@aphantasia AH!! I see! Yeah, I definitely understand what you mean now but fat distribution is never even! Genes and hormones of one's body do all sorts of stuff and there are so many body types, this is not as unlikely as it might appear. There are fat people who have fat all around, there are people who only have large bellies and double chins with thin legs and arms (my grandpa), there are people who have very square-like bodies, there are people who are curvy (unfortunately me, I'd rather have the exact same body type of the Aquarius tbh.) I have a mainly lean face, just like the Aquarius, beefy torso, beefy arms and legs but all the fat goes to my bum, abdomen and hips.

So yeah, I now definitely understand your concerns and I'm glad you're pointing out the things this way, I like your constructive criticism primarily because it is detailed and constructive so keep doing what you're doing! It's just that it's really not as unlikely as one might think, wild!

And no worries about replying a bit later :^)

I love everything about this year's Ice fest. Ice is one of my fave flights and I feel the fam, apparel, and scene all look SO GOOD. The skins/accents are really nice too! I love the Aquarius fam so much. I need about 50 of them. A fest fam that I feel really represents my body is wonderful.

All of it is just *chefs kiss*. Makes me wanna vacay in Ice even more lol.

@Natron

Yeah, biology is weird, haha. The way your hair grows affects your likelihood of having lung cancer (/j)

Also, thanks for understanding! I was worried that I wasn't coming across right lol.

Flight Rising's style tends to skew the perspective, this helps give it the whimsical look and feel. Every once in awhile the perspective is skewed too far and you end up with something akin to the Earth Flight festival familiar form 2018. I think this is what's happening here, only on such a small scale that it can't be pinpointed. People feel that something is off because there's something off, but no artwork is perfect. It's just that for this particular familiar many people are pointing it out. Honestly, I love the new familiar. It's a good addition to the sea-folk familiars that we already have. I also love the tiny snowflakes. Details like that make me happy. Edit: I mean the 2018 familiar, the Crystalcourt Ambassador. The perspective on the legs looks off to me.

[/quote] @/Disbounded Capricorn is going to be from Fiona after Greenskeeper's festival. [/quote] @Zerkjo Wait, so we're only gonna be able to get a single capricorn familiar?? [/quote] @spectralArtist Unsure. I kind of hope not, itd be really unfair to any players who joined later. Fiona fams are already up in price due to how exclusive they are : (

That caused me physical pain, thinking of my own legs being forced to bend in an unnatural way like that is positioned. I will admit though, horses are hard.

[quote name="GlitchedAway" date="2021-01-26 10:57:40" ] Not exactly a huge fan of the familiar either, why couldn't it just be a normal seal?[/quote] Because unless the zodiac is an actual animal (scorpion, crab, bull, lion, etc), it's turned into one of the beastclans. It wouldn't make any sense for the water-bearer to be a normal seal. Personally I think it should have been a Harpy or Raptorik since Aquarius is an Air sign, but a Maren/Selkie is cool too.
