Description
"Don't you have the common sense to get scared and run away?"Tutankoopa is a fun guy.
I had the hardest time trying to figure out execute this picture, I went through a couple of poses and ideas and just wasn't liking any of them. Finally my friend helped me out by sending me a screenshot and I shamefully used it as reference.
Paper Mario 64 (c) Nintendo
The texture I used is by enframed
Picture reference (c) marvel. I apologize for not using a real stock photo or something more professional.

Really creepy.
I find that Tutankoopa doesn't get enough respect as a Mario baddie. He'd be in league with Bowser himself.

Wait, he's a human?! I actually really like this interpretation. The rings, bands, robes, location and atmosphere really remind me of something else...

What does it really remind you of?

Actually, I'm not sure. It has a very Egyptian vibe (although that's obvious), I guess? When I said "hmm" over and over again, I wasn't actually hinting at something. I was just being weird.
Now that I start to think about it, it actually kind of reminds me of, like, the Yu-Gi-Oh! anime.

I admit it, when I first played this level, the music creeped me out big time. Even now I get shivers if I get a good wave of nostalgia while I'm playing

I absolutely love it! You brought back my childhood and made it real. The details of the symbols are realistic and styled just like they were in the game.

Thank you very much! I'm considering making the Koopa bros.

Tutankoopa was one of my favorite bosses in PM, and now he looks incredibly badass in this style.
I'm actually happy that you didn't use a stock photo, because you'll improve with your own work this way.

Thank you! I always liked how Silly Tutankoopa was, but I couldn't get myself to portray that silliness.
Well, the picture I did use was basically copied from a screen shot, so I didn't really improve any better here then using a stock photo.

Well, the Chomps certainly meant business if you didn't have something like D-Down Pound.
But his magic attacks were silly... particularly when he had a chance of stunning himself.

Those hands are freak'n amazing! And the Chompies are are shiny. I love this. Did you slap a grainy texture on top of it? It looks like copic markers.
