Super Mario Bros. 3

Photobucket

I do have to notice I've done a few from this game already - then again, it's my favorite platformer. I think there's probably a good number of people out there who can agree that SMB3 was an amazing insight into just how deep and enjoyable a game can be by combining a simple concept and gameplay with fantastic level design. Hearing some of SMB3's music remixed in the soundtrack of Super Mario Galaxy made me very, very happy.

(I must apologize for the poor photo quality. This one really doesn't compare to seeing the shirt in person, the colors are much more vibrant, and there's only so much iPhoto can do to a shot. I normally take my photos at night when there's less ambient window light, but this one was an early morning photo. At some point I'm going to make a whitebox so I can take some more decent photos, or maybe just catch a few of these shirts in use!)

Super Mario Bros. 3

Photobucket

Happy New Year!

This is my first shirt where I've taken a little extra creative liberty. There are no flying Bloopers in the game, but I took the Blooper sprite and added the wing sprite seen on a lot of other flying characters. It's for a friend who shares an in-joke about flying squid.

As of this photo I haven't heat-set this shirt (I'm trying some new kinds of paints), but I like this design because it was very simple with 2 colors. I'll have to see if there are any other black and white sprites out there.
