Turnip Murder
This is my entry for the Battle of the Sexes on conceptart.org. The topic for girls was Brotherhood, so I chose a familiar pair of brothers to paint. I always loved that your weapons in Mario Bros 2 were vegetables :)

Hey Nonie, fancy meeting you here. Crazy.
Anyway, I really like this. Definitely conveys the SMB2 vibe, and I love the edges of the Shyguy’s tattered robe.

oh snap, Shy Guys and all! That’s awesome :D
February 23rd, 2009 at 4:35 am
Shy guys! This is great, love the angle of the view… and yeah, Super Mario Bros 2 was such a great (and odd) game.. awesome!

February 23rd, 2009 at 6:24 am
Nonie, that’s ridiculously awesome! It totally captures the game’s weirdness.
February 23rd, 2009 at 6:54 am
hah! awesome! I love the blood on the forehead. SMAK>TurniptotheHead. When did you ever have time for this with all the crunch you’ve been working? (or is this at the SNS that I’ve been missing! I should never have moved up here :P)

February 23rd, 2009 at 12:20 pm
Excellent! :)
Love the idea, and the execution is fantastic. Such colorful atmosphere…and that angle - damn!
February 23rd, 2009 at 2:26 pm
That is so damn incredible! I just put it on my desktop (I love that you named it turnipmurder!) This has always been my favorite Mario game by far. It expanded my mind to concepts like, you may pick a turnip from the ground only to find a rocket hiding underneath.

Woah, nice ! :D
February 23rd, 2009 at 4:03 pm

Superb! :D. Many childhood memories in one pic. :) Your take on it, reminds me of Jason Chan for some reason.
February 23rd, 2009 at 7:11 pm
Wow thats awesome Nonie! when did you have time to work on that?! Crazy
February 23rd, 2009 at 11:54 pm
Bahahaha!! What can I say, this piece is a winner. Great choice in point of view and the bloody drama with the falling Shy Guy. And people say GTA endorses violence…
February 24th, 2009 at 12:04 am

Beautiful work.
February 24th, 2009 at 4:45 am
