Welcome to Anthro Artists of DA!
In this weekly newsletter, we feature all of the anthro artists of DA, as well as artists who mostly draw animals and other strange mix of creatures! In each issue, there will be four lucky artists who get themselves a feature along with previews to six of their best works listed under their names!

Definition of Anthro-
Anthro (or Anthropomorphism) is the attribution of uniquely human characteristics and qualities to:
-animals
-inanimate objects
-natural phenomena (ex: Viruses, sickness, disease, weather… )
-supernatural phenomena (ex: Ghosts, spirits, magic, spells… )

Anthropomorphized animals (or furries to most people) are the most common anthro forms, but who’s to say there’s an anthro machine (cyborgs and androids) or anthro plant out there?

What is Classified as Anthro?
Please be aware that anthro is still its own genra of art...
Classified
-An animal with human attributes (Ex. A cat riding a bike, a bird painting the house, a dingo wearing human clothing... etc.)
-An inanimate object with human attributes (Ex: A talking cash register, an android showing feelings and emotions... etc.)
Not Classified
-Existing fantasy creatures (Ex: Dragons, Minotaur, mermaids... etc.)
-Humans with animal attributes (Ex: A human with cat ears (anime cat-girls), a dog-like human fetching a ball... etc.)

-- Need help with classification?- If you need help with anthro classification when recommending an artist, or yourself, please contact the newsletter’s author. --

Artists of this issue…
Here are the four lucky artists getting themselves a feature in this week’s issue!


















And that concludes this week’s issue! We hope you enjoyed viewing the featured artwork!

Notice: We need more anthro artists!!

If you are or if you know:
-An anthro artist (remember, anthro means an object, plant, or animal given human characteristics, so anthro toasters, anthro flowers, and even anthro viruses are perfectly okay!)
-An artist who mostly draws anthro (goes to those who do not classify themselves as anthro artists, yet deals mostly with anthros)
-An artist who draws mostly animals
or
-An artist who mostly draws a strange mix of creatures (no human appearances, please. However, human attributes are still required)

please visit ~GuardianSurzsha and leave her a note with a link to the recommended artist’s account, and an explanation to why they deserve to be featured in the next issue. And don’t worry if you are asking to get a feature for yourself! It is perfectly okay! However, do not feel discouraged if you or the recommended artist is rejected.
Remember, only four lucky artists will be featured each week.

Questions?
Please feel free to ask questions or if you wish to know if an artist is legible to be featured in this newsletter. Just send a note, or a message to ~GuardianSurzsha and she will answer as soon as possible.
