I'm glad to see more characters being made! I'm sure we can have fun with this. I agree that anthropomorphized is probably the best way to go. I always thought the neopet comics were really cool and they are depicted in a more anthropomorphized way there. I might try to go back and read some of them for inspiration. I'm not sure how much effort it will take given the retirement of flash but I'll give it a go.
