Bowser is the leader and most powerful of the turtle-like Koopa race and Mario’s arch-nemesis. The PhotoShopped work is rich in details and I think it successfully captures Bowser’s mean, threatening demeanor perfectly.

hmmm. i'll have to disagree with your title lourdes. what is "humanized" about this? This is making them "realistic", but there's no human connection. The other toons u mention inside looked like a human, with human looking body parts. what kind of human is this, lol
