The Original Twelve Smash Brothers

Description

This is somewhat of a throwback for me. However, it's not because it's Smash 64. It's because I drew a similar picture, way back when the first Brawl trailer was released, of all of the characters that were confirmed so far. I was real proud of that one. Unfortunately, I have no idea where the original copy is and I can't access it online where I uploaded it because SheezyArt is a piece of dog shit. Yeah, that's how long ago it was - when SheezyArt was a thing! I know my closest friends who have stuck by me will probably remember seeing it and hopefully they'll be able to tell that I've improved so much since then. At least, I think so?

I drew this in pen and crosshatching looks cool with that. Kind of a funny story. My girlfriend, Amanda, heard me saying that this is the best Mario head I've ever drawn and I fuck it up with a not so awesome hand. She assumed that I was a sane person who draws using pencil and asked me why couldn't I just erase it. To that I replied, I draw in pen. At least, pretty often. It just feels smoother, I don't know. I mentioned how if I made a mistake, I'd just have to make-do with what I have but that can be avoided if I just don't make a mistake to begin with so it further encourages me to just do it right the first time. Drawing on hardcore mode. Yeah, I'm stupid.

I'm really satisfied with the Mario and Link that I drew. After those two + Kirby and Pikachu, I didn't really have an idea of where I'd place everyone except Captain Falcon. So as for everyone else... I definitely feel like I could've done it better if I planned it out more instead of just improv with pen. You thought Ridley was too big?! I drew Samus too big! I wanted the secret characters at the top and in the back but I totally slapped my forehead when I lost my mind and put Jiggs in the bottom left. Luigi and Ness are easily the worst, which is sad cause I love those characters a lot. My hand started to hurt about halfway through. Though, I stuck it out for Captain Falcon cause it's Captain Falcon, the most electrifying man in fighting game entertainment. I had to do him justice. Just like his knee.

Maybe I'll do it over digitally and do it right.
