Description
Why not? We don't know Birdo's background (Especially after they retconned it so Birdo was actually a girl). For all we know she was a princess herself... Or maybe she's just jealous at the attention the other princesses are getting. Or maybe just caught raiding Peach's wardrobe.Honestly, we actually don't know much about Birdo. Is she a singular dino, a race like Yoshi? Hell, is Birdo a female of Yoshi's race?? (Like that's too weird?? After all Yoshi is a guy but lays eggs). I mean given how limited our knowledge is of femmes in the SMB universe... The only ones who appear outside of the Paper Mario games are Peach and Daisy (Both humans, unlike EVERYONE else), Birdo, and Toadette (Who for some reason reminds me of Smurfette. I mean seriously, short, the only female in a bunch of males with a male patriarch. You'd think she'd be running the show or something. The only examples we have of such extreme sex imbalances are in insect life, where the one female is the "queen" and essentially sits around all day making babies and every whim catered to by working males.... Oy, I'm really overthinking this now, aren't I?). If you add in Paper Mario, you get a femme of every species it seems. From Ms. Mouz to Bombette to Gombette to even female koopas. Makes me wonder if the SMB world females are just so much less aggressive then the males, or if Bowser is just sexist in his recruiting tactics or something...
Wait, what was I talking about? Oh, the picture. Sorry. Either way, I added some shiny effect to try and give it a satiny look, as well as added some egg symbols to reflect her "aspect" (Daisy and Peach both have a flower-like broach on their chest. I expanded on that a little). But overall I tried to keep it close to Daisy and Peach's "princess" gowns. Tho technically her gloves should be white for that....

Lessons Learned: That head angle was actually harder to get then one would expect. So were the hands. Overall tho this picture came together very quickly and I'm extremely happy with it.

I didn't draw one because I didn't think of it honestly... plus I didn't want to screw with the lines of her bow. Not sure exactly where a tiara would seat on her head, since her eyes cover her ENTIRE forehead....

Glad you liked it. Tho considered yer avatar, I have to wonder if Bowser would even consider her as a target... or "accidently" grab her....

It would be cool if he did kidnap her.

The question would be, who would rescue her? Mario and Luidi have little reason to help. She's not an ally, and has been associated (tho more and more loosely as time goes on) with Bowser's troops. The closest thing she'd have to anything would be Yoshi, and there's never been anything official putting those two together (Which I personally can't see, but Nintendo often pairs the two together for things like they do with Luigi and Daisy, and it's pretty much thought that they are a couple now in a reflection of Mario & Peach)....
I dunno, but I think she'd LOOK the part well. ^_^

Thanks, I tried to keep it close to the model (Peach's and Daisy's) while adding some unique touches to it that suited her.

there just inst enough Birdo art works, thanks man!!!
Birdo is my all time favorite character out of all the SMB series, just one point to bring up though, Birdo dose spit eggs to LOL
oh and I love the whole princess idea ^_^

TCPolecat7 In reply to Alabaster-Pony [2009-06-09 11:43:44 +0000 UTC]
Aye, she does spit eggs. The real question is are those HER eggs she's spitting?? We actually don't know that answer, tho we have %100 proof that Yoshi lays eggs and hurls 'em at enemies. Is it a far stretch to assume that somewhere in their evolution that they were a sort of team. One laying eggs to act as ammo for the other? Yes I'm overthinking this. Interesting mental excersize tho.
And yes, Birdo as a princess just seemed right with the way I've been drawing her. Her form naturally works with a very "girly" look, and it's hard to get more girly then a princess. Tho I couldn't tell if that expression was a "Please rescue me" look, or a "Oops, busted" look...
And FYI, Birdo is a fave of mine too. Always has been.

hmm you got a good point there, I never thought of that although it probably would be fun just to find out if she dose make her own eggs LOL
and don't worry I love a good mental exercise first thing in the morning it wakes me up ^_^
oh I agree it's totally fitting, she's got quite the form indeed, wouldn't you just love to have her as a playable character and ride her around like Yoshi? LOL
and the look is just priceless I think you on to something there ^_~
Birdo forever!!! If I got to hug her i'd never let go ^_^

I think Sitryon mentioned something like that to me when I did the bondage sketch of her last week (well, technically it was partially on the "Birdo Weirdness" sketch). Or maybe it was another perv...
Y'know, i thought of that actually. If Yoshi is a boy and Mario rides him, wouldn't Birdo be appropriate for Peach & Daisy to ride on?
And she is playable in the latest Mario Kart (for the Wii), tho you have to unlock her.That's partly where the idea for the mermaid Birdo sketch came from.
