I think I might become addicted to making fursuits and pieces of them. I've got my next in mind -- based on a raccoon. I started researching raccoon anatomy and was (pleasantly) surprised at the degree of similarity between raccoon and human skeletal architecture. When 'coons stand on their hind feet, for example, they are flat-footed, and their hind feet are generally human-shaped, so I don't have to create an optical illusion of digitigrade feet for plantigrade users -- my raccoon will always walk on his hind feet While their fore-paws do not have opposable thumbs, their toes look like five fingers, so the forepaws will be easier than my fox (I made "gloves" for that with 4 stubby-looking toes my five fingers filled).
The skull is very similar to the fox (for my purposes), but with a shorter snout, and the eyes are solid black -- if I want realistic ones I don't have to detail pupils, irises, and sclera. I think black eyes will work better for the character anyway, so I'm happy with that.
The rib cage looks rounder and more human like than canine rib cages, too ....
