You worked so hard on this and I'm really proud. You see you smelly man? DO YOU SEE? It looks lovely.

Your smelly drawing gets a smelly by the way.

Wow. That picture rocks, sir. Beautiful design and colors and an awesome rendition!

Just take a fifteen minute intermission, boys.

That's awesome. Really clean looking coloring job. Jood shading. I have only one gripe, and it is really small and stupid. But, the star would probably be emitting light, so that would probably be shining on Mario. But I still like this a lot. I'm totally favoriting it.

Well I have to say that the finished one is the best one. Very good work.

No, that's not small or stupid at all. I confess, I had considered the same thing and just failed to put it into practise, so it is the result of noob-negligence on my part. Before I set about shading the whole thing, I did actually think about how the Starman would affect the lighting. I'd absently drawn shine marks on the pipe, so the light source had to be from the right, but the Starman would probably change that. But, me being me, I forgot about that entirely until after I'd already shaded Mario's face (which I admit I did with mindless glee as I'd actually worked out how to shade - see the Goomba's 'head' for my first shaded thing), and by that time the damage was already done. In the future I might be good enough to consider erasing the shading and doing it again, but this time I just shrugged it off. Your comment made me smile though, it's great to see real critique on Deviantart - I have a phobia of the omg-lollerz-that's-so-kawaii gaggle. Or maybe it's just fun to see someone as nit-picky as I am.

Anyway, if it helps you feel better about favouriting the pic (thanks!), I think of the Starman as emitting light within itself. Kind of like how the Shines look on the Sunshine level select screen. Uh... but without all the light shining around them.
