"Anthropomorphic" is a big, scary looking word. Your random factoid for the day: anthropomorphic means humanlike. Something is anthropomorphic when it takes on the characteristics and behaviors of a human being.

For this contest, we want you to turn animals into anthropomorphic entities. Illustrate animals which have decidedly human characteristics and behaviors. They might have human eyes or entire human faces and bodies beneath their fur... they might strut around on two legs with their tails in the air. They might be regular animals doing human activities - such as squirrels going waterskiing. Any animal can be given human qualities and behaviors - the possibilities are truly endless. Please keep in mind that this is an all-ages contest, and of course no animal/human mating rituals may be depicted.

The rules of the game are thus: In any style or medium, create an image for the theme, "Anthropomorphic Animals", in accordance with Worth's illustration contest rules. NO PHOTO TRACING OR PAINTOVERS. You'll have 7 (seven) days for this contest, so make your submission count.

Please take the extra few minutes and list/link your references, as per the illustration guidelines.
