The Sheriff and the Blacksmith.
I'm just posting this because it kinda shows where I'm at right now artwise. Please see my journal about it here: http://www.furaffinity.net/journal/6824252/
Let's face it, there's certain media almost all furries previously used as a common point of reference--Bowser, Secret of NIMH, The Lion King, etc. I know Disney's Robin Hood was a big one too. There were tons of appealing characters, though it always irked me that the blacksmith was a wimpy looking guy.
So when Dev told me over the weekend to just draw what I want (as he always does lately), I reimagined that particular scene from the film to something more aligned with my interests. Cuz oh yes, a Sheriff should totally proposition a beefy blacksmith for tax "payments".
However, I'm drawing this as a couple of human guys. Even though it was inspired by something that kept me going as a kid, I've realized I don't HAVE to slavishly stick to that now. I can follow my own interests. At least there's always one thing you can rely on from my art: I'll always have a healthy dislike of drawing guys wearing shirts XD
But yeah, read the journal ^ ^;;
I tried to do as much as I could from memory, and only cracked out a reference near the end. The cast is on the wrong foot, big deal XD

You are right about noticing the leg thing, however your could turn it into a joke instead with the Sheriff mentioning "I thought it was your right foot giving you trouble" or something equally sly too.
Also no harm in putting an original twist is, so long as you stay somewhat close to its inspiration.
