WIP: A Mario twist on an old design.

Remixing my Paint cans was for the HotHitz challenge and changing it up to a Mario Bros theme. This is just the starting point of the design and I'm going to add a bunch of theme items to the paint areas to represent some of the different worlds that you find in the mario bro games. More to come on this one before the due date.

oh and any ideas or suggestions for the pain areas would be cool.

bortwein on Jun 28 '11 at 1:42pm

pain = paint.

I remember and really enjoy this reworked idea and where you say you're talking it.

You could have a Mario mustache-shaped paint brush next to it :)

Good Ol' Mario Paint reference

Maybe some Yoshi footprints?

ha that's funny I actually forgot about Mario Paint the game.

Haragos on Jun 28 '11 at 1:56pm

Wow you did? That's the first thing I thought of.. I'd market it as that lol. "Plumber Paint?" something like that.

yeah strange that I forgot about that. I'm thinking about letting that reference influence the direction now.

bortwein on Jun 28 '11 at 2:51pm

I do plan to improve the shading.

bortwein on Jun 28 '11 at 5:05pm

going to try and find time to work on this tonight so any additional feedback is welcome.

I did absolutely nothing on this last night. There I said it. :-P

5 days later

I completely Failed to get anything done on this design in time for the Hot Hitz. I guess it is better to find the right time to work on it and do it well than to have tried to rush out a design that could be better accomplished with time and effort. More to come on this later.
