station Square without Sonic. SA2 took that specific turning point a step further by having Tails going mech-for-mech against Eggman with the climax being Sonic's "death" where Sonic outright says he's counting on Tails to finish this for him.
In order to actually follow up on where the Adventure games left off, the status quo has to be that Tails has effectively become a second Sonic. "Sonic 2", even... Anyway, meaning that he has proven that he can not only keep up, but possibly outpace Sonic in speed, and out-smart Eggman in the mech department. Tails has proven to be a legitimate rival for Doctor Eggman, especially. So where Sonic may go on to face even greater titans, it would be Tails who now faces Eggman on a regular basis by himself.
But that's only reaching Sonic's level. In order to truly "surpass" Sonic, he has to transcend that very status quo. The core conflict of the series between Sonic & Eggman, on both sides, has to be directly challenged by Tails. To surpass both Sonic and Eggman at the exact same time... By finding whatever kernel of truth may exist in Eggman's ambitions, and unify that with the philosophy of Sonic's life, to do what neither side ever could and change the world.
