Anthropomorphism has been a favorite theme of illustrators in recent years, with themes ranging from comic characters to real-life food, clothing, and housing, and the graphics are also quite interesting. As a common animal in our daily life, I believe that everyone is not unfamiliar with birds, but what will they become when birds are anthropomorphized? Recently, there are illustrators abroad who present our birds to us, and after reading them, people can't help but call "too beautiful".
When the swallow is combined with the second dimension, it becomes a handsome little messenger. Legend has it that swallows will come north in the spring and return to the south in the autumn, so in literary works, swallows are generally used to describe spring or love. But the anthropomorphic painter took a different approach, and he compared the habit of swallows returning from the north to the south to messengers, so his swallows became a busy postman brother, and his pockets full of letters were believed to be full of good luck.
The sandpiper in the anime world has become the image of a bear child. Sandpipers are small in size, and they often inhabit groups along the banks of lakes and rivers, but also on the seashore. They can also be seen on cold high mountains. According to this characteristic, the painter compared the sandpiper to a little girl walking on the seashore, she has a handsome face and wears thick clothes, it seems that even the cold winter and autumn can not stop her enthusiasm for playing with water, and the mud stains everywhere show that she is a naughty bear child.
The anthropomorphic magpie resembles a playful Gothic girl. I believe that everyone should know that the magpie symbolizes the meaning of love, and it is a happy bird. So when the magpie came to the world of the second dimension, it transformed into a gothic girl. From the photos on her dress and cape, we can see that the anthropomorphic magpie girl seems to be a master of love, and the spotlight pattern in the background seems to indicate that she can attract the attention of the audience wherever she goes.
When the grey magpie meets the second dimension, it turns into a bully girl. Gray magpies, like magpies, are birds that represent auspiciousness, and it is said that hearing grey magpies at different times has different meanings, such as hearing the gray magpies call when they are children represent good luck, hearing gray magpies when ugly means auspicious, and so on... According to these characteristics, the painter deliberately shaped the anthropomorphic gray magpie into a quiet and cute girl, and the posture of the book without leaving her hand seemed to show that she was actually a bully.
Who said that birds can only become girls when anthropomorphized, Daigo told me that it is as cute as a man to become a man. I believe that everyone's deepest impression of Daigo is undoubtedly its huge mouth, relying on this natural advantage, Daigo is a famous fishing expert among birds. Because this bird is so joyful, there are many animations that use it as a prototype to create a lot of interesting images, such as the big-mouthed Daigo in cats and mice. Based on Daigo's characteristics of fishing, the painter compared the anthropomorphic Daigo to a handsome fishmonger, not to mention, which is quite consistent with Daigo's own characteristics.
Other birds are anthropomorphic, either cute or handsome, but owls are different. Compared with magpies, owls are unwelcome birds in the market, as the saying goes, "night owls come into the house, nothing comes", which shows how people are not repelled by this bird.
The painter is not exempt from the vulgarity, his anthropomorphic owl presents a terrifying picture, but his creation is not based entirely on folklore, more based on the spots on the owl feathers, he imagines the white feathers as a long skirt, the red spots are the "stains" on the skirt, with the terrible expression of the teenager, we can't help but wonder if she has experienced something terrible.
