As if that weren't bad enough, I'm so obsessed with the game right now that I've even taken to sites like deviantART in search of Animal Crossing-inspired illustrations.
The first piece of such fan art that I came across is the one you see above (and here), which features Cheri, a bear cub who only appeared in the first Animal Crossing, and Chevre, a Francophonic goat who has been featured in every Animal Crossing title thus far.
It was created by Japanese artist who goes by "Marys-Lamb" by the way. Also, it prompted the punny headline above.
I also came across a few holiday-themed illustrations that were inspired by Animal Crossing, including the one above (conjured up by Thai artist DC9spot).
This effort, produced by US-based artist Rin, caught my eye, too:
Sigh. The next few months are going to be tough for those of us waiting for non-Japanese versions of this game, aren't they?
