cjsdowg 04/10/23 11:53:53 PM #1:	I was looking at a picture of Sonic and he had five fingers and for some reason it just looked odd. And that got me thinking of how many characters just have 4. And how for some reason that became standard. Like why do that? And for the ninja turtles, they have 3 fingers and 2 toes. They are turtles. Turtles have 5 digits. Tortoises just have however many digits they feel like. --- "Big Sweaty Otis" -Titus O'Neil <cite>cjsdowg posted [p:972764579] in Isn't odd ...

viewmaster_pi 04/11/23 12:03:46 AM #6:	the thing about that is that with hands often being drawn large for cartoon proportions (think the white gloves for mickey and all that), it's not that one more finger would be too hard to draw, but rather it's very cluttered and busy to animate. it's just a stylistic choice that's stuck around for a long time --- The stone that fell is still falling, so let that stone be a wondrous thing <cite>viewmaster_pi posted [p:972764706] in Isn't odd ...
