Description Late April Fools Day?
Started this late last night and finished at 2AM, so I just barely missed it, but whatever. I probably still would have done this piece eventually.

The logo sucks, sorry. I rushed.

I don't think this would be a wise game choice! You know what happens when water meets paper!

ShadowLifeman In reply to CrazyDeputyEnchilada [2017-05-11 23:22:57 +0000 UTC]

There's water in the Paper Mario universe, so it doesn't really matter. Plus, you're not supposed to take this that seriously.

Hey at least Paper Mario Color Splash actually has the Koopalings and doesn't constantly glitch, unlike Super Mario Sunshine.

Koopalings are overused

But remember back before New Super Mario Bros. Wii when fans we're begging for the Koopalings to return?

"The logo sucks"? Are you kidding me? This is fantastic, better than anything I could possibly do. It almost looks official! Don't beat yourself up over minor details

ShadowLifeman In reply to MCSMeister [2016-06-26 20:43:21 +0000 UTC]

Messing up "minor details" like that can get me fired in my line of work.

MCSMeister In reply to ShadowLifeman [2016-06-26 20:45:23 +0000 UTC]

You mean you get paid to make these?

Still, the logo looks great to me, I don't see how it's bad at all!

ShadowLifeman In reply to MCSMeister [2016-06-26 21:26:16 +0000 UTC]

No, not these. These are made for fun.
I mean in the design world in general.

MCSMeister In reply to ShadowLifeman [2016-06-27 00:58:41 +0000 UTC]

Oh okay. Still, I don't see how this is a "minor mess-up", as I don't see anything wrong with the logo. What don't you like about it, out of curiosity?

ShadowLifeman In reply to MCSMeister [2016-06-27 02:34:17 +0000 UTC]

The ocean texture is supposed to be more visible, instead of a mono-tone blue like it is now.
The stroke thicknesses on the word "paper" needs to be brought down between 0.3pt and 1pt in thickness.
The palm tree is a lazily edited auto-trace of some generic clipart.
The Shine Sprite was not properly resized, so the stroke thicknesses are disproportionate.
The rainbow paint in the back is lazily drawn and not as elegant as a really brushstroke should be.

I could go on, but that should give you an idea as to how designers break apart and assess what to
improve about a piece and how to capitalize on it.

Alright. Well, this is just DeviantArt. We're not here to scrutinize your art like your job may With that said, there's no reason for you to think your logo is bad by any means. Maybe it's not exactly what a design company would want, but we're not all designers here. Most of us are casual people who simply like looking at art on this site.

With how much the fans are getting reminded of Sunshine via Splatoon and Color Splash, I'd be surprised of FLUDD doesn't return in a Mario game for the next system.

I know that it's just one of these April fools' day jokes, but I have always liked the idea of a crossover between Super Mario Sunshine and the Paper Mario series. In fact, I have the project to write one myself (or at least, to try to write one). I called it Paper Mario Sunshine : From Tartaruga With Love ("Bons baisers de Tartaruga" in French). The story is supposed to take place on the turtle island that you can see in the introduction cutscene of Super Mario Sunshine. ProtoTypedKnife one told me that he plans to write one too. Great minds think alike, I suppose.
But whatever, your artwork looks really beautiful. And it was a nice way to celebrate the first of April.
