Mario goes Hardcore

Mario has finally gone Hardcore!! I Started sketching it after I saw a DavidRapoza video, where he said that our fanart must add something new to the character, and that artworks must be narrative!! So I decided to draw Mario in a totally different Style, facing Bowser for the very last time!! Yoshi is by his side, as well and won't rest until Bowser is defeated!!
I think it's the second time I take sometime drawing the background, something that took a bit of time was to make sure the background wasn't making the characters fade!

I made a different painting that is detailed, but the shading previleges the main characters!!!

What do u guys think??
