Sometimes I draw Buster with my OC, a human woman named Julie. She and I are a little different, so I made this OC vs Artist thing to highlight the differences!

SING 3 IS IN DEVELOPMENT THIS IS NOT A DRILL!!!

countryrebel1995

If I recall, the Illumination executives stated over a year ago that they wanted to make a third "Sing" movie if the second film performed well. And last October, Matthew McConaughey told us they were indeed pushing forward with the idea. So it's nice to finally get some proper confirmation that the film has been greenlit and the project is underway.

Personally, I'm still hoping "Sing 3" will involve Buster Moon and his talented cast heading off to furry Broadway.

I’m SO glad it performed well enough (during the pandemic!!) to green light a sequel!! I’m all excited and nervous at the same time 😂 LOVE these characters and this story. Garth Jennings won’t be the director for Sing 3 though so I’m hoping all the characters are treated with the fun and love and respect that he gave them. (Be positive!!! It’ll be amazing!!)

Omg all the fun we had with the release of the first two movies - waiting for the trailer, the fandom going nuts for every little reveal, the PREMIERE, then all the excitement and new fans and creations being made after the movie’s release - it’s going to happen again!! ♡♡

Sing Birds: Concept Art Edition

Warning: I go a bit insane over birds sorry not sorry. This is more of a deep dive into the design of Sing birds and what the “canon” is on them.

Body

Much like how there appears to be two different dog body styles (Suki, and then every other dog breed), there are two types of bird bodies in Sing. You have the ones that are just shaped like real birds, like this ostrich and the flamingoes. And you have the ones that have a human-like posture that most of the Sing animals have, like the cranes. I know the Sing wiki calls them herons, and they could be, but they are lacking the same markings as herons. Also their entire audition was Eastern Asian themed and the crane is a very important animal in East Asian culture. Here’s a stick figure showing just how human-like the body of these cranes are:

Wings

Sing makes it very clear that its birds have feather fingers and their wings work as arms and hands. Many Sing birds are shown holding things with them, manipulating objects with them, and Hobbs can bloody drive a car with his. Again the cranes are a great example and have very distinct hands while retaining their feathered wings. Real birds have their hand and finger bones fused and could never use them to hold anything. But Sing birds have evolved some way to keep their hands and wings at the same time. I have a couple of theoretical explanations on this but it gets too biological and I’m already wasting my time on this massive post no one will read.

Beak

I can’t attach photos because I hit the limit, but the ducklings in the Sing 2 audition also demonstrate that in this universe, birds’ beaks are more flexible. Real birds have rigid beaks that are not like lips at all (though they are incredibly sensitive), but in Sing birds, beaks are basically just their lips. This is common in most animated birds, not just Sing. I won’t get into the biology of how birds are able to produce speech without lips because I’ve rambled enough but in Sing we can see that beaks are more flexible and essentially just lips and have the same range of movement. They must not be as hard as real beaks and must be softer in order to move this way. Bonus note: the middle flamingo here has feathers that swoop down like hair. I used this same idea for my bird oc.

Something very interesting is that Sing birds canonically have teeth. Real birds don’t have teeth. But somewhere in the evolution of Sing animals, their birds kept them.

Legs

Something interesting in this concept art is that their “knee” bends the way a human’s would. Again birds generally have a “knee” that bends the opposite way (I could go on for ages about this but basically it’s not a knee but an ankle; birds are digitigrade, just like all felines and canines, and are considered to walk on their toes. Their real knee is usually just under their feathers, and it moves like ours). I imagine the Sing creators, like most non-bird-insane people, assume that this is a knee and bird legs are the same as human legs. You can see this in the cranes again and how the legs look basically human. I’m guilty of this too; my bird oc has humanoid legs. Because hey, if a digitigrade wolf like Porsha can have human legs then a digitigrade bird can too.

Extra Concept Art

Concept art for the puffins in Sing 1. Not much to say except that these aren’t puffins. They look a bit more like masked lovebirds? Wonder why they changed the species.

And to round it off: Couples from Les Calmars! A nice interspecies mix here!

Flamingo and crocodile couple 💖 interesting they planned for flamingoes as early as Sing 1. And she’s SO CUTE WTF

A rooster and a hyena? 😂 Love this one. There was also an ostrich with a hippo but I hit the photo limit.

Despite so few birds appearing in the films, Sing has taken a really varied approach to them. Some look basically just like real birds (the roosters, the flamingoes), and some have the more mammal-like body type of the rest of the animals (the cranes, the penguins). The closest thing I can get the “canon” rules for Sing bird designs:

🪶 Can have a body that is either the same as a real bird’s, or can have a body that is more mammalian and like the rest of the Sing animals. Each individual species can have either body type

🪶 Still has teeth

🪶 Has a wing hand, where the feathers work as fingers and thumbs, while still retaining the whole wing (they all still have wings and don’t have just feathered arms)

🪶 Can have legs that function the same as a real bird’s or can have legs that are basically just human, like the rest of the Sing animals

🪶 Their beaks are able to move like lips

🪶 The jury’s out on whether or not they can fly. I headcanon that they can, but we’ve yet to see it. I’ll do a whole new post for my specific headcanons though because this one is long enough

The only “in universe” explanation I can come to is that the animals in Sing have evolved different biology to our own ones. Whatever started them on the route to becoming more intelligent/sapient also changed their bodies slightly. All are bipedal now, even animals originally lacking proper feet like a walrus (I’m looking at you, Mason) and have the same rough body shape. They’ve lost a lot of their natural animal behaviour, for example none of the tailed animals use their tails for expression. Porsha, Jimmy, Suki etc; all their tails just kind of hang lifelessly. With the exception of that one audition sheep, they don’t make any animal noises. I can think of only a few exceptions, such as Buster and the wolves using their ears for expression, Ash scattering quills, etc. Out of the “big 3” anthro animal city media - Sing, Zootopia, Beastars - the Sing animals are the most human and homogenous, with the least variation between species’ behaviour and have the least natural animal traits shown. The Sing koalas don’t have their extra thumb. Sing walruses stand on two feet rather than… whatever the heck it is that walruses do. Clay only had one wife and not a harem pride of lionesses. What I’m trying to say is real animals ≠ Sing animals. I can only hope Sing koalas aren’t riddled with chlamydia like most real koalas are 😂

If anyone wants to see a deep dive on other species just let me know! I’m not as knowledgeable on other animals as I am about birds but I’ll give it a good shot! Also Tumblr app formatting is godawful I’m so sorry I can’t shorten this post or remove the weird gaps even though it’s too late now

Help I forgot to post these and now the Sing height phase has passed aaaaa oh well please just take it

Here is everyone all together! I hope this makes it easier to visualise how some of the characters might look irl. The “standardiser” blocks are just there to make all the charts the same height so it scales properly. Then the man and woman figures are just the average height for humans, to help put the characters into perspective. Yeah I put Klaus in between the human woman and Nooshy on purpose because I’m 5′4″ and Cadence is 3′10″ and I wanted to visualise it leave me alone I know I’m cringe.

For characters with two height estimates, I just put their highest one even if it included hair.

This is so interesting!!
