Description
Do dragons count as fantasy animals? You'd think, wouldn't you? But the answer, according to Deviantart, is no. Evidently all fantasy animals count as anthro now... And as a dragon isn't really anthropomorphic, I'm putting it into the category 'swords and sorcery'. A copywrite-friendly version of dungeons and dragons, maybe?Oh, deviantart... why does your sorting system become more nonsensical with each upgrade?
I wonder how all the griffin/dragon/other fantasy animal artists feel about getting lumped into the 'anthro' category.
I was thinking of going to Dragoncon next year, and I'd have to make up a body of work for it. That is, if they don't kick me out for having furry not-dragons

Yeah they really need to add a fantasy beast category of some sort as well as mythology, historical, and probably a bunch of others ;D
Lovely work as always

Admittedly, your dragons look more like griffins to me but regardless of that, your pencil work rocks! I need to learn how to beat my pencil into submission like that. Love the avatar.

Poor mommy is wondering what she will suffer with this one... It will probably be the kind of child that get stuck in tree...

Amazing work, just like everything else you do, I'm a huge fan.
But I want to say that the description of dragons as anthro instead of fantasy animal isn't completely assanine, if you think about it. Most Dragons if not all have been attributed with amazing intellect that is as good or greater than a human, and since the definition of anthro is giving human characteristics to nonhuman creatures or beings, Dragons can be considered more anthropomorphic than simply fantasy creatures, since other fantasy creatures tend to be more animalistic functioning on instinct.
I'm not saying it isn't weird, I just wanted to say the point is arguable.
Still an amazing piece.
