    Yeah! Cute and silly. I have my moments.
    • Kenelm, on 11/13/2007, -1/+72Blogspam just took a whole new dimension...
      • ngunji, on 11/14/2007, -14/+2Sorry. I didn't mean to blogspam or anything.

          "Hey I just saw this pic on Digg so I posted it on my blog in a sad attempt to route traffic from the Digg article to my page instead. Please read my blog for the love of god!"
    • DollaDollaBill, on 11/13/2007, -1/+31Holy *****, digg has turned to myspace.
    • jaynemother, on 11/13/2007, -0/+16Wow, after I read your blog I might visit http://digg.com/
    • JT114881, on 11/13/2007, -0/+18ITS A TRAP!
    • Kronos43, on 11/13/2007, -0/+9No, you don't have your moments.
    • mikesbaker, on 11/13/2007, -1/+1im in ur diggz buring your commentz
  • dagooh, on 11/13/2007, -5/+15That's amazing!
    I'm really jealous though, everyone gets to play SMG today and I don't even have a Wii, sometimes I hate this Nintendo forsaken country I'm at.
    • imikedaman, on 11/13/2007, -0/+4It comes out tomorrow at all the stores around here. (Maryland)
    • isunktheship, on 11/13/2007, -2/+1sorry not sure what country you're referencing.. little help?
      • dagooh, on 11/13/2007, -0/+4I'm in Argentina.
        Since the N64 days we don't have a official Nintendo seller, we have to import the consoles or buy them at ludicrous prices from shady resellers : (
        • idslite, on 11/13/2007, -3/+2Yeah, that sucks. But I don't have a Wii either :( I'm too broke (damn car and credit card!) lol but hopefully my buddy will give me a good deal on his Wii (he wants to sell me his system/games). But that won't be until after Christmas (2007 this year) :( so sad but oh well. At least then I'll be ready for when Super Smash Bros. Brawl (hopefully) comes out in November! lol
          • Protoss, on 11/13/2007, -1/+2uhh SSBB in November (the current month)? You missed the news that it was delayed eh?
      • themastersb, on 11/13/2007, -0/+6I thought he lives in the land of broken pixels.
    • ButchersBoy, on 11/13/2007, -0/+1Move.
  • seeminglee, on 11/13/2007, -14/+7This is pretty cool. It's interesting how Rob Sheridan portrayed Mario as an older man though. I guess he's pretty old now--looking at the amazon video clip (which was interesting by itself because that's a first I've seen on Amazon), it looks fantastic. I still haven't got a Wii though so.. ugh.. I'm looking for someone in NYC who won't mind a $10/hr wage to buy a Wii for me. Anyone? email me if you're interested mailto:seeminglee+wii+shopper@gmail.com :)
    • codwif, on 11/13/2007, -2/+1its still hard to find a wii system?
      • SkippyDoorknob, on 11/13/2007, -0/+6In most places, yes. Especially now that the holiday shopping season is getting underway.
  • Rsardinia, on 11/13/2007, -12/+83IT'S A ME, MARIO.
  • whymanwhy, on 11/14/2007, -4/+142Thats absolutely disturbing
    • wes00mertes, on 11/13/2007, -1/+7Agreed. My favorite part is the 'realistic' shadow of the sewer plant in the background.
      • GIFF3, on 11/13/2007, -2/+39Yeah the the hell is it every time I see a "realistic" drawing of mario, it is the creepiest thing I have ever seen?
    • macaddct1984, on 11/13/2007, -1/+5Reminds me of Handre's "realistic" yet disturbing portrayals of other video game characters: https://www.awfulmart.com/index.php?crn=210
      • sethisastud, on 11/13/2007, -0/+8Whoa...check out the bulge on Megaman!!
    • ApertureScience, on 11/13/2007, -0/+0Indeed, I've always had the impression that Mario was a jolly fat guy; I guess this is the brutal reality.
  • fhornplayer, on 11/13/2007, -17/+7Still looks two-dimensional to me...
    • thcobbs, on 11/13/2007, -3/+7You just need to nibble on this mushroom a bit..... then you'll get it.......
  • baldycraig, on 11/13/2007, -6/+12Yeah, just some random plumber. No one in particular...
  • gregatron, on 11/13/2007, -9/+4If it only actually looked like mario.
  • drkeclpse, on 11/13/2007, -4/+65He looks way too creepy to be the Mario I know and love
    • thr33m, on 11/13/2007, -0/+4This is the mario that owns a beat up old van with no back windows.
  • Woaz, on 11/13/2007, -3/+0It looks like he gained weight.
  • IDateMyMother, on 11/13/2007, -6/+6Why does Mario have to look like a Bolschevik?
  • Ninjaneer, on 11/13/2007, -8/+6Yeah, I really don't like this pic at all.
  • knifesideleft, on 11/13/2007, -7/+10For a related and funnier image see below

    • bankrobbery, on 11/13/2007, -2/+2Dugg for Perry Bible Fellowship. One of the only reasons I read my alt weekly.
  • liquisoft, on 11/13/2007, -4/+2That's not surrealism. Not really.
  • luke16, on 11/13/2007, -4/+3ummmm i just clicked to see a reply to someones comment and a window came up saying "oh noes i broke your comment"
    i loled
    • GvnMcCld, on 11/13/2007, -1/+4It's really only funny the first few times; then as you start wanting to see comments and it keeps telling you that you that, it starts getting very obnoxious.
  • xvertigox, on 11/13/2007, -3/+7Wow, his stuff is really good. /bookmarked
  • Iknockstuffdown, on 11/13/2007, -3/+3Love it.
  • samury, on 11/13/2007, -2/+35Most artists' depictions of Mario tend to frighten me.
  • zzz@tkz, on 11/13/2007, -5/+2Yeah, because this is the first 3D Mario game.

    Oh wait...
    • nnagflar, on 11/13/2007, -0/+1Oh, haha, cuz it isn't. I get it. You're funny.
  • countmandible, on 11/15/2007, -2/+1That is not surrealism. No way.
  • GeneralGore, on 11/13/2007, -1/+1That's a huge nose.
  • fragile00, on 11/13/2007, -1/+1I am the great destroyerrr!
    *Mario shoots fireballs everywhere*
  • Rupan, on 11/13/2007, -5/+2Thats pretty mediocre really.
  • bankrobbery, on 11/13/2007, -2/+14I adore this one:

    http://uploader.ws/upload/200701/emrocamariolandde ...
  • palsss, on 11/13/2007, -0/+7dugg for all the other amazing pics
  • ReeseKaine, on 11/13/2007, -1/+2This guy should redraw the Mario sprites for a HD remake of SMB1 and SMB2. Definitely would be worth the $50.
  • HanSolo69, on 11/12/2007, -1/+1So...this is this supposed to commemorate Mario's first trip into 3-D...just a few years too late.
  • TheMeatball, on 11/13/2007, -0/+3Cool pic. Trivia: Rob Sheridan is the art director for Nine Inch Nails.
  • jorgenmz, on 11/13/2007, -0/+12The amazing thing is his next post not being on digg already (or did I miss it?)
    http://www.rob-sheridan.com/sketchblog/2007/11/ske ...
  • Helpdesk, on 11/13/2007, -0/+2Larger alternative.
    http://www.favoritepart.com/Default.aspx?img=818&a ...
  • prevajanje, on 11/13/2007, -1/+2great pic
    incidentally, just bought wii today, i love it, tennis game by far the best, wonder
  • Dracusis, on 11/13/2007, -1/+2Bah, it's still a 2D image.
  • TheDuckHat, on 11/14/2007, -7/+1The 2D model is for Luigi not Mario. Does no one else realize this?
    • leif77, on 11/14/2007, -0/+7Notice the fireball? Its not luigi, its mario with the fire flower power up.
  • abtarhar, on 01/25/2008, -0/+1http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=E2sp-clMk8s

    It really happened. This plumber went forward in time!
  • ttamshadbolt, on 11/13/2007, -0/+2Why'd the bricks stay the same?
  • luet, on 11/13/2007, -1/+1This reminds me of IMARIO

    LOVE IS OVER
  • wilfordsy, on 11/13/2007, -1/+2My my my. You have skills my! Those are awesome pics.

    Dugg because of the cool pics. Keep it up.
  • Jorin, on 11/13/2007, -0/+2This is cool! I like seeing art inspired by things I grew up with. Does anyone know where I can find more nintendo art?
  • SomeCallMeBruce, on 11/13/2007, -1/+2Quick! Put it back in 2D before we see plumber's crack!!
  • theokandroid, on 11/13/2007, -0/+2btw. With all this speak of Trent Reznor going on. Rob Sheridan is the guy behind the website and a lot of NINs art. He's an amazing artist who actually started out with a NIN fan site and Trent liked it so much he hired him. Cool guy. Love the painting.
  • Frostman3D, on 11/13/2007, -0/+1It's 3am on the 13th and still no Mario at the local stores. Release date used to mean the date it hits the shelves.
  • A11YND, on 11/13/2007, -0/+1Mario looks like a pedophile.
    • Velnich, on 11/13/2007, -0/+1He let's children play with him. Enough said.
  • Velnich, on 11/14/2007, -0/+2"Portrait of a Plumber entering a more detailed second dimension."

    Fixed.
  • seeminglee, on 11/13/2007, -0/+2I am in awe with what users like to undigg. If comments are not comments, what are comments for?
