Zelaphas Anthro Style Guide — Description
Those who have been following me on Patreon (patreon.com/zelaphas ) have been able to see me working on all the illustrations for this (AND can see them in higher resolution right now!). So, join me on Patreon to see stuff like this, get rewards, and help me reach my next goal!

I wanted to make an anthro style guide to that those who commission me have a clear idea of exactly what they're getting, and so that those who approach me with "furry" characters can know what I'm talking about when I offer to draw things in a more "anthro" style. My art style is best suited for more animal than human representations; For some people that'll be great! For others, they may want to work with someone else. Either way, if you've always had all "furry" art, all your life, maybe give me a try showing you something else?

I also made the guide below to help with getting commissions from me in the above styles.

Here's a quick note on themes that I like and dislike:

Like: Fantasy and science fiction, bar and tavern or drinking scenes, interesting fashion (from any era, but especially contemporary fashion), vagabonds or wanderers, rare or interesting animal species, warriors and fighting poses, magic and alchemy, ancient scrolls and books, mounts and pets

Dislike: Any adult themes (romance or flirting/intrigue is fine), average clothing and fashion (basic shirts and pants), lifeless poses (exceptions for some "floating" feral poses or when making ref sheets), scenes from modern life (driving a car, using a smartphone, being in class, etc.)
