Bad anatomy implications

Posted under Tags

The whole bad anatomy tag is wrong. It's being used for things that are anatomically correct but just (subjectively) poorly drawn. It's turned back into the old poorly drawn tag that we got rid of in topic #13153.

Bad feet is for poorly drawn feet, while wrong foot is for anatomically incorrect feet, i.e. having two left feet or two right feet (or in other words, the big toe is in the wrong place). Likewise, bad hands is poorly drawn hands and wrong hand is anatomically incorrect hands.

Artistic error is the tag we're using for things that are actually anatomically incorrect: extra digits (mistakenly drawing six fingers or six toes), extra hands/extra legs (mistakenly drawing three hands or three legs), wrong foot/wrong hand (mistakenly drawing two right hands or two right feet). So now we've got artistic error for actual bad anatomy and bad anatomy to mean poorly drawn.

Not to mention that many things tagged bad anatomy are really more like bad proportions (they're anatomically correct in that the body parts are in the right place, but the proportions are off).
