"For me, therianthropic anthro art tries to capture too much at once and as a result displays very little about what it means to be animal."

That is very true. Yet I also keep trying harder and harder again. I think I'm close to it, somewhat, by working on my Monsters in Love concept, which was first intended for gender-things... and with my project of animal folklore and related illustration as well. I just need to keep working on it, but I feel it's taking a different turn than when it was just like elaborate furry art. I don't know.

Your entry makes a lot of sense to me. :3
