You have great hidden strength for one clothed like a plumber.

Upon realizing that the Master had so little-to-no fanart, I felt some major inspiration to draw a lil' something for my favorite superboss in gaming. X3 Largely because Paper Mario is a hugely nostalgic game to me, and often ranks the top of my fave games list, but also because he's a legitimate challenge without being too miserably hard. And just the little build-up "side quest" getting to this fight is just so pleasant to me. I also love the simplistic, yet intricate battle system in the game, which really blooms when you make ample use of the badges. That's when the game really shines in my eyes, when you focus almost exclusively on leveling up your BP and largely omit the HP, and to a lesser extent the FP. Then it really becomes a game of wits rather than brawn. And for those who say he's a cakewalk, try doing the battle without the Zap Tap for a more full experience.

And here's a version sans the text/blur just cause. X3 sta.sh/018y9ww82wim Though I felt the picture benefited from both.
