AlectorFencer

AlectorFencer is a female artist from Germany. She draws mainly fantasy and anthropomorphic art using both traditional and digital mediums, and is best known for her Plant Spirit art pieces.

I strongly suggest that you full view these pieces are they are quite large and often very detailed.

Sketchi

Sketchi, or Lily is an animator from Toronto, Canada, whos goal is the rule the world by surpassing Miyazaki. At 22 years old, she might have a way to go, but she is a determined girl so who knows what she will achieve. Sketchi says she enjoys doodling, reading and black holes, to name but a few things. Sketchi is currently working on a short animation, which I have been lucky enough to see a few test animations and concept sketches of, and I am very much looking forward to hopefully seeing the rest!

Creatures from El

Ellen is from Ontario, Canada. She has been sculpting from a young age and prefers to take inspiration from natural phenomena rather than trends within the art world. Ellen sees sculpting as being about life and ideas, a 'biological narrative, a cultural statement' and though it takes many hours to create a piece, it is worth it.

Ellen has a degree in Biological Anthropology and Art Critique from McMaster University. She had already started Creature from El in her teenage years and has been producing and selling sculptures on the side while studying. Now that she has graduated, Creatures from El is in full swing and she is taking commissions starting at $100 CND for a sculpture measuring 8-9 inches.

jaecn

jaecn is a male artist from China who specialises in digital, anthro art.

Anthro is when an animal has more human characteristics. Usually anthropomorphic characters will look like an animal/human cross and have the animals ears, tail, fur and so on, or alternatively a human with animals qualities, such as a girl with cats ears and a tail. However some artists prefer their characters to still look like an animal but have the ability to talk. They are predominantly based on mammals, though there are also artists who draw other anthro animals.
