Really? You use footage where an NPC is randomly launched up in the air (in front of that pink spotlight) and you don't acknowledge it? neofox_googly_shocked

@coffee Don't get me wrong, I think Soma's portrayal is fantastic and plausible. But it's simply not a situation I would want to find myself in. wvrnFlat

And I swear to god, just after I posted this I saw art featuring a winged snake, and the patagium is barely connected to the body so IT COULD NOT FLY AAAAAA

@Lingondraken I can't help that I automatically notice this or dragons having insufficiently-sized wings. 😭

I only see 3 good solutions.
1. Hunched over posture, like I did with Areon. Absolutely perfect aesthetic if your character should look more animalistic.
2. Digitigrade legs, but they're pretty much straight. I've seen some designs where the legs are designed to put the surface area under the center of mass, but they were "bendy" so that the lower end of the leg protruded behind the body in a way that looked really weird.
3. Plantigrade.

It's so bad I'd prefer they have plantigrade legs even though I generally like digitigrade legs way more

One day I will make a sketch of all the ways anthropomorphic characters don't get digitigrade legs right. So many of them put the center of mass behind the paws' area touching the ground so they'd just outright fall over.

@nytpu I can't even imagine using my Steam Deck on the go. Maybe at a hotel, but otherwise a format like the Nintendo 3DS is just so much less of a hassle and I'm way more likely to just bring it with me because it takes so little space.

@faoluin Aren't humanoid robots more at risk of falling into the uncanny valley, though? ​:areon3NThink:​ I agree with the marketability aspect, though. Science fiction conditioned everyone to view humanoid robots as the most advanced version of robot

(extra enthusiasm if I could transfer my consciousness into it and it doesn't end up being a fucked up situation like in Soma)

I'd be more on board with bipedal robots if they looked like this neofox_smug
