Description
Requested by Bowser81889I absolutely love drawing Mario Bro's characters as if they belonged in some sort of epic fantasy film, but they usually don't make it past the doodle phase so pushing myself to finish this was fun. I don't do environments very often and I wish I had the time/patience to do them better than this. Tried to homage Gandalf and the Balrog a little bit. I feel like Nintendo has dropped the ball not doing any games targeting the older fans of their popular franchises. I have no interest in cartoony party games a platformer game that looked like this I would buy.

Whoah, this looks absolutely amazing!Β Was pretty surprised to see you had taken my request when it showed up in my in-box, so that was a pleasant surprise needless to say.Β The perspective definitely lends itself greatly to this composition as a great strength in terms of really catching the viewer's eye, and the colors are super well applied in such a way where they set the tone of the atmosphere without going overboard.Β The lines capture a stunning visual aesthetic that goes above and beyond what most would expect from a sketch-based style which hammers home a true winner in this case.Β Can't argue the details are etched in incredibly nicely, so mad props to you there too.Β The rivalry of Bowser and Mario spans decades and one of the few that stand the test of time, so it's always quite a treat to see so many varied takes on such classic scenes as this one.Β Love it!
Thanks a ton dude, very much appreciated.

Thank you for the thoughtful comments. I've been wanting to draw something like for a while so it was a good request. I'd like to spend a little more time polishing this sometime in the future.

And thank you for kindly accepting my request in the first place. It's not everyday I get to be treated to such tremendous talent capable of capturing such excellent eye-candy so it means a lot that you took the challenge on like a pro. If you ever do decide to update it again, let me know; would love to see how it turns out.

Sure thing. Honestly I've seriously considered doing a revamp of the original 3 Mario games the way I've done realistic PokΓ©mon, but I just don't have the time...

Cool, thanks. And I hear you on that thought. I've had ideas I've wanted to do since my high school days but with limited time and drawing ability I don't always have what it takes to get the things I'd like to done. Leaves a trail of unfinished WIPs along the path that are the years now behind me, heh.

I only took a limited number of free requests for the holidays but if you are interested in commissioning digital or traditional art send me a message with your idea and I'll quote you a price range.

Sorry, but not right now. I usually take a few requests between Thanksgiving and Christmas every year. Very busy working full time and trying to build my comic portfolio so I have to limit the amount of requests I do.

Thanks. I wish Nintendo would would do a game like this, this is how I always imagined the game in my head.

I guess they are very shy about letting go of what makes their token characters/games stray too far from the foundation. I love Nintendo though. Yeah, they may not think much about the older gamers, but that's not whoΒ they were thinking about I guess, when they first introduced the world to their token characters. They were thinking of the young kid who liked a challenge. A lot or most of the games made today are for us older gamers and it really does disappoint me when I have trouble finding that one or so games to let my nephews and nieces can take turns on or play together on and enjoy much. So far the mario party games and mario games haven't failed and others like them. I like their unique approach to the gaming world. yeah, it's a bit alienating for them, but it's different. But hey their Mario games like the one(s) they have for Wii U looked and played pretty well.

I think there's room for both. Just like there have been some more realistic Zelda games and some more cartoony, I think the Mushroom Kingdom is big enough to include all sorts of genres for different gamers.
