Check out this Mario Paint artwork by RuiZinen. This is the real deal, folks, done with the real deal Mario Paint mouse, and not with some beefed up PC version. All the images you see in this video are digital camera snaps of a television screen that a Super Famicom playing Mario Paint was connected to.
The work is so good that it pisses me off! Doesn't it piss you off? All I can do now is think about all the time I spent trying to create something at least somewhat decent and never quite succeeding. I even sucked at the music side of it and I'm a musician! As the images came up in this video I just kept screaming "seriously!?" at my computer screen. They're that good.
There's plenty of great Nintendo character art in this video, but I really dig some of the Castlevania stuff, and all of the black and white art is fantastic.
Nope, I don't hate him, and the artwork doesn't piss me off. Constant practice makes you better at that thing. Reminds me, of what I used to do in MS Paint as a pixelGod.
Pffft, what a novice. He obviously didn't read the manual to Mario Paint which suggests that you record your drawings by using a VCR. A real pro would have been playing this off a VHS.
@quantumriian
it's obvious it isn't and will never be art. You see, he painted it using a super nintendo, wich means it is interactive, wich means it never, ever, ever can be considered art.
I was thinking something similar, but then I realized that it probably won't have much of a niche in a world chock full of free and good drawing applications, let alone with Flipnote Hatena on their own system. If they were to make a new Mario Paint, they'd have to take it in an interesting direction and make it more game like.
At first I kinda was, then I saw his later stuff and conceded defeat. He is an Art God and it is foolish to compare us feeble mortals to the likes of he.
I love that he used a Down by Law song in the video, I feel that they are a pretty underrated band in punk rock. Good art for using Mario Paint but I would like to see what he can do with a wacom tablet.
I would just like to take this shameless opportunity to link to my own Mario Paint video, which I made in 1993 with my cousin. I was... oh, six years old? It ain't bad, though, if I do say so myself.
Hawken publisher Meteor has, in its office, a piece of art featuring a woman with a bountiful underboob and very little in the way of clothing, hung in place by CEO Mark Long. The half-naked woman, named "Ruby Underboob"...
