It was never my intention fur these to be considered anthro, but some people have told me that they are.

So what does it mean fur something to be anthro to you? Are aliens anthro? If yes, then at what point does something stop being/become anthro?

I classify anything that is cuter than a human to be anthro.

>serious hat
The reason why me and other anons assumed those designs were anthro is because they have some animalistic features to them. The horns, the noses, and the long ears looked anthro enough to us. Anthro or not, they are very cute regardless. These designs are way better than just humans but with a coat of paint.

>What does it mean to be anthro?
Fur something to be anthro, it must a humanoid that happens to have animalistic features. In short, it’s a talking animal person.

>Are aliens anthro?
Depends a lot on the execution of the design. If it’s just a human with a coat of paint, not anthro.
If the majority of its features that can be compared to an animal, it’s probably an anthro if it stands on two legs.

>At what point does a design stop being anthro?
I would say it stops being anthro when it’s just an animal that walks on its fours or a human with barely any anthro features (ie those anime girls with animal ears slapped on them).

That makes sense. My personal definition was always a real animal with human characteristics. But if something like sergals or protogens are considered anthro, then I suppose my aliens (they are called nodes) would be anthro too.

>Depends a lot on the execution of the design. If it’s just a human with a coat of paint, not anthro. If the majority of its features that can be compared to an animal, it’s probably an anthro if it stands on two legs.
So would you say: 
vulcan and asari =/= anthro
elite and predator = anthro
>>51994
>elite = anthro
I would say the elites are anthro in their own special way. They are basically their own species, so I have seen people make sonas out of these fellas. 
>predator =/= anthro
That creature looks too human fur me. It’s basically a seaman but with a fluffed up face. It has no snoot and I have seen no one make sonas out of this guy.

This is true. 
They are basically humans with a coat of paint.

Anything with the morph of a human is anthropomorphic by the very meaning of the word, furry, scalie, or otherwise. I say monsters too, except when they are direct variations of humanity, i.e. zombies, rather than being human-like. 
Take fire and water, and give them human minds and bodies, and now you've got a Pixar film.
Now tell me where this handsome individual lies on the spectrum.

"Anthros" has always implied anthro version of animals. Elites aren't anthro and neither are sergals because they are not based on animals.

Fantasy creatures can be anthro doe.

>"Anthros" has always implied anthro version of animals.
This is always what I assumed. But that's the problem with using the term anthro, because anthropomorphism can be applied to anything, not just animals. Furry leaves less room fur misinterpretation, but people don't like the associations that come with that term.

>because they are not based on animals.
I think this wrong. Elites are lizard people with split mandibles and sergals are just furry sharks. They are not directly based on a particular species, but there is still some inspiration.


>Fantasy creatures can be anthro doe.
>Kitsune, tanuki, unicorns, etc.
He brings up a good point too. Kitsunes are not real animals yet they are considered anthro.
>inb4 they are based on foxes
I already mentioned the inspiration fur elites and sergals so you'll have to specify the point at which something is no longer anthro in your opinion.
