Who knew Mario could be so intense?
This fanart is so powerful that it seems to have crushed the Warp Pipe forums under the weight of its own pile of Diggs. We can understand why-- we've certainly been enjoying staring at it for a few hours.
The full image is after the break, but even in the detail shown above, you can see the insane shading and dynamic movement that make Neo-Geo Forums user hermegildo's drawing so compelling. Faced with a dead Peach and a slavering, hulking Bowser, the usually-jovial Mario abandons his "Okey-dokey"s and flies into battle, fireballs blazing. It completely, awesomely rejects the mood of the Mario series.
[Thanks, Jason!]

Is that Giga Bowser? If so, that's some fine work.
Simply amazing.

@bender, even if it isnt giga, thats the best non-mario atmosphere picture i have ever seen in my entrie life. i am forever shocked...

Put a soccerball somewhere in that picture, and that would just be another piece of Strikers boxart
still a good picture, though

Meh, nothing special.

They should make Giga Bowser his permanent form. It's way cooler. But it might be too close to beast-Ganon.
