TOPIC | New Sphinx Familiars Look... Weird.
its not even the legs that throw me off, its the shoulders. Not to say its bad! Cause the art is amazing. I think they just look very human, but the back legs are too short for them to be mostly bipedal compared to quadruped.

I mean, they're wearing armor, so that might be limiting their movements. At first it did bother me, but I'm kinda getting used to it

The only thing throwing me off is the facial structure looking really human compared to the rest of the body, but that isn't the art imo. ^^; I've never been the biggest fan of human faces (or traits) on animal-like bodies, mostly because of the uncanny valley feel that usually comes from them. (See: the Cats movie)

I assumed they were partially based off munchkin cats, which can sometimes have... [i]wonky[/i] limb proportions.

My only thought was that the other sphinxes are so PRETTY, and these are... not as pretty. Not that bad though, although that front leg does look a bit weird.

The issue is that they're off balance. The angles of the paws are fine, like they're just preparing a hand of claws to be at the ready, but because their back legs are so close together (not just in appearance because of the angle), they look as though they should be tipping over. Unstable.

They did look a little strange when I first saw them but they've just got a very human upper body, torso and arms included. I actually like what the arms are doing. It's very distinct from the other sphinxes but I imagine it's just a different subspecies! I've seen more humanlike sphinxes in other places and this did remind me of it.
It almost looks like they typically walk bipedal and have just dropped down on all fours for a sec. Like others have said the legs aren't that short, they just look it because of the armor and how they're stretched out behind them.

The only thing I see as being a little off is the very back leg that's mostly hidden from us. Can't quite figure out how it would be folded back there. But it's not terrible or anything.
