my one and only entry. I'm definitely showing my age on this one
This is my Xmas back in 1992, I was 10. I finally received the NES I had been begging about for years...it was just before the Snes was going to be released, but I didn't care.
Anyway I wanted to portray the Mario gang kinda Tired, old, pissed off, and battle worn, for various reasons...
1) To show the amount of adventures that the mario gang has had from 1992 to today (I'm sure 20 years of beating bad guys would take a toll on them)
2) To communicate the ridiculous amounts of lives I lost at mario bros 3 when I just got it ( games were hard back then!). I'm sure Mario didn't appreciate it. Also, warped checkered flooring in the piece represents mario 3
3) To show that no matter how many years of battling he has under his belt, Luigi is still a big pussy.
4) I wanted to add bowser in there too but without actually drawing him *points to claw marks on Mario's hat*
5) I wanted to mix up the mediums a bit. I think it worked personally.
here it is. hope you like.
