Title: Mario's last Kart
Name: Daniel Moos
Country: Switzerland
Software: CINEMA 4D, Photoshop, Silo

Hello everyone
When I noticed, that all these Videogame heroes aren't getting older in spite of all their injuries and uncountable "deaths", I had
to change this. I think it wouldn't be fair if the heroes of our childhood are still young and vital, when we can watch our hairs getting gray and the hairline constantly rising...

I modeled them in silo with references and aged them a bit afterwards.
Rendering was done in c4d, 2 area lights, radiosity for the lightbounce and of course AO.

I hope you like it and critique is as always very welcome.

greets
Daniel

Here's the other picture I was talking about.

Nice, made me smile. :)

The only critique I would offer is that his fingers seem far more elongated than the usual Mario "fat-finger" look.

I'd also up the samples in the occlusion/shadows. They're still very grainy.

I'd actually love to see you expand this into a fully fledged artwork with background and so on. It's a great concept.

thanks guys!
@erilaz
You're totally right. I cheated a bit with the fingers, so that Mario can grip his kart. but
that was really necessary, else he couldn't move an inch without losing grip, fall down and finally breaking his hips... ;-) but you're right

I'm sometimes a bit sloppy with the AO samples, cause C4Ds AO is not really fast... but could also fix it in the post.

I was also thinking about placing them in a scene, but had no original idea maybe I just need to model some more nintendo allStars and just placing them on a Mario Kart track....

thank you for the crit
Daniel

It would be interesting to see an entire "Old Gaming Fogey" home, with all our favorites. PacMan taking pills, DK is a wheel chair.

Love this Picture 4* for sure!
