I wish that I had enough drawing skills to do this, but:

Imagine obese (morbidly so) versions of Mario and Pikachu. Both with blood on their mouths, and faces that strongly remind Goya's "Saturn Devouring His Son". Mario holds half of the body of a dead Tanzee (a Palworld pal), and is strongly implied to be eating it; Pikachu does it with the Yuzu logo, or something else.

There are only three things written in the whole picture.

  • Top right corner: Nintendo's logo.
  • Centre bottom: "we were starving", followed by "私たち二人は飢えていました。" (ditto; might as well check the grammar as I don't speak JP, I used a machine translator).

Sounds like a prompt for generative AI to sink its teeth into.

edit: Here's a starting point if someone with photochop skills wants to bring it to the finish line.

I tried GenAI. It simply doesn't get the vibe right, as it makes both Mario and Pikachu a bit too cheerful and tries to make the picture a bit too dynamic.

I'm trying to trace the characters over to see if I can output a somewhat decent sketch. At least to give people an idea of what I mean.
