(2018) 5th of Vaganuary - Maple
This is 
Jonti's Maple. A cute, albeit a little unusual cowgirl with interesting tastes.
Her color palette is surprisingly hard to work with. Though I think I got that down right.

Awesome art! ^^
But why so many artists like to draw tails from characters' back instead of from the tailbone? This just looks very wrong =\

Sorry for my sudden critique :3

The reasons are usually these, from my experience:
1: Furries aren't straight up animals. you may reinvent certain bits if it makes more sense to you. In this case, the more obvious reasoning to why is that it looks wrong when it's 100% anatomically correct.
2: The position of the tail gets it right inbetween the buttcheeks, and the tailbone would make it so that the tail comes 'off the body' inside the panties, which in most cases looks strange.
3: With a tail connected directly to the tailbone, we wouldn't be able to do most motions you usually associate with tails, unless they are very flexible and, if so, they're no longer realistic.
For me, while it's anatomically wrong, it's right gesture wise. I pick a somewhat inbetween version. comes up a little further up from the body and at an angle, rather than at the tailbone and directly following that motion.
It's not a mistake, but rather an intended change.
A similar example that would get the same answer would be furry heads. on animals, the neck comes from behind, rather than below. Would you say that all furry artists draw that wrong, too? :)
So TL;DR: What is anatomically correct is may look weird. These are fantasy hybrids, there is a leeway for interpretation.

Well, but in that case how will spine be connected with pelvic bone if it goes into tail on the back instead of go to the pelvic bone and then into the tail?
Second pic (with horse) IMO the best case for anthro tail, it doesn't go too close to body and doesn't reduce tail's flexibility unlike on the first pic with tail directly from human tailbone and very well fits in the anatomy =)
Furries' animal heads almost everytime (except for cases of too long necks) are very good adapted to anthro anatomy, there're no questions =)
