And when people actually take that advice it looks like the tail is being pooped out. I personally think it's better to take a little artistic liberty with the tail placement than to try and make it "anatomically correct" just because it's more pleasing to the eye and let's face it, if we're being "anatomically correct" no aspect of TF is possible.

I agree with TF-Viewer. Realistically, the tail would be coming out of the crack of the ass rather than the top of it, and I personally find the latter is much more visually appealing. Perhaps the coccyx could, theoretically, retract as this "second tail" takes over?

EDIT: To back up TF-Viewer's argument, I point you out to Lessthanhuman's iconic and brilliant image.

meh, i still stand corrected:


heres a *brilliant* painting of a girl with a tail at the right spot:


oh yeah, heres a really cool artist on DA that has a knack for drawing girls with tails: http://lexxie55.deviantart.com/

oh, and to further back my ass up, heres a quote from another *brilliant* werewolf artist on the web:

I should note that I am bothered by a trend I’ve seen among some artists where the character’s tail protrudes from the back at a 90-degree angle, often even above the character’s beltline. It’s just not anatomically correct. I don’t care that they do that in anime. It’s just plain wrong!

point taken.
