If you didn’t know, I like almost all villagers that resemble real-life animals. What do you think of that? Do you like it when characters in AC resemble real-life animals?
 
You mean villagers with more natural colour schemes like Fauna and Maple? I think they are cute but I much prefer colourful and wacky looking villagers :D

Some of my favorite villagers resemble their real life counterparts, such as Grizzly. I've loved animals my whole life, so I guess it makes sense that I would also be drawn to villagers that look like the animals I love so much in real life. But I still enjoy the more uniquely styled villagers as well, such as Anicotti.
 
i think it’s neat! while villagers who don’t resemble their irl animal are super unique, i also like that nintendo included realistic designs and even included mythical + villagers who look like a different species altogether in their designs ;u;
 
I love a lot of the ostrich villagers c:
Queenie - Emu
Flora - FLAMINGOO
Phil - Pheasant
Julia - Peacock
And my faves, Blanche, Gladys, and Cranston who are cranes

then there’s phoebe who’s supposed to look like a Phoenix but we’re talking real here (*꒦ິ⌓꒦ີ)
 
I mean, none of the animals listed actually resemble the animals their based off on level that is less superficial than any other animal, so I'm still not entirely sure what you mean. But I suppose their fur colors and textures are more in line with what you'd expect from an animal, as opposed to being pastel colors. The same way that some human villagers have natural hair colors while others have various shades of red, pink, green, purple, or whatever.

That being said, one of my favorite animals is Molly, and I suppose she fits under this description.

Have you ever compared any of the villagers above with the animal that they look like?

I mean, yeah, but... just to compare the first on your list, Antonio.
latest

His fur skews on a much closer in color and pattern to what you you'd expect from a real life animal. But he doesn't substantially resemble this.

Or how Grizzly...

...only passingly resembles an actual grizzly bear.

They don’t have to exactly resemble the animal they’re based on.

And I'm not saying they have do. I'm saying that as it stands, they barely only kind of do, which is why I don't quite fully understand what criteria you are comparing them from. Thus I don't really know what to think about them in relation to the other animals.

We enjoy them, Molly is one of our favorites for that reason, we used to raise ducks and so we were happy to see a duckling villager.
 
Does any of the ostrich count because most of them have a representation of a different bird.

Flora flamingo
Julia peacock
Cranston Ibis
Phil pheasant
Queenie emu
Gladys crane

If they do I really love the resemblance.

Yes they do. Sandy resembles an ostrich and Gladys resembles a crane too add on.

i really think they are one of the best looking villagers in the game. I mean Julia's feather colors just wow. All except for the few strands of awkward feather on top of the head she would be up there in the AC pageant. Cranston's like bit of red on the beak makes him incredibly attractive. There are just so many little traits that give it such elegance :)
 
I really like it ! My favorite one appearance-wise is Grizzly and K.K. Slider. I'm looking forward to unlocking them since I haven't really made it that far in my world yet

Though she looks beautiful, Julia is my least favorite ostrich. But I can understand what you mean.
