my fantasy portrait

hey guys, i've just finished my fantasy portrait. here is what my picture looked like before

and here is what it looks like now

I call it, Real Life Mario. Sure, there have been hundreds if not thousands of other pictures like this, but i really wanted to do my own take on of it because the concept seemed interesting, and well, I'm a huge Mario fan, so why not?

Anyway, tell me what you think about it.
