N +

Instead of doing what everyone else does this time of year by creating a Christmas theme we decided to do something a bit different and do something humorous to liven the mood. Even how this header image came to be is a funny tale.

Everyone started bugging me long ago about doing a header image to commemorate Super Mario Galaxy, but during that time I was busy with work and playing the game itself which in my opinion is the best game ever made. Period. Last night I asked moderators G-Off and lutherjw if they had any ideas. Naturally being goofy as we normally are in the N+ chat they blurted out stupid ideas, but oddly enough their stupid idea of putting Ed as a planet with Mario suddenly made perfect sense. Ed asked me ages ago if I would do an illustration of him, so I thought why not? I could kill two birds with one stone... or planet. So, here it is. I had a bit of trouble working on this illustration because of my consistent giggling at the subject matter. Originally I had a mustache on Ed, but he wasn't instantly noticable, so I left it off and just put his head there looking surprised as heck to even be there.

Just like the previous one the new header image is just a cropping of a much larger image, and also like the previous one we've add.ed it to the photo gallery. I hope you have as much fun looking at it as I did making it. To tell you the truth at this present time Ed has absolutely no clue about this image. Boy would I love to be a fly on the wall when he sees this... hahahahahaha!
