Rowf-Badge Master

Best Viewed on Full View

Finally! Man, this took forever. o__o After a month or so of working on this, I'm so dang happy this is over with.

Aight, so here's how this went down. I downloaded the original Paper Mario from the Nintendo 64 onto my Wii. Started playin' it, right? Well, then I came across this Doogan dude named Rowf in Toad Town who sells Badges. I remembered who he was from when I first played this back in 2001 (or whenever it was originally released) and thought he was pretty cool. They should've included him in Paper Mario: TTYD...cuz he was just awesome. At least they threw in some random Doogans around Rouge Port in that game, so meh, whatever. There's not enough fan art of this dude, and there really needs to be cuz this guy rocks. Without him and his wise knowledge of Badges, Mario would've never gotten as far as he did. He even has a son! Which is pretty neat if you ask me. Just for fun, I gave him a nifty necklace, a cool simplified emblem on his sneakers, and gave him...teeth! Yeah, Rowf doesn't actually have teeth, but to pull off a winning smile like that, I figured what the hell.


Anyway, for not having any original artwork up in here for quite awhile, I'm pretty dang proud of this. Probably one of my best to date. All done in GIMP, and learned a few things too. ^__^

Hope you enjoy!

Partially inspired by one of 's deviations and 's awesome appreciation for Doogans, as well as special thanks to for GIMP advice. Much appreciated dude. XP Means a lot.

(Note: If you don't know these guys or are looking for some awesome artwork, watch them. Seriously. They've got a lot of insane talent to offer, so just a friendly suggestion. )
