Description
Remember that 90s Super Princess Peach Anime? Me neither. Anyway. . .So this is my attempt to replicate the 90s anime style but I'm pretty sure I missed the mark somewhere //haha. But I thought I'd share it anyway seeing as I did enjoy working on it. I'll try to get some more practice in and perhaps revisit this at a later date.
Also just so you know some bits are supposed to be 'weird' like the blur in parts and colour bleeds. This was also supposed to be a slight screencap re-draw but I decided I didn't like that idea as time went on and just decided to do my own thing . . . whatever that is LOL! But I hope you like it anyway.
In any case I hope you have a lovely day and stay safe! ♥

I like this a lot! ^^ How exactly did u give it this 90s feel?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Thank you 
So in short I decided to look at different anime screencaps from the 80s, 90s, early 2000's and modern anime, many of which I watched when I was a kid, in order to get an idea and feel about what to include and what to avoid. I advise you to do the same because I can only talk about my work process and how you decide to go about this might be different.
In the end for the overall feel I decided to go with something that either looked like it was done on a slight budget, or suffering from low quality due to the way it was taken. This was due to the fact that a lot of websites I used to visit over a decade ago were fansites -- several of which had poorly taken anime screenshots on them (many were actually photographs, or taken when the episode was playing.) The ugly yellow subtitles are also a reference to the early 2000s fansubbing community and in some cases ADV Films (and Funimations subtitles for the 2003 FMA series.)
Early anime especially (and Western cartoons for that matter) could be prone to having blur issues and colour bleed problems (colour outside of the outline) due to the way the animation was produced as they were drawn by hand on Cels. This also meant that the colours could change dramatically when they were filming the Cels, and if a Cel wasn't aligned properly blurring.
Therefore in order to get the same sort of effects I used filters to change the Saturation/Hue, Colour Balance and Brightness/Contrast of the colours I originally put in. For example, on the "flats"/non edited version, Peach's hair colour and her dress actually match her official colours, but here I've purposely made them look off.
In fact this brings me to my next point, things like colour choice, shading, style, outline weight, and the background are entirely dependant on what you want to convey with your art. If you look at the anime for the 90s you have quite the mixture of genre's and styles due to the target audience for example Sailor Moon vs. Gundam, and even Sailor Moon vs. Cardcaptor Sakura, Fushigi Yuugi vs. Dragon Ball. Likewise the colouring/shading on the character either matches the background or it clashes.
I decided to make mine a slight hybrid of styles, focusing more so on semi-realism (mostly on the face propotions/position) and shounen due to many of the 90's screencap art taking inspiration from Sailor Moon. As much as I love seeing them and Sailor Moon, I wanted to do something different.
Finishing effects are also dependant on which direction you want to take your screenshot towards. I've used the noise filter here to make the picture look grainy, slightly softer and of a low quality. Blur should be used sparingly and controlled -- you could use it to show a dip in quality or as depth of field.
You could also use an image/photo editor (I actually used a program called Photoscape in this case.) Some programs allow you to use filters like 'cinema' and 'cross process' to change colour/tone/hue of the art, and bloom to retouch the image. However, each piece of art you produce may require you to change your process due to colours and how the filter changes the art.
Finally the size of the image is entirely up to you and you can find some examples online of what sizes anime was drawn in. Unfortunately I'm blanking on where I found said information but if I remember I'll re-reply to you. The cinema/line bars at the bottom are optional, and could also potentially be positioned to the sides instead of the bottom. This was due to them being made specifically for smaller TVs and not the widescreen ones we have today.
There are actually tutorials floating around on deviantART and Tumblr which show examples and the process a bit better than my long-winded explanation, but I thought it'd be unkind to say "go look at tutorials" when you asked me specifically
One last thing I can say for certain is you'll probably have a lot of layers with overlay/soft light and anything else that you find works for you. So save often and try different things.
Anyway, I hope this was helpful to you if there's anything specific you want further explanation on feel free to ask -- although I apologize for any delays in reply. Also sorry for the essay! I hope you have a lovely day, take care!

And from that day on the Mario games lost their "Suitable for 3+" age rating.
Mario was never allowed to have any dialogue outside of "Wahoo!", "Let's-a-go" and "Yippee!!" alongside random screaming, "gibberish", "approved dialogue" spoken under direct supervision, and sometimes weird grunting (super mario sunshine insp.) for a very long time. Of course everybody else had a pretty good idea what he was saying. Then the fire nation atta---

Thank you . . . I thought that bit would be enlightening considering the double reference (or triple reference seeing as we are all stuck in an endless plot cycle), and I could mention how that proves the point (and how it proves how ridiculous my point was anyway), but I have seen the error of my ways. Oh well, time to take a trip to the procrastination corner as it’s almost my time-share.
Although I do just want to add something else: I still don’t understand why Peach doesn't get a stunt-double or somebody to stand in for her . . . then again I guess nobody would want the job anyway. LOL

true, but c'mon they could add a little more story to it, like 80% more

Oh don't get me wrong I agree with you!
I think the problem lies in the fact that Nintendo wants to keep several of the characters "reusable in different situations" -- mostly Mario, but I think it applies to the others too. So they don't want to . . . "develop" their characters or add extra world building elements too much. Luigi might be the slight exception to this but even he sometimes gets hit by this 'block'. It probably also doesn't help that Bowser only ever has three things in mind, kidnap Peach, rule the world and destroying Mario, so the story/plot "has" to revolve around at least 1 or 2 of these things. Actually, now that I think about it, translation differences might also be a problem to 'story development' too so they keep it 'simple'.
I will say however, that the one's that act more like RPGs do try to build upon the story more -- including Bowser's goals at the time -- especially certain Mario & Luigi titles (I'm picking on them because I've only played the "unpopular" Paper Mario games), but I feel like it won't ever spread to the other ones and/or won't go more in depth. Partly due to Nintendo's stance on their characters/the Mario series, differences in translation, and the fact that there are some gamers who only playing games for the game-play . . . or graphics. Not story. It's a shame really 
(I'd like to be proved wrong Nintendo. . . .)
But anyway I feel like I'm digressing slightly 
(I'm not being sarcastic or condescending about it btw. I'm genuinely curious.)
I'd personally add defensive weapons to her castle (to build upon your security idea) or you know . . . find somebody who can cast powerful magic and place a magical force field around her castle (or find a magical object that can do that) . . . seeing as magic apparently can't affect other magic or magical objects in their world.
PS// Oh yeah. Nintendo also likes keeping the Mario series more on the "Family Friendly" and "Kid Friendly" side. so there's that holding it back too.

i don't count the rpg games for the story (even if they are better).
but it could be something like paper mario 2 or super paper mario.
with a new villain who wants to recreate the dimension in which mario is in.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I think they "stand on their own" like AUs/Other universes, but I like mixing some concepts/info -- although it starts to become a bit messy with some characters.
But yeah, I'd like to see the "main" entries do something like that. To be honest every time they announce a new Mario game I have a small glimmer of hope that it'll bring in another villain into the mix but nope. That seems to be reserved for Mario&Luigi/Paper Mario games tho . . . I mean I slightly got my hopes up with Odyssey because one of the few trailers I saw for a few seconds but then Bowser turned up with Peach. *le sigh*
Anyway . . . Hm . . . perhaps that could use the whole "Chosen"/"Star Children"/"Hero" concept they bring up and/or reference quite a lot. They (the villain) might want to build a world where those 'concepts' don't exist and start 'rewriting' the memories of people to make it happen. Perhaps depending on the person these 'memories' take the form of different things like the power up items -- e.g. mushrooms for the Toads and what not, with stars being reserved for the "main" characters. Certain characters may also be 'forced' into working for the villain due to this rewrite process.
Depending on the extent of their powers (they probably stole something important to enhance their power -- you know the drill) they might also be able to mould the environment or dimension to their liking. They might also be able to steal Mario's "powers" or "power-ups" which depending on the story would affect the others too only allowing them to perform certain actions once they acquired them again. However, Mario is able -- to a certain degree-- be able to return things to their original form with this power increasing in strength as the story progresses.
The villain could be jealous of Mario and the others (including the kingdom itself) whilst also belittling Mario because 'he never finishes off his opponents' and mocks him for it believing that Mario can't defeat them or stop their plans. Perhaps their other reason for carrying out this plan was because their kingdom or homeland is either dying or they were banished from their homeland for something they did or didn't do correctly. Or they're just cruel and want to see whether or not this dimension should exist or has the power to exist. Perhaps they're cleaning up dimensions they see 'unfit'.
--- Anyway, I'm getting far into this now. LOL. sorry for the wall of text
//Also Paper Mario 2 is the "The Thousand-Year Door" one right? I'd like to play that one at some point -- along with the first one. I am playing Super Paper Mario, but I can only play it in short bursts because the colours and movement in it is badly affect me for whatever reason. Then again the graphics are strangely . . . blurry for me.

that's a story nintendo should bring. they are not afraid of changes, but don't use all the potention cause ''as long it's good gameplays, no story is needed''
and yes PM2 is the thousand-year-door. Best paper mario EVER

Hey, sorry for the late response to your comment, you can ignore this reply if you wish seeing as its months old now. I'll understand.
Nintendo has stated that they work on the game mechanics which includes level design to some degree -- sometimes alongside hardware specifications for their consoles/handhelds if it’s a new gaming system -- prior to adding anything else so I guess as a result other areas are sometimes not as polished.
Actually . . . I'm considering writing some stories in that sort of vein we spoke/wrote about before. Mostly because the 'secret' to writing something is apparently 'writing something you yourself want to read', so hopefully that'll work out. Perhaps that's what I'll do for NaNoWriMo this year . . . A big 50,000 word Mario Fanfiction (or several)!
I'll get around to playing it as soon as I can get a copy. Although I'm seriously kicking myself right now because I didn't realize how 'Rare' it is, and a game store I visit had like 3-4 one time and I just put off buying it because it was pretty expensive. I kinda hope that one day Nintendo will release a Mini-GameCube with it on, although if they do it'll probably be the day I get a copy of the game because that's just my luck.

You mean tomorrow right?
I mean I'm pretty sure one (or two of them) of the New Super Mario Bros. games basically hinted at that xD
I do kinda feel that, perhaps, if her loyal subjects were a bit more equipped to defend her it probably wouldn't happen this much. lol.
Poor Peach.

Thanks! I wasn't sure whether to make her eyes bigger tbh, but then noticed that 90s anime tended to be slightly more varied in style/composition. So it didn't actually matter LOL!
