Thank you to Tim Weeks for the suggestion; I started on a Starfox fan picture and it eventually turned into . . . a little bit more. To be honest I always kinda liked the theory that, at least in the old Starfox continuity, the pilots had metal legs. Don't worry, if they needed to go back to civilian life I'm sure they could clone new ones.
only problem with the old theory as that blood does not pool in the legs x3
but i really do like your rendition of it
Yea. I can't recall what video it was, but some youtube video guy pointed out that in one of the games they're running like 40 mph, which is a more PAWS-able reason for the earlier roboleg models of starfox.
I've never seen a reasonable argument on why blood would not pool in the legs. Yes, I did watch the Game Theory video, and "blood pressure is the only thing that matters" is an extremely sweeping argument that needs a substantial amount more proof.
well real world pilots, no matter what speed, the blood pools in the chest, which is why they have specially designed flight suits to combat that.
honestly i think the reason they have robot legs is because an artist decided it would look cool XB
Couldn't they just wear those flight suits with the bladders in the legs that squeeze in high g to keep the blood from pooling? I had almost forgotten about this fan theory.
" To be honest I always kinda liked the theory that, at least in the old Starfox continuity, the pilots had metal legs" Too bad that never was ever true, never has been officially stated or alluded to, and has been disproven by the Nintendo Power comic, but hey keep believing in baseless rumors that are only popularly known because some Youtube channel said so.
Well, not sure if its THIS guy. But there is one furry guy who is SO OBSESSED with starfox.. That he has to have lengthy rants about how the metal legs dont work on EVERY starfox image.
It gets old after the 5th time.
Hey, dude, I was trying to help you understand why your anatomy was way off. Nice to see this is how you respond to critique and people trying to help you, harboring some sort of grudge and then bringing it up whenever.
Nope. You were asserting your preferences which idgaf about. I've been told by more than a few people you don't take kindly to people drawing sexualized material, especially Starfox. Don't even try it. lol
What the hell are you talking about? There was no preference involved, that head was clearly too small in proportion to the rest of the body. That's it, simple as that. You're the one making it into some sort of giant conspiracy and are making dubious claims that "more than a few people" somehow care this much about me to spread rumors about what I do and don't do.
He does this everywhere and is known for it. Don't ever draw a girl big boobs or you'll feel his wrath something awful.
Dude, are you really holding this much of a grudge? I've only ever left you one comment on your artwork, here https://www.weasyl.com/submission/853248/break-time#cid2402727 and that was all the way back in January.
Disproven by the Nintendo Power Comic
Uhm...

It was kinda a thing.
If you don't like it, fine, but don't be both salty AND stupid about it.
Picture A is non-canon and is based off the puppets that used metal stands. If we're going to take a Nintendo Power cover as fact then Mario looks like this

Picture B shows the metal stands that the puppets used again, the same puppets the NP cover art was based on. They're stands, not legs or boots.
Picture C is from Melee, which is non canon, and they aren't robotic legs and are clearly boots
As for proving this bullshit wrong: http://i.imgur.com/p9l4vv3.png
Slippy is clearly shown to have his natural legs in the Nintendo Power comic, which is official canon tied into the SNES game. He had the same metal boots as the rest of the team before this panel and it isn't an artistic oversight. They never amputated their legs, they never had robot legs, they were always boots.
And I'm the one who is salty and stupid? Just one comment triggered the reaction of a good dozen of you all to reply. Of course you furries love causing drama so I guess I should have expected it.
Random (likely offensive) thought on people who have lost both legs I would totally have absurdly long legs and normal legs just to freak people the fuck out. How does, you height vary by like ten inches? Lost both legs, got two new sets.
This is actually a thing! Folks who have lost limbs specifically going for interesting or stylish prosthesis over "standard" ones. There is even some body mod community discussion on intentionally replacing limbs because the prosthesis works better. I think there was a TED talk on this at some point.

Awesome work! The inclusion of Miyu and Fay is a really nice touch.
