SPOnG has been gazing at these two pieces of Nintendo-inspired artwork for literally minutes at a time this morning, until we snapped out of our reverie and decided that we should really let our readers know about them as well!
The artist in question is one Dan Schoening, and you can see more of his videogame-inspired art at
Sketchtavern.com if that’s what floats your boat.
The Zelda-inspired piece (pictured right) already adorns our PC's desktop. Of the Mario-inspired piece (pictured below), Dan writes:
"Basically the piece was inspired by my artist friend Tim Kelly. He suggested I do a line up of Mario characters. Instead, I decided to make it more pin up like, and throw in as many characters that I enjoyed from the Mario series into it. The art itself was also a test in a new more fluid style, as I normally have a more angular feel to my work."
There you go, two shiny happy new wallpapers to celebrate the onset of spring. Now all we need is for the sun to return…
