A while ago, one of the artists that I watch, Mackie85 had posted a new lineart that immediately caught my eye.
This was the lineart: Peach Princess Lineart
A pinup of Princess Peach. I immediately wanted to color it, but I couldn’t get to it right away because I had coloring commissions that needed to be done.
By the time I was ready to do this one, Mackie85 had already done his own colored version of the picture: Princess Peach.
I liked it but in doing my own, I wanted to do things differently. So, I did use the colors he used as a guide but I went in a different direction as far as shading as well as a background. Such as what I wanted to do for the background was do a small nod to the original, the first Super Mario Bros game, where Mario comes in and rescues Peach. So, using that, I laid down the grid work for the bricks that many of us are familiar with when it comes to World 8. And using a pixelated font, I threw in those lines in the background that many of us had seen Peach speak: "Thank you, Mario! Your quest is over.“ How many of us were cheering when we finally beat the game?
Anyway, I left the top bricks the same but the bottom, I wanted there to be a sense of depth to her rather than her just sitting in an empty space with the 8-bit background behind her. If that makes sense.
Hope you all like this.
