For some reason people have been making a lot more passes at me recently, including just straight up sexual harassment, and once more I have to say I really wish I could experience someone being attracted to me in a way that doesn't leave me feeling like a display in a shop window. I just want to be loved.

Idk if you’re doing it for this purpose at all but “Mario’s” eyes in the body swap art are so intense with the shading, they look so sunken and hollow. I just imagine Bowser is doing absolutely nothing to maintain the health of Mario’s body. They’re gonna swap back and Mario is gonna feel so exhausted and hungry bc Bowser didn’t bother with any of that, he had more important things to do (like be a total creep)
Oh I'm so happy that someone has pointed this out! :D Okay, so here's a direct comparison:
One thing I did right away to give Bowser a more evil gaze was make the pupils a lot smaller. That's where a good portion of the intensity comes from. The size of the pupils and irises always plays a huge part in a character's overall friendliness, and it applies for both extremes.
As for the shadows and wrinkles, they make the white areas of the eyes stand out more, which tends to further accentuate that intensity. Even when he's relaxed, my Bowser indeed has those visible creases, but that's mostly because he squints a lot. He's got that typical "evil glare", if you will! 😆 Though I gotta say I love your interpretation of Bowser also neglecting Mario's body to the point where it shows! 👀 I'm definitely keeping that! 👏

Exciting update on the "Making the House Awesome" front:
(The cat has already tried to use the mock-stonework as a scratching post, but not the door, which actually looks like wood. Cat logic.)
Anyways, this is looking great, and we're very excited.

That one scene in The Shredder Strikes Part 2 but they're posing for their early 00s boy band album cover instead 😎
^ The illustration before I had to squarsh it!
^^ And here is The Scene (very grainy cuz there wasn't an HD screenshot on the wiki so I had to make do with the source I'm watching from). It makes me laugh every time cuz I just think it's kinda silly??? (I say, with the deepest affection) I was just like "why did they do this?? lol, so Dramatic" and then literally 2 seconds later it cuts to Splinter sitting at the top of the water tower also looking cool and I was like "ah, it's in their blood"
