Colors Gallery, meet MARIplushBIGshow
@MARIplushBIGshow is here to us their obivous love of OMORI, vocaloids, and their charming artwork! It's time to put on a show-- let's get to know them!
@MARIplushBIGshow it's time to put on a show! Tell us all about YOU! Who're you and what should we know?
"Thank you for choosing me as the 85th Weekly Artist!I’m really proud of this.Let’a start!
Hello! I’m Marty, a young italian student with an artistic passion, who’s dream is to become an internet Idol!"
WAL-CHAN by MARIplushBIGshow
I'm not 100% sure but something tells me that you're more than just a casual fan of OMORI! Besides the obvious OMORI influence what else inspires your works? I'm a fan of how you do your lineart and your coloring too. What's your process?
Yes! You’re perfectly right: I’m OMORI’s biggest fan! I’m not sure either how my lineart and coloring works since everything that comes in my mind gets sketched on my console. Everything you see posted by me is just like an experiment! I don’t really know what I’m doing. I just really trust in the process!"
(A) DREAM WORLD? by MARIplushBIGshow
Happy-slightly-over-a-year-in-the-Colors-Gallery anniversary! It's always a pleasure coming across unique and talented artist in the gallery such as yourself! How did you discover our humble community? What's been your biggest highlights so far?
"I discovered Colors Live in 2022,after my aunt gifted me this game for Christmas!"
1st Colors Live Anniversary Votes by MARIplushBIGshow
More on your process... What other mediums or software do you use? How does Colors Live fit into it? And is there anything from other apps/software you'd want to see implemented in Colors Live in the future?
"Surprisingly I don’t use any other apps or software besides Colors Live and Ibis Paint X.
And talking about future implements, I would really love to have added a “Effects” button,where you choose which effects the drawing must have! Such as Glitch or maybe Blur."
Your artwork is really cute with such bold lines and colors! Which ones would you say you're the most proud of? Which ones have pushed and taught you the most?
"The artworks that I’m really proud of are mainly of my two main OCs, Andy and Anby,loved by a lot of my fans! Which are also the two characters that pushed me and taught me the most.

3)NURSE❤️MOMIJI by ohinasan_0173
Who're your most favorite members of our community and how do they inspire you? What about outside of Colors Live?
"I ABSOLUTELY love @madwurmz.com artworks!They have such a realistic styl that sometimes I forget that they’re not pictures,but actual drawings. Outside Colors Live of course it’s gotta be OMOCAT,the creator of OMORI!"
LUCE AND TOONBRIEL by MARIplushBIGshow
OMORI has such a cute art style yet the themes are very deep and not for the faint of heart. Is that what you like about it? What else do you like? How does it relate to you?
"OMORI has always been a part of me,ever since it’s launch!I admire psychological horror games,as they usually tend to “hide” the monsters.A completely different genre from the classic Horror."
"As can be seen,I try to study OMORI’s artstyle since I think it’s pretty good and unique.
In a way that OMORI can be related to me is from the character MARI,a perfectionist,often finding for perfection."
What goals and plan do you have for the future?
"My goals for the future are to become a YouTuber/Vtuber-Streamer! Imagine seeing my OCs on T-shirts or Hoodies. Hehe!"
Vtuber WALMARTY by MARIplushBIGshow
What're 3 life changing tips you can provide or what important quote do you keep close to your heart that gets you through the day?
“After the rain,the sun always shines brighter.”
What's a random but interesting fact about you that not much people know?
"That I’m a talented artist!"
PATSUNE RIKU by MARIplushBIGshow
Your #WalMartysOCs are all so incredibly cute! Do you have any lore for them or do you just create whatever comes to mind?
"I would be lying if I said I don’t do both. I first create whatever comes in my mind, then I sketch it down and create a lore for them!"
Soda Girl and Kawaii Demon by MARIplushBIGshow
What do you do if you get burnout?
"Whenever I get a burnout,I try my best to relax and take some time for myself.Sometimes,in these kind of events,something good always happens!"
I see you seem to be a vocaloid fan. Who're your favorite vocaloids? If you could design one what would they be like?
"Yes,I love Vocaloids!Ever since I was a kid,I listened to Vocaloid songs,even tho I couldn’t really understand the lyrics,hehe…"
"I love all Vocaloids,as they each have an unique design and vocals.But if I had to choose they would probably be Megurine Luka,KAITO,GUMI and Fukase!"
"And yes,I have already a Vocaloid OC ready! Her name is Rure Yakamitashi,having a gray,cyan,red and black color palette,alongside with her pet/food melon,MELON-CHAN!"
felt silly by MARIplushBIGshow
Nature, nurture, or a mix of both?
"Nature,of course!"
Anyone you want to shout-out?
"I wanna thank the community,the people who follow me and the people that will follow me!""
"See you in the next Weekly Artist!"
