Holy snap. Non-Zelda fanart.

Yes, I enjoy Mario too. I am a Nintendo kid.

This would be part of a project to humanize Bowser and his kids... I'd love to know what people think of the designs, both from Mario fans and from people who either don't like or haven't played Mario games.

This is the eldest child, Ludwig Von Koopa. From what is known of him, he is the most intelligent of his family (moreso than his father even), and he is known to compose symphonies (how good these pieces are is unknown). He is also quite arrogant and cruel, and he seems to be more skilled in combat than his siblings, since he is capable of breathing fire, wields a magic wand more deftly, and is capable of "flutter jumping" better than a Yoshi.

He was the easiest to design in my desired theme, since his high intelligence and love of music would normally suggest a higher level of class. Plus he's my favorite of the group, so that probably had a lot to do with it.

I'm glad you like? XD I should really finish this series. I got hung up on what to make them wear but I think I'd have a lot of fun with it, especially now.

Ludwig looks awesome! He's also tone-deaf, so his music isn't actually that good... yikes!

Ludwig is my favorite Koopa, and I don't know why... the new games need to have the Koopalings more, darnit

Wow... I just looked at all three of your koopa kid pics... these are awesome! I especially like Ludwig (Cause he's my favorite koopa kid and your design makes him look hot.) and Wendy, she looks like a spoiled brat in classy sort of way. Lemmy is super adorable! You should do the rest of the koopa clan, I'd love to see your take on Bowser.

I shall do that, I hope to resume the series someday... I may even draw updated versions of these three since my art style has evolved since I first drew them. If I draw more, I'll be sure to let you know.

Looking at this gives me ideas for stories about Ludwig being the heir to the throne.
They very from a war breaking out to him going balls with other Nintendo royalty.
It's so cool!

Hehe. That's a really interesting idea! I'm glad this picture could aid in it somehow.



I actually had an interesting (by which I mean odd) story in mind where the whole family (Bowser, the Koopalings, and Bowser JR.) became human and ended up staying with Peach and co. until they fixed things...

And during a ball, Ludwig shares a dance with Peach... and is cleverly underhanded and leads her down a subtle guilt trip about Bowser's affections for her. Ludwig I can easily see as being one to use his classy nature and intelligence to his advantage in villainy... or general antagonism at least. He was always my favorite, lol.


For the Mario fan that I am, I have not written such stories because I have no idea how I'd write them. XD; or draw them. I do not think I could do the series justice.

Hey that's neat too, and same here. I already started some stories.(All of them involve Ludwig somehow)Though, I had to delete them all because my sister wanted her computer back, but now I have my own computer. I also bought a note book so I could write notes about stories I don't know how to start. I hate forgetting good story ideas.

I think I can tell you who's taking over the throne when daddy dies...and I'm sure Bowser Jr. is going to "move away". >_>

TaiOshiro In reply to SephirothCrystal [2010-01-06 23:32:26 +0000 UTC]

Yeah, Ludwig was Bowser's lead man in the past, though Bowser Jr. seems to have taken is place. However, since Bowser Jr. is the youngest, I can easily see the reason being the fact that Bowser's trying to keep an eye on him (since the Koopalings can pretty much keep an eye on themselves now) as well as teach him to be a proper leader for the minions.

I dunno, I like Jr. And they all seem to get along pretty well, following what happened in New Super Mario Bros. Wii. The Koopalings focused on ruling their individual areas as well as fighting Mario, and Bowser Jr. focused on getting Peach to Bowser (except for a few times where the airship left without him).

Indeed it is. It's fun, yet challenging. I still need to go back through and gather all the coins so I can unlock all of the stages in the 9th World. I've gotten a lot of them, but I've only gotten all of them in the 1st world.

Amazing work on Ludwig von, here. I can definitely picture him in that sort of outfit.

Thank you. ^^ Yeah, that's part of what made him so easy to draw methinks. I dunno, maybe it's the Beethoven connection.
