Repository of Cool Critters
12 years ago
I'm starting a journal to gather up neat animals from 'round the world. I've done things like this before, but those were more for single time practice. This is going to be a persistent list of neat creatures, I'll keep a link to it on my homepage so I can always check it over and other people can always find it to add to it.
It's rather simple- if you ever see an animal and think "That would look pretty neat as an anthro" then stick it in this journal! I make no promises, but I may one day pass by and decide to draw it up.
There are really no rules at all. If you think something looks neat and might make for a cool anthro character, put 'er here and there's a chance it may happen. Just a nice way for people to say "Hey, you should draw this thing!"
That is all, thanks for your time!

Other than that I guess just the giant otter: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Giant_otter ---- but I don't know how that would differ from drawing a normal otter. XD
It's like a mini deer, with a piggy nose and huge soul stealing eyes.

I guess I don't see a lot of red pandas either, though they do show up now and then. They're pretty cool.

None of that fancy shmancy animal things other people are saying. );
A butterfly o:

Some are gonna be "common" (rather, uncommon/rare but still done already), as mere suggestions.
I'll separate them by family.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Back-striped_weasel
That's my contribution... xP
And yes, I just went through wikipedia, looking at various animal families, picking what I liked xD
I'm sure there's some there that have not really been done (like the Fishing Cat and Raccoon Dog), and none are "common" imo.

BTW, I searched your gallery for groundhogs. FA didn't find anything with "@lower ruaidri & keywords groundhog", so I felt it was safe to ask/request here.
...Wait, you hate drawing wings. Sorry, I forgot... x3
