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

Great dragon. The baby is so cute! I love how you have it's feet and tail sticking up out of the egg like that.


Oh, about dragons in the "anthro" section. Thats not right. If they want to move dragons anywhere but the fantasy section they should move them to the "Animals" section. Dragons are actually real animals. Some scientists found one frozen in an ice cave a few years ago. Animal Planet had a whole documentary about it.

Furred dragons are not a problem if this floats your boat... Flacor had been a furred too . But yeah the classification system sucks... if you dare to make even a "realistic" or "sci-fi" dragon you can't put it anywhere <.=.<

roothragon [2007-10-02 14:45:39 +0000 UTC]

This is so adorable! Must fuzzle it ...

Hmm, well, depending on who you ask, "anthro" doesn't have to mean "bipedal and shaped like a human." I mean, it typically does in furry circles, but not in general. In fact, it can be interpreted as something that isn't human but is like a human in some way (thoughts, emotions, behaviors, and perhaps but not necessarily physical features). A talking chair can be considered 'anthro', even if it makes the furry crowd cringe.

But still ... dragons are sort of in a class of their own. I mean, if you told a dragon, "Hey, you think like a human", they'd probably eat you.
