No Marios Allowed! The Art Of Ashley Davis

Travis Touchdown! - No More Heroes  (Via)

Ashley Davis' style definitely brings me back to 80's era anime styles, with it's emphasis on chibi exaggeration. Her active Tumblr, simply dubbed as No Mario's Allowed is a factory of tribute, cranking out tons of iconic characters from the last few generations of gaming in her very own, distinct style.

What I appreciate the most about Ms. Davis is the fact that she shies away from the mainstream characters, preferring to shine the spotlight on memorable characters forgotten by time, with some exceptions of course. Check out more of her awesome work after the break!
