These were made over the course of the beginning month or two of Synergy Collection's creation before I started publishing it here but since I've opened up a bit to showing more "conceptual" works and because I feel these are too good to leave out for much longer.

I absolutely adored Five Nights at Mario's' pause screens at the time as if the game wasn't already charming enough. It still is one of my absolute favorite pause screens of any video game so I decided to make a sort of spiritual successor to the pause screens using various characters from different PMD projects, expanding on the charm I felt with how the characters surround the borders and having a dynamic background based on the time of day.
