My anthropomorphization method

Looking at works under the "anthropomorphism" tag, I felt, "Maybe my method of anthropomorphism is unique?" so I am writing this down as a memo.

Other people seem to place importance on keeping the original shape of the object when they anthropomorphize things.

On the other hand, when I anthropomorphize things, I consciously "break them down" and "make associations," aiming for "outfits that could just barely exist in the real world or in history"!

Using a pumpkin as an example, here is what goes on inside my head 🎃

〈Breaking it down〉
A pumpkin's color composition consists of orange (the flesh) and green (the stem). Therefore, I make orange the base color and recreate the stem with a green ribbon.

〈Making associations〉
・Pumpkin → Round shape → Short bob haircut or a rounded skirt
・Pumpkin → Pumpkin carriage or Cinderella → Western-style outfit
・Pumpkin → Jack-o'-lantern or Halloween

Based on all of that, here is the illustration I created!

In short, while avoiding simply making them wear the original shape as clothing, I actively incorporate concepts associated with the original object into the clothing design and background. This is how I always create my anthropomorphic illustrations~

P.S.
It's probably just my imagination that I've been seeing an unusual amount of anthropomorphic things ever since making this post 😅
