Introducing Prince Ray [Mariosona]

[meganehaven]

The prince of a kingdom long gone, these days he can be found secluded in a crumbling castle, guarded by the loyal few that remain…

^the original concept i made for my mariosona in 2022! my general idea was that he's a boo prince who takes on a magical yet ghastly human form in front of those not from his kingdom. perhaps if he were in a mario game (prob paper mario or one of the other rpgs), he would first appear in that magic form before his true form is revealed later.

then come years later, my bf made his own mariosona, Shy Cat, a shy guy! heres some doodles i did when Shy Cat was early in design



the difference in the way i drew Prince Ray's face... some friends say its like he went from baby face to more mature!

and lastly, heres an artfight piece from this year i did of our mariosonas together!



mat really liked it!! im glad lol. this piece also was part of how i found out i like drawing in black and white + spot color! very fun style (:
i imagine that Prince Ray can be a bit overprotective of Shy Cat at times lol

anyways... that aside... do you think he’ll stay with him forever in that crumbling castle?
