Description Finally finished him... blargh
This took me about a month in and out of revision (i really time my creative spurts badly) Pain to make but i'm happy with the overall result

I recently got back into playing the mario and luigi rpg series, and felt like creating something based off of it. I came up with a little scenario in my head, and decided that i would try to do two forms of Giga Bowser. This is the first form, which i based off a quick sketch i drew and the original giga bowser design. I used the mario and luigi partners in time bowser colour palette to colour giga bowser in, as when i started creating him i hadn't played Bowser's Inside Story yet, so i didn't want to spoil it for myself

Obviously the mario and smaller bowser sprites come from the game itself, i just put them there to give you an idea of scale. Might upload a little progression thing of him to show you how many steps it took to create giga bowser I'll most likely base the second form more towards the original giga bowser design, and probs do it in Bowser's inside story style now i've completed the game.

Also the work's given me the chance to create a new tag for myself, which i'm rather pleased with as well

Mario and Bowser are copyright and belong to Nintendo, as is the idea of Giga Bowser.
This Giga Bowser sprite however belongs to me.
Credit goes to boomansion for ripping the original bowser sprite.

Feel free to use for anything if you want
Don't go claiming it as your own work etc.

Some constructive criticism:

He has too much chin, and his face isn't sharp or lean enough (just based off of my knowledge of SSB). His eyes and horns are too small, and his colors are too light (but that's just a nitpick). Also, his far leg looks a little wonky, but I don't know why.


Everything else is pretty darn good; his shell looks absolutely great, and his near leg looks well-done as well! The arms look nice (if a bit thick), and the tail and torso are definitely menacing. Good job!

That looks really amazing in M&L style. My only gripe is that the colors are off; otherwise, the sprite itself is fantastic.

Thanks i know but tbf i was planning on doing a proper giga bowser after this one, the idea was in game bowser hasn't perfected giga yet and this is the first result, sadly i haven't got round to doing the level up version as of yet

sonickirbyfanno7np10 [2012-12-29 01:19:14 +0000 UTC]

one thing you sould pay attention to, is that bowser's jaw is never completely closed. also that giga bowser has an overally darker color. otherwise, good job.

Ah cheers dude, i'll take on your advice for when i do the second version since the plan was to do two versions of giga bowser, this one was a little tester for it

sonickirbyfanno7np10 In reply to code14 [2013-01-29 23:28:58 +0000 UTC]

well in that case, here are some other notes:

1. his chin & jaw should be smaller.
2. his fingers should be more apart like regular bowser.
3. his horns are thicker & to the back.
4. his shell should have pointy ends on the corners.
5. giga bowser's eyes are maniac-looking & blood-shot when compered to regular bowser.

hope this helped, looking forward to the next version

Why do Giga Bowser's chins remind me of Peter Griffin's? They do look like a nut sack.

You should give him a different palette

code14 In reply to MegamanRockX2 [2012-07-08 22:54:38 +0000 UTC]

Do you mean like a series of different colour palettes or just changing the one i've used for a different one?

Thanks Erm it does? i haven't played fire emblem so i don't know the style, if it does that was by accident
I only referenced sprites from Mario and Luigi partners in time... and making it up as i went along xD

Looks very much like the Giga Bowser from Super Smash Bros, but Mario and Luigi styled. I bet he would be a frikkin pain to defeat if he were in the actual game.

code14 In reply to Hexidextrous [2012-06-10 16:23:54 +0000 UTC]

Yeah that was the kinda feel i was aiming for. And naturally he'd be one of the most annoying bosses of all (born through bowser carelessly eating a random mushroom again xD) Still need to make the second one though, and he'll be even more annoying xD

Its in my lengthy description , i'm doing two stages of giga bowser, this is the first one, then i'm going to do one that's more closely related to the original giga bowser, make him even bigger, and do him in the Bowser's Inside Story style.
