Description

Another pic of Bowser and Peach. I really love these two. Cannonly Bowser's love is one sided, but Peach does actually like him and doesn't hold any grudges against him, so its easy for a fangirl like me to see it becoming two sided given the right circumstance.

I wanted to draw a cute, but not totally romantic pic this time, and again attempt to actually draw Bowser in his true form, most of my previous attempts have ended with him looking like something from Where the Wild Things Are and me crumpling up chucking what might have have been a really good picture if Bowser had come out decently. What I ended up with was a picture of them sleeping beside each other with Peach propped up against a pillow so she doesn't get an eye poked out by one of Bowser's many spikes. But I didn't really think about a background until I had finished coloring them. They are now fast asleep beside a fire in Bowser's Castle, and they could have easily been outside in the sunshine.

I think doing them outside would have been really pretty, and probably easier, but I decided on the castle because I think napping in the sun together pushes it a little bit closer to the romantic side of the spectrum, whereas by the fire could just as easily be between either friends or lovers, and I was going for ambiguity. It also gave me a chance to start playing with highlights and shadows again, and gave more room for mood. I added some more dreamy colors around them to give it a sort of sleepy atmosphere.

I love how peaceful this piece ended up being. Its almost a bit relieving to have a picture with someone being a sleep, having they're faces relaxed instead of having to worry about, "Does he/she look happy/sad/angry enough?" and for Bowser especially its nice to see him relaxed...especially when you remember that one of his Koopalings could burst n any minute and ruin the moment...Or Kammy...Or Mario.

I was originally going to erase the line art and make this a lineless picture, but when I was looking at it I decided it sort of looked silly without the lines, and it gave it a sort of rough organic look that I really liked.

I hope you enjoy my art, and please keep your comments about what pairing is better BowserxPeach or MarioxPeach or (insert charater)xPeach or Bowserx(insert character), to yourself. And for gods sake please do not even bring up OCs, kay?
