Granted, said body type has been used for characters like Gale in the Housepets style.

In regards to the 2nd part of your comment, I think the two best examples of that body type in the comic are Gale, as you said, and Miles, with their most recent appearances linked for convenience. To me, it looks like with that body type, generally the pectorals are more rounded/drawn with slightly softer curves on the female, and there's a tuft of hair near the groin on the male that's absent on the female. Of course, that's not always the case in the comic, shown by this page where there essentially are no differences, though granted it was drawn 2 years ago and his style for the comic has changed slightly. The differences I just mentioned are more exaggerated in the style of the piece being discussed, in addition to the female body having less-defined abdominal muscles than the male.

Full disclosure, I'm not the biggest fan of Rick's more "mature" style as it tends to toe the sfw/nsfw line much closer than I like.

I laid out some of the differences I can spot above.

dr_eirik wrote: ↑Fri Jan 22, 2021 12:12 pm Also keep in mind that he does it on a request basis. While I think he promises one sketch per requester ever 4-6 months (I think) that number has extended a touch as he's had more patrons. He also tends to do them on a theme, though that's often just a word, like "Wet" or "Summer" or other basic idea.

It just can’t.

Is this the fabled Alpha-Housepets that Rick made with his brother?!
