Description Popple tries to scare Birdo into remembering that she is his subordinate, his rookie, and nothing more.

It doesn't work.

...But hey, I can't blame her. That Shadow Thief is pretty fine... (*watches as her boyfriend adds another item to his hitlist*)... at his job, I mean! I'm just in love with... his expressions.

This is just a total quickie, made in a couple hours as a break from my day-and-night studying during finals time.

I think if I ever made a sustained comic, this would be the style. I like this form of shading in black-and-white... I found such a cool brush! And the lineart, with the square brush, is a lot like a ballpoint pen.

Oh, also I decided to give Popple a scarf, just because he looks so cute with one. And I'm totally influenced by Kay Faraday, Great Thief from Ace Attorney Investigations!

Popple/Birdo (or should I say PopplexBirdo) (c) Nintendo!

That sure as hell is the best precious angry face I've ever seen.

When I first saw Popple I fell in love at first sight. -shot-
Popple is such an amazing boss person. I just loved the part where he and Birdo were working together,too.

...
Of course I couldn't believe such a shadow thief would have himself a job after beating him for the last time,or so I remember.

Birdo's face = Seriously,that face is so adorable,even when she's being screamed at.

SweetCookieable In reply to AngelHedgez [2013-04-03 20:42:41 +0000 UTC]

I love him too,soo adorable!! x3
Popple: Urgh,I'm having too much people loving me,it slows my work!!
I wonder how he would have reacted if Birdo found some other sugary name to him,'darling' apart,such as...'Poppy' or similar.
I luvd so much when she said to him to be alone and speaking love Language (o.0) and him,just after be angered,toned down and softly told her 'it was not time'.

That's probably true. He has a bit of an ego, doesn't he? Not like to Rawk Hawk proportions or anything, but... I think he'd definitely like the adoration. However, there are limits...

Freaky crazy faces, pyschotically happy or astonishingly angry or otherwise, those are what I love to do! And like I said in an earlier comment, the characters of the Superstar Saga already have such wacky expressions that, in my efforst to exaggerate them even further, I am pushed to an unhealthy level of zaniness!

First imagining King Jingaling in various states of undress and now fancying Popple. If you weren't so lovely I'd be worried about you.

It's a great example of how people overlook what is really there when they're in love, like how you can overlook my arrogance. And of course it's done in your usual brilliant style.

Also I'd love to see this comic!

But yeah, Popple's going on the list. ¬_¬

Altermentality In reply to Itxi [2010-04-29 03:49:48 +0000 UTC]

Gah! How many times do I have to tell you, it's not what you think! It wasn't like that! I mean- he is a Jinjo. Most Jinjos are naked. So, someone dresses up their doggie in a sweater on most days, does that mean it's sinful to see the dog running around without it? It's the same concept, right, right?

Why am I being so defensive? Er-

And hey, your arrogance is precious. (Actually, you're not really arrogant, love. I keep telling you that. If you are, it's certainly not to a fault.)

Good thing for Popple, he's already on the run. You can't kill him if you can't catch him. Good luck with killing His Majesty too, where an entire race of hateful creatures and people like Blade keep failing. (Although Blade kinda fails at doing things efficiently, huh?)

Itxi In reply to Altermentality [2010-04-29 19:34:59 +0000 UTC]

Yes, but in the games he has some clothes on. There could be anything under there. And I know how much of an imagination you've got!

You keep saying that but just you wait. ^_^

Ah, but you see, I happen to have mentally unstable agent with a powerful weapon who is very close to the king right now. We shall see how long he lasts now. ¬_¬ And then kitties!

Too bad for you we've decided not to kill any main canon characters. Why did we have to have that discussion? Oh right, SOMEBODY decides to be a JERK and kill the one who's raising FOUR LITTLE CHILDREN. On his OWN. I don't know why we let you play with dangerous things anymore.

...It's actually really funny to look back on just how angry I was at you at that moment. I had absolutely no especial sweetness for you yet.

Itxi In reply to Altermentality [2010-04-30 10:25:12 +0000 UTC]

Woah, you were genuinely angry with me for that? I still say that in a way I was justified though. ^_^

Y-you're not angry anymore though are you?

Smoochywoo?

Altermentality In reply to Itxi [2010-05-02 06:53:27 +0000 UTC]

Um... yeah I was. You killed Terry. I love Terry. Of course I was justified. It came out of the blue and you did it just because you were in a bad mood. At least when I'm in a bad mood I just torment my own character with worries and nightmares.

(I know everybody's allowed to do their own thing but I'm kind of defensive about not killing the characters that don't belong to us.)

I get worked up about this stuff. XD That actually wasn't the first time I'd done that with the fic; I got incensed at DB one time, but it was back at the end of its first run, when Blade decided to trash and crash Dac's funeral. That part eventually got edited or left out or something.

...But I forgive you. ^_^

JUST DON'T DO IT AGAIN

Itxi In reply to Altermentality [2010-05-02 09:52:30 +0000 UTC]

Well it wasn't quite that arbitrary "Bah! I'm so annoyed I could kill a fictional character!" I still think that I had every right to kill him off, it was just out of the blue and badly written because I was annoyed.

But I'll try not to do it again, though Jolly is looking rather frail. >_>

Altermentality In reply to Itxi [2010-05-03 03:34:47 +0000 UTC]

And I still disagree with you, love; you have no right to kill off a character that belongs to everyone and was not originally created by us without warning. But you know me and my fictional characters, so... to be honest it's mostly this, that you were killing off a part of my imagination that had mattered to me for as long as I've known you. So it rather stung.

Oh you do anything to Jolly and I'll... make you play SPM twice

Don't worry lovely. I didn't know of your fondness for characters then, it wont happen again. ^_^'

And twice? I know that you like Jolly but murdering a fictional being shouldn't carry the death penalty!

Ah, excellent to see you back in business, eh, Alter? I wonder whatever happened to that romance story about Nastasia and O'Chunks however. The thought of the two having dinner, and then Count Bleck arrives on the scene and the dinner turns to be a double date with Count Bleck and Timpani just might mix things up a bit, so, how's that for an idea? Yes, no? Well, in any case, the last time I remember seeing this fellow, he was scrubbing mushrooms up in the village near TeeHee Valley, I must comment on how well you've captured his expression, and the pointy teeth and grotesque mouth capitalize on your unique style. Well done, I dare say, well done.

Back in business? Pff, I never quit the business. Not even my finals will drive me away from the business. *puts on sunglasses*

Hmm, no Count Bleck in this one I'm afraid, except for in Nastasia's perpetual dreams and O'Chunks' flashbacks. As for the story, it's most definitely going to be finished, but I'm cooling it a little during this time of intensive study. Trying to write well is not much of a relief from studying for hours and plotting out a final paper. Drawing some insane scribbles like the above, now that's a break I can enjoy.

Thank you very much. I must say that exaggerated expressions were always my thing, but the M&L games work in that style too, and playing Superstar Saga has served as a challenge to push myself even further!

If only Wario and Waluigi made more appearances, I can honestly imagine Mario and Luigi facing off against their counterparts in the usual handheld RPG manner. Wouldn't that be something? Unfortunately, I am cursed without artistic talent, yet am blessed with all my delightful ideas, the irony of it all, I'd wager Dimentio's rolling around in his grave at this very second, enjoying an icy laugh piercing the night sky and the 6 feet of ground above him. Well, at least I've got a cadre of loyal artists to share my ideology with. It's refreshing indeed to know that there exist a handful of pretty wonderful individuals in the baddies club, and DeviantArt as a whole.

I love Waluigi. He totally needs his own game, or AT LEAST a legitimate villainous role in another. Wasn't he the main villain in that Mario DDR game? That doesn't really count >_>

Hey, if you ever have an idea you really want to see drawn, just let me know. I enjoy doing things for others, especially if they would have difficulty doing it themselves.
