I really enjoy reimagined characters from our childhood. Whether it's from comics or video games, it's just great to see someone like Mario sporting some big guns! Who wouldn't love to see an awesome animation with these below?

These come from the mind of the America artist Coran "Kizer" Stone. Pretty awesome imagination, dude! These are only a few of his pieces... at his DeviantART portfolio you'll get to see a ton more of his work. I bet you'll love it, just like I did. Cheers! ;)
