"How to elevate your cartoon animal drawings 101"

I have noticed that

Yeah, I'm glad there is something to remind people that there is another way than just the porn you see on FA.

To be fair, this site is heavy with the R rated subject matter, finding good G to PG rated artists takes a bit more work to find and emulate.

I'm not talking like porn is bad for being porn, there is just a bubble where people emulate what they see. And when what they see every day is other people emulating the stuff on FA they like and then they emulate it etc etc it all starts to run together. It's good to throw a new ingredient into the mix from outside the furry web bubble.

There is a limit. As in for this, reptiles and birds get the shaft because they were not featured, and then there's this fight over "stop drawing human dicks and boobs and start drawing real animal dicks" from certain people, as if we need to go to the feral side

yeah, but you can use that same "pushed-shapes" design and exaggerated proportions and such to get similar designs for reptiles and birds. its not necessarily a zootopia-disney thing, but rather that, Zootopia instigated a surge of design-conscious furry characters recently. as for the human animal penis thing? to each their own, but me personally i dont like some animal penises because...........i dunno, dog penis look like someone ripped the skin off a dick and you can now see all the...red flesh and blue veins.......shiver......just me though......

Understandable, I just remember people mentioning that because they left them out, that reptiles and birds would be a confusing matter

Same, I prefer human shaped penises on my stuff, but I do remember some person saying that "because humans never existed, that human penises shouldn't exist" (even though they can evolve to have human parts). But yes, I prefer to see human shlongs on anything male related, even zootopia related stuff (but, if a picture does have a animal part, let's say wolves/bears/ect, but the image is done well, then it gets a pass by me)

I've heard other people make the same observation comparing dog and human dicks. I think it actually makes a lot of sense, anatomically speaking. Considering the different roles the mammalian sheath plays comparatively with dogs and humans.

I think the more alien traits of animals like this work better on aliens or monsters. Something rooted in a fictional context, where the shape of the creature is justified by a literal part of the fiction. Where as human dicks work really well on something cartoony, where the animal-people element is just glossed over and accepted as a given.

The mixture to which you use more or less human, animal, or other characteristics really varies based on the feel you're going for. Season to taste.

i agree.....until its ALL the general disney designs.................but i am ok with that :P

made them cost efficient

Agreed

AGREED! THey're basically animals standing upright and i enjoy that! I still enjoy the "blacksad" anthro styles tho~

its a good medium. i dont know, i saw those Orangina commercials recently..............some of them SPOOKED me.............like the goat..........and that CHEETAH!



lol

50/50 in my opinion, but you do have a point
