So, technically speaking I prolly shouldn’t be posting this since it’s a spoiler for a later chapter of my fic Luigi and the Beast, buuuuut I’m too impatient to wait to post this until that chapter comes out, so here it is now! I’ll put the context in a read more, for anyone who doesn’t care about spoilers, ha.

But here’s my first ever drawing of Luigi! I honestly am really happy with how it turned out! Some of the anatomy is a bit wonky (I tried to fix the position of his right arm, but my art program refused to move it and I really didn’t want to redraw it, so… ¯\_(ツ)_/¯), but overall I think it turned out really good! It’s Princess Luigi! ;-)

Anyway, in a later scene in L&tB, Luigi is babysitting Junior and the Koopalings when they all begin playing a role playing “Hero” game. Luigi volunteers to play the role of the princess, and when Wendy hears this, she insists that she dress him up to look the part. This is the result of the dress up, Luigi shocked to discover that he doesn’t actually look ridiculous, like he thought Wendy would make him look. Here is the passage that I was using as inspiration:

“H-he looks… nice. V-very nice… as his eyes rove his reflection, he takes note of the way the pale blue eyeshadow and the dark lines around his eyes make them pop in a way they don’t normally do, the blue of his irises somehow enhanced. And his lips… there’s a deep pink, slightly sparkly color to them now, the boldness somehow not overwhelmingly garish like he’d think, complimenting his complexion fairly well. There is also a faint shimmer to his skin, which catches on the light when he turns his head this way and that, highlighting his features in a way that’s not bad at all. And… a-and the dress…

It looks… not bad. Or, actually… it looks kind of nice, if he’s being honest. The sight of himself in a dress is a bit shocking, but when he ignores the squirming in his gut, he finds that it… it strangely works. He’ll admit that the gaudy belt is a little much, but the simple blue dress paired with the shimmery white shawl honestly looks very nice, even if it is a size or two too big. Even the fake jewelry and crown don’t look too bad, the whole look somehow cohesive and comprehensive. No, he doesn’t think he quite looks like a princess, per se, but the overall look is just… nice. He… he looks nice.”

(Also, not mentioned here but earlier in the chapter that will be coming out in like... a month and a week, I think??? It's said that Luigi put the dress over his regular clothes, like play clothes are usually meant to do. So, that's why he's still wearing his green shirt, overalls, and boots. He's also wearing a petticoat, which is why the dress is all poofy.)

What do y'all think?? I'm not the best at drawing clothes or what not, so I know the shading is wrong, but I don't have time to pull out my clothing drawing reference sheet I saved ages ago and go over it, so this will have to do, ha. Same with the curtains. I also can't seem to fix the shaky lines, since my free art program (GIMP) doesn't auto fix them and my hands are pretty shaky. It's why I tend to prefer to draw realistic art, since I can just blend the shaky lines together, ha. Still, I like it over all!!

Oh! And here's the drawing without the mirror texture over Luigi, so you can see all of the details:

#Luigi #luigi my beloved #Mario #super mario #super mario bros #My art #L&tB #L&tB Spoilers #I wanted to go with a simple background since I always make elaborate background and they're the worst #Also he is supposed to be in a dressing area #So.... ha
