Since I joined the #Mario3Redrawn project over on Twitter I've done a number of redraws of different stages. This is going to be my last one. It's a redraw of the beginning of World 1-5 where you slide down the first ramp through all the Buzzy Beetles.
@AndroidArts Dig the deep shadow around the top of the mechanical pillars and the gradation into black on the main character themselves.
World of Illusion backgrounds also favour large blocks of a shadow colour with quick transition across the whole ramp
Various layout drafts. I wanted a Klonoa/Kirby 64/Pandemonium look, albeit in 2D with NES palette. The original style of the black background appeals to me, so iterating upon it and finding a compromise between 'detail' and 'void to encourage imagination' was difficult
Got to join in on #Mario3Redrawn and produce the graphic for one of the Hammer/Sledge Bro stages in Giant Land
