Description I've been having trouble drawing most things, particularly humans recently. I figured why not go back to my old koopa roots and see if I've still got that with me? I kinda do-ish??

Anyways I thought "It's Halloween, let's draw Dry Bowser!" and started looking up skull references and shit when I suddenly decided I'd do this instead. I've had this theory for a long time and it's not the first time I've drawn diagrams for it, but I don't think I submitted my older ones... anyways, this is my explanation for how koopas look so different when I draw them - how Bowser and [PlatinumArtist's] Orez for example are a little hunched over, [Bowser2Queen's] Jonny is more upright and Krazy looks like a goddamn Sonic character sorry friends for taking your oc colour schemes lol, I didn't even do them right

Also while looking up shit about turtle anatomy and sexual dimorphism, I learned that female turtles have shorter tails, so I figure maybe they're more prone to a more upright stance compared to males?

Also male turtles have long claws to grasp females while mating. A couple sources also mentioned something about possibly using them to 'stimulate' the female at the same time? So I'm thinking that long claws are also attractive to koopas. They have thick hides and maybe claws are one of the few ways they can properly stimulate otherwise insensitive skin/scales? maybe I should go draw Bowser posing seductively while presenting/flaunting his claws, lmao.

I really like drawing skulls

Ah, so that's the game we're playing. Worry not, friend! You can rest assured I have been very, very, very offended by your inflammatory comments. Shaken, even. I must go now and block you, then write a long and emotional journal post about how you, the evil TheBlankWhiteFace must be avoided at all costs! Because of course, you are the most heartless and ruthless troll I have ever come across in all my years of internet experience.

Good day, you may now move on to your next target in triumph.

look I know his type and I can deal, I'll absolutely be reporting him for abuse because the sad sack's page is literally nothing but bashing on other people and that is without a doubt abusive

but block him? why ruin the fun? I'm imagining he considers that a victory anyway

I know how to do it, I'm filing a report now but there's a place to add links to conversations, posts etc to act as evidence of behaviour. I'm assuming he's barraged at least one of your deviations or that of a friend - could you send me those links?

hoof logic? what's wrong with mlp hooves? I guess they're kind of covered in fur at times lol but that could be explained.

Kirby eats everything bc it gives him power and his stomach is a void. Kind of the same reasons I eat tbh

Lmao no you're just a curious mind and a dedicated fan ain't so much a curse once you accept it

This is very interesting. That's the two main body types for Koopa OCs (and I guess koopas in general) that I've seen.

Yay it's a beginner Jonny ref. xD Just messing around. It's cool, Kraze. To be honest, I just think you should draw Koopas however the hell you want because deep down we all have our own spin to them. While I tend to stick with the traditional upright anthro style as you mentioned since I am most fascinated with anthro as an art direction, that still doesn't stop me from adding a few twists to my usual techniques. :3 But yeah, while I believe Koopas are very much like real life turtles, I don't think it is necessary to try to fit their anatomy along with them, that is if you are into that realistic approach for them. As for the Sonic spin on Koopas, I like how you do it to be honest. Gives a hip feel to them in my opinion. Anyways, I'll stop yapping.Lol Point is, whether you are satisfied with how you draw people or not, I think your take on them is good enough to say it has great value. I always loved how you drew the Mario bros and even Princesses and I think your style is much more defined on them now days than it was when I first seen what you could do years ago. Hands down! You've come a long ways.

KoopaKrazy85 In reply to Bowser2Queen [2015-10-07 22:29:37 +0000 UTC]

XD yeah, sorry, I figured you wouldn't mind

well yeah, same, and I really like that everyone draws koopas so differently - personally I like to switch styles too, being one of the reasons I made this... that and turtle facts are too interesting to not incorporate actually when I was looking at turtle skulls I noticed that they only really have three holes - eyes and nose, and the jaw underneath. I always thought that Dry Bowser's design was lazy and boring and didn't look like a skeleton, but turtle skeletons are actually that simple! Figured it was really cool how those things lined up.

I don't necessarily think anyone's gotta be realistic about them, but I like thinking about what features they have and how they might function for survival in a biological sense, and having to take into account all the diversity their designs have is a great challenge.

I really appreciate that comment on humans ^^ though I do mean that recently I've been having more trouble than usual with them. Oh god, yeah compared to the early days there's definitely been improvement always room for more, though!

Thanks so much, sis, I really appreciate it X3
