Mario Hunter Ukiyo-e Art
July 29, 2009 10:00 AM | Eric Caoili

Singaporean illustrator William "xiabaosg" Chua created this Ukiyo-e style piece bringing together the worlds of Super Mario Bros. and Capcom's Monster Hunter series. Bowser seems to fit into the world perfectly, more so than the T-rex in the background (perhaps that's supposed to be Yoshi?). Mario as a samurai, while not as brilliant as this, also looks great.
This "Hunting Season" art will appear in German publisher Uber Books' upcoming Designers Games Remix -- the same book featuring the Crystal Castles tribute I mentioned last month. Looking forward to the book's release!

Interesting mix of samurai stories. For perfect composition he can add a bottle of "Asahi":)
