So, here I am ready to make an ass out of myself and bite off more than I can chew. I chose Mario Sports Mix. [quote]The game contains a decent number of unused models, including one for the Final Fantasy character, Bahamut. http://www.mariowiki.com/File:Bahamut-MarioSportsMix.png [/quote] EARLY WIP (This thing is obviously unfinished): [img]http://i.imgur.com/JuA4UJM.png[/img]

I added subtle gradients like in Super Paper Mario's actual artwork, and finally remembered to add Mario's sideburn. Unless I'm forgetting something else, or I have an idea of something else to add, this is probably the final version. [spoiler][img]https://dl.dropboxusercontent.com/u/29071079/BetaWhoaZonePossibleFinal.png[/img] Unlike my spriting contest entry, I'm actually happy with this one to the point where I currently have it set as my desktop (glad I did this in HD...). Oddly enough, my old desktop BG was Super Paper Mario themed as well...[/spoiler] Good luck to everyone! EDIT: Accidentally exported drawing instead of page. Well, at least you know what I saw when making it...

Spoilered due to size [spoiler][img]http://i.imgur.com/NvFlgRM.png[/img][/spoiler] I will tell you guys right now, this was NOT one of my better idea's. Bahamut is really quite complex.. :whoops:

^But it looks really good Nite :) I was hoping for some sports-y elements in your pic, considering it's a beta from Mario Sports Mix. He looks like he could dribble a basketball in this post :3

Very cool, Nite! Out of curiosity, are his eyes and face supposed to be like that?

I did this with my finger on my Nexus 5. Without a computer it's hard to make quality artworks: https://www.dropbox.com/s/sc2t6nt3h9ysc5v/Screenshot_2014-03-21-03-31-47.png Still WIP though.

I almost missed the bus because of this guy: [img]http://i.imgur.com/lLQWzxp.png[/img] I'll shade it when I get back from school.

[quote="Novak"]Very cool, Nite! Out of curiosity, are his eyes and face supposed to be like that?[/quote] Thanks . Kinda yes, kinda no. I never have been too great with artwork, and getting Bahamut in the state he is took a lot of work. [quote="Guinea"]^But it looks really good Nite :) I was hoping for some sports-y elements in your pic, considering it's a beta from Mario Sports Mix. He looks like he could dribble a basketball in this post :3[/quote] Thanks. Hmm, good point. I'll see what I can do about possibly a basketball hoop, and a basketball. [quote="Novak"]I almost missed the bus because of this guy: [img]http://i.imgur.com/lLQWzxp.png[/img] I'll shade it when I get back from school.[/quote] Shame that Nintendo never used this guy. Good work!

That looks really cool though, Nite!

[quote="DJ Coco"]That looks really cool though, Nite![/quote] Thanks! So does yours BTW, I wish they had actually done that in the final game. Edit: In light of Guinea's suggestion: [img]http://i.imgur.com/iydTmq5.png[/img] I could not make it look like he is approaching his hoop to save my life, so he is moving away from the opponent's.

^Haha brilliant! EDIT: And to me it DOES look like he's approaching the loop, from a very dramatic angle, and coming from the side. He's probably gonna jump soon and then turn 360° in the air, dunking it in!

That works great then, considering what I was initially shooting for. :D [quote="[url=http://phpbb.mfgg.net/viewtopic.php?p=401478#p401478]Demonlemon[/url]"][img]http://i159.photobucket.com/albums/t148/Demonlemon/shouldnthaveatethemshrooms.png[/img] unused yoshi mushroom transformation from yoshis island[/quote] I almost wonder how that would have actually played.

[img]http://i.imgur.com/s48UKwc.png[/img] Well, I think that's about all I can do here...

Wonderful entries, everyone. I really like your idea, supernova!

Neat Nite! It's getting better with each update :3

I drew the beta girl from Super Mario Sunshine. You can hardly tell what she looks like, so I just took a guess. I don't think it turned out super good, but here is my entry: [spoiler][img]http://i1273.photobucket.com/albums/y412/EvilYoshiMan/SuperMarioSunshineBetagirl2_zps041d08a3.png?t=1395435767[/img][/spoiler] This is the link showing she actually existed : [url]http://www.mariowiki.com/File:Sunshine_Beta.jpg[/url]

That looks really good, but the facial expression of her creeps me out.
