Artist's Comments

...and off-screen, a lone goomba has just wet itself.

I put this up this morning without a proper comment, so thanks to those who faved anyway- you know who you are!

I do enjoy drawing my version of the Mario brothers, mostly because the style I'm now developing hits so many nostalgia buttons for me. Though i think its here that I've finally nailed how I want Mario to 'look', though here he looks like he's ready to blow up some parked cars!

The glowing eyes were inspired by the pyrotechnic Liz Sherman of Mike Mignola's Hellboy comics and its animated series (the character designer of which- Sean Galloway-is a deviant here: [link] )
I thought it'd be great if their eyes could glow their respective fireball colours.

This was way too much fun to do, so I hope you out there like it too.

Thanks! :)

I'm an old school gamer, and though I've been playing Brawl and Mario Galaxy on the Wii, anything between the NES Super Mario Bros and Super Mario World will always have a special place in this nerdy fangirls heart.

Thanks!
I know! Especially Mario- as I finished the lineart I thought he looked like he was about to nuke some parked cars or something!

Aha, I think I can see what you mean about the nostalgia factor here. :D The way you draw them gives them a workaday realism as if they're actual people, and not these chibi-ified cartoon characters. Back before the bros. got much of a standardized design, we probably imagined them looking something like this. ^^

Really excellent designs and work!
