I am really not sure why, but I have this very defined image of a gym bro pigeon in my head. This is part of the way there, but imagine I was better at drawing gym-bro-pigeon wings.

Coots are some of my favorite birds, so for this prompt it felt only right to give them ridiculous hands to go with their ridiculous feet!

And I feel like I have to tell you that I have a pair of giant Mickey Mouse hands that are like plush that look just like this 😂

u/Icy_Actuary552 0 / 48 1d ago
That's exactly the look I was going for! They were harder to draw than I expected because they're so smooth but also with that inflated look.

Success 😁!
It's interesting the things that are harder than you think to draw isn't it?

This is kinda hilarious! The expressions especially!

It's from an old cartoon called Heckle and Jeckle, about two magpies. :) from the 60's/70's.
Edited to add - wow I looked it up and it ran from the 40's up to 79'.

u/TheAltOfAnAltToo 85 / 85 2d ago
Sounds really fun! Thanks for telling me :D

It was a fun show, it played with Mighty Mouse when I was very little.

Next on the CW, Tracy Lynn Cruz in, BIRDS WITH ARMS (cause birds is British slang for ladies and arms are another word for guns...)
Followed by a new episode of STAR TREK VOYAGER!

A bird with arms in a way

u/Faexinna 0 / 85 2d ago
Definitely counts. It's a flying type, which used to be the bird type, so it's a bird. And those are definitely arms. Ergo, bird with arms!

This Donald is so nice! You really captured his movements.
Welcome!

u/redguy1976 340 / 340 2d ago
I never thought of him as a bird with arms. That's absolutely works! Nice rendering Uncle Donald.

Ruby-crowned kinglet saying he's definitely not going to buy THAT excuse.

Im so sad that i missed yesterday’s theme. I was looking forward to it but i didn’t open reddit all day yesterday 😢😢😢

u/Faexinna 0 / 85 2d ago
Do it for free draw friday if you like the prompt! I'm doing that with today's alt theme, I like "bed of cheese" so I'm drawing it for tomorrow. Or you can catch up!

u/OldestSisterAIiMH 605 / 605 2d ago
Oh no, don't be sad! All is not lost - you can post late. Some people catch up multiple days at once and that's ok too.

u/srhddsn 5 / 5 2d ago
No hands 🤣 just arms

u/OldestSisterAIiMH 605 / 605 2d ago

I tried but somehow it became a serious attempt at drawing a bird vs the funny image I had in mind, so I took liberty with the prompt. -.-

Aww this is so nice! Taking liberties with the prompts is always ok, and personally I love when people do that.

I took some creative liberties with "arms", but I hope this still counts! One day all humans were gone but the birds suddenly had human-like intelligence. It changed their society and how they live their lives forever. The more crafty birds like ravens and magpies soon started to invent little things to help the other birds do their work, like these two scissor arms that are controlled with strings. They use leftover human artefacts such as metal straws and fires that the humans started and they still keep burning to help them create things like this.

Can I call it Edward Scissorhand? 🤣

u/Faexinna 0 / 85 2d ago
No, it must be a bird pun at the minimum for me to accept the new name! 😂

u/TheRealDucknaut 0 / 322 3d ago
Whoa that's pretty cool!
Both concept and execution.

u/Faexinna 0 / 85 3d ago
Thank you! I was planning to go into an entirely different direction first but then I got this idea and I couldn't help myself 😂

..And that's how I found out about r/birdswitharms

u/TheAltOfAnAltToo 85 / 85 2d ago
No way that's a sub! Or more realistically, no way that's not a sub.

u/chaths 70 / 72 2d ago
It used to be popular, I'm hoping for a renaissance.

u/TheAltOfAnAltToo 85 / 85 2d ago
I feel like posting my own bird there, it's a v cute sub 😅
1
u/chaths 70 / 72 2d ago
Yes. Let's revitalize r/birdswitharms.
I didn't know that sub existed all this time and now I have a massive trove of fun references to sketch and animate.
Fun will be had. Definately.

u/with_explosions 3d ago
It used to be a pretty popular sub. Over a million subs and look at how low the activity level is. Tide comes in, tide goes out.

u/KV-broad-sky 24 / 24 3d ago
I wonder if it was the same reference of tea time bird for me and you 🫣😅

I did this last February, so this time, I gave the bird arms AND feet.
Previous, much better art.
