The literal finish line may be a good place to end this thread. I probably have a few more pieces knocking around somewhere, but 20 feels like enough.
Here's something unique: An unused piece of animation from Aria Kart. I made a few "Crossing the finish line" animations from different perspectives. This one turned out to be unnecessary, as it didn't match the final stage blocking.

Mario jumps through the tape in a Super Mario World goalpost
GOAL! (You can hear the music playing, can't you?)

Mario, Luigi and friends lift Nabbit up to celebrate his victory.
Another scene from the Nabbit comic, in which Nabbit is finally hailed as a hero.

Mario driving a giant boot on wheels
Pencil drawing of a concept to make the Mario 3 boot into a Mario Kart race car (get on this, Nintendo). Trivia: This was drawn before the boot on wheels was included in Paper Mario: The Origami King. I drew this in the lobby at MAGfest 2019.

Mario and friends ride on the Yoshi dinosaurs. Each Yoshi's color matches its rider's clothes.
Yoshi Rainbow. This one's a little low-res. Might be another good candidate for a redraw.

Good gravy, I have more pieces than I realized. Still haven't reached the end yet.
Sprites fro Mario, Luigi, Super Mario, Super Luigi, Toad, Princess Peach, and Bowser. The top row is redrawn sprites and the bottom row is the original versions.
Remember the year everyone tried to redraw the pixel sprites from the original Super Mario Bros?

Luigi, wearing a frog suit, and Mario, wearing a tanooki suit, visit the seven kings from Super Mario 3. Each king is wearing an animal costume, similar to the animals they were transformed into in the game.
This was a piece I called "Cosplay Kings." Inspired by Super Mario 3 (original version) and fursuiters.
BTW, If you enjoy my Super Mario stuff, odds are good that you'll love my original comics, which draw a lot of inspiration from video game quests. www.lepusstudios.com/comic/dw-ch1...

Fancy Lakitu, a sort of mascot for Aria Kart.
Opera is not a dead medium and don't let anyone tell you otherwise.

Three Koopa Troopas
Koopa illustration to match the puppets.
Fun Fact: The scarves were inspired by Kooper from Paper Mario. I decided they should wear scarves so their signature colors would be more visible on stage.

Three Koopa Troopa puppets with red, green, and blue boots.
The Koopa puppets from Super Smash Opera presents Aria Kart. I designed and made all three of them.

It's Nabbit!
It's Nabbit! Taken from that Nabbit comic I made for Easter 2024.

Princess Daisy, Princess Peach, and Princess Rosalina in action poses.
Here's an older one. Still pretty cute. Maybe I should redraw it some time.

Mario Comic Panel 1: Luigi holds up a red mushroom and yells, "I found a Super 'Shroom!" Panel 2: Mario knocks a green mushroom out of an item box and calls out, "I found a Life 'Shroom!" Panel 3: Mario and Luigi compare mushrooms. Luigi complains, "Why do you always have to 1up me?"
Little Mario comic.
I didn't make the comic for Super Smash Opera, but it was once used to promote one of the encore performances.

Baby Mario wears a tanooki suit onesie. Baby Luigi wears a kitsune suit onesie. They are sitting on a pile of brown leaves.
Babies, an ink-and-watercolor study.
Geno from Super Mario RPG, firing stars from his fist while jumping over forest leaves.
It's Geno!
I have this design on a T-shirt somewhere.
Bowser's claw grabs at Mario while the partner characters from Paper Mario and Paper Mario: The Thousand Year Door try to pull Mario away from Bowser.
Here's the Paper Mario Partners image I made for some online art event. This one was a bit of a fan favorite
I had an old printer that worked really well and I used it for over a decade until the rollers fell apart. I replaced it with the newest model in the same line and I hate it so much.
Mario and friends drive down the road in a mushroom car.
Another redraw. The design from a Super Mario music album from the early 80's, updated with modern character designs.

Paper Mario doodles based on Origami King designs
A redraw of the iconic Super Mario 1985 box art (Japanese version) Mario is jumping over water towards Bowser's castle while fighting enemies. Luigi, Toads, Bowser, and Princess Peach look on.
It's Mar10 day. How about I share some of my Mario art throughout the day? Sound good?
