Expecting art? TOO BAD. WALUIGI TIME. (Waluigi Time's art thread)

[Waluigi Time]

Well this is still daily at the moment I guess! Shifting from Shmaluigi characters for the moment, here's Spooks Booley, the writer of Diggin' Up Dirt. I've had him sketched out for a while but never took the time to draw him properly until now. You'd trust this guy to be an accurate and ethical journalist... right?

Now that Investigations 4 has wrapped I guess I should post my art for it. I got to play this time! I ended up making more sprites for Shmaisy than I actually ended up using, but eh, I wanted to have my bases covered.

Spoiler: Shmaisy

Shmaisy originally appeared in issues 196-198 of Shmaluigi, Private Investigator, but I wasn't really sure how many of the players actually read that so I figured I'd do a little catchup post recapping her story arc so far, so it didn't seem like she was just popping out of nowhere. Visuals are fun so I made some Scribble-style drawings for key points in the story.

Spoiler: Recap

And the final set of Viola sprites (real?) for Pitohui.

Hey I drew things again! Haven't had as much time to work on these but I still want to keep up drawing at least once weekly, so here I am doing it last minute. Today's character is a member of Shmaluigi's rogues gallery, The Blizzman from issues 189 and 200! Unfortunately he's stuck with just one arm, he'd love to be tipping his hat right now...

Would it make sense with the world's logic for him to have another, invisible hand? VeggieTales style or somethin'. Obviously he's a Mr. Blizzard, which historically only HAVE one, but I just think it'd be nice and ironic.

If Goombas can use baseball bats I think anything goes!

I'm here for a bit of help. I need to see the comics from "TOO BAD WALUIGI TIME" (The BITF book made after the comics ended in 2014) but I don't have any money to get the comics. DO you have anyone who could help me find the comics for free (Without being dubbed)

 

[Waluigi Time]

Can't help you there, sorry. Also, this is just a thread where I post my own art, so this isn't really the place to ask that.

Anyway, back to our regularly scheduled content! Scribble Labs is basically wrapped up so it's time for posting those.

Spoiler: Round 1: Shared Palette

Round 1: Koopas
"So Cool"

Yeah, this now iconic quote came to mind pretty much immediately with the prompt, so I got to work drawing a bunch of different Koopas fleeing from a gigantic ominous Chris Pratt looming over the horizon. Lulu's hot pink color was a nice one to get since it let me spice up the coloration without having too much contrast. Unfortunately the 2 hour time limit was not kind to me on this one even though I started drawing immediately, so I didn't get to polish up the Koopas besides the Troopa and Bowser.

Spoiler: Round 2: Speedy Scribble

Round 2: Bombs
"Wario Wares"

Another pretty much immediate idea which was good because I only had 20 minutes to do this! So here's Wario spoofing Morshu from whatever that Zelda CD-i game he's in was. I originally considered even having him dressed up like Morshu, but decided to just go with mimicking the pose. If this wasn't a time crunch round I probably would've done an actual shop background. Despite the time limit I think this ended up about on par with my 2021 scribbles, at least. Hooray for gradual improvement!

Spoiler: Round 3: Complete the Scribble

Round 3
"Telepathy Guy"

The original linework that I got felt like it was leaning very hard in a Boo direction, so I specifically decided not to do that! When I tried to come up with other interpretations, it kind of looked like a character throwing something which developed into the slightly different direction of a demonstration of telekinesis at a magic show. It's a lot different from my usual style to match TPG's thicker lines in the original image.

Spoiler: Round 4: Three Colors

Round 4: A Meal with Mother
"Starlight Park"

Legitimately my favorite scribble that I've done so far, Tiki Tong has been dethroned! This one was tricky to come up with a concept for, and I ran through a few ideas like the mothers of different characters (Wario came to mind, of course), actual mom characters from the series, and even an Earthbound gag. Eventually I just settled on good old Rosalina, and ended up drawing her for the first time ever. Obviously I needed a comedy element to really shine here so I came up with the idea of her feeding the Lumas like birds in a park and tossing Star Bits on the ground. Also, I originally had a completely different test palette that included my usual grape color, a darker purple, and light blue, but that got pretty much binned for a more spacey palette that would fit the Rosalina idea.

My favorite detail about this particular round is that all the prompts were titles of previous scribbles, and this one actually came from a scribble that Rose submitted in a matchup we had back in 2022! So it was neat to already have some connection here.

Spoiler: Round 5: Color Swap

Round 5: HOMEWORK SUCKS!! I HATE HOMEWORK!!! RAAAHHHHH
"School Daydreams"

Kind of self-explanatory from the prompt, really. If anyone in the Mario series would have beef with homework, it's probably Bowser Jr., so here he is daydreaming about an older version of himself being able to rip it to shreds in dramatic fashions while a disgruntled Kamek watches. Also, a sneaky Chain Chomp is eating some of it... I really like how Jr.'s fantasy turned out with the pencily look, experimenting with art styles now and then is pretty fun. I enjoyed using Steamlined's blue here, it's a very nice color!

...What? Weekly character drawings? Never heard of it.
