Inside the Mario House (Patreon)

I got one of the scene stills finished that takes place in the kitchen.  I pulled back further on the shot than necessary from the board thumbnail, so that I could make sure everything in that area was rendered if I ever need to use that angle of the kitchen in another shot.  I had a couple variations for the color palette I went through, and I used inspiration from Paper Mario 1, 2, and 3, Superstar Saga, and a touch of Mario RPG.  Most of the color scheme was from the Paper Mario games.  The yellow in the wall came from the first pre-made color palette I chose, and I ended up really liking it compared to the eggshell white and went with that instead.  I started modeling the rest of their home too.  The back section of their house definitely looks like a 2 story loft to me considering the higher window extruding from the ceiling.  They'll have a 2 section basement as well; one room underneath each main section, but I'll put off modeling that until an episode uses that area.  I try to avoid making things that aren't directly involved with the current episode's production to cut down on time.
