I had this idea for awhile..finally got around to finishing it.

In Mario Party 3, Piranha Plants invade Luigi\'s Island. Waluigi planted Piranha seeds without Luigi\'s knowledge. So when they grew, Luigi ran away..heh. This allowed the Plants to destroy everything, and help build Waluigi\'s Island. Why Waluigi needed a tank, I\'ll never know.

But I was thinking..that hey, Waluigi\'s got all these Piranha Plant underlings. And I had just watched a Simpsons ep with Fat Tony in it..

And since some folks think of me as Waluigi (believe me, I have no problem with that one), I decided to make \'myself\' a crime boss! Woot. So here\'s \'me\', and my loyal Piranha Plant Mafia.



Comments and crits are accepted, as always.

The picture is mostly well done and I like the piranna plants

Stuff that could change...
- His sleeves seem too thin, especially around the elbows. Waluigi is skinny and \'long\' but I think the sleeves could stand to be wider (pant are fine).
- Inconsistent foliage? The large plant has leaves similar to a holly plant but the other ones have leaves that don\'t match up... I\'m assuming there\'s more than one species (hence the yellow petals around the big one) but the leaves shouldn\'t differ that much between plants.
- I think the green thing under the bottom right plant\'s head (not holding the tommy gun) is a leaf since it\'s green, but it doesn\'t look very leafy otherwise. Probably needs a little bit more detail or something.
- I\'m not used to seeing Waluigi without a hat (I didn\'t know he was blonde ). The blue under his eyes seems too bright. I think it would look better if it was darkened more

Stuff I like
- The background. Looks like a lot of hard work put into shading each red... \'head\' and drawing the white dots. The green background behind the \'heads\' also gives a feeling of leafy underbrush.
- Mafia theme. Hahaha, the tommy gun has a smiley face on it and all the plants are wearing suits. Very nice.
- Shading and colouring. The lines on the the lips and Waluigi\'s shadow on the tommy gun wielding plant are very nice details. A subtle 3D touch.
- Text. Mario font, exquisitely duplicated.
- Overall. I really like the whole thing. It\'s really :cool: .

Supertastic.

That\'s a really well done picture. Good job. That\'s kind of a funny theme if you ask me. Next we\'ll be seeing Waluigi in a remake of The Godfather.

Piranha plant mafia, god thats a awesome idea for a game..
Part I like most: The plants, I love those lil buggers in this.
Part I don\'t like so much: Waluigi\'s arms look a lil odd, though might just be me.

He aint blonde. He\'s got orangey light brown hair..it\'s hard to get right, not dull brown like the Mario\'s. Petey\'s leaves are taken straight from Nintendo\'s art. The other plants are my doing. And hmm..yeah, I think the arms are alittle long. o.o Or maybe not.. Waluigi..err..I, confuse me. I still don\'t think I draw his legs skinny enough..

Remake of The Godfather, eh? Now that\'d be a movie I could watch. Thanks all.

Post redacted

Oh good lord, why are you looking THERE, Wind? :rofl: I didn\'t mean to do that..but oh well. Maybe it stems from someone at GameFAQs saying something about Nintendo characters....err well, maybe I\'ll shut up while I\'m ahead.

Damn thats an awsome picture but Winds right. It looks like hes been taking viagra or something:lol:

I can\'t complain. It\'s pure genious. I really love the Pirahna Plants.
It\'s really hard to tell that\'s Waluigi. Even with the distinct facial features, I\'m just used to his ordinary outfit.

Thank you, Heatman. =) You can\'t tell it\'s Waluigi, though..? o.o Maybe I should\'ve made his suit purple. I was going to do that..but I wanted a more \'accurate\' mafia look.

At first glance, I confused him with Wario. Then I realized it.

Oh and Wind, you notcied the crotch thing too?

I really feel like quoting Bert here

Sorry for the confusion, Hollow. I can tell who he is, I just mean he looks like an entirely different skin. Kind of like Voldo\'s first and third skins in SCII comparitive.

Ah, okay Heatman. Well, I know I drew his ears wrong.. *cough* But I guess my style makes him look alot different than Nintendo\'s Waluigi. =)

And for the folks that are perverts, I have consulted with some artist friends of mine, and they said there\'s no umm..\'bulge\'. Your eyes are tricking you, making the lineart look like shading, since the blueness surrounding is so dark. So yeah, get your damn minds outta the gutter. =P

My main criticque is that Waliugi\'s ears look like he belongs in the Zelda series, and hands look a little.. small.. Im sure Mario characters have huge hands... oh wait.. thats Zero im thinking of..

Other than that, I love it! Great work!
I think you got Waluigi\'s dumn proportions correct. He looks tall enough.

Nice work!!

(about the crotch thing - I never noticed anything untill I looked at the other comments.... even then it doesn\'t even LOOK like what their suggesting... Dunno tho.. meh... weirdos.. :sick: )

[Edited on 30-3-2004 by ACE_Spark]

Yes..the ears look like one of Necro\'s characters\' ears.. I had forgotten Waluigi\'s flute out at the top and are bigger at the bottom. I\'ll remember that for next time though. =)

And well, Mario characters have huge hands sometimes..with the gloves on especially. But not as big as Zero\'s, no. And yes, they are weirdos..ah well.

Thank you very much. =)

I actually wanted to comment on this picture a long time ago, but never found the time. Most of my commests have allready been posted... so I don\'t have much to add....

You\'ve done a great colouring job! I have to say it\'s to bad Waluigi is so... disproportionate... aslo, the piranaplant holding the tommy-gun is not holding the trigger.. at all, I mean it really disrups my vew of the whole picture... But a good picture none the less

[Edited on 2-4-2004 by Snakeman.EXE]

Sweet! Good job Hollow! I absolutly adore Waluigi as well as every other Mario character. Even the Piranha Plants look snazy! I love the one holding the Tommy Gun. :devil: I give it 10/10!

He\'s uh, not supposed to be holding the trigger. He\'s got his leaves on the two handles. Not planning to shoot anything..just smiling for the camera. And yeah, I think I drew Waluigi\'s arms too long.. But hopefully I\'ll do better in the Easter picture.

Yeah, I like the Mario series too, heh. I WAS going to go as far as doing individual bios for the Pirahna Plants (the one with only one spot is named Uno), but...I dunno, might be too crazy.

Anyways, thanks again, all who I did not thank before. =)

The fact that you managed to make a Plant look Mafia like scares me...

But god that\'s good!
You even got the blue eyeshadow right, perfect.

10/10

Blue eyeshadow... Cute. I think they\'re bags under the eyes though..ya know, the things people get when they\'re really tired? I\'ve got them, but mine are purple!

Thank you, BlueSilver. =)
