I challenged myself to redesign Mario. I decided to go with the SMB1 color palette and then make some touch-ups to the design. Plus I had to apply textures and details. I also included several known Mario enemies from the said game!

The following characters that got redesigned for fun:

* Mario
* Goomba
* Koopa Troopa
* Piranha Plant
* Cheep Cheep
* Buzzy Beetle
* Blooper
* Lakitu
* Koopa Paratroopa

Gang members, Zayn "Piranha" Gawel and Axel "Jaws" Miller

So This is the first of my designs for my TDBR AU Series I started back in... I believe late May last year? My style has evolved alot over the last year but the design itself I still really like. I plan on redrawing all 100 designs to my current style and maybe make a few design tweaks but Amy's design I think still holds up

An idea I had from Day 1 was that everyone had outfits designs to both match their style, as well as have their team colors, Amy is on the Platinum Piranhas which is the team with the more antagonistic character :p

Fun fact: I originally drew Amy first cause I had planned on making her the first boot. Yeah that's no longer the case, far from it, I won't say who's the first boot (cause im not even 100 sure) but it definitely isn't Amy.

Made Mario fanart since the movie came out a year ago

A warm up sketch that was cleaned up and colored.

I've always been kind of fascinated by piranhas every since I was kid. They're such a misunderstood little fish!

Did you know?

Red-Bellied Piranhas communicate through sound with various barks, grunts and croaks!

These carnivorous, small birds gather into huge flocks and attack one target in a group of travellers. Like winged piranha fish, they can pick a person to the bone in minutes.

I have a piranha mermaid OC imaginatively named....Piranha.
I usually draw her for #Mermay
She never shares her food.

I saw this base
Sonic couple base F2U by EmberLovesStealing
and wanted to try it as I've been in a sonic mood and thought it would be a good match for my Next gen oc Dawn and Cricket . I thought it was fun to interpret what animals they would be (which was especially hard for Cricket as his moms a fish alien and his dad is a mutant). I decided on a shark/piranha mix as it felt the most natural (I was thinking about him being an alligator, yet it didn't fit him.)
Dawn at first was a cat (being a witch and all) yet when I was thinking about her personality and her families legacy she'd be a fox. A cunning, sly fox with a lot of bad luck.

As for There roles in a sonic AU (that I had running in my head) Dawn would be in the racing scene with her own team, abandoning her duties as a witch to travel the world, only causing a bit of trouble. While Cricket and his crew are a group of wannabe thieves who are no more than a small thorn in Sonic's side. Some where along the way Dawn became smitten with Cricket, starting a long, turbulent, on and off relationship (Dawn may or may not have accidently ruined a few of Crickets schemes and Cricket has an ego). Still they work well together, sometimes.

Any way I hope you all like it.
