Hi there! Tenchi8 here. Just thought I share some thoughts about humanoids and much more and why we like them. ^^

There's just something about going beyond the norm that many of us find very interesting especially when it comes to creating humanoid characters.
It gives us the freedom to visually express many admirable qualities and strengths that otherwise it won't be easily seen on a normal character.

Like describing a person who is beastly, or dragon like, or perhaps someone more attractive and agile like a cat. And so many other interesting ways we can express
ourselves.

I think it would really be cool to share thoughts about what we enjoy drawing and how we're inspired to draw humanoids.

For me personally, I have always had a thing for cat girls, nekos, and kitsunes. Fun loving characters that are attractive, cute, and sexy. Just one of my favorite humanoids that I happen to like. Such inspirations that got me into the interest were animes like Outlaw Star with Aisha Clan Clan, and in video games DArkStalker with Felicia. Among other sources.

But before all that, perhaps my first biggest influence was Bugs Bunny. That witty and clever wascally wabbit with a three dimensional personality that was bred by many artist. And my interest pretty much developed from there.

This blog entry is pretty much just an ice breaker, just to encourage you guys to share your thoughts and ideas. Or maybe references of inspirations that might be of interest for the rest of us and sorts. Hope this helps. :)

Hmm, where to start. I'm into most kinds of humanoids as long as they look human and not that anthro, leading to more the animal looks (Sorry, just not my thing). I usually draw all kinds of humanoid creatures from the most commonly seen to the unpopular or even new concepts. Catgirls actually got me to like real life cats and now I can't resist them, it's too adorable.

Mostly why I draw these humanoids is because I enjoy fantasy-like stuff. I like drawing made up stuff and always look for new things that haven't been made yet. For one I noticed there are no plant based humanoid folder section for this group. Do plant humanoids not count? That's a shame for me considering the Mandragora plant women I draw a lot. Other than that I make other half animal humanoids, though not much recently. I also want to add I think rabbit girls are underappreciated (or rather less popular, probably because catgirls are more popular)

I don't know what else to say about humanoids, but I guess I like the uniqueness of each kind of humanoid. To see how each humanoid is unique compared to others.
I don't usually care for most humanoids unless they are female. I'm most likely going to ignore male subjects. I just appreciate the female form more. :) Probably the reason I only draw girls. I don't have a favorite type of humanoid, there are too many and I just like them :D
