SAFETY NOTICE: Do not use your Wii Remote as a paint brush. Mario is a trained professional.



Did up this lil' Super Boy way back last Sunday for an art competition over on the 1-Up World Discord server (have i mentioned that discord is pretty much the only social media i use regularly besides reddit). Since the entries were all kept private up until the last few days of February, I felt it was more appropriate to wait a little bit before posting it publicly. Came in second, in case you were wondering.



So anyway, about the image... Wouldn't be the first time I've drawn a cute artist from a Nintendo game, amirite? The dark colours may make it a bit tricky to recognize, but Mario's outfit here (more specifically the smock) is based on his cute lil' artist get-up from Mario Paint. Never liked how Odyssey changed the hat to a beret as opposed to just the normal cap slanted to the side, so that gave me a good excuse to try and see how Mario's hair would end up in my style < small >also because mario looks really adorable with his hat off and i'm so happy they made it all soft and fluffy in odyssey and dsafhsdfohasdhfsajdhfksadf </ small >



As for the Wiimote. Well, I've been drawing the Wiimote quite a bit recently as part of an art project in school, so I've had Wagglefest Simulator on the mind for the last few months. I'm not particularly good at drawing paintbrushes and figured a big bulky cartoony paintbrush wouldn't mesh well with the rest of the pic, so at one point or another I figured that Mario using a Wiimote as if it were the real thing would be a bit more unique and charming; Especially given how much Nintendo tried to push the whole iT's LiKe YoU'rE aCtUaLlY tHeRe DoInG tHe ThInG motif back in the mid-2000's, what with Wii Sports and Wii Play and the like. Maybe I'll make "Mario characters using Nintendo controllers for everyday activities" into a series or something, if I can be arsed.



That's all from me. Enjoy!



Mario belongs to Nintendo. I own nothing.
