A Plumber In The Third Dimension V2 - Now With Goomba, and Wallpapers

I never felt like I'd quite finished the Mario portrait I did a couple weeks ago. The background was rushed and I didn't have time to make the bricks change over as they should have. So since it proved to be so popular, I figured it was worth expanding upon a little bit. Here's version two, now with a Goomba:

Update: You can now order a limited run print of this image here.

P.S. Someone asked me for an update on George Bush Super Ultimate Adventure. It's going well, just very slowly. There are a lot of graphics left to build and I have to find spare time to chip away at them. I'm going to keep at it though, there's been a ton of interest in the game so I'm hoping to get something playable out ASAP.

Thanks for the update!!;)
That goomba gives me the creeps!!!
I get the feeling that if you were the art director for a new live action version of a Super Mario Bros. Film, that it would: 1) Rock!, and 2) have an ever so slight Jim Hensen creepy feel (i.e. The Dark Crystal).

I want to see you take on the other characters now!

I like the creepy little Goomba. What is that thing, a mushroom with claws and (sharp) teeth? He's not happy. :( But I like him anyway. :) Glad you're back, Rob, hope you had a good Thanksgiving and ate lots of yummy food!

Ashley :)

Looks realy great, Rob!
There weren't many games i was realy attached to as a kid, but i guess there's just something about Mario that irresistible. This brought back happy and cozy memories.
It never accured to me before, but gomba with one 'o' actually means mushroom in hungarian.
