Alllrighty! Got around to doing the base designs for the Nintendogs for my Super Mario AU! I plan on doing character posts similar to how I went about Daisy's, so for Pauline I had to finalize the basic designs for Nintendogs since she'll have a couple running security. :)

SO! Some quick funfacts about the Nintendogs:

-Nintendogs are highly evolved animals that look a lot like regular dogs but they are generally larger, and have evolved to be able to stand (and move around) on their back legs. They are simple-minded creatures however they are rather intelligent with a level of sapience to them, and like Yoshis they have their own native island, way of living, and culture. They are not and cannot be kept as pets, and they may choose to either live as companions to humanoids or live independently upon acquiring citizenship in a kingdom. Think a bit along the lines of humans and Pokemon: they are friends first and foremost.

-Nintendogs come in wide array of sizes, but basic classification is: Small, Medium, Large, Giant. The smallest breed of Nintendogs stands about the same height as a Toad, whereas the Giant breeds can be as large as your average human man.

-Nintendogs cannot speak despite their intelligence and so communicate with others outside their kind in two separate ways: one is a modified form of sign language, given their paws aren't as dexterous as hands despite them having flexible dewclaws. The second is through a very simplified code language, "Woofish", which consists of a small series of barks, growls, and chuffs to cover basic language necessities, things like "yes, no, hello, goodbye" and so on.

Still working on some of the finer points of how they work but ye! This is what I got so far!! ;w;
