Super Paper Mario in Flash - Extended!

[NintenDan]

So I loved drawing Mario so much, I drew Luigi, Bowser and Peach too. Over about 3 days of tracing official artwork and sprite sheets, here are the results:

Which don't I like? Luigi, he looks... slightly off. Peach and Bowser look great. Luigi, Mario and Peach's colours haven't been finalised either, but Bowser's colours are near finished. Background is just for fun, too.

Tell me what you think, and if they look close to the original thing. I'm hoping to make an animation with them. By the way, I've got all the parts split up so I can pose Mario any way I want. I've even got eye and hand animations based on what actions he's performing (and the same applies for Luigi, Bowser and Peach too; all separate pieces). Below is an image illustrating what I mean by "separate":

What do I plan on doing with this? Making an interactive animation, I'm guessing. Maybe add in a battle scene too, heh.

Luigi only looks off by a very, very, VERY slight amount NintenDan, but I can't quite word it... Except for it just doesn't look... Right...

The others though are perfect! I see nothing wrong with them at all. Mario's colours look finished, but you may want to add a little bit of lighting to Peach and Luigi. Bowser doesn't need it, he has some already.

Personally I think they do look incredibly close to the REAL characters.

I'll try moving Luigi's left eye (his left, not your left, heh) and his nose and that might make it look better. If not, I'll trace Luigi's head again.

Bowser appears to be in a lot of pain, there.

Perhaps he got something in his eye. Or maybe he stubbed his nose/snout/whatever the hell that part of his face is meant to be.

He looks like he's in pain? I was going for a happy/ferocious look, heh. That's supposed to be his "happy" eye.
