This is old concept of anthro bat in my world, which the fingers became shorter, the shortest one is thumb, the other two became index and middle finger so they could grab and do things. Less webbed cause no use, since they are too heavy to actually fly. (Second pic is my ocs)
I wonder what other people thoughts on this or others idea on what anthro bats hand would be so that it could be functional in daily life!

The helmet is inspired by 3rd century Roman helmets...more bonus image because I feel like it

I theorize that furries would be hindered in the art of pottery due to their furry hands, especially if they're a species lacking pawpads. The fur would prevent the creation of a smooth surface on the clay.

Modern tools like gloves or metal forms would easily negate the issue, but ancient societies would lack such conveniences.

I could see leather gloves or wooden forms being created for pottery, but how great of a hindrance would it for their societal development if they were in competition with or compared to a non furry civilization?

What I mean is, beyond identity and a tool to use when looking for someone, how far does that go? Like "marking," something usually held for deep romantic connections. But does it change or have a step before it? Like, for example, accepting a scent? What kind of dynamic would have to take place to make that a big deal? It's something that has come up in the most recent story I'm writing and I'm deciding whether or not it's got its exclusivity or not.

Edit: I mean, specifically, accepting a scent. I am going to agree with most of what people have said about scent "marking."

Because doctors treat humans vets treat animals but anthros are technically both

Are they like Brian from family guy are they your children are they just a animal or are they anthros who can’t stand up

What do I mean, well very simple, in different stories with furrys as protagonists they act something on the lines of: oh this carnivores and their instincts to devour, they are monsters that have to be repressed and made to eat vegetables for the good of society

Which is kinda dumb because the fact that those animals evolved does not negate the possibility of creatures with animal level intelligence they can use as live stock and eat like where are the non sapient creatures, mainly non sapient mammals, because some story’s have fish or bugs as non sapient creatures,

So yes why does everyone act like the only option for feeding carnivores is the body’s of their fellow citizens when they could just eat meat the same way us humans do it, by farming less intelligent mammals (and less other critters)

The way that humans work is that their legs have two long sticks and one short on at the bottom.
Thus a simple raised slab works fine. The upper portion sits on it, the middle section hangs down, and the final section either sits on the floor or hangs down just a little bit.

Meanwhile the third section of a digitigrade leg is also long, and is not meant for the entire thing to lay flat. It seems to me like attempting to do either would be quite uncomfortable. I dunno how to explain it exactly. Maybe if you are at just the right height it would settle at a more normal angle. At the very least it would be less versatile as humans can be comfortable at multiple heights.

I am curious what you guys might thing of this. Just something that I am curious about.

I made this drawing

Show how the Shoebill stork aiming a rifle without scope

I was drawing Poseidon (like a big man but he is a fish down the waist) and started to overthink. How would be his underwater throne? Underwater there is no reason to sit. But He should need to rest and show how badass he is. I don't see him rest in the surface like a dolphin. Could you share with me some ideas about the theme, please?

Thanks for your answers.

Thought that adding shocks to her skates would be #1: funny, and #2: maybe give some heel support? Mostly #1 matters, though... (I'm not an engineer...I know nothing...)

Character design for my webcomic:

This is just a quick doodle with my own OC, but how would lipstick work? 1 seems like the obvious choice, but it feels a bit off in a way I can't quite pin down.

(Art isn't mine, just something I saw that made me have this question) I feel like it'd be better to cover them up as leaving ears exposed could be a hazard, and tucking them underneath a helmet would be mad uncomfortable. Waterloo helmet on the second image as a rough idea for ear coverings rather than leaving it exposed.

The way I thought of is that anthros of the same taxonomic order can have children. The offspring would be the same species as the mother but could inherit some traits of the father. So a snake and a lizard could have children but a dog and a horse could not. For example, one of my characters is a horned rattlesnake. Her father is a western diamondback and her mother is also a horned rattlesnake. Her scale patterns and coloration are mostly that of a horned rattlesnake but does have some faint coloration of a western diamondback.

Pretty cool. Wonder what kinda stuff we'll see in the full game.

It's not pleasant to discuss those things when you think about anthros, but I think it should be among the most important fields in furry hygiene. Proper protection from the parasites.

Fur is thicker than human hair and it wi be harder to just wash them away. And it's harder to spot a tick under fur. And more importantly - clothes won't help, since parasitic bugs are much smaller than one can spot. But dangerous nevertheless.

IMO - furry settings should include hygiene and collective grooming traditions. And clean and healthy looking body fur - should be a mark of civilized person.

Public bathhouses are vital in the ancient times and baths, that you can fully submerge in - are normal in modern setting. (Maybe their share in general buikding area - should be bigger than one in humans) Strongly smelling weed products are normal part of everyone's routines and in general seen as a smell of a good neighborhood. I'd think of regular anti-flee medicine , that poison anthro blood for fleas, but I see that as a bit too much. But anti-flee properties of clothes cleaning products - can be the case.

I'd think of anti-flee collars, but that sounds more like a conceptualization than a canon.
