Awww that's like a kindergartener's finger painting!

Oh well, why did you sacrifice Cenny? =P

thumbs up (3 of them)

What's with that thing's feet?

Maybe it's going toward the head? I'm not sure. Zoph can answer that. =D

No it's just that it's a squirrel thing that has human feet.

Oh. Well, I don't think it's a squirrel. Lol. I'm not sure, though....

Wow, it really has been too long since I last drew her... Not a squirrel, an anthropomorphic mazzelh. Not sure what you're referring to when you say "what's with", but it's either something about the sketchy pose or the "there's only two toes, correct?

I think he was referring to the "there's only two toes." Because he said, something about the anthropomorphic mazzelh's feet/foot. =P

I know, I just figured it could also have been something about how they're positioned~

I thought it was the positioning at first though. Until I read his post again. I realized that he meant the feet/foot, toes...At least, we know what he meant know. =D

*Sigh* No peoples it's that they're humanesque and doesn't really fit the "Mazzehl" but I didn't know it was a made up thingy so nvr mind.

Aw, but they're not really any more human-esque than the rest of her... Opinion, of course, but... Well yeah. Three-fingered hands, two-fingered toes, a humanish build, long tail, muchly different head... *shrug*

Wow Zophia you're great, I want to adopt-a-Mazzehl! But what does anthropomorphic mean?

The Wikipedia article here covers the term quite broadly.

In this case, it is specifically a mazzelh given human qualities - a humanoid body-shape and more recognizable speech and behaviour than a normal mazzelh would exhibit.

A normal mazzelh could also be called anthropomorphic, as they're capable of what we label as sentient thought and can learn to speak understandable languages, but in the general setting of my little fantasy worlds this is not considered a human-specific trait, so applying the term anthropomorphic there feels a bit redundant.
