He tried to stay up to greet Mario upon his return, but he just got too sleepy.

The gesture did not go unappreciated.

This art is actually pretty old now but I wanted to post something to give an idea of what my style looks like and I’m trying to psych myself up into sharing more but I’m still very nervous.

I decided to illustrate something to go with my “Runt” story teaser that I posted here.

My markers decided to die and ruin the color. Guess I’m switching back to digital art. TwT But I’m no good at digital hhh.

I really hope I can write that whole story someday. And “Infected”. And a few other ideas I’ve had.

I’ve been working really hard to come more and more out of my shell. It’s been so long since I was active online. I’m still getting the hang of making actual interesting posts with some consistency… but I’ve got myself drawing again and have managed to reach out to a few people on random occasions.

I’d like to believe I’ve made some real progress.

I am now very much in the market for an active Mario discord server. So definitely let me know if you know any that wouldn’t mind having me join.

Thanks to everyone riding out my weird return to social interactions with me. I appreciate you so much and hope I can continue to make new friends and really carve myself out a spot in the fandom.

And have this little scribbly WIP I was sketching out earlier cuz why not.

Another of @tinydragontoonz amazing Mario designs! This time for a “Mr. M” a la Super Paper Mario. I had to include the little pants patches cuz I loved the extra flair of color it added!

I’m having so much fun actually drawing again! If anyone has any suggestions of what to draw next or other prompts or ideas, I’m always happy to hear them!

This is actually a pretty old piece I did forever ago so please excuse the kinda wonky-ness of the whole thing. This was before there was even a remake in the works.

But this was one of my favorite parts from Superstar Saga just cuz of how crazy it was.

The alpha dream games are my absolute favorites.

After ages of not drawing anything, I was finally artistically inspired by @tinydragontoonz amazing design for a cooler wing cap power up. It was so awesome that I had to try drawing it too! All credit for the design goes to them!

Despite making the mistake of drawing on the worst paper ever, I still managed to finish it. And it’s only thanks to incredible support that I found the courage to share it.

Im still really struggling to be social and to have artistic confidence, so please let me know if you ever want to do any art trades or be a beta reader for me or anything. I’m finally making progress after years of locking myself away.

Ancient concept art for a koopa based antagonist after I realized a story of mine called for a simple one-off villain and none of the canon characters fit the bill.

I only ever wrote a teaser chapter for that story. I’d love to share it, but I’m still very nervous about posting publicly. I can share it privately with anyone who wants to read it, though.

I should really redraw him and write the full story but I’m still wrestling my self esteem, hhh.
