right is cocomelon

so good that you need to put the name of the character on their body, twice

why did millenials push so hard for left

Left isn't millenial or zoomers, they can't read cursive

Why do some artists feel the need to "redesign" characters they don't own? Are they that shit of an artist they can't draw something ORIGINAL?

Left would be better than right if he had longer sleeves.

Soul
Soulless

I remember this shit from a long time ago. His redesign of Toad was literally a human arab kid with a turban.

NINTENDO
SUE THIS MAN

Some of their "redesigns" already are practically original characters, but it wouldn't get any attention if they labeled it as such

Same reason people write fanfiction instead of original fiction, there isn't much demand for original stuff

Vulnerable Luigi...

NINTENDO...

I remember this time period, when every artist with a Tumblr was obsessed with drawing wierd red noses that looked like the character had a cold for some reason.

We already got that in Paper Mario

Um, maybe because some legacy need to be designed? Characters like Mario and Luigi were initially designed in a time period where it was okay to stereotype Italian and Jewish POCs, so that's problematic in of itself...

In order to remove the soul.

Fanart is a gateway into making your own original stuff. Artists like this do "redesigns" to develop their skills, and then once they've made a name for themselves, they can do their own original stuff, and the reputation they've built beforehand increases the chances of it succeeding

for fun

Gay Luigi?

huh of course it was taught

There's nothing wrong with it. I make semi realistic sculpts of Vidya characters in Blender. It's not like they're replacing the original characters or anything.

mario, ive-a become a DEI-sloppa! awawawa!

Its honestly decent practice to draw something familiar in a different art style.

nice try, the gig is up

Honestly I kinda like it. He cute.
I mean it's not like he's Dear Seega levels of egregious or anything.

This manga was made in 1987, before Luigi got his "modern" design, so its way of making Luigi different from Mario was just giving Luigi glasses

Acktually, his modern design already existed by then with the release of the anime movie a year earlier.

I'm on the border of millennial and Gen Z and I and my younger sister both learned cursive. My still-younger brother didn't, though.

looks like an icecream vendor.

They took a simple, readable design that even kids understand, and gave him marvel pants and a reddit bowtie.

characters they don't own?

I'm not letting a stupid law stop me from drawing whatever the fuck i want.

Kneel.

turning mario and luigi into wario and waluigi

what a dumbass

I do it for fun. I take a normal female character I happen to like and inflate her breasts and make her clothes as revealing as possible. But sometimes increasing the length of her skirt can be hot too. Depends on the character.

A lot of these 'artists' like to 'fix' shit that doesn't need to be fixed.

Mario's a plumber but he isn't wearing a toolbelt or appropriate plumber wear, let's give him one and tattered pants to boot!

Daisy's a tomboy but she still looks girly, give her sneakers and a bandaid on her leg!

This is why you see a lot of recent DK art with those dumb overalls, it's supposed to give him 'personality' and the simple tie wasn't enough.

They don't even keep the helmet which was the main point of him wearing that outfit, which speaks for itself.

I learned cursive, I'm 36 ffs, stop acting like millenials are 18

Anime on the cover = it sucks
No anime on the cover = good

But It's the opposite to me?

dear seega

dont have a heart attack, but maybe nintendo encourages it.

That's because you're a weaboo.

Maybe make something decent here

Not the worst I've seen.

why is the master sword so big

That outfit was to showcase his role in Super Mario Maker. Now if it were his default outfit going forward, then I could agree with you. It's also within the Mario style and adds as many details as needed (Belt + hammer) within said role.

Odyssey added a slew of different outfits as well.

She's smaller than link idk

neither of these anons can read it, they just want to fit in

high quality

netflix

oxymoron

red noses

We've been posting the same thirty-something pictures for over a decade now. I kinda wonder where all of these tumblr demons are now.

Bros, she's got the ultra hand from TotK

The overalls are more because he's in a mining facility when he starts off in Bananza, since denim pants/overalls were invented for miners to wear before they became more widespread. You see the other primate NPCs wearing them.

In most of the promo art for the game he's still just wearing his usual tie.

Oh I remember this. And they made Link a little bitch because for some reason. It's like they didn't play OoT and thought Zelda was helpless and made this Link a bitch as revenge.

Made Link a helpless Disney Princess.

Okay did this guy not play any of the games post Link to the Past?

So they turned The Legend of Zelda into one of those CG Barbie movies

Would it surprise any of you to learn the artist trooned out?

It's like they didn't play OoT

The guy literally admitted he never played any Zelda. That was a big point of contention when it came out. Like everything was just Googling and passive knowledge.

same thing applies to remakes and the people that make them (not the OG team), but normies want that shit for some reason

So fanart without the fan part, why

Same reason people that couldn't give two shits about Marvel suddenly started drawing Squirrel Girl, Invisible Woman, etc.
If you're drawing for a living you draw engagementbait. You draw what's popular, you draw what people are looking for on the internet.

Either that or you do NSFW commissions for wealthy furries.

I'm glad I never fell for the furry meme, a friend did and it's pretty sad.

Because the devil cannot create.
He can only defile.

share what you have created then, satan

Why the fuck would a plumber wear a bowtie? Why would anyone not at a wedding or tuxedo event wear one?

Let me guess, he tries to look like his asian steampunk waifu that he used to draw half-naked all the time?

You're really making a tortured attempt to set up a "Plumbers Don't Wear Ties" joke.

The kind of tradesmen who did house calls used to wear them. Dressy enough not to offend housewife sensibilities, but doesn't get caught in a drill

it's fun :)

The ambition to be approached by a big company

i would only be okay with a Mario redesign if it looks like pic related

MarioReboot.jpg - 3215x4157, 3.01M

Mario if he redesigned

did they?

I liked the little extra details the movie added to Mario's traditional look.

turn his shirt into a collared work shirt, presumably has buttoned cuffs he can fold up if they weren't hidden by his gloves

add notches to his gloves

boots have laces

It's not as insanely indulgent as a lot of "redesigns" get but it gives Mario back a little of his working man aura.

I still haven't watched this

Luigi if he was even more homosexual.

The sequel is coming soon
