As part of the Character Design for Video Games course in the Game Design Art & Concepts Specialization from CalArts, we were asked to redesign and blend existing characters from different genres or art styles.
I decided to redesign the main characters from the long-running show “Supernatural” as if they were in Super Mario’s world. I illustrated them with the same principals as the Mario characters and the same general proportions. Castiel, Dean and Sam, are still very recognizable with their iconic outfits. (pictured below)
I was having so much fun so I took it a step further; I redesigned the Mario logo with a mash-up title “Super-Natural Bros”- all puns intended. I kept the colors true to the muted and dark mood of Supernatural, with an upper limit of 18 colors.
