Hey!

Hate to resort to a character that is more of a "cameo" in a fighting game more than an actual fighter, but I just liked the idea of a really gritty Mario, so I got started this weekend:



Will add the hat of course, but just liked how much more menacing he looked without it!

Also, once the colors go in he should be more recognizable.

Bal

Hehe, this is gonna be great I'm sure.

StefanH

wow im sure this will be great! go fletch

ParoXum

Man that's what I call a Mario redesign!

JacqueChoi

Shizzzle! Beast of an idea!

leslievdb

IridionSnake

WillMac

Dude! Cannot wait to see this in 3D... I am in concept heave here... and the "Come ere love i'll fix yer fucking pipes".... reminds me of Lahndahn.

Daven

Geez, how am I supposed to win this thing when people like you come up with stuff like this? lol, no seriously, this looks like it'll be a lot of fun.

DLoud

Pulling out the big guns this year I see. Can't wait to see this!

beta_channel

wonderful! make sure there is butt crack galore.

Sebeuroc

This is amazing! I love the concept art and idea. Definitely watching this.

Baj Singh

Looks absolutely mint mate. Can't wait to see what the sculpts going to look like.

mxdirector

Ron Jeremy isn't in a fighting game.

I kid, I kid, it looks fantastic as of now.

Bri_Spencer

Haha awesome concept! Cant wait to see it man!

Jeff Parrott

Guy Ritchie Mario! I love it!

YBourykina

:O love it! can't wait

NuclearWarrior

Looks like it will be a cool model - especially all his little tools on his belt.
I told this to some guy who is making an older, retired Andy Bogard - maybe just give him a red/blue beanie instead of a full fledged hat. People still know it's Mario with the colors, the mustache, and outfit. Just an idea, will be cool for sure either way!

onelunglewis

EzMeow

Best Mario ever !

Cordell Felix

Fuck yes.

wizo

Loving it, only detail I would add is eyepouches so that he looks even more tired/depressed. This is gonna be good, good luck JFletch! Always digging your work

spacemonkey

represent JFletch!

Ryan Smith

Fletcher, you are my favorite artist on polycount, hands down. If you want american citizenship, i'll marry you and have your babies.

Yes, i am a dude.

mxdirector

anyone else notice the tattoo on the right arm? nice touch.

ojlsparkes

i am really looking forward to seeing the end result of this awesome concept, this is how Mario should have looked from the very begining

mcunha98

Amazing concept !

beezul

Buckster

Hell yes! I am feeling this. You have such great feeling to your shapes in both 2 and 3d so keep this up man. Looking forward to this.

MasteroftheFork

nice interpretation, I have to say I would not want that guy jumping on my head!

ScudzAlmighty

CapAmer1ca

Brilliant design. One of my favorite character artist!

JFletcher

Thanks.

Slow progress, but I got a base mesh done:



Some bits that are off, or look too weird, but I'll correct it all with the high poly. (And yes I'm going to rotate the arms up, heh)

More soon, hopefully something interesting

edit:

Lame, 3AM

Dudestein

Lovely concept, and great start on the base mesh. Awesome work so far man!

grassetti

nice job man!! Keep it up!

MissMaddyTaylor

Love it! Haha this is such an epic Mario

Onuris

How is that I haven't commented on this yet? I think I must have been overwhelmed by the awesome the first few times I saw it. I think I've grown accustomed to it now, at least enough to reply and say:

AWESOME!

Cordell Felix

your base mesh is perfect dude. Gah i cant wait to see him sculpted out.
Btw i love your style of concepting, it has this like overlay color value on the whole thing and its just so awesome...its hard to explain. I'd love to learn your technique of hand painting like that.

Stertman

nice base.. this can be a really funny piece=)

gaganjain

This what badass mario look like....

gwad

wooow great basemesh and your concept is realy cool
