So if someone where to trace my artwork and fully render it like mine should that person have any right to call it his??? Of course most of you would agree that no that person stole my art or design, ect. So why are we defending this artist who obviously has no rights to Mario??? Doesn’t matter how much work he put into this render, Mario and his likeness doesn’t belong to him and did this without Nintendo’s permission. Common sense people, Nintendo aren’t the thiefs here, they just took was rightfully theirs. =:3
This is dangerously stupid. Mario is a licensed character and it is actually illegal for outsiders to use his image to promote themselves or their products. This dude’s begging for a lawsuit. Besides it’s just stupid. Mario has looked exactly the same for many many years. When you render a character in 3D, you create all kinds of different poses and emotions and then you save them so you don’t have keep coming up with new renders for promotional material and videogames. This makes it easier for Nintendo when it comes to creating new games and for promotional purposes. Because of this, it makes it easy for “artists” to take a rendering of a character, toss it into a program, and create “art” that is probably an exact match to something Nintendo created when it first tossed Mario into that program. Everything I see in this “artist’s” version can be found on Mario long before this – moustache, eyebrows, eyes, hat, even the shadow his hat makes across his forehead. The only thing I haven’t found is that exact mouth, because the Nintendo version usually has a more distinct lower lip. If this genius thinks that’s enough to get sued over, then he should just continue trying to claim something he has zero rights to.
