.TakaM, that's a lovely animation. So smooth...hmmm, nice.
Decided to just post these doodles. Every time I work on something, I always go back to these, and create a new one, or work and clean existing sprites. I figured that kids of the new age would never go back to 2d or pixelized Mario and whatnot, and 3d is what they want. So I'll just post these here, and enjoy 'em myself(initial submitted piece:
Clicky!...

*cleaned up Mario and Luigi's sprites, so there is not so much unneeded celout, and such
*Changed most baddies Palettes to a more VIBRANT color.
*added some Shy guys, and kamikaze babombs(or whatever their named) and reworked toad
*mysterious black mushroom character is the fella with the red and green orbs...and turban
Basically, reworked and cleaned some of my older Mario fan art, with character designs for a possible fan game with the "Mysterious Black Mushroom" being the center of the show(bad guy). The story was going to be a preamble to how Mario and Luigi came to be, with background stories regarding Toad's race and whatnot. Man...was going to be chalk full of nerd-dom, but alas, it just( and always will) boils down to my over-active imagination.
