Marcus as royal koopa-tanuki hybrid. The've retained their usual colours and markings, as well as their very large fluffy tail, but have taken the overall shape of Bowser Koopa. They have spiked cuffs around their wrists and shoulders, wearing a straw hat that their koopa horns are piking through, have the pale scaly underbelly and a large brown spiny shell on their back. Tie around their left leg is a note pad and they're holding a sake bottle in their left arm They're breathing "fire" but really it's an illusion made of leaves. In the background is interlocking green turtle shell scales

Bowser Day 2020

In my attempts to push through burnout I decided to actually to try and do Bowser Day this year and redraw this piece from 2014

So what’s going on with that fire DO? The implication is that it’s an illusion, something I didn’t really pull off in 2014 honestly, and I think? I pulled it off this time???

Also originally I went with the eye colour for the shell and honestly? I don’t think that works on the original so went with the darker colour I use for Marcus and I think it looks much better.

Final changes? Extra chonk, and hopefully a slightly more dynamic pose to it. That relaxed arm on the old version just, doesn’t fit (pretending to) breathing fire, but I think having it flex a little upwards shows a much more “in charge” pose and much more actively in to it really.

2019 Marcus Reference

Marcus Fukuyama Reference

πŸ”ž Adult Ref under the cut πŸ”ž

This is something I’ve been poking at lately because well the old one is a little doofy on anatomy, and also I’m better at stuff now.

Originally it was a side project, but I’ve been ill this weekend so figured a good time to finish it off (I’ve been well enough to draw but not well enough to work on commissions IMO, I’d rather my own reference take a slight hit in quality than a commissioned piece!) so here it is, Marcus’ new reference πŸ˜€
