Dec 2 2009Samurai Mario Battling Bowser And Dinosaur

This is a picture (larger version HERE) of Samurai Mario battling Bowser and what appears to be a dinosaur but what is actually a mutant Yoshi. If I can read the watermark at the bottom correctly the piece was created by artist Xiaobaosg. If I can't read it correctly it was made by somebody with a similar name
UPDATE: Using my detective skills and a large magnifying glass I was able to track down Xiaobaosg's DeviantART page AND burn an anthill in the process!
Hunting Season [Xiaobaosg's DeviantART]
Thanks to Alex-H, who once created a work of art so magnificent he had to burn it or risk blindness.

I can't tell if Bowser is attacking, or defending, Mario. MLIG(and scrapple)

thats much better than a ocular top hat wearing dino... that other dude failed!!!

@2 yeah i agree I can't exactly tell who is doing what. Either Yoshi and Mario are going to slash Bowser or Bowser and Mario are going to kill a T-Rex (which would be tragic)

@Closet nerd I think bowser is swinging for mario, but keeping an eye out for that Dinoshi.
@Blumpkins, it's my life is geekologie, and get a real fetish. THE BLUMPKOOZIE! Get a blumpkin and a ballkoozie at the same time. Booya.
Does no-one else notice how out-of-place bowser looks? All else looks as though it's been made to look eastern, but bowser just looks more like a turtle, and not much else.

I'm pretty sure it's supposed to be Mario and Yoshi battling Bowser. Seems fairly straightforward to me.
17. cabbo - December 2, 2009 3:42 PM
@16 not reading description fail.
18. I-Kill-Bambi's - December 2, 2009 3:43 PM
no no no you guys have it all wrong its yoshi about to be mounted by mario who in turn will sodomize bowser with his sword...just sayin

Fun fact: the Japanese text in the bottom left corner says "Super Mario Brothers," or, more specifically, "su-pa ma-ri-o bu-ra-za-zu."
23. laorosa - December 2, 2009 5:25 PM
