Help with reference hunting?
Added 2021-11-16 11:23:00 +0000 UTCOkay, in preparation for bird head in January we will probably need one bird feet, while still at it I think we can squeeze in a three toed digitigrade scalie foot (since they're rather similar in structure.) and since a lot of you have been asking for them.
My problem is where to begin to look for references, so I thought that why not ask you patreons if you have any good pictures of them to get me a good feel of how they would look like?

2021-12-09 03:11:55 +0000 UTCSo I went through a LOT of e621 stuff to pick out a good average. These will probably fit many people's criteria. They'd Work well from anything from Dragon to Kangaroo https://e621.net/posts/236166 https://e621.net/posts/391329 https://e621.net/posts/638330 this one shows how a lot of people like to draw the heel https://e621.net/posts/793763 Being used on an Avian https://e621.net/posts/1015587 https://e621.net/posts/1344532 I see that flat edge on the heel in a lot of these. Could be a good attachment point for a dewclaw https://e621.net/posts/1457945

2021-11-18 00:42:43 +0000 UTCI think I'll throw in a little something as well. I did an approach more from the gaming point of view and the first two bird-characters that immediately came to mind were Kazooie and Revali while they are both a lot more comic-like touched maybe the combination from Brownmane and this might do the trick: https://i.imgur.com/V2ZuEXt.jpg https://i.imgur.com/FSAUtVn.png

2021-11-16 21:14:48 +0000 UTCSo wait, references for bird feet or three-toed lizard feet? Though I suppose that’s a bit of a redundant question since, presumably, the three-toed lizard foot would essentially be a variant of the bird foot. Here’s a little something a quick search for bird feet/talons got me: https://i.pinimg.com/originals/5c/57/50/5c5750171cd7f6dab4900b4ed0a8d676.jpg https://media.istockphoto.com/illustrations/various-birds-feet-illustration-id641264492 http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-ADk8q8uUmnE/UaFgjsbEBmI/AAAAAAAAIeA/LIRDORMV5U0/s1600/DwgBirdsFeet1.jpg You’ll note that the shape, position and even the number of toes varies wildly, depending on which species we’re talking and what their specific type of talon is adapted for. Since we’re going for generic, though, the three-toes-forward-one-toe-backward style, useful for perching and hunting, would best fit that bill. Will be easy to turn into a lizard foot, too, by reducing the backwards toe into a dewclaw or outright getting rid of it.
