this is the second installment for the album cover im working on which is a recreation (painstakingly recreated, might i add) for a dj who shall remain nameless till it drops :D ive hand pixel drawn this entire thing, right down to "mario" but hes not really mario etc. i might even take the moustache off him to make him look more like the dj. someone asked me why i didnt just alter a scanned image of the orignal...there are a few reasons for that:
1-the quality that most scans are done for things like covers are shit and since it is a scan of essentially cardboard, you get nasty artifacts and grain and uglyness.
2-doing this whole thing at 300 dpi means the dj gets high quality image for repro. again, the scans usually are horrible.
3-its more fun this way!
im debating whether or not to spoof the nintendo logo as well. this is the original:

so you can see mine is a bit different. this has been alot of fun to do and i cant wait to do the others in the installment. the dj's name is in there i just left it out until he proofs it.
