Quote: his ears aren't shapes like that>Leafeon's ears are not always straight up like that. They look like they are coming up from the side and curving witht he muzzle, but that's just because of the position of the head. I was trying to give it a more organic, lifelike pose. The ears actually aren't free moving and can bend, as shown here and here.
i fail to see how any of that actually acknowledges anything in his comment other than the word "ears"
