No problem, I do what I can. And sorry about misspelling 'color' (dolor.)..

Is that Peach? Shouldn't she be in another castle?

Totally. I don't think I was ever as absorbed in a video game as the original Mario.

Niiice, I really like your art style, and how the characters look in it. 
I also like how you gave Bowser his original "big nostrols," like he had on the original SMB boxart in Japan, and in the old Mario cartoons. Your coloring is also very professional looking, and I like the glow effects from the lava.
The original Super Mario Bros. is one of my first video games, and one of the few games I never get tired of playing on occasion.

Thanks! I love the original as well; back in the day, I would challenge myself to rescue the princess without dying, and without using a warp zone. My skills have declined since then, but I can still put the hurt on Bowser if I stretch out ahead of time.

Yeah, I used to make challenges for myself to like that with the game.
Even though I don't play the game constantly, I'm still pretty good at it to. (I can even beat "SMB: Lost Levels" without getting a "Game Over" now.)
I'm not as insanely good as some people on Youtube though, you should check out some of these Mario players. One guy I saw can do the "wall jump" glitch perfectly everytime he jumps into a wall, and that is very hard for me to pull off personally.

Yeah, I saw a video of some kid beating NES Mario 3 in, like, four and a half minutes. Every move was flawless; it was pretty amazing. b Here, I just googled it: [link]

Actually, that's 11 minutes, but still very impressive. 
I like to speed run some levels in the Mario games. Though, personally, I prefer taking my time to enjoy the game. (And get the power-up items.) Hehe

This seems to be a scene from the 1st SMB. Great work.

Oh yeah, this is definitely the end of 8-4 on the original game (with a few liberties).

No need to thank, your art IS E-P-I-C!!!!

I. Love this. You have perfectly captured the essence of this fight. I like how you managed to get Peach in there too. Your use of perspective is spot on, you really nailed it. The only thing I can see that could be improved here is in more shading. You can never have too much value and contrast in a piece lit by lava. Heavy, dark shadows to accent bowser's menace I think will help make the whole piece pop more. But it's fantastic, awesome job.

Excellent, the Bowser battle theme from Mario 64 is straight into my mind. Brilliantly done, it looks amazing.

I had the original in mind, but I definitely borrowed from a lot of different mario games, and the n64 version was one of the best.

I can see the references to the original. Seriously, who puts a bridge-destroying axe in their battle arena?
