A Valid point indeed :3

True...even more so with Felina, who looked didn't look like she belonged at all.

But now I'm just being CATTY.

Yeah, I remember me and  befpraizy were having this conversation one time (funny enough, Swatkats was an example he brought up). However, I also remember it having a lot more depth to it as well

Your statement is rather ironic there. Since Turmoil, a female villain in Swat Kats, was the most human looking character in the entire show.

The nostalgia... @_@

Same thing for Yordles in League of Legends, definitely wierd.

That is true. XD

Actually done for sex appeal, while reserving more feral details for characters we're not supposed to empathize for in the same way.

Coincidentally the furry fandom surfaced just earlier

Yes infact I have noticed that :3

I noticed this too. This is why no one will ever convince me that these characters were not meant to be found attractive or flat-out arousing. There's no denying they were. :3

isnt polly part robot or something?

Yeah. All the characters in Samurai Pizza Cats are pretty much furry cyborgs. Not sure the reason behind the cyborg part but still cool either way in my eyes.

depends on the show. The Sonic the Hedgehog, Disney, and Warner Brothers shows for the most part were across the board consistent. The only shows that really did that. Were Chip and Dale Rescue Rangers, Swat Kats, and Samurai pizza cats, Thundercats, and Biker Mice from Mars. and thats is just off the top of my head.

But both Thundercats and BMFM had anatomically accurate males. And I do believe Disney is the one who started it, with The Great Mouse Detective

Didn't know movies counted. But ok.

because we love bewbs, that's why

its oooh sooo true~

lol'd.

It begiiiins!

Kind of think it was what they thought the age range would like in their characters. Younger audiences had cuter characters that tended to have similar levels of anthropomorphism usually actually looking close to their animal counterpart. Seemed once you started getting to the older audiences they wanted to make the female characters more seductive especially if they were heroes and the male characters more badass and strong so they kept more of the animalistic traits. Guess it also was to help with telling the difference between the genders. *shrugs*

Especially sexy, too.

I did notice that.
In fact, that's probably part of why, until recently, I didn't realize that Polly Esther had a feline nose and thought that she was just the one or two characters that had a wholly human face.

its an attraction factor

we men (sounds like women xD) are so "bestial"

Totally did. It's their fault I now draw anthros in general.

It's a neat convention that runs from the very earliest days of furry cartoons. I mean, just look at the difference between Roger and Jessica rabbit (lol)
Actually I think my favorite example of this is in the comic Black Sad, which you should totally google image right now. The men are really full-anthro and the women are much more humanlike, it creates a neat dynamic. I'm pretty happy with using the convention as long as I'm aware that's what I'm doing. ^w^

My God!

Its all about the beauty and the beasts, though I totally have to agree with this. Also adrob work on Polly and Callie

thanks, i had wanted to draw Polly with out her armor to make this a bit more casual, like she just bumped into Callie while on a delevery, but i couldn't find any good ref pics

any of the pointless sisters outfits online?

I always got some around if you need them, essentially she'd wearing some neat kimonos and tomboyish clothes and other sorts.

nice i like this idea^^ and it's true^^ Big Cheese actually looks like a fox since he is one and Polly looks more like a human cat mix with a cat nose and ears and tail

You know what? I never noticed... your right, Speedy and Guido had more cat faces than Polly
awesome Job on the cute kitty cats!!!

I noticed for swat cats but is did not noticed for SPC till now...

Nice!

YES!

*LOL* This is actually kinda funny; thanks for sharing!

Its kinda like Mavericks in the Megaman X series...

All the BIG BADS have to be human, the lower echelon mavs are either animals or simple machines.

I believe they made them more human, so they could play up the sex appeal, for those poor, lonely animators XD

And that they have more porn than the males... not that I'm complaining.

Noticed that too, huh?

Also, love how Callie looks here; Swat Kats, ftw.

An interesting cliche, from back in the day! XD

Didn't know Swat Cats & Samurai Pizza Cats were specifically furry shows. Guess I've lived a lie throughout my childhood.

Anime and manga artists tend to be all about them humans, and so struggle to draw furries (especially when it's a female and they just want to draw a cute human girl instead). In the West, that's more often laziness than anything else.

It's funny cuz it's true. 😂
Hmm...could it had something to do with slipping in "sex appeal"? 🤔
