Genetic engineering may. Human skin can produce hair, it only needs to grow longer, and maybe include certain pigments. (The result would likely look more like Chewbacca than like a cute anime character though.)
- BobaFloutist 2y agoThe difference between Chewbacca and a cute anime character has more to do with a visit to the salon than any underlying body architecture.
- nine_k 2y agoTrue, but eye size and the shape of the jaw are harder to alter in a salon. (In 50 years though, who knows!)
- ben_w 2y agoFWIW, for furries there is a whole spectrum of different options on the realism vs. cartoony axis, so eye size may not be part of it. OTOH, overall skull shape is much harder than just putting on a muzzle, as the phenotypes of the corresponding common real species often have eyes much closer to the top of their skulls than we do. And those eyes have a different spacing than ours. Basically there's a lot to consider if you want to aim for "realistic".
