Does any one know any good tutorial sites for anime and/or manga style animals?

No, I don't... but I, too, think that would be useful. ^_^

Uh... should this be moved to the art corner?

I don't know of any tutorials, but the best animated animals I've ever seen was in Cowboy Bebop. So...studying those might be a good place to start...^^ Heck, you could probably get away with learning how to draw a realistic animal, and make the eyes larger and the nose smaller to achieve the desired effect. That's pretty much what they do to the people...^^

(in response to an interview question "Do you have a pet peeve having to do with this biz?")
People who write below their abilities in order to crank out tons of books and make a buck. Especially Christian authors who do that. Outsiders judge us for it, and make fun of us for it, and it makes Jesus look bad. We of all artists on earth should be the most concerned with doing our best possible work at all times. We of all people should write with all our hearts, as if writing for the Lord and not for men.

Hmm, I can't think of any tutorials off the top of my head. And when I first saw 'anime animals' I thought like the cute ones from Harvest Moon art or something ... :sweat:

Would you like me to move this to the art section to get more coverage?

most anime tend to draw animals realistically, there's not a style I recognized that is attatched to animals, unless they are intelligent and can communicate (Ex... Luna and Artemis from Sailormoon) and then they usually just do the standart "big eyes" thing, but otherwise make it look normal...
