So, here's a question about preference. I've noticed that when it comes to padding to redesign the body shape, like for digitigrade legs, people often pad in the front of the leg and the back to achieve the desired look.
What about padding on the sides of the hips and arms? I've seen examples of padding done both ways, but when would you use the extra padding and when would it be best to not have it? For example, Komickrazi's digi legs tutorial doesn't have thigh padding and looks really great, while TaishiroYu shows that her costume has side padding and it also looks awesome.
So when should extra padding be added and when is it best not to (or, if it's a question of species, which species should have that padding and which would be best served without)?
