The IX at the end made me think of '9' somehow X^D Very nice action pose, good practice!

hah! It's definitely makes me think about it once i typed it down! It's just a stupid thing though. I'm actually happy about how this turned out. Maybe I'll try this out on someone else.

I keep finding that fluidity of motion in your work - are any of your classes with a view to animation, perchance? Is that something that piques your interest? 'Course, I suppose that brings in a whole slew of complications, not least being sure to maintain a character's consistency of appearance throughout, to say nothing of timing, or how to exaggerate for effect.. or, of course, the sheer time even a short finished project can take, as Rougee and many others can attest. ^_^

I have a vested interest in animation, but I chose illustration with an animation background, cause the main goal in animation is the bottom line, not so much the quality. That's why you see such lackluster stuff outside the movie screens. I want to do it at least in my spare time, if not, oh well I guess it would not be made for me.

Ix will kick you in the dix

and ain't afraid to get in the mix

Makes me think, "Thicker lines with less movement."

I hope so. I guess it was the intention.

Run Ix, Run! Don't let Rage Mario get away with his own!

rage will prolly outrun him. :/

I heard Rage can outrun a Lamborghini!!

nahh... I heard it was a bmw.

That's a bit disappointing considering that we're talking about a very Rageful Mario.

It was a M1. :(

Nicely done!
