Wario Nike Dunks concept by ghettoburger. They’re pretty weird looking, but then they’re patterned after a character whose defining trait is that he’s kind of a dick. Weirdness all around, is what I’m saying.

Speaking of Wario wardrobes, I never understood why he adopted this biker-on-Easter thing for the WarioWare games, instead of the classic yellow/purple Mario suit. Was it to distance the experimental WarioWare from the Mario series? Was it because they wanted him to look more appropriate on a motorcycle? Was it because goggles are neat?

WarioWare DIY papercraft. Nintendo included these Wario templates with the materials handed out to GDC attendees. But now you can make a boxy, formally-dressed Wario even if you didn’t attend GDC (or if you didn’t have Joystiq coworkers there), thanks to this scanned template. 

It doesn’t really translate to the tasks in the game in any capacity other than that it involves Wario and making stuff, but anything to get people to pay attention to this rad game is a good thing. And since the game is about making stuff, it translates much more than the usual game papercraft. Plus, you know, yay papercraft.

Scribblenaut-ized Heavy, Spy, and Pyro by Turk128. As with the previously featured fan-drawn game characters mimicking Scribblenauts’ playful style, these Team Fortress 2 classes likely won’t appear in the DS game.

Neither will these survivors from Left 4 Dead:

Turk128 also drew these adorable versions of John Shepard (Mass Effect), Mona (WarioWare), and Jack (MadWorld):

And he illustrated these celebrities, too (though the second guy from the right, who I think is the Angry Video Game Nerd, isn’t as widely known as the others):

We’re still months away from Scribblenauts’ release — I imagine that artists and fans will produce hundreds more of these by the time the game hits shelves.

Papercraft model of WarioWare’s Kat. This presumably took more than five seconds to make. It’s a much more… accurate recreation than this cosplay from 2007. Of course, it’s a lot easier to faithfully model a character in paper than it is to cram a person in there.
