Description
I always thought the NES Super Mario Bros. had some seriously awesome style goin on. Maybe it's just a nostalgia thing now, but nevertheless, I still think it's got some great aesthetics.I did a rough sketch of this a while back, with the idea that I would redo it with vectors later, and add the aging effects and etc. I never got around to it until now. I must say, I'm very happy with the result, which is unusual for me. I do think that the fraying could be improved, and the very bottom is somewhat plain, but overall, I'm happy with it.
So tell me what you think. Comments and fav's are good stuff.
Enjoy.
Edit: The texture was a bit too much, and too pink. I edited the texture and tweaked the colors a bit. And added some fancy-pants lines on the side.

The plain bottom looks good. It's also good how even though the overall design is kinda simple, it still just looks good. You can make everything out, having a flow and they have such style. The colour, texture look is really working here, it brings joy to my eyes. Sweet stuff.

Thanks. I try not to cram too much into my work; intense detail is not usually my forte.

Thank you. Mario kicked the pants off all the other NES games, hands down.

Wow, your artwork is pretty darn beast. I really enjoy all this retro Nintendo stuff. It really hits the 8-bit spot.

Photoshop 7 here. I actually just got CS3 the other day and have yet to create anything with it.
And you never know when TG may pop in and leave a few comments.

I really love this. Esp the colours on top (the rainbow lines) which adds a great touch to the whole work. Smooth and Great

Thanks a lot. Yeah the rainbow was one of those last-minute "what if..." things. The sky was too blank, and I'd been wanting to do a rainbow thing for a while, so I took the opportunity.
Thanks again.

Nice work, I really like the design! The shading style and texture on this looks pretty sweet, as well.
