Do you ever see an artist’s work and go like, “that’s my ideal body type” but you can’t track down the original and don’t know how to explain without your screenshots? I know I have the fungus creature’s artist saved on my deviantart somewhere and I’m not going to make it re-blog able because I’m not trying to just steal art here, but I lost track of the cat-ears artist and I need to track them down again so I can source link them too. I don’t want to just steal it(although i found it as a repost on Pinterest) I swear I saw them on deviantart somewhere. How the fuck do i explain that these are the ideal limbs and this is the ideal ear placement? I’m going to track them down and see the sources. I’m only going to show the exact parts I’m referring to as my kind of inspiration? Is seeing an art piece and going “they did it. They got (feature I’ve been trying to draw) down exactly” inspiration or something else? I think it’s inspiration

Here are partial images showing what I’m referring to and the signatures on both pieces.

I’m not saying I want to copy them exactly, just that these are the closest I’ve seen to what i have in my mind and I’m not sure how to describe it. If this is a shitty thing to post I’ll delete it. The (almost) ideal body:

This is why i don’t call myself a furry but instead call myself a freaky catgirl. Furries are into having cartoon animal personas. I’m not sure what the fuck this would be considered. The way the ear looks cat like but also has the ear canal placed lower, and the way those limbs are structured in just the right way to still look human enough while also being prepped for more quadrupedal locomotion. The way the tail seems to extend from the spine and not stick out from the hips awkwardly. It’s so close to what I’m trying to draw, to my ideal design. Closer than any other art I’ve probably seen! There are still some parts of the anatomy that aren’t quite what I’m thinking but are so very close. The tail does still look like it was be awkward during bipedal movement, but it doesn’t look like it’s split from the hip bone (something that slightly bothers me when I’m trying to design my own) and maybe a furry would have a tip about that, but this is so much closer than furry art I’ve seen. I’m obsessed with skeletons so I have weirdly specific pet peeves when making my own characters sometimes. Not always, but sometimes

Update! I found the ear artist! And the original work!

Maybe one of them does commissions
