Just a little remake of an old animation I did, Mallow's Battle idle in BIS style.

I'd heard lots of complaints that Fawful didn't make at least a cameo in Dream Team... He's kind of dead though so I don't see how that would have happened. Regardless, maybe this remake of one of Fawful's signature animations from Bowser's Inside Story will make up for that.

Even more Dream Team! This time, I referenced what I could from Kylie Koopa and whipped up my own Koopa Troopa, which was then edited heavily into Dry Bones. Also threw in some new angles of Boo.

Thanks for sticking with me despite really infrequent updates; I've been pretty busy with real life things lately.

Until then, I may as well post what I’ve managed to grab from the game, either from AlphaDream’s Miiverse posts or using my capture card to copy what I could. (You might have to view this post on my blog, tumblr likes to resize images attached to asks.)

Thanks! Recently I've been working on more Dream Team stuff, but that's not to say I won't occasionally sprite in BIS too. They're two vastly different styles, after all, so I don't see why I wouldn't still play around with both sometimes.

After my first play-through of Mario & Luigi: Dream Team, I was a bit surprised not to find any references to Super Mario Bros. 2... so it seemed fitting to try out a certain frog king in DT's side-scrolling style. I was originally going to make an animation out of this, and I might still at a later date.

Also, I need more stuff on this blog haha... not sure where my time has gone but I've hardly arted recently. We'll get there!

As for sprites feeling flat, perhaps practice with light-sources, depth and just shading in general will help you out. Giving a character or object volume is completely dependent on shading. Hope this helps!

A little Skellobit animation in BIS style! I had a lot of fun reinterpreting him into a non-paper style; that’s probably part of why I’m still happy with this one despite it being older than some of the other stuff I plan to upload.

but givhe credt pleasing

Actually, Ludwig’s revamp is my favorite. While I have made a bunch of Larry animations in the past, the second version of Ludwig is a vast improvement over the original version and I’m just very pleased with the turnout.

Thanks to my friend Elliot/Shouty for some parts of Morton and Roy and also overall criticism.
