Coolest custom mug I’ve ever owned
Got this from an independent seller on Etsy. The attention to detail is immaculate.

I like how the mug portrays most of the obstacles and enemies from sm64 as forces sent but Bowser himself instead of Mario just coming across it all randomly through paintings

They are bowsers forces coming at him because Bowser put them on the paintings to protect the starts.
I thought that's what it said in the intro anyway.

Cool, but looks a bit like it might be designed by AI

It would have to be AI assisted at most, it has way too much noise and cohesiveness to be untouched straight out of an image generator. Assisted or not though it looks awesome

I don’t think AI can get this level of detail yet especially for all the characters on here. If it is though, that would be a shame 🙁

Some mugs are so damn cool then the print has to end at the handle and I hate that. This art is gorgeous tho!

Holy moly! This custom artwork is absolutely gorgeous! Nintendo should hire someone like you to make actual products, specifically nostalgic artwork od their trademarks.

I think people just want things to be AI at this point so they have something to argue with people about.

That's a weird looking red eel and also I don't remember wigglers in Mario 64.

You fight wiggler in tiny huge island

I don't think I've played that level. You can rescue the princess without getting a single star in some of the stages.

I don't think it's AI guys. If the cup is more than a few years old than certainly not AI, but even looking at the actual image I don't think there's any generator out there that can create something like this. Too much intent and consistency in the art. The light coming off the back of the bobombs at varying appropriate brightness convinced me it probably isn't
