Image description:
A person is working at a desktop computer. Narration: "Sometimes when you're typing..."
Narration: "...With phantom claws..." The person is now shown as a gryphon, with their claws punched through the keyboard.
In exasperation, the gryphon struggles to get their claws out of the keyboard.
End description.
I'm not satisfied with this one, since therianthropes' phantom sensations don't work like this! A therianthrope can feel like their claws were passing through a keyboard, but it wouldn't make anything happen like this. I was trying to work with old (1997-ish) slang from the dragon community on alt.fan.dragons. They had a running joke that they'd hired a typist due to their claws, blaming them for typing mistakes. Then they called their human, physical body their "typist."

Date: 2005-09-24 11:07 pm (UTC)Some cultures (ancient Egyptian, mostly, and Chinese) believed that personality and life were things of the nose, as the nose is a defining part of the face (personality, character) and is used for breathing (life). As such, a big nose is a good thing. Personally, I think any naturally-occurring nose shape is pretty.
Deliberate, yes, and a bit of an attempt to make the gryphon keep looking like xirself in either form. It's deliberate also in that one of my goals with the artwork in Theri There is to portray people with a variety of facial features (and hairstyles, body shapes, ethnicities, genders, etc) instead of having all the characters be clones of one another.
