Here it is (warning, big image):

EDIT: Version 1 - with Bowser portraits
Version 2 - without Bowser portraits
Yeah I kindda tried not to hide the face in version 1 but it didn't look very well...
Screenshots (smaller version 1 and 2):

Spoiler: show

The archive contains a big and a small (experimental) version of the BG.

You can however copy a specific background part from Bowser (well, those bricks at the wall without the pillars) and then paste it on Bowser's Pictures so you won't see them. Well, that is what I am doing on Paint.NET.

This looks very nice and I really like this, even it looks very big.

Actually when you put it in SMBX, the pillars size was intended. I wanted it to be like: "Hey look it's the final boss' castle! It's giant!" and maybe put a Bowser with an appropriate size in it, yes?

Oh. I understand now. Still it looks very nice for a background like that.

Now they look way better. Very good work with those backgrounds.

So many pillars. So many. That aside, I love the look of this! The conflicting styles of castles kind of irk me, though.

Isn't pillars... important, for a Castle? Without them it would of crash this Castle very easily, right? :P

No, I'm just saying that the pillars in the farthest-most background kind of clash with the others. The two foremost pillars are smooth in texture, while the Bowser's Castle pillars are made of bricks.

I like the whole "transition from grey to green" idea, though. It's got merit.
