This fun project explores the iconic figure of Super Mario, a timeless character from the video game world. The goal was to reinterpret this legendary character through a personal pixel art illustration while staying true to its original visual identity.

The illustration was first created in Adobe Illustrator, with a strong focus on clean shapes and precise lines. Special attention was given to color calibration, recreating the retro tones traditionally associated with the character’s classic appearances.

Once the illustration was completed, the different layers were separated and animated using Adobe tools, including Photoshop and After Effects, resulting in a short animated GIF.
This format enhances the playful and nostalgic spirit of the project while bringing subtle motion to the illustration.

The final outcome is a simple yet effective animation combining illustration, color and animation, conceived as a visual tribute to classic video game aesthetics.
