Guess who saw the Super Mario movie! It was exactly the kind of movie I wanted to see out of the franchise, frankly; the plot wasn't very deep, but in turn the movie was very easy to digest and it was extremely fun. I had a great time from start to finish! Not to mention the nuggets of worldbuilding it received, so I'm very interested in that. :)
That said, seeing it paired with a couple of the sketch requests I got from ya'll, I figured it'd be a good time to revisit the design phase of the AU for a bit!
I really liked how feisty Peach was in the movie so I decided I wanted to mix that in with how I personally see her. I see Peach as a woman who is unapologetically girly, and has a wild, adventurous side. I tried to make show that by filling her out a little more, largely by giving her more angles than I previously had when I drew her. Basically, a bit more box-y and not entirely soft. owo
Then there's Daisy! Since Peach, Pauline, and Rosalina all have long hair, I wanted to contrast that with Daisy by giving her much much shorter hair. I also tried to make her a little more masculine and a tad rough. Finally, her eyes; nearly every character (with the exception of Bowser) in Super Mario has blue eyes. While I've already broken that canon, I decided to try out something a lil extra with Daisy by giving her red eyes instead the original green I gave her. It surprisingly fits! o3o
But yeah! A mix between a sketch request as well as inspiration hitting me with some ideas. I'd like to give the design test treatment to more of the main cast of the AU: Bowser, the Brothers, Yoshi, Pauline and Rosalina, so on. :)
But ye! Hope you like the art! More to come soon! uwu
