Always wondered what Donkey Kong's cabinet art would look like in Kotabe's style. While not really "box" art per se, this was still really fun to put together! #redrawgameboxart
I wanted to draw Flynn like the Super Mario Bros. illustrations by Yoichi Kotabe...
Go ahead and include all of Shigehisa Nakaue’s work as well. He’s done an amazing job as Kotabe’s successor, in all of the recent games
I’m begging you, Nintendo... for Mario’s 35th anniversary, PLEASE release an art book containing all of Yōichi Kotabe’s Mario art
Yoichi Kotabe is a huge inspiration for my art. So I drew Peri in the Mario 3D World style!
I think I did a pretty good job. It's always satisfying replicating such distinct style!
It's ironic that Nintendo didn't want Rare's Diddy design to be Donkey Kong Jr. when their recent 2D art by Nakaue Shigehisa bears an incredibly strong resemblance to Kotabe Yoichi's from back in the day, even Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong. I love it. It's kinda like DK Jr. is back.
@Mevans2703 These artworks look so cool! As much as I love and appreciate Yoichi Kotabe’s 2D artstyle I feel that Itadaki Street has a little more details like the overalls and show a bit on lighting and shading effects on the appearance. 😁👍🏻
on this #MAR10Day let's take a moment to appreciate Yōichi Kotabe!
he's responsible for refining Miyamoto's sketches of the plumber, giving us the designs for the characters we know today! his style is endlessly charming and the series wouldn't be where it is today without him!!

Clean Art Commission for @RayTheSnivy
he wanted a mario maker outfit so I gave it the Yōichi Kotabe 2D Mario Art Style
TIL about Yoichi Kotabe, Toei animator and official illustrator for the Super Mario Bros. series. I never had a name to put to the art - I used to trace these illustrations from the boxes for hours as a kid https://t.co/szndsLevop
oh yeah, you didn't know? kotabe doesn't do the art anymore. dude hasn't even worked at nintendo since his retirement in 2007.
all the art from 3D land onward's done by a guy called Shigehisa Nakaue. honestly the fact that people couldn't even tell says a lot about his talent
Practicing my Yoichi Kotabe Mario style with a little half-genie hero. I'm really looking forward to play #Shantae and the #SevenSirens.

Decided to do this just for fun. Mario if he got to Garreg Mach Monastery and Sothis on the current Yōichi Kotabe art style. #FEChallenge86 #FEChallenge87
So, sum total here: You've heard plenty about Miyamoto birthing Nintendo's best games.
Make sure to commit to memory Yoichi Kotabe as well.
Now, you may be thinking, BOB! You mentioned Zelda at the top of this. Plenty of Mario here, but where's the Zelda art?
Kotabe created the illustration art for 'Links Awakening' back in the early 90s.
