So much agreeing. I ran into this ALL the time in old fandoms. I always enjoyed humanizing animal favorites, working to get certain features just right so that they were representative of animal qualities. And people would be utterly ripshit, disgusted, 'Oh that's nice, but can you draw them as ducks/beavers/dinosaurs like they're supposed to be?' I like them for their personalities, not their sexy tails and muzzles and dorsal fins. If I want to like them for more, they've got to be human. Or at least close to.

I would never alter an ugly human character to be more attractive to suit my tastes, but changing a fish into a person is not so much shallow as COMPLETELY understandable. I don't want to draw fish sex, or ducks macking it. I think it's insane to question that need to tread some familiar territory. Even very anthropomorphic animal characters. If I want to do anything with them out of the realm of jungle adventures, and undersea frolicking... hey, it's not hurting anyone. To each his own, in both directions. If furry-anything is your thing, I do not judge. But you very rarely see animalized human characters getting the same flack.

Also- that picture is magnificent. The expressions, and obviously the hair and clothing choice. I also greatly enjoy the choice to make Dory taller- exactly: she is a larger fish. This creativity is something to be celebrated.

It's a good pic! I wish the side mouth was corrected - it looks weird. Also, I think the grey in his hair should've been a streak - we get the design element that he's a clown fish from the shirt, making the hair full-on stripey just goes too over-the-top OH MY GOSH YOU GUYS HE WAS A CLOWN FISH. A greay streak in the front or at the temple (maybe at both) would be much better.

Nitpicking aside, it's still very cute!
