#dropshadows
Dumb lil mockup of what I'd want a SMB3 Remake to look like, basically I'd push the Stage play aesthetic further, kinda like Dynamite heady #Mockup #Fanart #SuperMarioBros3

Confesso que ainda tomo uma surrinha pra fazer dropshadows bonitos, parece que eu tenho uma cegueira que não me permite enxergar a quantidade ideal de spread, blur e intensidade ao mesmo tempo

Waar zijn die dropshadows voor die je gebruikt in de groentinten?

Making a neat little macropad that can live in your usb-c port. I call it Key-Gle - the keyboard dongle. Based on CH552 which is new to me and learning a lot from vibe coding the firmware. Encoding a config blob into 128 bytes is super interesting work so it can be updated in browser without compile

Reden wir über Dropshadows
Genuinely thought this bin was levitating

To your point:
It just needs to be a bit more branded.
"Dropshadows lift the type off the page as if they are 3D. You probably don't even know how to do them."

Oh no, the secrets to how I do backlighting/dropshadows is revealed! (haha not exactly of course but this is the basic concept tbh)
Some areas in Paper Mario feature a rim lighting effect that is achieved in a manner that is extremely simple for the surprisingly effective results it produces, being simply shifting around a shadow copy of the sprite.

Allow certain tiles (e.g. SMB3 sun) to be a light source that affects the sprites, with dropshadows being angled away from the light source.

Not will they lose the dropshadows. I've given up hope on them getting a much needed refresh.

I figured it would be because of windows 11 or chromeos
This design kind of started from google's material design 2/refresh, where they did away with all the papercraft aesthetics for round buttons with dropshadows or outlines and product sans galore which might have also inspired "friendly fonts"

reni's dropshadows are so cool too !! they inherit the translucency of her coat, so they look far more interesting than regular 😭 baahh i'll gettem next time
March 17, 2026 at 7:45 PM
only just realised reni's sheet didn't have dropshadows like elise's, and now she pops out much nicer 😭

i feel like every time i do art, there is always ONE thing i forget !! it's too late now to redo the post, so i'll try to remember going forward with future gijinka sheets 🤞

somehow the mario maker-esque dropshadows have more appeal when added to the original than they do in mario maker. not by much but there's a little bit there

Either way it looks a little like the fizzling you see around car dropshadows in the Forza Horizons on Xenia. There, it's a masking for the motion blur I think

flaming lettters. dropshadows.

*in Fingees voice*
Some people really don’t want me to add the toggleable dropshadow marker to my platformer game. So the only logical compromise was to make everything a dropshadow marker. And dropshadows imply the existance of liftshadows, so I added these lifts that Shadow the Hedgehogs ride.

Minimalism isn't all bad, but goddammit some shading would be really nice.

Smartphone text desperately needs dropshadows, especially with how varied we can make lockscreen/backgrounds nowadays. Hell, all computers would benefit from dropshadowed text. Make things easier to read.

I like how Safari randomly decides to make all the browser chrome buttons appear to be floating above giant dropshadows on one website, but not on others.

Great pick!
Hanging on the wall behind me is a framed, 1993 promotional poster for that original Antarctic Press run.

Art will be supplied on a light background and as a transparent png. Dropshadows optional.

Both types will have separate listings.

If you have any questions, feel free to comment or DM me directly!

this is more of a soft rule that doesn't apply to cases where the pride colours are a metatextual element to convey a message to the viewer rather than a physical object. yes i've thought critically about this. i'll fuckin do it again

Most of the time I see brogrammer react hypebois screeching about CSS tricks and trying to explain their "true genius" in dropshadows optimized for flip phone mobile dialup.

so in addition to making me reset a ton of notifications and accessibility settings when i reinstall the app, i see bluesky changed the icon and now the little butterfly looks like one of mickey’s minstrel show gloves?
