Mushroom Kingdom Comics! and other art by Hint Toad

Here's mostly all the art I made for the Randomizer Killing Game I was apart of. I only survived one night, but I had lots of fun role playing and causing havoc through out the night! Sparks as Ange Lackey ended up killing me in the second round so I didn't get the chance to finish my side story of finding Power Moons. You can see a very familiar looking painting in the picture of Hint Toad's suite.

I also made a special comic for when I died.

I opened the 'Shroom and read my comic and...... there was a spelling error I forgot to fix. So here's a fixed version:

Iv'e finally settled on my preferred medium for drawing these comics. The first two comics were drawn with a pencil so they had to be heavily touched up on my computer. The third and fourth comics were drawn with a Micron pen but I didn't like the thickness, so I used a thinner micron pen on this one.

I can't wait for the next issue!! I had a space themed comic prepared for the April 2026 'Shroom issue, so I thought I might insert that one to this next coming issue as a bonus comic.
 
Issue #6 – December 2025

Merry Christmas everyone! In the latest 'Shroom issue Super Koopa makes his return from Issue #2! And what's this!? A bonus comic!? The bonus comic here is inspired by a YouTube video I watched explaining the gravity physics in Super Mario Galaxy. I thought it would be funny for Rosalina to have god-like knowledge about the game's code.
 
I've been using a Micron felt pen to draw my Mario comics for the 'Shroom and have been itching to try out my dip pen. So here's a test run of some Mario characters. I think they turned out nice!
Below we have Stingby, Para-biddybud, Piranha Plant, Hint Toad, Uncle Amiibo and Luma.

I'm very comfortable with this pen. I've been using it for like 2-3 years with my other comic strip. The lines are cleaner than the Micron felt pen, and it gives me more range with the thickness. (You can compare the Luma with the comic above.)

What do you guys think? Should I start using this pen for my 'Shroom section?


Side note: Updated my Stingby design from this post. I can't believe I left out his big eyes!

I think both are great but if you feel more comfortable using this pen then go for it!

Drawing with my dip pen is a whole ordeal. You gotta draw on thick paper so that it doesn't bleed and you have to constantly dip the nib in an ink bottle. With the felt pen I can just straight up draw in my sketch book. So it's basically a trade off of cleaner art verses quicker methods. The style of my 'Shroom section comics have a slightly messy look anyway. (Wavy panels, water-color style coloring). Which I thought the Micron felt pen would be perfect for. So I dunno. I'll try a messy-style comic with my dip pen to see how it looks.
 
Issue #7 – January 2026
I'm excited to have started my first year writing for the 'Shroom! This month's comic is inspired by Super Mario Bros. 2 and features Blue Toad and Phantos! I tried to capture my frustration of being stuck at this section of the game, and then remembering about the crouch jump.

2025 Wrap-Up!​

Now I'd like to share some art from this past year that have not yet been posted in this thread. So enjoy!

The Randomizer Killing game finale was a success! Even though I died in night 2, My trusty companion Uncle Amiibo survived 'till the end thanks to @Cloudwalker for drawing that ability. So I made a comic to finish up the story.

Here's an art piece of everyone in the Randomizer Killing Game in Paper Mario style. It's a reference to Bobby from Paper Mario: Origami King. If you know, you know. Sadly, I didn't save the file that had all the layers in it. It would have been a pain to recreate it so I update it for every time someone had died.

A few more characters I did in Paper Mario style:

I had fun handing out Scripulous Fingores to people who found all the ghosts in the ghost scavenger hunt! Here's all the ones I drew. Can you guess who got them?

Boy is it hard to draw hands!

On the subject of the scavenger hunt, when I submitted my ghost I sent a picture with it. It's a Hint Toad version of Mummy-Me from Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker! It wasn't one of the ghosts you could choose from so thanks @Commander Nebula (WT) for letting me do that!

Now for @Boo1268's D&D-type game, my first game I was apart of on this forum! Made some pictures of my OC, Blobby the Blobs!
Here's all the variations of him I made:

And last but not least, an animated sprite of Nachi (@Cloudwalker's OC)

That's a wrap for 2025! What do you guys wanna see in Mushroom Kingdom Comics this year?

Been a while since I posted here. Went on a trip to SF. Visited the Nintendo store. Also went to the Schultz museum which was super cool! Got to see some original comic strips!!! Any way, here's the latest issue of Mushroom Kingdom Comics posted in March.
Issue #9 - March 2026

Let's see... Oh yeah. Made an PM:TTYD version of Rock Paper Wizard (Left) for Rogues in Rogueport 2. I always die early on in these games so I thought, why not just make the craziest roleplay I could possibly think of.

And then of course there's Super Rock Paper Wizard. Which is just Master Hand from smash with Rock Paper Wizard slapped onto it.

More recently I made bunch of art for Hint Toad's Scavenger Hunt. I made 7 authentic looking Hint Arts that have real locations in Super Mario Odyssey. You can check them out here.
 
Welp! Another month, another `Shroom! Thanks for voting for Mushroom Kingdom Comics! last month!

In this month's comic we see Bowser showing his intellect. Or his lack of it. I always pictured Bowser having a hot temper while being on the dumber side. Maybe it's from all the Mario fan fiction I read as a kid. I dunno... I like dumb villains.

Time to gear up for next month! We've got some cool stuff prepared! Maybe even a bonus comic for the occasion.... Might even see some new faces as well as some old ones. We'll have to wait and see!

I've been kind of neglecting this thread for a while. And in return, lots of art has accumulated! As always, thanks for voting for Mushroom Kingdom Comics!. I'm really glad you guys are enjoying it! We're coming up on the first anniversary of the strip next month! Stay tuned for a special issue!!

Here's the most recent comics from the past couple of months!

This comic's punchline was inspired by lethal lava land. When I was first coming up with it, I had only written the first three panels and hadn't come up with the punch line. I believe the punchline finally came to me after a day. It's interesting how that happens. Sometimes I come up with a great punchline first and then fill in the previous panels. Other times I let the punchline write itself. I think the latter feels more natural.

I have a pretty big back log of comics so most of the ones you see are drawn months before they get released. This one however, was drawn specifically for the special issue, to celebrate Lakituthequicks's 100th issue as web manager. I enjoyed coming up with a design for Angry Sun. I think he fits quite well. This is also the third comic with Super Koopa in it. I love continuing this character's story. I wonder if he'll ever be able to fly again.


MushroomKindomComicsIssue12.png
This one is an older comic, I think drawn in December 2025. (I should really date these.) Anyway, the original comic didn't have any other toads in the classroom, they were added later digitally. It also took me several tries to draw Peach in the last panel. I'm not the best at drawing people.



Cloud gazing
When it came time for some cloud gazing, I tried taking a picture of the most aesthetically pleasing cloud ever, but when I looked at the picture after it was taken, there was this photobombing Lakitu! oh well...

'Shroom Issue 230's Banner
I had the privilege of making the banner for the `Shroom's 230 Issue! And not just one, but two versions! Actually, I created the day version first without knowing that I was going to make a night one.

Here's an origanl piece I made! It features every original enemy from Super Mario Bros, and in their original style! My favorite's the Buzzy Beetle! I really want to put this on a custom shirt or something!

Also, here's Bowser just for funsies!
