Have you ever wondered what Bowser would look like if he were a real creature. Well one artist has made what he thinks he would like like by using Photoshop. The details on Bowser are very great and would actually kind of look like a real dinosaur/creature.

Some weeks ago Pixeloo did his great untoonings of Mario and Homer. This inspired me to try something similar.

Like Pixeloo I also wanted to use Photoshop. But I didn’t wanted to use any Photos. I just wanted to paint the whole thing.

In Addition I not just wanted to lay a realistic texture over the original figure, but to rework the forms and proportions as well, to get the whole creature a more realistic look. This isn’t a untooning of bowser, it’s a redesign. How would he look like if he would be a real animal.

While I changed some of his proportions here and there I still wanted to keep his overall character. My redesign is a bowser who is a bit more slender with a narrower mouth that resembles a dinosaur. All this to give him a more realistic, faster and threatening look. I also took the original color scheme of Bowser and tried to convert it into some kind of realistic animal coloration.

For this picture I only used the Photoshop Brushtool (99% a simple round brush) and sometimes the smudge tool. I never used more than two layers at once, trying to work much like painting as possible.
