Little correction, the first link under Bitcoon is the same as the last one under Higsby.
Also I'd like to share a few pawsome finds of my own:
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/20547923/ Big 3D vixen paw, I really love the look and shape of that one
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/20561117/ Great view of some humanesque feet on Lupe the Wolf
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/20572824/ Some massive Perry dog feet, very nice shape
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/20558747/ Big toony feet of a certain modern bobcat
Nice! The render looks like it has some real promise for very big meaty soles. Like the sole wrinkles on the second one. I watch Perenthis, so saw that - definitely a nice shape to how the paws are. That often highlights a bit of a debate I have in my head when making these - Do I show rough sketch work or wait for a more finished pic? Often it comes down to what the sketch is showing - itf it's really well done and showing some sole (like Teasel's) then I'll add it in. In this case, it wasn't an overly revealing sketch so didn't quite make the cut. Toony feet on the last one are nice too - nice big toes and a big sole pad. I'll have to stick these in next week's for ya. :)
And ooooh... that is cool! Added it to the Paw-Post for anyone that's not seen it yet! I'm sure he'll be THRILLED at the extra attention.

Very much enjoying Doublescale's work still! https://www.furaffinity.net/view/20520618/ and https://www.furaffinity.net/view/20532829/ both very good for causing Doreysquirms.
Azura's https://www.furaffinity.net/view/20530194/ is of course adorable and sweet.
https://www.furaffinity.net/view/20548288/ is one of my favourites from ZP92 in a while... which is obviously a pretty high bar to begin with! I love that view so much. ^^
And obviously Zra's feets by TideKeeper... https://www.furaffinity.net/view/20558772/ I mean... just... jeez. <3
Thank you for the feature! ^^ I've never done much with bird feets before, so it was fun getting to play around with so many different designs for 'em.
Aaaaaaaand the highlight was hilarious fun. XD First time you've ever had such an unwilling participant, I think... but really funny to read! Poor guy, hopefully he'll come around in time... and erm, not break free and try to murder us all. XD
And good favourite pics again! With the ZP92 one, that could SO easily be Dorey-feets being all teasing and grabby too, which was one of the first things I thought of when I saw the colours. :3 And of course... Zra's super-sexy soles are what got you into trouble in Tyria in the first place. XD Was cool to be able to get such a gloriously detailed picture of them.
I have no doubt that your talent for coming up with creative footwear will not only render more interesting birdfeet stuff but all sorts of creative designs. *pokes* You know, that might be a neat commission idea to try with folks.
The highlight was great fun! That was so, so funny - I didn't think Smawgy was going to be too thrilled about it, but Foxy assured me I would not be killed as a result. Smawgy is, after all, being punished for all the bad stuff he did in his prior life. XD
Footwear designs are certainly something I'm willing to do as commissions! Obviously, as that was the first actual commission I've ever done. ^^ I'm still working on typing up an actual 'terms of service' sort of thing, so will slowly be working on getting myself more 'officially' opened for commissions. Footwear projects like that will obviously be some of the biggest and most involved things I'd do, but they are fun. :)
Glad Foxy was able to offer you that assurance. ;) And yeah, given that it is all punishment for his past crimes... it honestly doesn't seem -that- horrible a fate compared to other alternatives!
Well, if you get that all sorted out, please let me know beforehand and I'll gladly plug it in the next-up Paw-Post for ya! I think lots of folks would have an interest in that. :)
Here's a thought with Smawgy though - sure, it's not that bad a fate but... if he starts to enjoy paws, then does the punishment turn into a reward? ;)
And indeed, one does wonder! Sure seems like a fate I'd do alright with. XD
I really like the idea of having a visual guide for the different paw types... maybe with a 2D pawprint-view, and a more "3D" render of the same foot for each type? :0
Thanks so much for the feature! :'D I had so much fun with Zra's pawsies~
I really like Garnetto's feature; there's so much energy to the character, plus those neon pawpads pop really really nicely against the more natural tones! Such a cool design~
My favorite for this entry is Kero_Tzuki's feature though; the pose, the textures, the colours, the design, omg~ Such a beautiful piece! So much attention to detail...and the details really sell the overall look of the character. Beautifully done~ :'3
