It's everybody's favorite one-shot item, Kuribo's Shoe! Man, what was up with that shoe? Why's it got a wind-up key? And who the hell is Kuribo?*

I've been experimanting with separating my outline into different layers so I can blur things out of focus. I find it's trickier to do it on background than foreground. The background details are finer, but if I blur it too much, the line gets too thick and I lose too much clarity. I want to blur it enough that it's separated from the subject, in this case, Luigi and his bug green bootie of destruction.

I like to think I pulled it off. I'm trying to crank out one finished piece a night right now, so even if I didn't pull it off, I'm settling for it. Let mo know what you think, though!

I'll be selling prints of this at the New York Anime Fest at the end of September.

*I know Kuribo is the Japanese name for Goombas. I was just getting into the 1990 mindset. I was all, "Kuribo? Jugem? What th' hell?"

I heard that Kuribo is actually another name for Goomba. Since you find Goombas in the shoe, it makes sense.

Yep, Kuribo is Japanese for Goomba. There's another item in SMB3 called Jugem's Cloud. Apparently, Jugem is the Japanese name for Lakitu (I think). Which is weird, because Lakitu sounds more Japanese to me.
