What is better for furry characters, snout or human-like face

So I'm having trouble picking one of these 2, because sometimes the characters look better with a human-esque face. Also, the damage they take are some of which humans take, like laying down face first on to something.

Sometimes a character will get punched in the face, and their face will get caved in like this:

Sometimes a character will not only get grabbed by the mouth, but their entire face:

So which is better out of the 2? I really, REALLY want to know.

I'm planning on making commissions to get these characters drawn. I want them in a 90's anime style.

PUNCHED IN ALL THE WAY!!

RedDragonCats17

I don't think that's one of the 2 choices, friend.

(Sorry for the EXTREMELY late reply, I honestly didn't know if I wanted to reply or even how to)

Jilla

Oh, sorry haha snout….

Jilla

I guess.

RedDragonCats17

Alright, that's 1 for snout. Anybody else?

@Yamatsu

Give them a snoot! That way, instead of simply grabbing the face, you could clamp their jaws down to prevent them from opening their mouth. Then you could throw him into a wall or something, I don't know. Also, there's more snoot surface-area that could lead to a broken nose or jaw rather than a flat human face.

That's the problem that I see when giving them the snout, they'll also, possibly, have a disfigured face when their snout is also broken, but 2 for the snout I guess.

Anybody else?

@PastelTart

I think you should give them a human face because I completely agree with the disfigured face thing. Also because of the thing where you could throw him. I mean, why give him a snout if people are going to use it to throw him across the room, right?

@Lunar_Eclipse

Give 'em snout…
No reason…

@PastelTart

Why?

RedDragonCats17

Okay, we got a different vote now. That's 1 for the human face.

Anybody else? I'll go for 5 votes for either one of those to determine what I'm going to use once I get these characters commissioned (when I get the money).

@PastelTart

You know, you could just draw 2 pictures of the OC. One with a human face, and one with a snout. Decide which one looks better, and go with that one.

RedDragonCats17

While that does sound like a good idea, the thing is that I've lost interest in drawing a long time ago.

@Lunar_Eclipse

Why?

Idkkk..I just like snouts on characters lol. I have a half wolf half human character and she has a snoot and I love her soooo, yee…

RedDragonCats17

3 for the snout.

Personally I prefer the snout for aesthetic reasons, but everything you've described sounds like a human face would work better for whatever it is you're planning so I'd say go with that.

@PastelTart

Yeah…

RedDragonCats17

So human face is your answer then?

headed west

i say you should do human face

RedDragonCats17

3 for human face then.

@Yamatsu

What happens if this ends up being a tie?

RedDragonCats17

We shall see.

@PastelTart

Cool. In my opinion, if you give the character a snout, it would make more sense if it was a walking, talking animal.

RedDragonCats17

I guess. Some furry characters do have snouts, and because of the art style, they look good regardless.

@PastelTart

Okay.

RedDragonCats17

Anybody else got something?

RedDragonCats17

Necrobump, because I still want to know if the human face is better or the snout.

Sorry if I'm being rude, but I really want to know. And I found the artist that I want to commission to draw these characters. He's/she's on Deviantart and I found out this person on a live stream I was watching earlier.

It is likely that I'll go for the human face at this point, but what do you guys think?

@Wheeze_For_Me

Oh god you guys are such furries.

@Yamatsu

Even if we were, what's it to you?
