Once my stress is getting less, I would like to start my Mario art again with some headcanons that are still floatin' around in my inbox.

Should you also have any new ones, don't shy away and ask :) maybe I'll find a good way to portrait them :)

Luigi: Looks, like a cinnamon roll, is actually a cinnamon roll.

Mario: Looks like a cinnamon roll, could actually kill you.

Peach: Looks like she could kill you, is actually a cinnamon roll.

Bowser: Looks like he could kill you, could actually kill you.

I agree. But does Peach really look like she could kill you? (no doubt she could. but she doesn't look like it)

Did Luigi also tell Peach how sensitive Mario's belly is to raspberries or does she know already? 👀

I'm sure Luigi wouldn't have needed to tell her. She would have found it out on her own :P

[1-upboys]

So you've told us your tickling headcannons for Luigi but what about Mario? Where do you think he's most ticklish at? How does he react to being tickled? And most importantly, does he enjoy getting tickled?

Haha, well I do think that Mario is less ticklish than Luigi, or maybe he's just better at hiding it at some point. Because he needs to be the stronger brother for the two. But I think his two weaknesses are Luigi tickles and Peach tickles. (especially Peach tickles *cough cough*)

Hey, I know it's my 3rd ask but I am curious. Have you heard of Mario and the music box? It was a Question I wanted to ask in my 1st ask, but I forgot until today. I hope you don't mind. 😅.

I actually have hard of it yes! But I never played it / never really had contact to the game before.

Is it any good? :o

HEY-YO! I wanted to say a couple of things:

1) I LOOOOVEEE and LIIIVEEE (for) your Mario arts, and I think it's-a perfect (lol, inner Giuseppe moment, hahaha)!

2) I'd love to know your opinion on everyone from Nintendoman01 (FanFiction.net)'s fic "Adventures of the Super Mario Bros.", it's his take on the Mario mythos, with cues taken from all over the franchise, the first 11 chapters (plus prologue) were overhauled last year after the movie came out, so they matched some stuff from the movie, the fic is 43 chapters so far, but I am sure you'll love it, specially the fights and chemistry built!

Heck, I'd even love to see art of it! Oooorrrrr, also too, your opinion on "Super Mario Bros. (Film)"'s pitch by Speedymcfly on Idea Wiki!

3) Have you seen the newly released Mario family concept arts?! They're not Nintendo's, but still! There's also from Brooklyn inhabitants! (There are more below)

Aaaanyway, have a super duper day, you rock!

Hi there! i'm sorry for the late answer

thank you so so much! I'm very glad you like it!! It really makes my day :)

I sadly havent heard of that fanfic yet! :o plus, lately i didn't have much time on my hands to read anything for fun, which sucks. I hope things will become less stressful soon!

PFFFFF these are adorable! thanks for showing me!! love them. I'm very excited for the next Mario movie, I can't wait sdklfhsalkdhf

[1-upboys]

describe you art style

Hmm, i'd say it's very colourful, and imperfect (like not too straight linework) -- too wobbly even in my opinion...

Anyways, there's lots of improvement to do.

*Begs on my knees*

Please.....more ticklish!Mario.....we need more...

Here's a recent commission I did for a user :P Enjoy, ya ticklish Mario fans!

TW: FAMILY MEMBER DEATH

Another commish for @rainbogen Mario AU (heavily inspired by the Super Mario live action movie) where Mario and Luigi lost their parents pretty early and Mario has to be little Luigi's everything from now on.

Thanks for the support :)

A quick update on my medical thing...

I want to give you guys a quick update regarding my emergency commissions.

First of all, I really want to thank you guys so much for always being interested in my art - I appreciate your support, I appreciate every single donation, every single sharing of my current commissions and every single nice word I'm receiving from you guys. It's been tough times and I cannot thank you enough. Really.

Since I really wanted to work on my mental health and actually go through some medical procedures that sadly aren't being paid by the state, I've worked a lot on collecting some money through cheap commissions to undergo it as well as inform myself on those procedures in the first place. ( I won't go into details on what I wanted to do, cause it's private - some people know and those who know, I ask you to please keep it to yourselves.)

Coming straight to the point now: I have been to Vienna last weekend and went to 3 separate, non-dependent clinics that offer these treatments. 

Two of them were absolute rubbish, they were unprofessional, therefore not trustworthy, and I felt very uncomfortable. After these two appointments I've already doubted a lot of those things. The first one even told me it would  be a waste of money if I didn't want to take any pills accompanying the treatment (which was an absolute no-go for me and a border I didn't want to cross). So my brain has already been thinking of.... just leaving it be.

The third appointment was absolutely great. The first time, a real doctor who really knew what he was talking about, talked to me. And he was trustworthy, he was honest, he was absolutely lovely and great. He also was absolutely transparent, even with the price and all (11,500 bucks… PFFFFF) But I have already decided, long before I even went to Vienna, that I don’t need it. 

The problem lies deeper than that. I learned a lot about myself in these two days in Vienna. And I learned that this is going to be the start of an era where I will obtain self love and only self love! Because that is the problem I am struggling with a lot. The lack of respect I have for myself. And this procedure won’t make it better.

The money I have collected for this treatment is now, without a doubt, useless when it comes to the treatment I was hoping to get. And the more I think about not doing it and not undergo surgery, the better and relieved I feel. 

But

The money won't be useless when it comes to my job situation - as you guys maybe know, I will most likely lose my job and the money I have collected by drawing countless commissions now will come in handy for that near future where I will maybe have to look for a new job and maybe build up my own business.

So I’m thankful for every tiny little commission you still want to buy off of me and, as I already said above, I’m so thankful for your support and for every tiny donation. You guys are great.

I wanted to be honest with you, I don’t want you to keep donating or paying commissions for a lost cause (the medical one) because that wouldn’t be the right thing to do. Not at all. I wanted to let you know that the cause kind of changed now.

And that I will still offer cheap commissions until the end of 2024 before I go back to my regular prices! 

2025 is going to be a year in which I will work on my confidence and self love. It’s gonna be tough, but nothing I won’t be able to handle.

Again, thank you so much for being the best community an artist wishes for. 

Love ya all!

Hey there, guys! 💚

Long time no see!

I'm so sorry for not being too active at the moment. My Mario fanart sadly has to be put aside at the moment, besides the commissions I'm taking for my medical bills.

I just want to give you guys a little heads up and update about what's up and what not:

My presentation for my huge final project for my graphic design diploma is coming closer (Dec 11th) and it's a lot of work (designing lots of stuff, going through the printing process, building dummies, as well as creating an own website etc.).

I'm working 40 hours a week and when I come home from a long day at work I usually sit there until 2 am to keep on working on my project as well as commissions for you and my other art community.

Things also don't seem to look good for my work situation. The company won't be able to afford me in the long run which means I'll probably have to leave by the end of the year or around 2025. That's why I'm currently trying to figure out what to do as well. Losing a job you actually loved is not a pleasant experience. Especially now, it feels weird to go to work with the constant thought of not being wanted / affordable. Gives me a bitter taste to be honest.

Plus, of course ,working on my mental health and whatsoever but theres a lot of things happening altogether that makes things turn out to be a bit tougher than usual.

I'll survive for sure so don't worry about me!

I hope things are okay at your end and I hope youll look forward to seeing new Mario and Luigi fanart (besides commishes) hopefully around Christmas :)

Greetings and have a nice day~

Hey for the Parrotfish comic-if Mario & Luigi's grandfather fought in WWII, could you please clarify whether he fought in the resistance or the Italian military? Because if it's the latter... yikes 😬

The Marios are Italians. So there's that.

Normal soldiers who fought in WW2 were forced to. They didn't have a choice. But yes - yikes.
