Description My entry for current contest! The idea is to have Peach cosplaying as someone. I didn't have any ideas for a while, but I finally decided on Paula from Earthbound. They both wear a pink dress, and they both use a frying pan for a weapon! I couldn't decide if I wanted to go a Super Mario RPG route with the picture (since Peach has a frying pan weapon in that game) or a Super Smash Bros. Brawl route.

As you can see, I went the Brawl route! I wanted to have Peach smashing someone with the frying pan in battle, and I wanted to have Ness there, wondering if Peach really is Paula. I decided to use Lucas, since he's the other Mother character in the game. He's sort of a crybaby, so he was the perfect character to have running away from Peach! Since I had the Mother characters, I decided to have the picture take place on the Onett stage. And of course, how could I not include the always adorable Mr. Saturn? I know that Paula's skirt on her dress is actually pretty straight, but this pose was just screaming for a swishing dress! Also, Ness is wearing his alternate Mr. Saturn shirt outfit. Sadly, the Mr. Saturn on the shirt is not visible... ;_;

The title is in reference to when you get a critical hit in Earthbound. It was actually supposed to be "Cosplay SMAAAASH!!", but I couldn't include the exclamation points.

I'm sad I had to rush it at the end, and that the final product doesn't have as much of a feel of motion as the sketch did, but I had a blast working on this, and I will try to draw more action-packed pictures in the future!

Heh, it's actually Princess Peach dressed up like Paula!  Poor Lucas is definitely in her sights though and will most likely get launched into the sky in the next few seconds.

Woohoo, you finished in time!! Well done Nad00d. My favorite things about this piece, in no particular order, are:

1) ACTION! I know it's challenging, but you did it.

2) Big shadows, mainly on Peach's legs and left arm. These shadows give her a lot more depth, especially in combination with strategically-placed bits of light, like on her right knee. She makes a lot more sense as a 3D object in space rather than a flat drawing. Awesome.

3) Interaction between two characters. Peach is CLEARLY looking at Lucas who is CLEARLY in front of Peach and closer to the viewer. It sounds simple, but is actually hard to do well, and a lot of professional artists struggle with this and only draw characters by themselves as a result. Bravo!

Most of all, I'm proud of you for muscling your way through this picture to meet your deadline. Aren't you glad you did?

1) Action was seriously fun to do! I want to do more!

2) I love when shadows give a 3D feel! I'm so happy it seemed that way to you! As a 2D image, her right leg seemed to be at the same angle as her left one, but it wasn't supposed to be. The shadows helped me convey her knee's position properly!

3) YES, that IS a hard thing to do! It's hard to make someone actually look like they're looking at someone! Isn't that weird? And perspective is a tough thing, too. That's the theme of one of the How to Draw Manga books I have. I'm glad that worked out, too!

Thank you SO much for the awesome comment, Ames! ~hugs~

Great minds think alike? XD

They really are a lot alike. You noticed a lot more similarities than I did! Good luck in the contest!
