Shirou from BNA

My current pet peeve in furry art: artists drawing Shirou Oogami with wrong fur patterns ;__; one would've thought that furries know how to draw him by now, but they still get him wrong. It might be that I myself like to get things as accurate as possible (struggled with the patterns for my Feral Jon pic cos of this) so it bothers me, but eegdfghdf
Anyway, Shirou's body isn't two-toned, it's all white. He only has turquoise fur on his head, hair, and the end portion of the tail. You can see him naked in the last episode (12) of BNA and in some earlier episodes too, but yeah the last ep got the best ref for him in full.
I don't mind if artists use each other's ways of drawing a character if there's no official ref, like uh I mentioned Jon Talbain and we've never seen how his fur patterns go below his mid section so there's many ways fans do his patterns, but yeeah in Shirou's case there IS official material to take lead from to get him drawn accurately.
dumb uuuuh rant(??) over lmao x3 does this sorta stuff bother anyone else?

And don't even get me started on drawing buttholes in the right place - a lot of people put them way too low.
So yes, artistic gaffs do bother me - you aren't alone there.

Off model markings and structure is unfortunately a personal pet peeve of mine as well. You'd be surprised to learn not only is WereGarurumon drawn off-model fairly often, but usually his stripe placement is depicted completely wrong in fan arts;

And yeah I definitely struggle with Weregarurumon lmao, his head always gives me trouble, and I just can't get his wacky-digimon-anatomy-proportion arms drawn properly haha
