MODHacks Art #1- B3313 (v0.7)

aaaaaaaaaaaand we're back.

I wanted to do a sort of moody piece with this one. Since the ROM hack is all about the beta builds and the SM64 iceberg and all that pizazz, it generates this pretty cool atmosphere.

One of my favorite places is the Courtyard. It has three states to it, but the one I chose is the one called the Windy Courtyard. The fountain is empty (as pictured above), it's dull and moody, wind is howling through the maze that's to the left, and it's just cool.

I wanted the shadows to be DARK, and I think I pulled that off well. Part of the reason why I wanted darkness is to hide things in it...

The first one is on the left, in the maze. Elsewhere in the game, there are these Faceless Mario's that float towards you. So I have one peeking around the corner. The second one is Shadow Mario. I could've done better with them by making them almost opaque, then making them soft around the edges, but it's too late now. He's part of an event you can encounter.

I think I nailed the texturing of the bricks, as well as the shading on the star. And also Mario. Those are my favorites from this piece.
