Description
The foot is the lower part of a leg below the ankle that makes contact with the ground while standing, walking, and other physical activities. Most characters with legs will also have feet attached to them. The most common types of feet include humanoid feet, paws, and hooves. Although other types of feet exist such as webbed feet and the foot structure of birds.
Toes are appendages attached to the end of a foot. Common features of toes may include toenails, claws, and talons. The underside of the foot is referred to as a sole, and may feature a spongy like surface known as a paw pad.
Tagging guidelines
- The tag is used when a character's foot is visible in the image. If there is no clothing present on the foot and the character is otherwise clothed, the barefoot tag should also be used.
- Paws, and hooves that function as feet should be tagged as feet. Those tags do not imply `feet`, but may apply to feet.
Tagging checklist
Not all designs may cleanly fit into one of these categories.
