More pottery! This time, a box I labored over for some time, with each side being a different kind of Mario block. Yes, you may notice some innacuracies, but I have a terrible photographic memory and that's what I went off of. However, I think the glowing side turned out excellent...

Actually, I didn't notice any inaccuracies. Maybe I'm just ignorant too, but... in any case, nice work.

Good work. I didn't spot any glaring inaccuracies. I think the SMB side should be more orange, but that's just my OCD talking..

So what do the top and bottom sides look like? Have you/are you going to decorate them? My suggestion for the underside would be a dark blue colored ?-block (as seen in SMB, New SMB, and New SMBW), and the top side be either a dice block (to represent the Mario Party series) or just leave it alone (so you can tell which way is up on the awesome box).

The only discrepancy I can pinpoint is that the bricks should be rectangular, not square. But still, that box is so awesome that it probably contains the cure for cancer.

I think the exclamation point should be white, but yeah, that's pretty sweet. I don't know why it never occurred to me to make Mario stuff in my 8th grade pottery class.

A clay tsuchinoko!

I'm sorry, a clay what?

A tsuchinoko is a mythical snake. You can find one in Metal Gear Solid 3 if you meet certain conditions.

You can also find one in Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow. Equipping its soul makes store items cost less.

Funnily enough, both of these are Konami games...

ToadBowser · « **Reply #24 on:** December 28, 2009, 10:26:06 PM »

So what's the difference between a tsuchinoko and a normal snake, then?

Weegee · « **Reply #25 on:** December 28, 2009, 10:29:47 PM »

It's proportionally wider and doesn't actually exist, for starters.

ShadowBrain · « **Reply #26 on:** December 29, 2009, 07:07:12 AM »

I thought the difference was they were pretty stubby and had an almost triangular body--along with myriad mystical properties, of course.

ToadBowser · « **Reply #27 on:** December 29, 2009, 03:03:43 PM »

Well, the art does look triangular... but I doubt it's magical, to be honest.

Weegee · « **Reply #28 on:** December 29, 2009, 03:55:55 PM »

On the contrary, they're every bit as magical (and fictional) as tanukis and kappas. According to Google Images, they are indeed depicted as being "stubby", but not very often triangular.

ToadBowser · « **Reply #29 on:** December 29, 2009, 04:46:11 PM »

I don't recall kappas being magical, although they are indeed mythical.
