:D I'm liking the torso-forward ones, have you thought about how it would look in motion? Variations on straight-torso bipedal movement are pretty neat to think about, since humans / hominids are pretty much the only example of it.

Hmm, could check if 3dstudiomax has walk cycles for the standard skeletons in there, but I've never really used that before for animation.
I suppose a woman in heels is similar, at least you sway your back and flex your knees more in heels - that's why I instinctly feel it's a good idea for it here.

I hope ungulate-person-walking comes with less foot cramps and lower back pain, then. D8

can you have cramps in a hoof?

Legs upon legs!

Thinking out loud is cool. I always thought the third one in was the most ridiculous thing.

I guess it depends on how it's done, but I think some furries draw way too bent legs like this, yeah. I think it's 'cause they do a full length human leg THEN add the long foot.

I had a commission that stalled because of a toes issue. They wants flat-footed with individual toe-hooves. I... I just can't do it! Any thoughts on this matter? o.O

EEP!

*adds to faves* Great reference!

hmmmm I did see some people do that yes
It should work to think of them as 2 toes, what problems do you have?

They wanted five toes, and drawing them off at the point where the toe meets the foot made it seem too clunky. But making it a first-joint only made them impossibly small. They didn't want toe-nail hooves the way some folks would do toe-claws for predator types.

She wanted specifically for the character to be a true bi-ped, flat-footed, with toe-hooves. My brain tweaked. I couldn't get my head wrapped around it.

Interesting! I usually draw the middle type, but I have to admit the high heels version is so elegant.

I think it works well for cartoons, maybe? You know with the classic long legged babe
...goat demon babe

It's almost but not quite the "Gargoyles" Styles (The Disney Cartoon) foot. Their's was a very short "foot" for a digigrade.

It definatly looks more graceful than the very short femur of a real digitigrade.

*nods* Yes it does. The anatomy of it is much more esthetically designed for a more human-like leg form. The anatomy makes more visual sense.

yup
