Looking for some help, I'm writing a screenplay for a full length animated film with anthropomorphic animals as the characters (For example the main character is a pig named Al)
I am the first one to admit creating characters is not my forte which is why I am looking individuals who feel that they have the talent to make a diverse number of anthropomorphic animal characters. To give you an idea of the needed diversity, in one scene there is a band comprised of an elephant, a rabbit, a donkey, a bull, and a stag.
I am not looking for a human with animal features but animals with human features. Essentially I would need the head and legs of the animal on a proportionate human torso with human arms (number of fingers depends on the animal in question.)
Even though this for an animated film I would prefer that the characters do not look cartoony, it is a drama with adult situations and is intended for a mature audience.

I just reread my post, and it should read "Creature Creator" morphs and props...

This will be a good start; off the top of my head I know I will need at least at least two dozen different kinds of animals. Thinking about, working with morphs would be better, already rigged so .bvh files will work, clothing will fit better, and they should have good lip-synchronization which will look more natural during one of the three musical numbers.
Not to worry about what generation I am going to use (Probably Generation 4) I intended to tweak the resulting .avi from the render in several programs to give it a look like it’s an animated movie from the late 60s or early 70s (The film is set in spring of 1968)

Went there about an hour ago, looks awesome
Just need to make a list of every type of animal in the screenplay and scour the internet for the needed morphs

These have a number of those species represented with this http://www.daz3d.com/lycanthropos-species and http://www.daz3d.com/lycanthropos-species-2 but I am not sure if that might be what you are looking for at all.
