More funny animal anatomy commentary
5 years ago
Although it looks like all of my other journals have either expired or didn't make it when FurAffinity changed up its look. Oh well.
Anyway, I like hooves on anthropomorphic horses and other ungulates, I mean, hooves are pretty iconic and I appreciate them. That said, for people who can't stand humanoid feet on an equine creature: you know giving a horseperson fingers but not toes is inconsistent, right? I assume the only reason that doesn't bug more people is because it's an artistic convention of furries that's been taken for granted for so long that nobody thinks to question it.

All that said, the loud *clop-clop* of hooves is kinda scary for smaller creatures such as norns, so in that sense the plantigrade feet are appreciated. Still weird to see toes on a horse, though. I've seen some have a sort of halfway approach and that's perhaps more appealing aesthetically.
