*girly squeal!* :3 Hey, um, I was looking at your sheet just now and I wondering about his legs. When thinking about how his legs would look, I imagine something more like this. It looks more like that in the trailer too. There was a gif somewhere around here that further elaborated on this (but I can't seem to find it >.<) I can't really see him walking around with his heels down. I'm thinking that's how people figure him out.

There was a gif somewhere around here that further elaborated on this (but I can't seem to find it >.<) I can't really see him walking around with his heels down. I'm thinking that's how people figure him out. >w< <3 The thing about that (though a wonderful observation) is that he wears shoes. Shoes that need to bend at the toe in order to look "human" Examples: Now, I bet he'd definitely walk around on his toes like that if he wasn't wearing the shoes. But he's gotta walk as if he's not double jointed. If he walked with the way you've set up his legs, it'd be a lot more obvious to people that something wasn't quite right. You've gotta remember that he naturally walks on only his toes, not the entire foot (which is what makes him double jointed) The structure of his body makes him hunch over naturally when he's walking around in his double-jointed mode (though maybe as not as I've drawn him, I'll need to update that eventually lol) He also walks with big strides. Even if he wasn't hunched over, it'd be hard for him not to take big strides if he was walking around with his double jointed legs 8U. Try walking around like a dinosaur, see how you have to take big strides to maintain balance? Now try and straighten your legs to how you've drawn them there and straighten your back. I just tried it. It's awkward and it makes me walk funny lol. Anyways, there's my over-extended explanation 8U

That still doesn't explain why his calves bend in the middle.
My theory... he's got an extra joint; a second ankle, if you will.

It does certainly seem like he does in some shots, I blame it on angling and perspective ^^; It almost does look like a double ankle in that shot Now, I know he's supposed to be a giant flea, but I see the structure of his legs and I instantly think of a cricket or grasshopper The limb length of course is to match a flea's What makes the legs seem awkward in the flea picture is that the foot turns backwards, something a human foot can't do. Honestly I find it hard to think that he'd have double calves when he's wearing his awesome pants of awesome I can see where you're going with with the double-ankle theory because fleas do have a pretty wacky anatomy. BUT Until we actually see the movie, it honestly is up in the air. Heeeheee, I'm loving this debate <3

Ah same here ^w^ Now, I'm not too sure how crazy the animators wanted to go with the joints in Francoeur's legs. They could have tried to make it as accurate as possible or as human as possible. So looking at his legs, they might have done something like this. I'm thinking the animators might go for a look similar to the one you suggested or the one I suggested. The third one ... seems a bit too complex. XD But you're right, when the movie comes out, we should know more. (it’s still fun to talk about though ;D)

Our ideas are both probably the most reasonable and realistic in context. I just can't wait to see which one is the one the animators go with The third one would make my brain implode a little. How could any animal balance like a human with those joints @-@ -implodes- I'll be sitting in the theater with a sketchbook so I can take notes when it's finally out My GOD we need to make a debate thread just for Francoeur and his design xD

I don't mind at all! Let's see what other people think, because I think both of us have made our points at this point lol
