THE INTRO:
'Anthro – a synonym for anthropomorphism in the furry fandom'
Anthropomorphism is the attribution of uniquely human characteristics and qualities to nonhuman beings, inanimate objects, or natural or supernatural phenomena. Anthropomorphic is a word meaning "like a human." It is used to describe a well-known concept called anthropomorphism: ascribing human characteristics to a non-human being or object. (...) the word can apply to any non-human thing, including animals, plants, and inanimate objects.
~from Wikipedia and Wikifur~
As many of you know, there is a persistent cliché that anthro only means animals with human features, but the term, as you just read, includes not only animals but all kinds of vegetables, objects, and items, from your garden cactus to your toothbrush, as long as they are drawn with human-like characteristics, including:
We can see animal-based anthros in our galleries everyday, but it's quite uncommon to find non-animal anthropomorphic creatures. So, for this contest, the goal is to prove that the stereotype is not always true. So be creative and show us what you can do creating your own NON-ANIMAL anthro.
Good examples are:

- Walk upright
- Human features
- The bone structure of a human, with some of its animal/vegetable/item counterpart (i.e. a cat-anthro that although looks like a human, can jump like a cat).

Walk like an undead anthro...
:star: Last years have been really complicated Not only unable to draw or create new art, but to even get online and check these pages. Many things changed, and I needed to focus on them... So I just seemed to vanish.
But I want things to change and come back to normal ... or, at least, try my best to do it. First step has been to get my skifi dot net page back to life. Hosting issues and nightmarely complicated bureaucracy shut it down a year ago, and now, after moving it to a spanish server, it's working again. I need to build it again from the bare bones, but, still, it's a first step...
Also, I'm back to
Back to work
First mission
:star: So, to my surprise, I have been commissioned to design a mascot It's supposed to be for a Volunteer Emergency Team, and I'm still trying to get a good idea. First I thought about a brave anthro ambulance, then I got the image of a rescue dog, snowy mountains style.... So many possibilities, I'm still pondering them.
Suggestions and bright fresh ideas are welcome
