In my attempts to push through burnout I decided to actually to try and do Bowser Day this year and redraw this piece from 2014 (https://twitter.com/DarkOverord/status/496356245432176640)
I'd say it came out well, so here's hoping I can focus on my outstanding work like this too lol. In fact I like this so much I've refused to resize down to a less than 900x900 png and left it as a jpg with a BG for Twitter (https://twitter.com/DamnRedDragon/status/1290712548392738820)!
So what's going on with that fire DO? The implication is that it's an illusion, something I didn't really pull off in 2014 honestly, and I think? I pulled it off this time???
Also originally I went with the eye colour for the shell and honestly? I don't think that works on the original so went with the darker colour I sue for Marcus and I think it looks much better.
Final changes? Extra chonk, and hopefully a slightly more dynamic pose to it. That relaxed arm on the old version just, doesn't fit (pretending to) breathing fire, but I think having it flex a little upwards shows a much more "in charge" pose and much more actively in to it really.
