A place for those who "Trust the Fungus"

Carl

Hello all! I've recently started putting my art up on a print site to be sold as posters, phone cases, pillows, greeting cards and what have you. There's not much up now, but take a gander, if you will. I'd sure appreciate it. http://fineartamerica.com/profiles/carl-chrappa.html

Posted a new Mario themed video. :/

Carl

Yeah man, feel free. Just credit me at carlchrappa.deviantart.com

Carl

I don't know if I shared this here, but this is a Legend of Zelda video I made this past winter, along with an illustration to go with it.

Let's put this up for comparison, shall we? Guess who I ran into at Otakon this past weekend.

Carl

Heeyyyyy everybody. So, unrelated to the ongoing sequel comic, and the one I attempted to start on my own a while ago, I've been cooking up a little comic based on my idea of a fantasy based Super Mario Bros. origin story. Something to bring all the canon stuff from the games together. So without fu...

Carl

Well this seems the appropriate place for this.

Non-profit fan film project.

Carl

Well he's an Eco-terrorist. The mushroom world is ravaged and devoid of resources, so he takes a more radical approach to restoring the planet.

Carl

Ahem. I'll just leave this here.

SOME TIME LATER, the second part is now out. I've had a hankering to do this followup for a while.

Carl

Mario's costume gets a slight update, now equipped with a flack jacket and spare bills for his Thwomp stompers.

Carl

Well, I can neither confirm not deny Wart's "sophistication" at this point, suffice to say this is not his only wardrobe. As for the shy guy, this is a preliminary sketch, and I agree he could use a more dystopian accent to his appearance. More to come.

Carl

What's this! Candid production art!

Carl

Definitely going to the screening in New York this year.

Carl

Im making this topic to gauge interest in a possible sequel comic. At this point, just a promotion for the site and a possible future project. I simply want to see who would be interested in a 6 page lead-in for a Super Mario Bros. 2 comic book.

Carl

Well, thanks very much everybody. The only reason I haven't done more is purely due to schedule restrictions and other projects. I'd like to do a little something something for the 20th anniversary.

Carl

http://carlchrappa.deviantart.com/art/Mariolution-341891392 I think this was touched on here on these forums before, but w/e I'm restating. Mario's design and character seemed to be developing at a steady pace between his creation in 1981 and up through Super Mario World in 1990. What with the whole...

Carl

@jka So... The galaxy games, the only shining star in the modern Mario franchise, is the death of the series. Sure, not the bland, soulless, generic rip-offs of the side-scrolling era and the endless stream of minigame compilations that Nintendo's been churning out. Yes, by all means, the only part ...

care to elaborate?

Carl

I guess that makes me the missing link. A pity I probably won't have my Devo Gun there, or else I'd blast the two of you to make it look like one is de/evolving into the other. Ha, that'd be a good picture. and ultimateemail5000, I ordered the overalls on ebay for around $30.00. The hat is a white ...

Carl

Awesome. If we run into each other, we have to find a modern mario and do an evolutionary scale thing.

Carl

Haha, very cool. We'll have to meet up and either have a showdown or a team-up next year.

Carl

Oh, i don't think it would have to be very story involved. It's still the same "Mario save the Princess" plot, but with time travel instead of space.

Carl

I'm not sure if this goes here, as it's not a real Mario game, just a fan's idea. I've voiced my cynicism towards the current Mario games before, and I got to talking with a friend of mine on what we think ought to come next. The name "Super Mario Universe" has been tossed around the web a...

Carl

I know I'm about to get fire-flowered for this, but I am not thrilled by the Mario games of the recent years. Specifically New Super Mario Bros. Galaxy was wonderful, but galaxy 2 should probably have just been called Super Mario Galaxy: Expansion Pack. Anyway, New super Mario Bros. When the origina...

Carl

I recently finished up my retro Mario costume. Anybody else on here cosplay?

Carl

I by no means consider this to be a work of any significance. In all honesty, it is the spawn of boredom. It is entirely done by me, windows movie maker and a tripod.

I may actually use this for a little video I'm doing, but whateva. Felt appropriate.

Carl

I'd love to make it to the screening on the 28th, but as it turns out. My mom's birthday falls on that week and I'm not sure if i can do it. DDDDDDD:

Carl

So... screenings on the east coast... Near enough to drive to...
I just have to. I'm sorry, I have to.

"Nothing's impossible! Improbable, unlikely, but never impossible!"

Carl

Give it a chance.

This movie gets a lot of flack, but I genuinely enjoyed as a fun adventure that is easy to follow and is chock full of lovable and memorable characters.

Carl

Thanks, glad you guy like it. Glad you both picked up on it so quick. I was afraid that people were going to assume it was a comedy based on the subject matter, but no, it seems the grimmness and gravity of the situation came through just fine.

Stay tuned, There's still more to come even.

Carl

Hey folks. In my spare time, when I really should have been doing work, I started sketching out this comic strip. I have 7 pages scratched out so far, they can be found here. http://carlchrappa.deviantart.com/gallery/34676246 1. http://carlchrappa.deviantart.com/art/Mario-page-1-278623048 2. http://...

Carl

huh, didn't realize his mustache came off there. Then again, i didn't edit that one. I know we took multiple takes, I guess Jake must've used the wrong one.

Carl

Hey all, a couple new things. A friend of mine's younger brother had decided to make a Super Mario Bros. Fan film. He asked me for some help on a scene. Here is a fight scene we created http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qk1mcGie6lo And some leftover footage of myself messing around with different shots...

Carl

Sparingly. I make some poor quality youtube videos based on Nintendo characters and the like. If anyone cares to look.

Carl

I think it's a bit too late for a sequel to that movie to make any sense. If anything, an entirely new movie, ignoring the old one would have to be made, probably with some relatively unknown actors i'd think.

Carl

Actually he's right. Nintendo has officially stated that Mario and Luigi were born in the Mushroom Kingdom and that they have no last name. In regards to this topic. Yeah, I always thought it would be cool to see the Mario characters come to the "real world" in a game. I imagined it being ...

Carl

@phlibbit and peach blossom: Thank you, I attend the Joe Kubert School for Cartooning and Graphic Art, so i've been getting rigorous training in comic book art for the past 3 years. I'm a child of the nineties, so a lot of my influences come from artists like Jim Lee or Mark Bagley, who defined a lo...

Carl

Lol, I saw the title of the topic and immediately thought: "Make three HORRENDOUS prequels and spit in the fans' faces."
