Earlier this year Splash Damage character artist Jon Fletcher crafted a magnificently twisted take on Mario for Polycount's Brawl contest. Now he gives us his twisted take on Mario's lanky brother and a splash screen for a game we'll never play but desperately want to.
Video game beauty is only polygon deep, right? Not so with Battlefield 3. This latest series of screens, concept art, and renders take us under the skin and behind the scenes of EA's next big shooter.
