When I'm a roo, it's definitely the Type B variety. Anthro, but still very rooish. X3

Omg, <3 best type

'toons are sexy somehow O:
Or is it just me? :/

I'm an (A+B)*C-D

Poooouches.

And I didn't draw a single one here. I kept the forms largely sexless to not get distracted too much there.

Pouches are rather distracting, aren't they?

This is really cool! You did an awesome job showing different styles 'roos or any other critter can be drawn in. I'd have to say B is my fav!

Bbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbbb. XD

My roo char's between a B and a C. So.... B.5?

B+ or C-?

I too am a B.5 roo. :3

type b is my favorite

An excellent presentation of the diversity of kangaroo characters that could be drawn, depending upon how close to being human you want your marsupial to be. And who knows better about rendering 'roos than you, Flinters! =OQ|

Type B. :3

mine is a type C in this case. ideal for fights.

Yeah, while Type C is incorrect because roos aren't digitigrade, those powerful legs are simply evil and wicked for fighting purposes. :)

I never noticed that detail, also it's never mentioned in the books. I also never noticed rats have plantigrade feet, too... as do bears, but even though there it's obvious many people won't get it right.
or with prosimiae... digitigrade legs and four-fingered hands with a lemur makes me want to cry.

interesting reference. personally I prefer C, but D has merit's too. especially if you give the human feet the toes of A... and now try to find shoes for THAT foot. XD

On a lemur? :x

Some species have a little leeway, mostly big-footed animals. But come on, bears and lemurs? :x What are people thinking?

the better question would be, are they even looking closely at their references? with the way 'roos and rats walk you can easily be misguided, but bears have full plantigrade footpads. it's hard to misinterpret THAT. :I

Yeah, I don't get it :C

This will be handy when I try my hand at drawing roos again.

Thanks, Flinters!

BTW, if lemme know if you're planning to hit MFF again this year. If so, I shall add you to the "Bring a box of Christmas cookies" list. ;)

I'll be at MFF, no problem. Got a table already.

Most excellent!

Imma B roo for sure ^^ Awesome roo work as always flinters!

I gotta go with B

Very cool comparison there, and yea that is true, it seems with Type C anthros many times, they are set to look Digigrade, even when it dosen't make sense.

I'm a type B roo and artist. I like toon realistic, because it makes them look cute in appearance and character bodies don't blur.

I've seen type C with plantigrade feet before. Just seem most people like digigrade on everything anthro even if it doesn't make sense. Also, I'm too much of a kangaroo fan, so type C gives me headaches. hehe

Mostly D, with some C attributes.

Im kinda in the middle of B and C :3

What sort of roo are you?

Umm....a dragon roo? Does that count?

Droogans are very much accepted.

=D

B is the best ^^

Like the B type, I disagree with the assessment "not very sexual."

Not very sexual as in their gentalia are not pronounced and blatant.

Type "D" is my favorite

A, B, and C are LOVE. x3

I'm closest fo a c/d mix :# Mostly morphic, but i still got the big fets (in big feets form, not digitigrade =3)

i'm also a tree kangaroo, though, so i dunno if i count x3

Type C-D

My character, Tank
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/1889953/
http://www.furaffinity.net/full/2570435/ (Mature)

Commission:  Camber
http://www.furaffinity.net/view/2107537/ (Mature)

Though all are very nice respectively :3

B

Thsi goes for every Anthro on my roster: Type C.

Because I want more than just a little Animal to love in a Woman.

And they're all for me.

Most certainly a cross between B and C, but leaning much closer to B because of cub form. Fully grownup form would probably be about a b.5, give or take.

I don't mind the digi-legs, but I much prefer the more toony-style legs, even in a more realistic way. Guess I wanna stick to the real thing a bit :3 B'sides, B = more cute. What more could you ask for?

Type B is the best. Type C & D kinda scare me. ._.

I'll take 'type C' for $500 Alex...and the phone number of the model ;)

- Shado

Well done; I really like the detail put in here to show between the types.

Type C here~ Needs more bootay :V

I guess my Shockwave Character (which I need to commission you to draw sometime) would classify as a "C", but that would be because I had to get the suit made to make it easy to move around.

Overall though, my favorite and preferred type would be "B".

What does it mean if I find them all sexy?

<---- Type C

Kangaroo's cant move their legs independently of each other?

The hind legs are 'wired' to move in pairs. They can't walk bipdeally or move them independantly to any great extent. Yes, they can move them, but it's not the way the brain works. So they use the tail as a prop as slow walks and move the feet forward together.

Ironically, they kick the legs independantly when swimming, so it's just a body / nervous reflex and not a physical blockage.

I dint know that, learn something every day I guess.

yup, roo's can swim!

though, i still hate swimming and pools :P

I prefer type B

My Roo Character is closer to type C, but probably a few more non-morphic-esque traits.

Roos ftw!

To be honest I think A & B are the sexiest style of Roo (probably why I like your art so much LOL) and of course those HUGE feet are where it is at besides those awesome hips.

I'm personally right in the middle between B and C :P

D for me for I too can wear most normal clothes and shoes.

If I was a roo, I think I'd be the D type.

The easiest to draw for me would be A and D. Although I kinda like C.

My personal favorite would be the B type. It's just dimorphic enough to open that jar of pickles.

Yes, this needs to be a poster

I know it's so incorrect, but! I've always liked C.

"type B.. not very sexual.."

R u kidding they're way more sexual!! lol

I like B & C myself the most. Never cared for the type D look as much. Though should add a Type E for those Neko twats :)

I didn't pass the Roo training course -.- I have a type E training permit only o.o

If I was ever a kangaroo I would be c, though I don't think I will ever but great reference guide you did there, it will help alot of kangaroos out there. Great quality. :)

I have just realized my Mirrshan species are alike roo type C...

Reminds me of a pic by  steamfox

Ah, here it is! http://www.furaffinity.net/view/865981/

Very cool, though!

I like to picture myself as sort of an "enlightened A"... That style of roo, but perhaps with the addition of glasses and a shirt.

A roo character in a roleplaying game I was in was definitely a D though.

why imma C thankyou very much :3

im somewhere in between c and d x.x

Imma type C Otteroo, i do berlieve!

half way between C and D for me, because i draw roo paws plantigrade but pretty long and roo like

type-C here

I suppose what type Shadowstalker is depends on whether you've mangled him while he's sleeping or not!

Not that anyone notices what kind of wallaby you are. We operate below radar.

My girl'd be overall D, I suppose, but her feet are much closer to B. I mean, what's the point of having a roo char if you're going to give them humanoid feet? WHAT IS THE POINT!?

I've got a roo that doesn't fit into any category here.

Between B and C, I suppose. I'm not the one drawing Lobo, but when he is I'd much rather have him anatomically correct-ish...though I do have some D type pictures that I adore. I think I rather have too fleeting of an attention span to stick to one - I love to commission artists of all sorts of styles, and generally as long as the markings and such are right, they're all Lobo to me! Even if some of them look nothing alike, haha.

I'd see my fursona as C but with flat feet. However I draw A the most by far!

B-Types are the best. :3

Rox is a c .... and a c class roo as well

I'm somewhere between B & C. Would rather I was fully 'B', but I can never get the body shape right.
Great pic.

Think bowling pin and the shape works out. :)

A and B types. <3

I'm not a kangaroo, but I do have a kangaroo character in one my stories who is a mix between types B and C. Hips aren't quite that low, but definitely big feet and big hips.

Really awesome comparison job here!

Dominus tecum

Parou is a B+, toon head and eyes, type b chest and semi bowling pin hip construct, but keeps trying to walk digitigrade on plantigrade feet..... not always successful.... swaps between the two and trips himself up if tired....

D, actually. I like calves.

Very handy sheet! Thanks for creating it.

C drives me insane with the wrong legs. D: I tend to draw sometheing between B and D.. but not with wrong legs. LOL.

Isn't there another type with their legs plantigrade as C?

Type C!

DO FERRETS NEXT
lol

<3 Very nice

Myself Types C+D

i would have to say Type B and between type B through D, maybe not type D that a little too extreme for me....ekkk!!

I'm of C-type. And with kangaroo-based genitalia, lol.

it would be interesting to see this kind of thing done with a 4 legged animal

I'm around B/C x3

This is so interesting! Awesome job.

B ;)

My roo character is definitely a D. He's also a footballer, and a species you never really see, since he's a Wallaroo.

I don't have a roo character but my fox is definitely a type D

mine is a D! =3

A and D :3

I was just upset and searched roos on FA because most artists draw them really wrong (funny dog-esque noses?!), and this made me feel soo much better. I didn't scroll down at first, and was frustrated with that digigrade roo, but then you even addressed that! THANK YOU for this nice sheet, I feel so much beter about FA artists because of it

I'd be Type B, it's just a shame I can't draw them anything like that....

Well, in a website loaded with sick stuff (castration torture, abnormal and unnatural deformity, wanton homo sex, incest, ....),it's refreshing to find something not only entertaining but edifying.

My Kank and his mate Kira can be "type E": so anthro, that they can with some clothes they can pass as human (no fur, tails hidden....). Yet they have customs alien to humans (such as wearing a blindfold for 72 hours to expand the other senses, in a rite of passage.). Inability to focus on a consistent origin for my characters, has led to giving up on them some 16 years ago.

I guess that Chip & Dale are type A or B for chipmunks, and Alvin & Brittany are type D or even E.

Not indicated by you is type A is incapable of showing emotions or mood by facial expressions. The more evolved forms are !

type b. I'm more of a bovine kangaroo hybrid though so I'm not sure how you'd view that...

A type 2 Kangamoo? That would be fun to draw.

I'm looking forward to seeing it.

I'm not a roo, but i was working on a reference for A roo Dragon, and thins helped me a lot!

Neat! Watching you

And I'm not a roo, but I guess my char is somewhere between C & D.

Im more of a type c but with more animalistic like digigrade legs.

Interesting. You are correct, because of the tarsal development a roo is clearly plantigrade... but normal walking with feet that large would be nearly impossible to accomplish in the image 3rd from the left were the legs to be structurally correct. My thinking is that the digitigrade stance would be a behavioral adaptation as a result of the unusual leg structure; much the way a human martial artist, ballet dancer or runner may become accustomed to walking on the balls of their feet because it affords an advantage in movement.

omg omg omg omg! epic! thank you so much mate! just what i was hoping to find

Im a cross between C and D.

Because, Im too sexy for muh pouch. :P

cross between B and C here :3

im type c :)
you say the legs are wrong but mine are like that :)

Somewhere between B and C for me. I'm a stickler for keeping things true to the original species, but I do like a few toony and human-like elements here and there.

type C and A lol :D!!

personally I like type B.
there are many things you can do with that form and it's generally "friendlier" looking then C/D.

(unless you give it huge teeth and bloodied claws, but that's another story...LOL)

Mine is a mixture of Type B and Type D^^

gotta say D

A- ^^

I used to be A, but now I'm B. :V

Type b with a lil bit of c

Im a Type B Kangaroo

Im a Type B,C Kangaroo do of Half Feline (UM COUGAR)

Type C for me.
#AllTheBounces

I'm going with type B. :D

I know this piece since 2009 but thank you, I really use it a lot to show people which type I am. xD

Type C! :3

It still gets a lot of hits and I keep a copy with me at cons.

I'm thinking about doing some species specific ones too.

You totally should do more yeah!

A and B are my kind of favorites. ^-^

My Kangaroo character is... I'd say B? Maybe even B/C mix? Not sure. Depending on situation the kangaroo I draw stand on either their whole legs or just their feet. Usually their feet like C when battling, but they stand on their legs like B in friendly/confident pre-battle poses.

Forgot to add that they also share similar anatomy to my other characters except for key kangaroo features like the legs and the tail. C seems to be more anthro like my characters while B seems closer to normal Kangaroo anatomy.

This is very well done! You did a great job on making types for one animal. it can be used for Feral and Anthro references.

Type B can also be used without the need of Large Cartoon eyes. And maybe the Anthro arms would be semi-anthro..Enough to be used for all fours but also enough to be used to grab and hold on to things. Say Type B Type 2 or something to that effect.

Just a thought.

I'm type none. I actually have digigrade because there is no such thing as right and wrong for your personal sona. And digigrade is just my favorite do my roo has it.

However I only accept and will agree to these types of charts IF your getting a commission and want it more natural.
Otherwise my roo will have digi legs and there's no rules to say I can't.

thankyou for posting this! :O i definatley have to make a new ref sheet for my Roo now, im loving C style :O

I am definitely a C
I like the look although it isn't correct!

This reference is super useful. ^_^ It perfectly capture the problem I was having with a character design (for a wallaby) so I could actually define and solve the issue. Thanks!

Wallbies (or 'wobblies' as they are nicknamed) will be shorter and rounder than roos, shorter ears, shorter muzzles proportionately with curved nostrils and soft snout. They are adorable!

They also make handy armrests and drink holders for us roo folk.

So... Do female semi-morphic kangaroos have pouches?

Type D for sure. Just look at my roo, Rhapsody!

Type c because i cant live without dem legs

Type B for sure!
I'm thicc

I like b as I really like the big feet and also it just looks more appealing and sticks more to the kangaroo

my roo that im making is kinda between b and c

I prefer Type B.

Whenever i make a roo fursona it’s always type B or type A

It’s always either Type A or Type B for me.

A B and C :3 but D hmmmääh

Type A or hop off!
