Daily Sketches #4: Slow-Burn Demi Edition (Patreon)

Aaaand here’s #4, so 22-28! A bit out of order relative to the Discord posts, but I wanted all the slow burn Demi tf hoof stuff in one spot. <3

“High Top Hooves” Demi cow, trying to capture a good blend of human and bovine hind hooves, and get some practice on cloven hooves which I have identified as an anatomy area in which my skills have been sorely unpracticed! So that kicked off some slow burn tf sketches over the past couple weeks. Converse with how they’re con structed as well I think just make the absolute best shoes to burst out of in tfs.

“Losing Your Grip #1” the same, contunuing with forehooves! Love thinking about what it would feel like to support yourself on these for the first time, especially with the bone structure here. There’s more of a “pad” than I thought there was anatomically, and TBH cloven hooves feel a lot closer hyper evolved paws than I thought of them as, even though academically I’ve always been aware that’s what they are ? Dunno lol, just didn’t think about it.

“Wardrobe Malfunction #1”: Udders, omg. This was tough, there’s not exactly much in the way of references for how or where an udder would hang on a bipedal creature. They’re very soft and saggy, and I think would slot right into the spot between the crotch and the belly button, where the belt buckle would be on low rise jeans. Whatever the case, it’ll preclude pants lol. There’s also a bit more flex than I realized in the forehooves, so you could totally poke and pinch a bit with them.

“Wardrobe Malfunction #2”: The cow condition continues! Wondered what it would take to imply a whole sequence was slow burn with one inset, and I think it works… alright enough. I need to refine how to imply slow-ness in tf like this. That first moment of being an obligate quadruped tho, a demi bovine wouldn’t even be able to rear up like a demi dog would!

“Accessories Included”: Whoops, crossed the threshold! More animal than human now, alright lets get tags these on there so you don’t get mixed up on the farm. Wanted to try a more detailed hair texture since I have curls and curls are important defining features, I have a big problem with same face-ness between my drawings and I want to fix that lol. Also cow eyes are weird.

“Flip Flop Clip Clops”: Moving on to deer, which are VERY similar but also entirely different?? Longer, weirder, and really emphasizes the claw quality of cloven hooves even more than bovines.

“Wardrobe Malfunction #2”: And the claws, especially here, these creatures really are just walking around on tippy toe claws, evolution is amazing at what it makes work. There’s more flex between the toes of deer forehooves than cow, but I think the longer nature of them might make them less functional. Even if you can pick something up, dunno that you’d be able to do much with it, pencil added to demonstrate lmao.
