to the anus, you'll see they are right next door. Considering the
size of the picture, yes, that would look very close to the same
spot. If you look at the Lori's ass pics or similar, you'll see what
I mean - it isn't far away!

so you can see how things go! There is no shame in 'checking against
the original'!
Aside from head construction and other skeletal intricacies, I've
also been studying the separation and direction of fur on a body, as
well as the various densities and textures. The new stuff should be
pretty cool; I just hope it won't turn folks away.

You'll never have to worry about turning folks away if the studies are improving your skills at portraying characters and making a good thing better.
