Description On a gloomy day when nothing seems to make you happy anymore, there's always music to comfort you. What would we ever without music?


A mood pic I guess. Don't ask me why they have an alcove in their house.

This one was time consuming because of lighting and some perspective focus, and yeah the shadow isn't supposed to be real. I just wanted fun with it. Lastly, this is one of the RARE cases where I don't show hair poking underneath the hat.

Finished this back in Mid-October, when I felt very dang depressed. -__-; Have a cookie, if you can pinpoint three contrasting themes here. X3



Lineart: Song inspired.
Shading & Color: 1 hour & 42 mins

That.
That's me, goddamnit.
THAT'S AN EXTREMELY ACCURATE REPRESENTATION OF ME SAYING: Ahh, gloomy day, rainy day, snowy day, doesn't matter, my music relieves me from all my worries...

I agree with this picture. Even though this is a decade old, I still listen to the MP3 music my uncle Jeff downloaded 10 years ago on my new Wiwoo U2 sport and it just sets me free from my anxiety and worries. I still listen to music though vinyl, CDS, YouTube, radio and cassettes and it still makes me happy and it tells me a new story that I dream of (like I can see a music video or a memory with that song)

I like listening to "Sad Girl" from Mario Galaxy (which I am listening to while seeing this) for how peaceful yet sad the music can be

Something everyone has to have in life, music. I think that Luigi and I are on the same page right now. ( Funny coincidence that I was listening to music when I found this picture.)

Music has different impacts on me, too. It depends on my mood and the day. Usually, my favorite songs always inspire me. Other times, I am not in the mood to hear music.

I do need some kind of background noise when I do any kind of work, including my own.

Luigi becomes easily sad, because there is so many evil things in his head. Mario still always tries to make him happy again. By the way, I think Luigi is marios big brother!In my head he is much wiser and taller than mario. I mentioned in another comment about luigis good powers, well, mario has got evil powers cauz he is eviller than luigi. mario can grow three spikes from his hands like x-man and turn his eyes to blood-red when he is enough angry. he can also turn to devil and dragon. mario and luigi also have dragon-sides that were created because luigi and mario were dragons so long time. i think luigi and mario would have been alive since they firstly were thoughted by that mario-characters inventor. so they have been many creatures including dragons and other mythical creatures.

Just a piece of advice, don't forget though that people can be busy. Going out of the way to do something for "free" isn't necessarily rewarding at times due to circumstances.

Hiiiiiii saaiiikooo~~! I`m big fan of your amazing art! I also am a huge Mario bros. fan, so i even have some own Mario characters, like Chinu, third mario brother! It would would be awesome if you would draw him! He looks like mario, but he is thinner(still not as thin as luigi), he has got brown eyes, lighter colored hair, he doesn`t wear oweralls and his mustache is shorter than mario`s(I mean his mustache wont be on cheeks, that kind of long. You know how Hitlers mustache is short? well dont draw that kind of mustache either!Got it?) Oh, and he is 34 years old and has got positive nature usually. Would you please draw him, please? I pray for it!

Glad to hear you enjoy my work. I'm sorry, but I have to decline your request, since I don't do them. Request/art trades, as well as collaboration works, I only accept them under certain circumstances. Even though I've mentioned that quite often before with people asking me, I guess I ought to add that statement more on the open.

However, you never know when I'm willing to draw for others again, so keep an eye out. X] You could ask other artists, but of course that is after looked if they had words regarding to how they feel about doing requests and such. So my apologies on my part for not making that point publicly clear.

saiiko In reply to Desarra [2009-05-07 01:04:07 +0000 UTC]

Granted I've yet to ever complete a true commission piece.

If this had been a commission though, according to the price list and standards I've listed on my commission journal from the past [link] this artwork would've only been $16. (Some people charge over $30...)

But alas, I'm not that fortunate with my skills. XP You know you can simply just print this out for free. :] However, the thing I always offer when I complete commissions is giving the full high resolution piece of the artwork. X]

Thanks for the compliment though, I feel flattered.

The picture remembers me of a song by Evanescence: October

Luigi's expression is so calm and sweet. He's somehow depressed. The cuteness!

I like the music and the place looks like Fall
So, nice job, Koji

Thanks again, Guido. Glad to hear this pic's meaningful.

The song was Nelly Furtado "Say it Right," [link] which I happen to hear, and decided to draw this. :]

Fantasti. Simply fantastic.
Not only the drawing is beautiful, but it's also VERY meaningful to me, considering that music has been my greatest love ever since I was born. The only thing that's able to put my heart at ease, together with writing.

Thank you for doing this, Koji. Thank you so much. You have no idea how much I have been waiting for something this meaningful to me and to my love for music. It's simply awesome and I love it from the deep of my heart.
