Happy Mario (BOWSER) Day 2023!

BOWSER... (detail.)

HAPPY MARCH 10! Or as it’s better known, Mario Day, (Mar10.) And to celebrate the Mario Bros., I decided to do an illustration of their arch nemesis, Bowser (King Koopa!) Trust me, it makes sense! 😅 I drew Mario, Luigi & Princess Peach for Mario Day a while back. This was a perfect time to add their big, bad foe! I tried to do a mix of the old school “classic" look & his new design from the upcoming Super Mario Bros. Movie. (Doesn’t Jack Black sound amazing as Bowser in the trailers?!) Below are glimpses of the coloring, inking & sketch process, as well as the other characters’ portraits.

After drawing Bowser in blue pencil (which will be removed in Photoshop once scanned,)
 I inked the small drawing with pens.

Preliminary sketches for Bowser.

 Thanks for stopping by! Have a great Mario Day & God bless!

Images of Kaijune Past

"GODZILLA" - Philip A. Buck

    Day 2: A Baltan from Ultraman! Drawn & inked with pencil & pens, colored in photoshop. (Check out the two process pictures.) Ever since I first saw these creepy dudes, I was a fan. Their designs have changed over the years, but they still have that quirky, cool quality!

"GUESRA" - Philip A. Buck
Ink on paper, colored digitally in Photoshop.

    Day 3: A 
Guesra from "Ultraman!" These sea monsters also have fun designs that are just enjoyable to watch in action. I had a blast drawing & inking this one. It’s about 8x8 inches & colored digitally in Photoshop.


"HEDORAH" - Philip A. Buck
Ink on paper, colored digitally in Photoshop.


"Hedorah!" - Philip A. Buck

    4: Hedorah! This “smog monster” is a foe of Godzilla. Throughout the campy, psychedelic film they clash in, Hedorah appears in four forms of sludgy terror. The kaiju may appear silly, but she adds a somber, dark tone to the 1971 flick as the embodiment of pollution & destruction! Spooky, silly stuff! Great creature!

"GYAOS" - Philip A. Buck
Ink on paper, colored in Photoshop.


"Gyaos!" - Philip A. Buck
Ink on paper.



5: Gyaos! This pterosaur & bat like species of kaiju is a recurring foe for Gamera, Protector of Children.
Gosh, I’ve enjoyed the Gamera movies I have seen & the Gyaos are some of the cheesiest & coolest enemies he faces! 

"GAMERA" - Philip A. Buck
Ink on paper, colored in Photoshop.

   6: Gamera! Gamera debuted in the 1965, Japanese film, “Gamera, the Giant Monster.” Originally this fire-breathing, rocketing turtle beast was a troublemaker, but he grew to be a defender of Earth & all children!  I got a bit carried away with the drawing.I’m not completely satisfied with the digital coloring, but it’ll do the job.

I hope you enjoyed these illustrations & the original black & white ink drawings. Do you enjoy kaiju & giant monsters too? Which is your favorite? My top four are probably cliche, but they are Godzilla, Mothra, Gamera & King Kong (in no particular order.)

Until next time, God bless!
