This is probably my best Mario vector I've made! It took me a little less than a week to draw the default Mario. It took me lots of time and inspiration to make this. I hope you enjoy! :D This will also be used in MSL6. You can press Space/click to see other variations. Note: "AU" means "Alternate Universe". This is how I would design Mario. Inspiration: ⭐ The cap is based on the captain's hat from SMO, but I made it red. ⭐ When I do character designs, I almost always give them a sharp jawline, since it's similar to anime. ⭐ There was this artist I found on an art website called VinVinMario. Before the SMB Movie released, they had a picture predicting that Mario would wear a belt in the movie. I also used this for MSL5, too. ⭐ The way Mario's right foot is facing is based on the idle position in SMBW. I used to make it so that both feet were facing the same direction, but the new feet posture is better! ⭐ Mario is wearing running shoes. They're actually Nike shoes, but I replaced the logo with Mario's emblem. I did that because it's similar to Pac-Man's shoes in Pac-Man & the Ghostly Adventures. ⭐ Fire Mario is based on Super Saiyan from Dragonball. That's why Mario has gold hair and gold eyes. ⭐ I love the art in @jaxonmarioman's "The Glitch - Pt. 3½", so I made a similar style of shading for my art. Music- BTS
