These were made three weeks back now, finally catching up with posting all my designs.
I got a little behind with things.

Another picture of Mario and Luigi.

I decided to have another play with the Mario design the other day..................
not quite sure why now.................oh yes, I remember.
I was looking for a design to teach at the next Zoom-A-Balloon workshops.

The moustache is to big and bulky and not sitting correctly to me.

I made another head with a softer looking moustache.
It still did not look right to me...................

I think it needed some of the moustache showing under the nose.
Possibly looking a little better although he needs shorter legs on version two.

I was still not happy with the moustache and look of the face so tried a simpler version.
And then after changed the hat to a 260.

I tried for a more correct look for Mario's hat. Trouble is I'm not sure if I'd be able to re-create it again.

I tried Mario's eyes in Blue.

I changed his moustache so it looked more like Mario's with the sculptured look.

I forgot to post the final Mario I made a few months back, I just made his moustache a little on the curly looking side.

I was trying to make a quicker Mario. His trouser leg though needs to be a 350 possibly?
A little more chunky.
