Do you visualize Redwall's animals as operating on two or four legs?

Yeah, that's a better example to show!

I just looked at the UK cover of The Rogue Crew and an otter drawn wearing shorts looks pretty awkward, like the illustrator couldn't quite work out whether drawing the legs like that to enable shorts really worked or not.

Just to quote myself, because it dawned on me a few hours ago that it was the High Rhulain cover, not The Rogue Crew I was looking at, in case anybody had a look at the cover and thought, 'what on Earth is she on about?' ;D

This one?


This is the copy I have, and yeah, that otter with the karate pants pants looks wonky.

Aye. I don't think most creatures had pants at that time... if it is a medieval setting.

I don't remember many characters written with pants.

MeadowR

Yep! That's the version I meant! It doesn't look right even in thumbnail form.

That's one argument against trousers in the Redwall universe!

It can be done, but again with a more cartoony style.

If yer gonna draw 'em realistic like that, maybe...lay off the pants. Because it looks awkward.

There's also the Winifred principle from the tv series. Just randomly don't give any clothes to otters.

I guess it has to do with the otters swimming...

That was an odd decision. The fact the animals are wearing clothes at all means that the otter would be considered naked. (And that will just simply not do. Hem hem. !) She should at least have had a thin tunic suitable for diving into the water.

Consider that the show was for kids who don't understand those things...

Ashleg is having flashbacks to the character he drew that y'all said needed clothes.

Personally, I think clothes are optional for animals.
Most of them don't even wear pants. And sometimes ones that 'do' wear ONLY pants.

So...
Don't see why it's okay to only have one but neither would be taboo.

The Skarzs

Why? Because people visuallize things differently. :P
