Really well done reference sheet by  Yusufpaw

Yush~! Without the Yuss, the 3D model would still have the hand-feets. Which were still good looking in my opinion, I didn't hate them. But they made certain poses and animation a bit awkward looking. Thanks to the new feet, poses look a lot more natural looking.

I see. Good to know that ^^

A great reference! I like the design of his feet on him - hand-like, but not completely so. They have a really nice, beefy sole to them. Ha - love that he wears flip-flops on'em too.

Exactly! You see, it all started back in early 2024 when I was animating Dock in 3D. I noticed that when his feet were literally just hands, he had to walk really weirdly. There was no heel to lift, so he'd end up raising his entire hand-foot. That made him look like he was doing an exaggerated march instead of walking naturally.

I started studying monkey anatomy for ideas, but then Black Myth: Wukong came out, and in one of the early trailers there's this great shot of the big monkey feet stepping into a puddle, with a proper heel and long toes up front. That became a huge inspiration for the current foot design! I workshopped with the genius Yusufpaw and we gave it our own slight twist, making them a bit thicker and beefier to appeal to foot/paw enthusiasts like yourself. x3
Really love the current design, and I'm glad others do as well.

Again, shoutout to @Yusufpaw for making it happen, without him the model would still have hand-feet.

An excellent job then to the both of ya! I think a lot of people tend to glaze over the anatomy of how a foot actually has to "work". Dock's feet keep that long toe and more extra-dexterous design by do it in a way that allows them to still function like a foot, so very well done. And yes - they're very appealing to pawsexuals and paw-lovers alike.

Gasp, a cutie!
