IRL Mario is a squatty pedophile photo

This artist's rendering of Mario almost blew my eyeballs out. It's that repulsive. My long standing mental image of Nintendo's cute mascot has been erased by this foul image, and I'll never look at him the same way again. Thanks for that.

Pixeloo created this unattractive IRL Mario with "Photoshop CS2 and a bunch of random faces pasted over a 3d render of Mario from Nintendo." It looks more like the dark arts were involved. They add that they threaten to give Homer Simpson the same treatment.

Let's hope that Nintendo doesn't go the photorealism route later and do something like this. Wait, I take that back. I wonder what Peach would look like.

This is terrifying. There is no good reason that this rendering is so unshaven and gruff, not to mention wrinkly. Gross!

I think this treatment should be done to a lot more video game mascots. Tho something tells me Sonic might come out looking very Cthulhu-like.

This look would be perfect if Nintendo ever decided to make a survival-horror game.

MechaMonkey wins the internets. He read my mind.

Dude they really took some time on that, they even took the time to put blackheads on his bulbous fatty nose. Ew.

I cannot look away, his eyes lock on and follow you... How can y'all hate this? It's so insanely creepy that it's awesome.

I want him to make Bowser out of pieces of turltes and shit next. I doubt he's taking requests though, eh?
