Whenever I see that clip from Animal Planet, and I highly do remember watching that episode it from many years ago, I'm suddenly reminded of another show:

Nature's speed genius vs. technological marvel! In this video, the fastest runner in nature, the cheetah, races against the modern engineering marvel, the Formula E car. Cheetahs can reach a speed of 100 km/h from zero in just 3 seconds over short distances.

Fast cat is (going to be) fast. Wanted to draw a feline of some kind and got this idea.

Assuming no monetary or ethical issues, what animal would you most like to have as a pet? (i.e., if you wanted a pet bear, you would have as much space, food, veterinary care, etc, as was necessary, and it would be safe to interact with the animal)

[Mine is a red panda, with manatee and cheetah as close runners up.]

I think ring-tailed lemurs would be a good laugh!

This one is a bit of a throwback to my Scout drawing where he was showing off the same wound. My headcannon is that he totally hates is afraid of Medic's infirmary because of all the experiments the mad doctor subjects him to. (You can't tell me Medic saw the runner and didn't think to put some cheetah lungs or some shit in him).

On another topic, this was one of my most time consuming and detailed drawings I've ever done, simply because I have never drawn an actual background before. I'm well aware it's flat and it looks like Scout is floating but I don't know how to fix that lmao.

Hi, I was wondering what sort of leg prosthetic would work well in a fight? I'm designing a magical girl OC with a prosthetic leg and want to incorporate a rather more pink and sparkly one into her magical girl form. I know you can get blades for running, but would those be better than a normal prosthetic for running and leaping around while bonking monsters with a magic stick?

Hey there, I think I remember seeing your question on my old account right? I'm so sorry it's taken me so long to get back to you!

So a blade probably wouldn't be ideal, but a hybrid might.

Blade prosthetics are very good for running, but are absolutely terrible for literally everything else, including standing or walking. Essentially, blade prosthetics are modeled off of digitigrade legs. For the non-furries on my page, digitigrade legs are what cats and dogs have on their back legs where it bends at the knee, then bends back the other way at a second joint before their feet.

[ID 1: A pair of black running blade prosthetics with yellow edges. Their wearer is out of frame but we can see they are running along a track. /end ID] [ID 2: A photo of a cheetah from the side. In the photo we can clearly see the structure of its legs, as described above. /End ID]

This is actually their ankle, and their "foot" is their toes. This arrangement makes these animals really fast and nimble, but it comes at the cost of lower balance. That's not an issue when you have another two legs to help keep you steady, but when you put that onto a human we start having issues. This is why if you watch any races where the competitors are using these prosthetics, they almost always fall over, especially the double leg amputees. Essentially, the shape and springiness of a blade gives you a massive speed advantage (so much so that amputee runner Oscar Pistorius had to be given disadvantages in order to compete in the Olympics with able-bodied runners) but it essentially moves the ankle joint and heel - the one our brains automatically know to weight bare through - up off the ground. The closest an able bodied person could get to the feeling of running on a blade would be to wear a pair of stilleto heels with the heal removed, and a spring on the bottom.

Hybrid feet though are a combination of blade feet and the regular feet amputees usually get. They are like tiny blades, but they usually have a foot-shell on the outside so you don't see it. These hybrid feet give you some of the extra padding and suspension you'd get from a running blade (which makes running/jumping etc more comfortable) as well as a bit of a speed boost, though not as much as the big ones, and they don't come at the cost of your balance, which you'r character will need when fighting.

Ossur's Flex foot range are a good one to look at for refeance, I used them when I was doing martial arts, as do a few friends of mine who are still doing it. This is a link to their website, it's got pictures of what they look like both internally and when people are using them, and I beleive theirs a booklet you can download on the page as well if you want to read into them a bit more. This isn't the only one of course, but it's the one I've used before:

I'm planning to do a breakdown in a little bit more detail about the different types of prosthetic feet and what they're good for eventually, but for what you described, I think this is what would work best.

Don’t worry I still draw and think abt avetheriums!

Featuring a new species! I had the idea to combine the blunt snout of the carnotaurus with the flat face of an owl and ngl I think it’s pretty damn cool lol. Cheetahs also have pretty blunt snouts so I think having a flat-faced runner works pretty well biologically ^-^ I believe it has something to do with getting air into the lungs more efficiently as well as cooling down the brain.
