It would be hilarious if that were part of his powers.

Doctor: You lungs have expanded several more chambers, similar to a spider's "book lung"
Peter: What? Are you sure?
Doctor: Haven't you noticed how you can keep talking while doing all that climbing and fighting?

I like both simple stories and complex stories, but there's a special place in my heart for simple stories that have depth if you choose to look beyond the surface. I like it when people can chose their level of engagement.

Back when I was teaching elementary, I dealt with teacher impersonation accounts (pre-AI, though).

These kids' brains are in a strange state of development. They don't even hate their teachers, they just block out the concept of consequences for them.

As usual, AI makes existing problems worse.

I've been saying, "Read my comics to spite my enemies"
In all honesty, I think most of my enemies don't fully remember me.
If they saw you reading my comics, they might think, "Who is that? Oh yeah, I don't want that one having any success. That sucks"
Are you going to let them get away with that?

I'm putting my past Super Mario art in a thread for
#Mar10day

The literal finish line may be a good place to end this thread. I probably have a few more pieces knocking around somewhere, but 20 feels like enough.

Here's something unique: An unused piece of animation from Aria Kart. I made a few "Crossing the finish line" animations from different perspectives. This one turned out to be unnecessary, as it didn't match the final stage blocking.

GOAL! (You can hear the music playing, can't you?)

Another scene from the Nabbit comic, in which Nabbit is finally hailed as a hero.

Pencil drawing of a concept to make the Mario 3 boot into a Mario Kart race car (get on this, Nintendo). Trivia: This was drawn before the boot on wheels was included in Paper Mario: The Origami King. I drew this in the lobby at MAGfest 2019.

Yoshi Rainbow. This one's a little low-res. Might be another good candidate for a redraw.

Good gravy, I have more pieces than I realized. Still haven't reached the end yet.

Remember the year everyone tried to redraw the pixel sprites from the original Super Mario Bros?
#Mar10Day #MarioDay

This was a piece I called "Cosplay Kings." Inspired by Super Mario 3 (original version) and fursuiters.

BTW, If you enjoy my Super Mario stuff, odds are good that you'll love my original comics, which draw a lot of inspiration from video game quests. www.lepusstudios.com/comic/dw-ch1...

Fancy Lakitu, a sort of mascot for Aria Kart.
Opera is not a dead medium and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Koopa illustration to match the puppets.
Fun Fact: The scarves were inspired by Kooper from Paper Mario. I decided they should wear scarves so their signature colors would be more visible on stage.

The Koopa puppets from Super Smash Opera presents Aria Kart. I designed and made all three of them.

It's Nabbit! Taken from that Nabbit comic I made for Easter 2024.

Here's an older one. Still pretty cute. Maybe I should redraw it some time.

Little Mario comic.
I didn't make the comic for Super Smash Opera, but it was once used to promote one of the encore performances.

Babies, an ink-and-watercolor study.

It's Geno!
I have this design on a T-shirt somewhere.

Here's the Paper Mario Partners image I made for some online art event. This one was a bit of a fan favorite

I had an old printer that worked really well and I used it for over a decade until the rollers fell apart. I replaced it with the newest model in the same line and I hate it so much.

Another redraw. The design from a Super Mario music album from the early 80's, updated with modern character designs.
