Another awesome picture!
you wake pretty early 'cause it says that you posted this at 6 am and I just woke up and it's 10:02 am.

That is RAD Rob. You can't beat the original beauty that is pixelation though. :)
Rob, this is pretty amazing. You managed to make an ugly, squat, orange little man look amazing! I like his nose--that's a big nose. :) You should do a day where you put up a few rough sketches, without the color, and post them. I know you did it for this, but just a random proliferation of sketches would be cool. I don't know, you're the artist here... Anyway, wonderful, as usual, take it easy,
Ashley :)
WOW! Nice work!

Extreme neatness.
Nice disturbing pic of an old withered Mario. So you anticipating Mario Galaxy as well?
Very nice indeed.
Hahahaha! Fantastic!! You should have done the bricks too though!!!
Ooh! Fo shizzle in the wizzle!...sorry. I just felt like saying that.
Very, VERY cool, Rob! I love the modern interpretation of an old, *pixelated* classic...you should do more of the same type. Pac man, perhaps? :D
