Ive read the entire series its awesome
"Khiray of the River" this story was posted online too hehe.not quite sure where but it was a long time ago i read it

Thank you. Yes, it's been a while. Although I think the earliest non-AFF version is still online.
I may post the printed version here as PDF, just to keep it in circulation.

Ummm.... Ahhh... The upper body does look a bit tall, if one uses the "Pencil Proportions" method. (Place a pencil in the middle of the lower fox body to the top of the creature's head, then rotate the pencil until it drops to the middle of the creature's rump.) Otherwise it is an excellent drawing of a fox-taur.

I got a "Thing" for foxtaurs.

Yeah, I should do more experimentation with proportions to get the look perfected.

I was very much enamored with foxtaurs (due to some drawings by Mike Higgs, actually) in the old millennium. However, I must admit that I find it difficult to imagine the "right" way of depicting them and the "right" way of moving. Combining the gait of the lower body with the swing of the upper body may be a challenge in animation (centaur animations may be a base but I believe a foxtaur should have a proportionally larger upper body than a horsetaur). It would probably be an interesting challenge to animate a 3D model so it looks attractive (as opposed to "awkward") in motion.

Sadly, I don't have as much time for my 3D work as I wished, so taurs are a thing of the far future (aka "improbable that I ever get there").

I know the feeling, Friend. Back in the "Last Millennium:" I was contemplating creating a generic "Foxtaur" manikin with sensors at the joints to create motion capture animation much as was done for a Godzilla or King Kong movie created in the late 1990s. This practice has become obsolete though as the computing power went up and the computer animators developed new tricks of creating virtual creatures for the screen.

I kina like to think of the foxtaurs I draw as a "Fox and a half" with the upper torso resembling something akin to an anthropomorphic fox, but I agree with you that getting the motions to synch might be a challenge. I figure it might be like watching something between a short, furry slinky with four points of contact on the ground. Like s preying Mantis, but not as jerky or insect like.
