[@tidskits4318]

I love this Mario series so much!! I got a few ideas for you. How about the Koopalings? You can change Ludwig’s hair into a frill, make Morton’s star-eye have a scar instead, and instead of making Roy pink just “because he’s pink” he could be albino. Anyway, if you don’t see this or have the time to do it, those are just my thoughts. Keep up the amazing work!!

[@adammorris9008]

The ball bearings in the beginning really give Wario that watching-you-from-whichever-angle vibe.

[@sadiesaurus54]

these are so great! I was going to suggest doing peach and daisy, but because of weird, misogynistic notions in animation, they have basically the same face and clothes so there's not much point :/

[@jettvalen7326]

I think they'd be great myself, but the same face? Misogynistic notions? I don't know where you got those statements from. I feel like there are plenty between Peach and Daisy that would set them apart, like Peach's slender figure and reserved tone compared to Daisy's more strong girl sporting nature. Not to mention it would be interesting to see him do a sculpt for characters that would require less exaggeration and more nuance, y'know?

[@sadiesaurus54]

@@jettvalen7326 ok I went and looked them up and you're right, they do have fairly different faces. I didn't really see it until I saw them next to each other. So in this case, I was wrong. The phenomenon in general is known as "same face syndrome". A prime example is frozen's Elsa and Anna, tangled's Rapunzel, and big hero 6's honey lemon all have almost identical faces. Men's faces in those movies are widely varied and expressive, in comparison. It's misogyny IMO because it comes from the idea that women always have to be pretty, so they focus so much on drawing them pretty that they end up with no distinctive features. Either way, I would love to see Adam sculpt them, he has a gift for breathing life (sometimes horrifyingly lol) into these realistic adaptations and I love that
