#anyway i haven't actually played any mario so perhaps pink mario already exists. who can say

[starflungwaddledee]

had a nightmare that i woke up and overnight someone had just sent an ominous "comm'd you >:)" comment on one of my posts here. so i looked around in confusion and finally went to my email, where i found their request. they wanted a fully rendered animated comic, with a motion background that the character would walk around and interact with, as though it was a 3D game scene.

their character was a mario rpg oc (simply called 'pink mario') who was about what you'd expect, and the reference was simply a recoloured official render; except the eyes had been scratched out and were junji-ito like black pits 😬

it was apparently due in two days, and i was pretty sure 'pink mario'- who had started moving around in the reference image- was gonna jump out the screen and get me if i didn't deliver

they had (somehow) paid me a whopping $17 for this task.
