This reminds me of the time I was reading articles about facial reconstruction from skeletons and found a medieval one from Dublin that looked like a stock photo of a hipster
For several millennia every man has just been some guy
i really think art directors need to hire furries (like good furry artists at least) to do concept art on anthropomorphic fantasy things bc for everything wrong with furries like. you give a normal person an art direction like “ok we need humanoid lizards and theyre people in this setting, you want them to be accessible and appealing to the viewer though still distinctly like a reptile” and youll get the worst shit youve ever seen 9 times out of 10 like it will be this awful uncanny human face type shit. but you hire someone who exclusively draws buff dragon men and your result might be suspiciously sexy but infinitely more appealing to most audiences
