Two Toed Feet
12 years ago
Yo, most of you who watch me have probably noticed that nearly all my characters have two toed feet; and possibly a few might be wondering why, so I figured I'd write a journal on it.
A long time ago, around 2001, I came across a picture from an Artist I believe was called E.L, who had a lot of pics of dolphins and other cetaceans, one of which, was an Orca called Mondo; who had two toed feet. And something tickled me about it, their size, they looked super strong; then I started going back into a game I had played for years, the Mortal Kombat series; and I've always found Goro to be attractive, also he had two toed feet.
Something about them seems to radiate power, strength, domination; it sounds stupid I'm sure. But I find two toed feet far hotter than any other foot out there. So, its kinda my calling card for my characters, since its also fairly rare.
That being said, recently, a few people have told me, whether be it Halulu, or Kyu, or Jai, ect, that the feet kind of weird them out.
So that being said, how many out there LIKE two toed feet? How many out there are indifferent? How many people think they're weird and get kinda put off, and how many people out there find them a deal breaker?
Thanks for the input, I wont be offended no matter what the reply!

*facepalms and lol!* Oh my holy goodness... those pics of Mondo... I commished those from him:P pretty much all the phin art he did from 98 til 2000 was commishes from me, with about 3 or 4 exceptions:P
dear mother sea, what have I done?:P
lol! hey, glad I could help:)
I believe EL didn't want them too massive to distract from the rest of the image; besides, as an orca, they may have been partially internal too;)
On the two toes, well, you know, they're different. There's nothing about them which strikes me as dislikeable, but their shape is so foreign in comparison to my favorite they don't stick prominent in my brain or provide the immediate response plantigrade provide for me. I'd be a liar if I said I had a lot of experience in that though, like you said, two-toes is fairly rare.
Seriously though, I guess it is kinda obvious that I love two-toed stompers however I also really like 5-toed feet. Everything inbetween is fine for me as long as it is drawn well and fits the character.
Personally I prefer four or five toed characters, its a hard thing to describe in a meaningful way though. For me I feel that four or five toes represent strength more than two or three toes.
