It's getting chilly out...
Better put on a scarf!
I have sketch commissions that need doing, but I woke up really wanting to play around with anatomy a bit. I've always felt my style was leaning a bit too much toward 'realistic' as far as proportions are concerned. I've always liked a slightly more stylized sort of anatomy, so I wanted to play a bit.
Much shorter overall stature, bigger head, wider hips, more digi-legs. I'm so bad with the legs, I really have no idea how to properly draw or utilize digitigrade legs, but I did what I could with 'em. x3
I think she came out kind of cute. What do you think?

*keels over dead from hugging*
I've been learning to draw lately and I've been having a lot more fun drawing more stylized less-anatomically correct poses, it gives you a chance to have some fun with it! But following anatomy is important to learn so I've been doing a mishmash of both :p

That's more or less where I'm headed as well. I've never wanted to draw realistically, but it's a very good thing to understand proper anatomy regardless of how you draw. I just feel that I've let it influence my style a bit too much, and I want to start working on 'tooning up my proportions a bit more. :P
That is the literal meaning of digitigrade though - walks on toe/finger-tips. Hybridizing the anatomy can be fun and really weird. I watch an artist on another website who draws very close to animal proportions - like the characters have the narrower canine type ribcage. There's a lot of different ways an artist can go with everything. Hell I watch one on this website who specializes in "doginas." Toots.
That's sort of the definition sure, but structurally they're pretty different. There's a reason we don't walk around on our tip toes all the time, and when we do it can get tiring pretty quickly. We're just not built for it, the leg structure for digitigrade animals is quite a bit different. Then again, I'm pretty sure most of them also walk on all fours.
It's funny... seeing a variety of differently shaped penises doesn't bother me in the least, but animal-based lady parts are a recipe for instant creep-out to me for some reason.

Yeah, I know. I researched a lot of it when creating a "werewolf" species for my book, before I shrugged and said whatever. Ultimately us artists are creating impossible hybrids - downright mythological creatures. How far we cut to one side (feral animals, or even non-mammal species) or the other (humans) directly effects what the audience perceives of it. Just take your response to genital types. Or consider that while Cameron could have made the Na'vi really bizarre space frogs he specifically kept them very humanoid so the audience could identify with them (and perhaps be sexually attracted themselves, and if so, that was intentional design).
But as far as character design goes, I think your representation of digitigrade has always been fantastic. That's not to say your experiments aren't fun to see either though. :P
