Yeah, it's not perfect. perspective's a bit off, AA could use some work, probably a couple wasted colors, but whatever, I'm done working on this for now. Might come back to it sometime.

DrSlouch (Level 6 Yonkyu) @ 4/21/2020 15:51

A cool concept, definitely unsual for pixel art but of course you pulled off the pixel work very well (the AA looks mostly very good).

Fusionnist (Level 10 Operative) @ 8/18/2015 13:10

Nice :)

D-Hixxle (Level 1 Gangster) @ 3/7/2008 14:20

Beyond awesome.

LegacyCrono (Level 1 Rookie) @ 2/28/2008 08:45

Awesome! When I first saw the preview, I was thinking that it was actually rendered 3D... xD

There's not much to be said but what has already been noticed. Great work! ^^

KrCa (Level 1 Rookie) @ 2/27/2008 15:31

Wow. Looks very smooth :D

l3m0n5 (Level 4 Deputy) @ 2/26/2008 17:39

Very well done; loving the contrast and change in styles from pixelated to more 3d looking :D

CaKsTeR (Level 3 Stalker) @ 2/26/2008 07:46

Awesome. The concept is really unique, and i cant see any flaws in the picture, apart from the angle of the statue. but that doesnt matter!

JerryPie (Level 11 Big Foot) @ 2/25/2008 17:21

Wow this is such a great idea! I love it

Doomcreator0 (Level 5 Assistant Manager) @ 2/25/2008 17:20

A great concept, I really like it.

Slemsvamp (Level 6 Serial Killer) @ 2/25/2008 16:06

Duuude, why didnt I come up with that? Excellent!

Zephiel87 (Level 4 Lieutenant) @ 2/25/2008 15:57

More versions sounds like more effort. And I'm not a big fan of effort. :P

amerup (Level 4 Murderer) @ 2/25/2008 15:40

I LOVE this! You should make a bunch of these for different 8-bit games, then you could maybe even start a trend! O.o

skeddles (Level 11 Sphinx) @ 2/25/2008 14:56

I'll be your best friend if you make a balloon fight version.

maintrix (Level 1 Rookie) @ 2/25/2008 13:45

very good idea

SillyJonna (Level 2 Kukyu) @ 2/25/2008 11:31

This is beyond awesome!

jamon (Level 10 Operative) @ 2/25/2008 01:16

Club Beuker (Level 5 Detective) @ 2/25/2008 00:44

Everything involving something Nintendo like in a setting like this gets me going *nods*.

ooshmaster (Level 5 Soldier) @ 2/23/2008 12:47

Fuzzyleaves (Level 5 Detective) @ 2/22/2008 16:37

Bacteriophage (Level 5 Sniper) @ 2/22/2008 15:48

Haha, I absolutely LOVE the concept for this. Fived and faved.

Reo (Level 11 Sphinx) @ 2/22/2008 10:08

Very cooool

Flarfy (Level 5 Detective) @ 2/22/2008 05:18

Mario is such an egotripper! Look at the smug bastard touching a giant version of himself! Looks a bit like it's about to fall over. Overall a really nice job pixeling this

Zephiel87 (Level 4 Lieutenant) @ 2/21/2008 23:57

something like that :P

Metaru (Level 8 Brigadier General) @ 2/21/2008 23:14

so mario is touching its own 8bit gigantic crotch?

dumbo (Level 4 Mercenary) @ 2/21/2008 21:52

This is a wonderful piece of work...

skamocore (Level 11 Dolphin) @ 2/21/2008 21:44

Awesome! Really love how you did the giant Mario...The one thing though that really stands out as being off is the 45° AAing on the mountains.

HMC (Level 7 General Manager) @ 2/21/2008 21:31

Haha, this is great. Awesome concept.

MrWeirdGuy (Level 3 Corporate Drone) @ 2/21/2008 21:25

This looks awesome and I really love it. However, if the guy constructing the 8-Bit Mario is supposed to be the real Mario, his overalls don't cross in the back. Also, I'm pretty sure the pipes should be a little bit shinier.
