Description Haha, my inspiration for vector art came back suddenly! And look what we have here! Super Paper Mario fanart. Hey, you all knew it was coming...

This is Count Bleck and his trusted assistant, Nastasia. The border is supposed to resemble the Dark Prognosticus, which is the ancient book of prophecies that the count keeps with him at all times. It contains all manner of horrible tales of future events, with its main focus being the impending destruction of all worlds, which seems destined to be carried out by Count Bleck himself. The count uses his fearful book as a guide, but there's also the Light Prognosticus, written to combat the dark forces of its rival book. It tells what the chosen heroes can do to save the universe.

I really, really, really like Count Bleck. Play the game and you'll see that he's more than just another crazy villain who just up and decided to destroy the world. No, there's much more to his character, and I really want to keep talking about him, but I don't want to spoil anything... Nastasia is interesting too. She has super-hypnosis powers, and is the epitome of loyalty and devotion to the count, but is not always sure that his path is correct, and even tries to turn him off it at times...

And I haven't even beaten the game yet, so who knows what surprises these characters still may hold...

Oh, and the inside of Count Bleck's cape is basically just like a hole that leads off into space... really awesome... and I decided to try something a bit new with that, obviously. I felt that to capture the majesty and beauty of space, I should use an actual picture... so thanks, Hubble Space Telescope! And thanks to this site for the free image: [link]

Man! I finished two whole artworks today! (Well technically it's now three in the morning and not the same day anymore, but... I still consider it the same day XD) I'm on a roll! INSPIRED!

Holy crap! You've got vectoring skills, PJ! This looks very professional! The shading and gradients all look so cool. ^^ Awesome work!

I still have to play Super Paper Mario. D: Count Bleck looks like such an awesome villain.

You should be very confident in your abilities after this! This has such a clean, design-oriented feel to it...I haven't picked up the new Paper Mario yet, but I certainly will after reading your thoughts on the new villian.
