Description

I have gotten back into the “Sonic the Hedgehog“ video game characters, but I still prefer “Mario & Friends” over it. They are both great series, with great characters. And why not a better way to draw another tribute to both franchises, then by doodling the two classic famous sidekicks. They are, “Luigi Mario” & “Miles “Tails” Prower the Fox”.

 

Luigi: He’s green, he’s fun, he is kind and sweet, First appearing in 1983’s “Mario Bros” platform arcade, he has become a phenomenon since then. I played MB on the NES at my friends’ house, and that’s sort of how I was n=introduced to… “The green person”, his name didn’t stick in my head. I re-met the character playing “Mario Party 5” for the Nintendo GameCube, and he sort of became my favorite. Well, at the time I favored “green” characters. But, I grew attached to him overtime. Luigi has had about four solo games, important moments in TV shows (which became internet and YouTube Poop memes), and was a brave lead in the 1993 Sci-fi film adaptation of the video games.

 

Tails:  When I got into Sonic, I felt right away that SONIC was my favorite character. However, I started to get found of the two-tailed yellow fox (first introduced in 1992's Sonic 2). I tried to deny it, but it.. well, is not easy. I did at one point wish Tails was more…  Bad… Tailed. Well, around of the order-aged Sonic characters were not just tough, but praised because of it. And Tails was really maligned like fox-poo because he was a cute friendly whimsical character. But, I realized that wouldn’t do, and how I forgot WHY I liked him in the first place. He is nice, pleasant, intelligent, creative, and always optimistic about situations… well; he can get angry and doubtful like any real person.  In conclusion, I have accepted that he is my all-time favorite Sonic character. I was happy years back to discover that he had his own games, “Tails Adventure” and “Tails Sky Patrol” for the Sega-Game-Gear and “Tails and the Music Maker” for some leapfrog rip-off system. The two GG games are a reason why I bought “Sonic Adventure DX”… but I unfortunately never unlocked them. but, I recently bought and read the Sonic Universe comic/graphic novel based off the TA game, and I really enjoyed that one. I really hope a new Tails solo game is made, and features all of his arch-enemies (and have Tails-Doll as the main surprise antagonist). Tails is also lovable in the TV programs. The DIC ones are adorable, while the anime “Sonic X” one is likeable and… sadly has a heart-breaking moment.

 

Art: I wanted to draw a picture of Luigi & Tails, but wanted to have it unique and to be distinguished from other Tails and Luigi pictures. I then thought about and decided to place Luigi in his costume/outfit from the 1993 SMB Movie, where he was portrayed by “John Leguizamo”, yet have the game design. I colored Tails orange to reflect the older games and television cartoons, while having his forehead hair be totally different. I drew Luigi with pencil before sharpieing over him. But Tails, I only did some in pencil.

 

Nintendo and Sega

Art by I’ll draw it because no one else will.

Even if you're trying to make Luigi look more like John Leguizamo, it's a damning mistake not to include the iconic mustache.

They really do I hope that Nintendo and Sega team up (after all of these sporting Mario and Sonic games) to make a Luig and tails Adventure game, with Tails Doll and a Boo Queen as the main villains.
