Before officially bringing Bowser back in my art, I felt like revisiting the body swap concept I had shared sometime last year. Switching two contrasting characters' personalities is always a fascinating exercise for me, and I couldn't pass up the opportunity to draw 'Evil Mario' again! 👀
Make sure u eat, sleep/nap, drink and have fun 2day! U matter a lot more than u think and dat means u have 2 take care of dat wonderful face and body of urs! And u don't feel liek ur already perfect, u can always do sumthing abt it! Eat healthy and go 4 a run every once in a while! It'll make u feel good, trust me :3

So I had the fantastic opportunity to commission @fadedjacket for a piece of the best ot3 out there and! You guys! I am screaming! I have been giddy with excitement to show off this baby each time I saw a wip. It has been amazing to see it come together and I cannot thank you enough Lou! Absolutely just killed it like they people in their way! Guys its them! Its my girls Stasia and Carly and Carly's man Zenos! Like I'm just so happy oh my god! I highly recommend clicking and seeing all the detail that was put into this! It has been a long time coming and so so so so worth every minute of it! Thank you so so much again Lou I cannot believe the artistry in this! If you ever get the chance to work with them please do you will not be disappointed!

A companion piece to this concept I posted a while back. I really wanted to show the other side of the coin to complete the idea and give you all a glimpse of Bowser’s true nature in my version. He is Mario’s antithesis in every way, meaning that he will be portrayed as truly and deeply evil. 🙇♀️
sup guys I had a mental breakdown about editing yesterday please enjoy this newly written excerpt before I force my editor at threat of physical harm to let me post the chapter :)

The ending credits of the movie was the only noise in the room, accompanied by the little noises Anetra was making, mostly asleep already, face buried in the crook of Marcia’s neck. Marcia shifted, just enough to card her fingers through Anetra’s hair.
“Hey, sleeping beauty, I need to get up, okay?”
Anetra just whined wordlessly and pressed her body closer to Marcia’s. Marcia huffed out a quiet laugh and ghosted a kiss on the top of Anetra’s head.
“I have tap class at 9:30, I need to be well rested,” she murmured.
Though it would be fun to make a small animatic with freezer burnt peppino ( from ice cold au ) and ghost peppino ( from my frist pizza tower au I made called " game over ")
I'm planning on making reference sheets for all my aus at one point, but I wanna make a reference sheet for all my different peppinos frist.
