Welcome, internet peoples! How would you draw the human version of a golden retriever? No, not an anthropomorphic dog - I mean, how would you depict a human who somehow embodies the traits of a golden retriever? He would be blonde, of course, and because golden retrievers are the poster pups for suburban America, you might even draw him with a football and letter man jacket and a football. How would you draw the human version of a black cat? Most people would probably go for some sort of gothic or witchy girl with black hair, green eyes, and a look of disdain. Now, how would you draw the human version of a poison dart frog, a blue and yellow macaw, or a honey badger? Ok, those are a little harder, but anime artist @rinotuna has the creativity, artistic talent, and zoological knowledge to accurately capture the essence of each animal with his character designs. Scroll down to see just a few of his amazing drawings!
