I had this idea for a Mario Day drawing, but I ended up uploading like 3 days later xp. And now here I am uploading it here 10 days later lmao
Anyway, I wanted to do an experiment with the perspective, and I think I kinda like the result. This one is a reference to a certain episode from Super Mario Bros. Super Show hehe
SatAM Sonic the Hedgehog - 30th Anniversary Tribute (2023)
This retro celebratory poster I designed was months in the making and is jammed packed with references to the cartoon series, the early Sonic the Hedgehog franchise, classic Sega, old ABC Network and the early 90s! Can you spot them all? Its a massive scavenger hunt of nostalgia.
Ok but hot take but Bowser dosen't work as a serious villian.
In almost all media he's depicted as a sweet goofy dork who genuine cares for princess peach and would never hurt her. Hell he deeply cares for Mario and Luigi even if he is annoyed with them y'know? Like I thoroughly enjoyed the Mario movie, it's not amazing but a fun romp. But man I really hope that the second movie has him join the main cast against a new villian and tbh it's probably going to be Wario.
The only media where he does work as a really good villian is in early western media like the club Nintendo comics, the dic cartoons and the 1993 Mario movie bc they make him a cruel heartless monster. And honestly that dosent really feel like Bowser.
Bowser is an anti hero who's just a big ole simp for peach. Honestly I hope that future Mario games have Bowser as the 4th main playeble charecter alongside Mario, Luigi and Peach, and just do what Kirby does and introduce a threatening new villian every new game.
[C] 'Trollz 2005' Style: Sabrina and Cassandra by Mast3r-Rainb0w
A commission I made for a client via DeviantArt! It's Sabrina the Teenage Witch and her rival/friend Cassandra from Sabrina's Secret Life drawn in the artstyle of Trollz (2005)! Enjoy!
Okay, so if you recall in The Super Mario Bros. Super Show!, there's this one specific episode called, "Do You Princess Toadstool Take this Koopa...?" where Bowser's mom makes an appearance so that she could see her son marry Peach (and eat the wedding cake afterwards).
Which got me to think about this one interesting question:
If we're assuming that Bowser's mom is canonically alive in the Mario universe, do you think that Bowser's mom would be supportive of her son's relationship with his arch-enemy's brother or do you think she would do everything in her power to try to convince Bowser to dump Luigi and go after Peach instead (assuming that Bowser would be the one to tell her that he's dating Luigi)?
