CUPdate 96: Return to Mr Marcus World

To take a break between projects, my brother and I spent a day just doing random activities with our characters. One in particular that we call Return to Mr Marcus World. It's where we do various prompts with our characters in different mediums.

The first one we did was sculpting our characters in Donkey Kong Bananza! I started with Pigger.

Then I sculpted Cimc.

After that, we went back to our animation roots with Mario Paint. I made a little animated sequence of Doge and Ted eating a snack of Oreos together.

Then I used more of the copying frames features with the next animation. This is from Mikey's perspective where he thinks Gojo is his best friend.

The next activity was drawing pixel art versions of Hannah and Subeebia in the style of old Pokemon Red/Blue sprites with the same limited palettes.

Then continuing along with the Pokemon theme was Pokemon fusions between two characters. The first one was Mooth fused with Spectrier.

Then I drew Scott fused with Lombre.

So we did all of these on a Saturday after finishing Macca Masquerade, and it was fun to just do some little low-key drawings and things that didn't have to fit into anything. These kinds of projects always help rejuvenate me and keep me feeling creative.
