This fanart is so powerful that it seems to have crushed the Warp Pipe forums under the weight of its own pile of Diggs. We can understand why-- we've certainly been enjoying staring at it for a few hours.
The full image is after the break, but even in the detail shown above, you can see the insane shading and dynamic movement that make Neo-Geo Forums user hermegildo's drawing so compelling. Faced with a dead Peach and a slavering, hulking Bowser, the usually-jovial Mario abandons his "Okey-dokey"s and flies into battle, fireballs blazing. It completely, awesomely rejects the mood of the Mario series.
[Thanks, Jason!]

Is that Giga Bowser? If so, that's some fine work.
Simply amazing.

Put a soccerball somewhere in that picture, and that would just be another piece of Strikers boxart
still a good picture, though

They should make Giga Bowser his permanent form. It's way cooler. But it might be too close to beast-Ganon.
