After i did my recent Powerpuff Girls scene paintingI have felt inspired to create more idyllic / action scenes of characters in their universe. for you bronies out there this is one reason why theres not been a lot of pony art, Just felt more inspired to push outside my comfort zone on subject matter and style.Mario games I used to play a lot of mostly DS and Wii titles. honestly would like to play a lot more games in the franchiseHowever as much as I adore the mushroom kingdom and its inhabitants, I felt Peaches Castle always looked a little bland so I gave it and the garden a good old elaborate jowybean makeover.This has been a rather long Painting taking up too 17 hours sketch of initial ideaover a period of four weeks. and although I still see improvements to be made I feel the overall outcome is in the direction i want to take my fan/geek art from now on.

Until next deviation LATERS
