Anthropomorphic

A lot of people don't know what an 'anthro' is or what makes it so cool. This is the Merriam-Webster definition of 'anthropomorphic.'

Main Entry: an·thro·po·mor·phic
Pronunciation: "an(t)-thr&-p&-'mor-fik
Function: adjective
Etymology: Late Latin anthropomorphus of human form, from Greek anthrOpomorphos, from anthrOp- + -morphos -morphous
1 : described or thought of as having a human form or human attributes
2 : ascribing human characteristics to nonhuman things

Pretty cool, eh? I draw 'anthros' because I find them to be more humorous and more expressive than your everyday human being. Plus, using an anthropomorphic character allows you to work in two worlds: human and animal.

If you think about it, anthros are everywhere. Take, for example, Looney Toons. Do you really think Bugs is all bunny? He walks on two legs, talks, has an opposable thumb, makes human expressions, and wears clothing on occasion. Bugs is an anthro, boys and girls, like it or not.

Now you know.
