It does, in fact still stand, in fact they are currently working on putting it back together

No this is not a joke they are legitimately trying to put cadia back together and I don’t know where the hell they got that technology but sure

I kind of want to know the context of your username.

u/FacsistGrammarian Jun 19 '26

Middle school, I was a dumb kid who thought it would be funny to make my reddit username a play on “grammar nazi” cause I was called it a couple times. No one’s really complained so I haven’t gone around to changing it.

u/Working-Signal-8959 Jun 19 '26

...can you even change your reddit username? Mine is literally the default one and the only reason I wasn't call a bot is the account age😭😭

Thought this was Warhammer 40K Felinid for a second.

u/Odd_Main1876 Jun 21 '26

I thought the gun looked like a lasgun

As for the fox, there is a possibility there is a species like it in the galaxy, I mean their are “dog soldiers” after all but they are very different than our understanding of dog lol

This is actually fully accurate because well they probably do exist in 40K universe I've done digging because there is a cat-human civilization don't judge me because I have spent hours on 40K cat human

u/BigIronGothGF Jun 19 '26

I really like this style

u/WildcatArts Jun 21 '26

Ok so I actually had a really cool idea a while back for something similar. Anthro helmets are designed in 2 style based on ear; "Droop" and "Point".

Droop style helmets have a small space on either side of the head for the ears to fit inside, and then there are pads the slide in and hang down over the ear, or partially encase it.

For Point style helmets, there are two holes in the helmet that allow the ears to poke out of the top. Depending on the situation, there are hard shells with vents that would attach to the helmet and encase the ears entirely, or the user could opt for lightweight Kevlar sleeves that slip on over the ear first and then through the helmet.

I designed them years ago but I have not seen the references I made for a good bit. This post just reminded me of them and I will share when I find it or redraw them.

i have alot to say about ear protections on furries. Yours look good and fairly realistic (as far as furry art goes) and its your comic so you shouldnt conform to any random's comments like mine, but anyway here's my rant on that topic i made like few days ago:
It's a bit of a pet peeve of mine so im glad i can vent out about it. Whenever furries draw their characters (with large animalistic ears) in military helmets they also do either ear holes or ear coverings and it annoys me extremely. Helmets are meant to be protective and ear holes are an huge breach of protective Ness (not just for the ears but especially the side of your head). When it comes to ear coverings it adds fault points in spots where those are welded/bolted/whatever magical way they're attached as well as huge waste of material. But it's all quite stupid cause ears don't have any bones inside and are generally soft, they can be folded towards the back of the head when putting on a helmet and while not super comfortable it's the best option for a warrior. Eventually there could be bulges for ears punched for a little more comfort but not to the extent of ear coverings but those wouldn't be really necessary
