Super Mario Art Craptastithon Contest!

Nov. 10 12:43 PM by The Pig

Sure, anyone with a fancy art degree and a sketching tablet can make a sweet picture of a photorealistic Mario scaling the crumbling side of a mountain while attempting to rescue an anime-styled Princess Peach with huge boobs and eyes. But we are mere men, and our talents lie in the truest and crudest of arts. With this truth, we're hosting a art contest for people like us who can make awesome BAD video game art!

Here's the task: create a custom drawing of Mario, make it as eye-catching bad as possible, submit it to our staff, and the best five entries will win some excellent swag -- official GP backpacks, a Code Monkeys Season 1 DVD, free video games, gamer t-shirts, and some retro style GamePro gear!

DA RULES:

Create some awesomely awful Mario art!
Use any tools necessary to make it your own -- paints, pencils, crayons, MS Paint, or why not Mario Paint?
Save your entry as a JPEG file
Send it to mckinley_noble@gamepro.com for your chance to win!
Make it horrible, interesting, awesome!

Here's an example from our own LongHairedOffender, so draw, trace, and show us your stuff!

(We give extra points for original work -- the more elaborate your bad drawing is, the better chance you have to win!)
