hmmn, interesting thought. good point too.

D:/ I dunno, but if we draw the animals as humans they might have more certain humanistic features such as sweating through fur. (that's how I'd draw it anywho) *shrugs* I guess it's all dependent on your style.

Makes sense. ^_^
Thank you for commenting. :D <3

I once debated this issue with someone, and got essentially nowhere with her. Neither of us could come to a middle ground. I suppose it depends on the morph's level of human chromosome as to whether or not he/she has sweat glands on his/her body skin.

Indeed, the fur would become clustered and spiny the same way a dog/cat's fur does when drenched with water. Good point.

Makes sense...
It would be really uncomfortable though.. o.O
Also, there is salt in sweat, so when they'd dry off they would have all this salt stuck in their fur making their skin all dry and ichy. xD

Hi there. I love pondering little technical problems/issues like this. Animals were never meant to be humanoid so they are perfectly designed to live as animals. And when the animal is converted into an intelligent, walking upright morph, the migration usually doesn't go over too well. For instance, dogs must pant to cool off but how would a canine morph ever have an intelligible conversation with anyone if he has to be almost constantly panting like dogs do. If he sweats through the skin then you're right about the matted, yucky fur. How could anybody live like that all the time? Of course, discarding realism for the sake of artistic expression and freedom of imagination is the road most taken. I prefer more realism so this kind of stuff bothers me sometimes but that's just the way of art, I guess.

Very true! I guess talking with your tongue hanging out of your mouth wouldn't work too well, would it? xD
I guess it really does just depend on the artist, and how they wish to express certain things. One could emphasize heat by putting sweat drops, or embarrassment with blushing. Just as a cartoonist will make eye pop out when they see a train coming, or keep running even though they have no more ground to run on.

Thanks for the comment!! :D

Ha ha, there's another thing. If a furry was blushing, how would you know? :)
(for some species, I suppose you could say their ears blush. That's how I usually indicate it in the stories that I write, or I simply say blushed and leave exactly how to the reader's imagination.)
