So far I have been accepting pictures of "tailmouth" characters - Well, ones that say that they are tailmouth/another animal.
But I'm having a bit of trouble in the department of whether they actually count as hybrid anthro.

Tailmouths, as far as I can see, are just regular anthros with a mouth that has a tail. I understand that they're their own species, but would this fall along the lines of "angelic wolf" or "demonic cat" which we don't currently accept? "Tailmouthed tiger"?

I fully accept fantasy/mythology creatures into the group, so a grypho ]]> http://hybridanthro.deviantart.com/journal/New-anthro-group-Check-it-out-332431646 http://hybridanthro.deviantart.com/journal/New-anthro-group-Check-it-out-332431646 Sun, 14 Oct 2012 14:53:57 PDT New anthro group - Check it out! nonadult journals/personal HybridAnthro http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/h/y/hybridanthro.gif?4 Copyright 2012-2013 #HybridAnthro

My question for you, dear audience, is what to do about "altered" characters.

There are pictures of Krystal from Starfox as a dragon-taur. There are pictures of Amy Rose from the Sonicverse as a mermaid. There are pictures of non-NPC Eyries (griffons) from NeoPets as anthros.

Should those be allowed into the group as well, or should we keep our current rule of accurate fanart only? ]]> http://hybridanthro.deviantart.com/journal/A-challenge-Sorta-More-of-a-time-kill-308960327 http://hybridanthro.deviantart.com/journal/A-challenge-Sorta-More-of-a-time-kill-308960327 Sun, 17 Jun 2012 12:29:32 PDT A challenge.

The anthro in question has physical features of multiple distinct species. For example, gryphons, part feline and part avian.

I want to ask members and watchers their opinion on the inclusion of copyrighted hybrid species, specifically cabbits (cat-rabbits from the Tenchi Muyo series) ottsels (otter-weasels from the Jak and Daxter series), and certain NeoPets species.

Cabbits as a concept aren't horribly unique, and there are a few feline/lapine crossbreeds in the group already, including one or two that even refer to the character by that moniker. However, the group does have rules against "altered" versions of existing characters, and cabbits as they appear in the Tenchi Muyo universe don't have anthro forms [that I'm aware of] whic ]]> http://hybridanthro.deviantart.com/journal/Removing-the-quot-mythical-quot-folders-218807253 http://hybridanthro.deviantart.com/journal/Removing-the-quot-mythical-quot-folders-218807253 Mon, 16 May 2011 09:10:48 PDT Removing the "mythical" folders nonadult journals/personal HybridAnthro http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/h/y/hybridanthro.gif?4 Copyright 2011-2013 #HybridAnthro http://hybridanthro.deviantart.com/journal/Just-a-reminder-219096168 http://hybridanthro.deviantart.com/journal/Just-a-reminder-219096168 Sun, 01 May 2011 09:17:22 PDT Just a reminder nonadult journals/personal HybridAnthro http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/h/y/hybridanthro.gif?4 Copyright 2011-2013 #HybridAnthro

The purpose of this folder is to hold characters that do not fall into the traditional one-or-the-other "binary" classifications of male or female. Characters who fit into the non-binary folder would be genderless, hermaphrodite, conjoinment/Frankensteining between both male and female characters, or (at the artist's discretion) transgendered. Transgendered characters not submitted to non-binary should go into the folder matching their target sex, with the exception of images emphasizing their birth sex.

Currently, the only folder that non-male/female characters fit into is the "Featured" folder. And while I don't want to deny anyone the exposure that comes with having their artwork in the Featured folder, at the same time I don't want it to become a dump folder for art that doesn't fit anywhere else.

About the Mythical folders nonadult journals/personal HybridAnthro http://a.deviantart.net/avatars/h/y/hybridanthro.gif?4 Copyright 2010-2013 #HybridAnthro
Today I figured I'd explain the purpose of the Mythical folders and why creatures of mythical heritage are making their way into the regular folders as well.

The Mythical folders are for anthros who appear in mythology as they are. Gryphons and manticores are well established creatures of fantasy, but dragon/rabbit and unicorn/wolf hybrids are not, even though dragons and unicorns are mythical creatures.

This doesn't mean the mythical folder is strictly limited to the exact incarnations of "real" mythical creatures. "Remixed" mythicals, such as a parrot/ocelot gryphon rather than an eagle/lion, are ]]>
