Look at it! Look at it! LOOK AT IT!

Is that a low polygon model of Bowser from Melee?
 
Level of detail model to increase optimization yes.

His left foot in the second picture looks like it's bent forward and twisted.
Pose is fine to me. The illustration conveys exaggerated motion, perhaps, and that just makes it more lively to me.

I think so too, but that one has already been posted here, I think.
Actually, I had posted that one, as well as Bowser's one, Yoshi's one and a few other on post #952, but they hardly get old anyway.
 
Looks like it was half-finished, judging by the texture quality of the legs and the eyestalks
