so I'm making a full satyr costume and my intention for the hooves was to more or less follow this guy's concept, with the hooves on a hinge (not pictured but he explained that they're also attached from the top center with elastic, so they don't fall too far downward), and I like this in theory because it preserves the way the bottoms of platform heels are curved for a more natural gait, where a lot of Hoof Shoes build a platform onto the bottom and make it completely flat

... but in practice I WAS intending to make my hooves out of apoxie sculpt, and I am a LITTLE concerned that if hooves like this made of a hard solid material instead of soft eva foam swivel down too far and catch on the floor when I'm trying to take a step I'll eat shit and break my neck

#if they're made of foam I can accidentally hit the edge of them and they'd just squish out of the way.... but maybe I'm overthinking this #his legs and hooves are also still the best and most natural looking Satyr Look I've seen yet #unfortunately I'm not doing legs like this because the benefits of 'it looks good and I don't have to figure out how to make pants'#were outweighed by 'trying to costume around my whole entire ass being out' gkfjhdfkg #admittedly the flat chonky platforms ARE probably a lot easier to stand up in lol #not that I've practiced wearing mine very much without the heels but it's WAY easier to walk in them than to stand still #but I also like-- in theory-- the idea of the hooves having some mobility for a more natural look in motion #WE'LL SEE MAN. I'M KINDA WINGING A LOT OF THIS HERE LOL #about me
