So, when I say this is from scratch... well I mean just that! You might recognize Mario on the front there as the image from Mario Party DS, link but a little different. All of the characters have been re-rendered in Illustrator by me. Because of the length of time it took to do so, I've decided at the moment not to do the back. Maybe in the future. Hope you all enjoy!
An admirable effort, making the art yourself and all. Come on guys, let's get this in the Hall. This guy often gets overlooked and he's one of the better artists of recent times.
#4, Completely agreed. The sheer creativity of his recent boxes is more than enough qualified for the HoF. Perhaps a better posting time? That or people just don't appreciate creative retro boxes anymore - which is sad really.
As for the box, what can I say? It's amazing! A near perfect illustrator work, just a bit of choppiness on the bottom left checkered tiles. Easy fix. Keep 'em coming. ;)
Box of the moment, eh? Oh my! I'm truly honored. I posted this right before I left to pick up my wife and BAM! ...all these posts. I thank you all very much for the kind words ans support. You all have put quite a smile on my face!
#7: I do post at weird times. I even think to myself, "hmm I should wait and post this tomorrow afternoon." Then I go ahead and post right then anyway because I am too excited. /shrug
#5: I sure can. I colored them in photoshop so the .ai is just the linework... send me a PM and we'll get that sent out.
Excellent box mate... great work on creating the characters etc. from scratch. There are a few niggles... like repetitive look of the many Toads.. and positioning of characters could be better -- but superbly done :)
Many thanks ladies and sirs! Amazingly, this has become my "most favorited" box; and it's actually the only box I've done without a back! I'm glad that the reception on this one was this great. Thank you all again and I'm glad you enjoyed this one!
Ah you have the instruction booklet, or am i wrong? I really must learn to read all the posts! Anyway, awesome work as usual mate, you blow me further and further away each time!
#28: Thank you sir. Yeah, the Koopa kids are images from the booklet that I imported into illustrator and enlarged quite a bit. Then I simply used a stylus and tablet to vector draw all the characters... then back into photoshop to color them. ^_^
Wow! Thanks guys for all the new comments and favs on this one! Gives me hope for a future masterwork! Who knows, I may finally get around to creating a back for this one.

This is very impressive. Even though you made it yourself, that's actually one of the better Mario renders I've seen.
