Description I also did a few Mario characters for no specific reason. So no guarantees these ones will get coloured.

Great job morphing most of their shapes and sizes while still retaining their trademark looks, that can be tough to do sometimes. Keep at it!

Well thanks! That was somewhat of the idea, for years I've been thinking of doing a Mario poster taking my favourite elements from all the different types of media he's appeared in so invariably this ends up being one of those "my style" projects.

Oh I just love the way you drew everyone here! Especially the Pianta

It is a shame that more people do not draw Birdo though and this is one of the very few times I have seen the dino in the bottom right. Reznor was the name correct?

Really? I thought Birdo was pretty popular, I'm not sure.

The plan here was to draw he more"odld-school," with more dinosaur proportions and a mouth that only becomes the huge vacuum mouth when she spits eggs.

I don't see too much fanart for her....but I might be looking in the wrong places. But I do know that a lot of people (in America mainly) are transphobic about Birdo at the very least....so if she truly does not have a lot of fanart, it would be because of that  Coupled with the fact that Birdo has not been making very many (if any) appearances as of late....

But anyway, I see. Well it came out very good in my opinion! Were the tiny arms on Yoshi inspired by a T-Rex? Or were you drawing more from his original sprite from Super Mario World?

The transphobia thing is very weird to me, especially since that isn't official in English speaking counties.
However, there's also a good chance there isn't as much fan art as I think there is.

Yoshi is a bit exaggerated but is otherwise based on his SMW appearance since that's still my favourite version of him.

Rumors and opinions seem to stick after something negative happens--even if the specific something is not true. That just seems like how it is in English speaking countries 
Regardless of what Birdo's physical gender is, she/they are still one of my favorite characters. If you ask me though, the original Japanese situation with Birdo makes the character a lot more interesting.

Ah I see. I like both versions of his appearance. I think Yoshi's current appearance is good for all the activities he participates in like Mario Kart, Mario Party and the various Mario sports games since he looks more natural doing them while I think his original appearance his good for when others ride him.......since it honestly looks kind of awkward when they ride him in his current look. I wish Nintendo would utilize both.....like he can duck into his egg to change between the two appearances whenever he so chooses.....but I suppose his current appearance would be his default now. This is how I feel at least...

I'm not sure the two Yoshis are different enough to warrant transforming between the two, but there does em to be slight variations depending what game he's in - ie: if he's a playable character or a rideable ally.

Hm? How so? I do not think I have noticed...

Well it felt to me like he stands a little less upright in Super Mario Galaxy 2 and is even a little larger in the New Super Mario games, while he's more upright in and dexterous in newer Mario Kart and Mario Party games.

I'm might not be right about that, it just seemed that way.

Heheh, it just looks like Yoshi is bending over slightly so they can ride him better to me
