Description
Commission for :>This is Tarrot's character, Laduma. I had so much fun drawing him, this is the first time I've drawn an anthro character so this was a challenge, but at the same it was very enjoyable and Laduma is a really fun character to draw. He's happy, cute, and he loves watermelons! 8D
I really like drawing sunny, happy pictures so I'm really satisfied with this picture :>
Please Enjoy! β₯

This looks like a character you'd see in "Cats"! Awesome work, I love the motion in the picture!

Oh wow, what a nice antho! It's a very nice way to draw them, I must say. C:

Be careful with your anatomy. Having that index finger bending in basically the opposite direction of the middle finger looks wonky and not really possible. Other than that this is a really great drawing. I love this coloring!

It's a really old picture, but thank you for your thoughts either way!

I can bend mine like that
π: 0 β©: 2
Lol, you must be! I can't bend mine at that angle without being uncomfortable (definitely not how I would casually hold something), and even then I can't bend them to that extreme. The middle knuckles are almost on opposite sides from one another. Even if you can bend that way, I can promise you it's not common and it looks unnatural. XD

Hm, as for my left hand it could be because I've been trying to play a guitar for perhaps 2-3 years, but it doesn't explain my right hand doing this too...
Have you tried holding sth small and spread the fingers then? But of course, by reallife fingers this would be less 'algly', the finger will look more roundish^^
As for the look, I've seen this in a lot of artworks, especialy of such type of style. As for those by the masters, even in realism, this is kinda close: upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia⦠of course the angle is not so extreme and we can see the middle finger from the very front, but the general pose of the hand is kinda similar^^ BTW, perhaps alatherna  would like to compare and decide if she overlooked that or it's the result she wanted^^ I think I'd just change the placement of the middle finger's claw more to the middle^^ But that would be if I wanted to go more realistic, and this artwork is definitely meant to be more fantasy-like, the author is rather an anime artist, and anime seems to like stylizing(just look at anime bird wings xD they lack of anatomy for the sake of another effect), perhaps the fingers are part of a stylization here^^ There is such thing in art like 'mistakes on purpose'^^ And of course 'mistakes by mistake'. I guess only the author knows the truth here

If I had a camera anyhow compatibile with my laptop, I'd took a photo of it for you

if only you did. because a human finger is literally incapable of twisting like that - i couldn't hold my hand that way, and when i tried to manually move my finger into that position it hurt like hell. and i have incredibly flexible fingers.
π: 0 β©: 1
Seems they're not THAT flexible;] And mine are just semi flexible yet still I CAN do that. And have you tried with both hands? And did you look from the right angle?
And my Love knew a girl who could bend her palm so it touched her forearm with its top side.Β Like if she had no joint connection, yet she had. I can't imagine the face of their biolgy theacher when that girl did this right after the teacher had said joints have limits
Now... you could as well deny this guy: www.youtube.com/watch?v=KYgDwL⦠(skip to 0:45) and many others like him. Just becuase me and you can't do that, doesn't mean it is impossible, does it?
Perhaps this character can do this little thing. And... some rules can be broken in art, especially in such style.

eh. some people are different. but you don't use the vast minority to excuse anatomical errors. (:
π: 0 β©: 1
Why not? especially in such style like this
π: 0 β©: 1
because style =/= disregard for anatomy. this isn't even a style that makes room for that kind of thing, especially since the rest of the anatomy is fine.

Not long ago there was a DD of a wing stock.. relaistic shading and colouring... but no anatomy. I noted the DD featurer and she said it's fantasy and may lack anatomy. I bet you two could have an interesting discussion.

i've seen that piece as well. it really depends on what the artist is going for, i think - you can tell when someone's going for realism or fantasy. i think this artist, despite drawing an anthropomorphic character, is still going for an aspect of realism considering their art style. therefore they should be held to realistic anatomical standards.
π: 0 β©: 1
I wouldn't consider this style realistic, rather semi-realistic. The eyes definitely don't look like aimed for realism, same with the face and the fur. I'd rather say it's a kind of cartoony style with soft shading. Just because it's a bit more realistic that yours, doesn't mean it's realistic^^

there are some parts of it that are stylized; that doesn't mean that everything is stylized to the point where anatomy doesn't matter.
