OK this all started with my misreading two words at a glance and interpreting them to read as "Luigi Forever". Thank you ODG. I think you know what you wrote. Anyway I saw (or didn't) those words and this idea came to my mind:
What if Mario had died somehow and Luigi was forced to step out of his shadow and take over as the Mushroom Kingdom's protector? How the hell would I draw THAT!?
So I took a few days to think of an image and this is what I saw:
I saw the courtyard from Super Mario 64. Where the warp pipe comes in to drop you off, instead I have this golden memorial with flowers and a brick walkway. It's a rainy afternoon. It NEVER rains in the Mushroom Kingdom (or at least I've never seen it rain there), just like Mario is NEVER gonna die (eh? eh? See where I was going with that?)! And the light source is behind the statue and Luigi, making it look like he's walking away from Mario's shadow.
I also took it upon myself to change Luigi's attire a bit to make it look more like he's in a state of mourn. That and it's raining.

I used a toutorial for the first time to make the rain. I thank Kagome for showing the site to me. My best pic yet I think. Definately my best background. Love my waterfall.

Mario, Luigi, Peach's Castle and courtyard all copyright Nintendo (and let's hope it stays that way).

Holy hell.

My mind is blown away. This is, by far, totally awesome. Glad to be the source of inspiration for so many people lately.

Oh, wow. Full view is...wow.

With the exception of probably one person, that's commentary I don't hear from people that often!
Wow - one word that can replace many.

Holy hell is just as efficient.

Thanks ODG.

Will do! It's hard to find such unique inspiration tho. I mean all this came from two words I misread!

Pretty cool! I will say it is odd to see Luigi in a trench coat, but I still like it nonetheless. ^_^

Gone from our home
But his legend remains with us
May he prosper wherever he travels
May he grant to those around him the joy he granted in us
May any evils where he may be tremble under his spirit
Bonne chance...DisOrient
Thanks for the fav, man.
