Description
Oil on CanvasSo this turned from a joke into an actual art project because my art teacher is not very literate in video games. But I don't care, because I got to do what I wanted, he liked it, and I got an A in the class.
Anyways, so we have that love it or hate it course from Mario Kart 64. Personally, this was favorite course in the game- the surreal setting, the epic/heroic music, the neon sculptures, and that massive shortcut that got you more air than most flight simulators. A fitting final track to one of the best racing games ever.
Fun Fact: I was learning to play its song on the organ at the same time I was making this painting. Multi-tasking ftw.

i hope mario kart 8's rainbow road put's the others to shame by having like loops, falls telleporters, boosters, meteors hitting the stage many planets to land on like in 7 but far more epic also the gliders were awsome and and then we need incredably awsome graphics and a kick ass background theme song and put it all in one cup called the rainbow cup with all the other rainbow roads leading up to this one!

I have been championing a Rainbow Cup since the retro cups were introduced! Also, the music for every RR is fantatsic (love the organ they use), and the texture for the Wii version was my favorite.

Hi, I'm making a Mario Kart level on a game called "Platform Racing 2" and I really like your art. I was wondering if you could draw this or something similar on my level. I would really appreciate if you could. Send me a messege if you can do it.
~Thanks!

You, my friend, are completely insane. In a very endearing sort of way.
I cannot believe you finally managed to find all those colors; this really turned out quite nicely.

Yup. I like it. It's my favorite painting because it is instantly recognizable to any gamer older than 13. And almost anyone older than 13. But no more than 40.

That's an oddly large demographic, when you really think about it.

Thanks, mate. The perspective was sooo darn hard on the loop. How are you supposed to show something going into the distance AND doubling-back on you to cross over itself using tiles?

Holy, I thought this was official art from the game at first... and I was thinking, "man, how'd he get the resolution so good??" XD
REALLY nice work here... the kind of thing that should be hanging on any Mario/Mario Kart fan's wall. Brilliant color and contrast... really catures the "look."

Thank ya kindly good sir! Maybe sometime I'll get around to adding in the railing and sculptures, but for now, it's just gonna hang on my wall until I get back from Europe.
