Mackie85 - Princess Peach (Patreon)

 A while ago, one of the artists that I watch, Mackie85  had posted a new lineart that immediately caught my eye.

This was the lineart:  Peach Princess Lineart

A  pinup of Princess Peach.  I immediately wanted to color it, but I  couldn’t get to it right away because I had coloring commissions that  needed to be done.

By the time I was ready to do this one, Mackie85 had already done his own colored version of the picture:  Princess Peach.

I  liked it but in doing my own, I wanted to do things differently.  So, I  did use the colors he used as a guide but I went in a different  direction as far as shading as well as a background.  Such as what I  wanted to do for the background was do a small nod to the original, the  first Super Mario Bros game, where Mario comes in and rescues Peach.   So, using that, I laid down the grid work for the bricks that many of us  are familiar with when it comes to World 8.  And using a pixelated  font, I threw in those lines in the background that many of us had seen  Peach speak:  "Thank you, Mario!  Your quest is over.“  How many of us  were cheering when we finally beat the game?

Anyway, I left the  top bricks the same but the bottom, I wanted there to be a sense of  depth to her rather than her just sitting in an empty space with the  8-bit background behind her.  If that makes sense.

Hope you all like this.
