Good. That's all that matters. And, as you explained that the male is physically 20% larger than the female, it all makes perfect sense.Artistically, I do prefer the one I drew with the left one appearing much smaller

So that artist could have compared the height of his steps against the published breed standard height of that type of dog.
As long there is something man-made within your scene, you can almost always take measurements from it to resize other imported elements.
Our only clue to scale is the two Muskox. So, we're forced to compare one to the other to ascertain their relative sizes. And, because one is noticeably smaller, that's probably why it appears to be younger.
It’s very kind of you THANK YOU
Yes, I think it does tell the story and it is definitely not recession. I appreciate how you see the smaller Muskox as female based on the difference of expression from the male.Mike Sibley wrote: ↑Thu Feb 15, 2024 8:03 pm The size difference - given their closeness - can only be size and not recession. I don't even have to know the females are smaller, because your smaller Muskox has a lovely soft feminine expression - where the male looks friendly but more alert.
I wasn't going to go into that... because I can't get my head around it.
