Some sketches I did to understand how my half anthro people's hands work. Hands are frigging hard to draw expecially if you're drawing hands that don't exist.

I had a conversation with Scale about this, too. In particular, where foxes fit within this and whether they would trend more towards dog or cat with people-designs. Beyond that, taking the animal features but then shifting them as strongly towards something else as monkey features get shifted going to human. How prominent or soft would pads be? How would claws change? Would cat claws change from retractable for the sake of dexterity? Questions like those.
Foxes are definitely canines, except for a couple of smaller evolutionary adaptations like half retractable claws (whose mechanics aren't similar at all to felines' ones) and slit pupils. But then again the differences inbetween species are more blurred than we thought in the past, says the experts, and almost nothing is written in stone...
Wondering about anthropomorphic physiology is one of the funniest thing of the furry subculture, for me.

Funniest or funnest? Because I personally enjoy thinking about the many ways it can go, with different qualifiers (favored elements) bringing about different results. Not just with appearances but with how society itself manages to function.
Yeah, I know they're canids in essence, but I've also known about the claw stuff despite being unable to find any solid documentation on the full workings. You say it's different from cat functionality, but that's not data I was able to dig up one way or the other. Partial / amateur skeleton stuff, maybe a video or two of people poking fennec paws, and that was most of it when I tried.
In any case, there's definitely something to be said about recognizing how flexible all the different animal evolutions are. Interconnected results here and there, overlaps, things from the past that still exist, or existed and then didn't and then did again. It's fun, for example, to look at how some of the tree-dwelling animals function. Squirrels, raccoons to an extent. Though you also have meerkats. Making that jump from quadruped to biped, what leads to it.... I miss experiencing content that explores that. :3
