I love how this was informative AND funny

Humor's a platform for learning, after all. People tend to absorb information better when it engages them to the point that they end up smiling or laughing.
Thank you!

I'm sure those horns really help with balancing, as well
And I've never considered joints in the third bone; those seem realistic

Most likely, yeah. c:
Magical toe bones~

This isn't at all relevant to Vortian legs, but I just remembered Lard Nar's horns used to swish around when he moved his head around.
Now imagine him doing a horn flip and bein' all, L'oreal, because you're worth it~

Omfg The image I got from that. 8'DDD
WONDERFUL, WIGGLY HORNS.

Okay with this explanation of movement I just end up thinking kangaroo. Kangaroos have a tendon in their feet/legs that acts as a spring when they bounce. They actually use less energy the faster they're moving.
But for Vortians that makes so much more sense! Thanks for making this!

Hahah! That was pretty much one of the anatomical things I used in divining how Vortians travel at faster speeds.
Less effort, the faster they run. Yep, yep. vuv
You're welcome!

I love how even though this is a tutorial you still put some humor into it XD I had some fun reading. I totally accept this headcanon

Heee~Β Thank you!
I'm glad you liked it!

Okay, this is pretty neat. Often Vortian feet and legs are just a matter of personal style, but yeah it's also nice to see a take on it like this to show in the face of purists who might not really understand the science of such designs.
I can agree with these parts completely

Always gotta show the science sometime. It's a breath of fresh air after a while. c:
Bouncing and hopping sure do have their merits of cuteness, that's for sure, lol.

This certainly makes a lot of sense to me. It also falls in pretty close with the head cannon I've used in RP's.
One slight difference though, is that, personally, I always figured the lower tips of their legs were flexable enough to allow them to walk/run in a manner similar to a paralympic athlete using "Flex-Foot Cheetah" running blades (kinda like the ones used by Oscar Pistorius)

It is? Neato! Seems like my theories aren't as far-fetched as they seemed at first. :3
Walking and trotting shouldn't really be a problem for Vortians since they're slower gaits and they can coordinate themselves much easier. Interesting concept to use for the dashing, however.

I was thinking the same thing. Or those springy extreme-sports stilts to give a longer, bounding stride with the ability to jump too.

This is amazing! *v*
I personally LOVE Vortains anatomy and I think your Vort-anatomy is the best I've seen so far x3
I love the fact that you don't make these pony legs. I personally think that REALLY doesn't fit fit a Vortain ^^Β°
Sadly I have a Vortain OC with "notmal" legs, like humans have them. My idea was that he is not entirely 100% Vort.
But now when I look at my old pictures, I really hate his legs XC
I actually wanna change them because.......Vortain legs look much cooler >v<
And your tutorial motivates me to finally draw his new design!
π: 0 β©: 1
Oho! That's awesome!
I wish you the best of luck with the revamp/altering of your Vort! Get some of them cool springy Vortian legs on him and you'll be ready to go. C:
I'm happy this guide's been so helpful and inspiring to you in the meantime.
π: 0 β©: 1
Oh yes, I will, and it will look incredible xP
I mean, i never had any problems with Vortain legs, the anatomy made sense to me. I just had that one Vort Oc with straight legs.
but seeing this guide made me remember how awesome these legs look and that i really should change the design of my Oc.
Thank you for wishing me luck x33

Cau, I hope you realize that you really do just throw all sorts of sense around when it comes to anatomy. Your silly little brain obviously has something in there that's mastered anatomy, and I commend you for that. It's not easy at all, and while I have a natural knack for proportion and anatomy, I'm still learning all of the different muscles and bones, and I'm getting to the point where I'm having to nail my hands to the walls in order to... well drawing isn't very easy at that point, but I need to nail my feet to the ground and work on it. So for that, good work! You get a congratulatory heugh.
HEUGH!

I'm happy to be of such help to you and so many other people. And I'm super glad that just about everything that I touched on made sense in one way or another.
And thank you for the congratulatory grump Heugh! I shall treasure this accomplishment. >u>

Hell yes! This is just perfect! x3 I love all them Vortian legs, such shape, such form Pardon my fangasm xD
The tutorial is brilliant! You explained everything really well and with so much personality I love it. All your pics here are wonderful and hilarious xD
And you brought up some really good points about Vortians leg structure and how they walk and balance :3
Thank you for making this Cau~ It is really helpful

Thank you and you're welcome! I'm so happy that it's going to be of use to you and so many other people!
I might do more tutorials in the future, in this case. Since this was so well-received, why not make another for something else? :'D

i still kinda have the headcanon that they'd run like a humanoid speciesΒ
but they'd be able to have longer strides and would be a lot fasterΒ

OMG! This is amazing! You're a genius uvu
Thank yo so much for showing this to us!

Awww, thank you!
And you're welcome! It's always nice to help others learn how to become better artists through the miracle of anatomy. c: <3
