Yea, he needs a tan background with Japanese characters all over it to make it look so cool.

dude you gotta vary your line weight.
i seriously couldn't even see mario for like the first minute i looked at the sketch. then i saw his torso and i thought bowsers tail was coming out of mario's waist. like it was some power-up that you thought might be cool, mutant-mermaid mario.
it's a good start.

There is line weight variation.beatifik said:
More so than with the original pencil drawing actually.
I don't think that's the problem, I think the problem is that the drawing is just too busy and crowded.
You should've seen the pencil version, it was probably even harder to follow.
I decided to ink it to see if that made it easier to read, as a matter of fact.
Color will definitely make it all clearer but a good drawing shouldn't need color to improve visibility.
So yeah, not one of my favorite drawings.

I think that if you had put more distance between the 3 characters it could have added to the perceived depth a whole lot and also made it look much less clutered. So it's not that it's too busy more so that it's too cramped.

The legs are kinda stubby (which is fine by me) but I could've definitely spent more time on the shoes to make them look less awkward.Mushiki said:
That's another way of putting it.Terry330 said:
I still think that there's unnecessary linework in there but yeah, the drawing could've definitely benefited from a better layout.
I probably rushed this a bit instead of taking my time to work out the kinks in it.
I tend to do that a lot.

yeah, i get what you're saying. it's just in a few specific places the sketch would've benefited from a more delicate hand.
like bowser's tail. since it's going into the background it should have a thinner outline and less detail. that's why it looks to me like mario has a tail. bowsers back leg too. it's the same outline. i'm sure you've heard it a million times before since you're in art school but perspective is more than sight lines and horizon and all that shit. line weight and the amount of detail really makes a huge difference in the way that the layers of the work are percieved.
the composition is rad, so i really don't think it's that the sketch is "too busy and crowded". you could take the easy way out and spread the whole thing onto a larger sheet of paper, but that would really dull the work down a lot.
i think i had the same problems with your spiderman sketch a while back. rad compositions but really confusing due to not differentiating the layers enough.
much better than i could do for sure, just saying.

Alright, I thought I'd take a shot at coloring this bad boy. Now mind you, this is far from finished. Much is needed to be done. This is just what I have done so far and I figure I might as well get some input and general thoughts. Well fire away.

bowser's lip-thing isn't supposed to be limegreen. go for a more yellowish tint.
other than that you've actually made it viewable without my eyes blinding from all the shit going on.
still dunno what's up with bowser's left leg (gildo's fault for running out of space).
that whole area is just a fucking mess.
and wow, thanks to your coloring, I just NOW noticed hermes gave Bowser some devil-like horns, and I've been looking at this pic for weeks now.
jesus herm you're a good artist and everything but don't be so ambitious if you can't fit it all next time.

Well, I used htis as my source image:
I figured herm was going for the Giga Bowser look so I sucked the color directly from the picture. Are there any better pictures of him around?
