Description
The final design for Miles (from my short story Tailbone, nearly complete!)I really worked on this character for a while, trying different approaches and different ideas. He is part human, part animal, and the biggest problem was where to position the shoulder blades, which sit on the back of the ribcagein primates, but forward on dogs and cats. Lemurs were the best inspiration as they had the hands of monkeys and shoulders of dogs, though in the end I settled for a squirrel monkey frame instead.
He usually doesn't wear clothes but does for the sake of humans that feel uncomfortable.

I really like this design! I love the concept of mixing animal and human characteristics (I have a sphinx character and I also play Endless Forest, where my character is a deer with a human face ). This works really well too, you made the anatomy look very convincing.

thanks ^^ in the story people react to him differently. He has an adoptive human family, so they find it hardest to stand up against opposition and prove they love him regardless.

Sounds like you've put a lot of thought and emotion into the story. You need to share some of it with us sometime!

I can honestly say I've never seen anything like this before- certainly not anything where the anatomy looks like it could work. It's both adorable and unsettling.

thanks! I wanted his anatomy to be as real as possible. Gotta love life drawing it really helped in this case.
