“I could steal a million stars, but what’s it to me? Can’t take back a wish once it’s made.”

thought i'd also include the static image, due to the amount of crunch added by the .gif! in this case i don't even mind it tbh; it works for him i think. he can be a little crunchie

colours!!:3

kirbtober day 15 - arts and crafts

paintra is easily my favorite of the non final kirby bosses

Kirbtober day 8: Phantom

S1lLy g0oB3r

Very silly indeed...

Kirbtober day 7: Copy ability

Today's stars of the show are Artist, Animal, Cupid, and the lesser known Mini!

I Had a lot of fun with this one... I could've gone on and on and on...

Alternative versions of each copy ability! Yay! For cupid and artist, there's no lighting because... meh, I'm lazy, but hey, at least it's something

Kirbtober day 5 and 6: Royal and Ancient

Uhhh... this one was... well... to put it lightly, I'm tired (as usual), and I should probably draw at earlier times to avoid being tired and put in all my effort... nah, I'm too lazy to redo this, even if it is.... well... not as good as it could've been

Kirbtober day 4: Headcannon

For this one, I was not tired or lazy and instead, went all out!

I even experimented with a cool little iconic watermark of my own, some posts it may be there, others, it won't, the design might even change, who knows, only time can tell

Now for a cool little quote I had in mind while making this: "don't aspire to be better than someone else, instead, aspire to be better than yourself, better than you were yesterday" I thought of that because when I was younger, my drawings were ATROCIOUS, but I was happy with them and I kept drawing, now here I am! Always believe in yourself, everyone supports you, and the people who don't are just jealous ✨️

Kirbtober day 3: Song

My favorite kirby songs are split between those three, because they're in the same game and I am most certainly not making 2 different artworks for planet robobot and triple deluxe, so yea >:3

p.s. don't mind what's happening with the chains, I'm still very lazy and tired

Kirbtober day 2: Revenge

Yeah, I was indeed being lazy cuz it's pretty late for me and I'm tired, so yep

Kirbtober day 1: Dream

I would never miss kirbtober for the world ❤️ 💙 💜

Anyway, happy kirbtober and happy October! 🎃

It's-a Spooky Month!

Kirb/Inktober - Day 11: Favorite character

Kirb/Inktober - Day 2: Revenge

KIRBTOBER 2024

Day 1: Dream

Not ship

It's 10pm, my back hurts and I don't think I'll continue with this.

Yippee!!

Kirbtober day 31 : Darkness

" Darkness has its place just as much as light […]. For the stars sparkled twice as bright in the depths of space ! " (Kirby mass attack)

AKA kirby hugs everything, including the embodiment of darkness, because he's a pure soul of poyo.

Would you belive me if I said I wasn't inspired at first for the word of the day ? But, hey, I love how it turned out ! I used a mix of watercolors for the background and acrylics for the characters and the stars. It had some strange effects, like the watercolor poping out of a -supposedly- waterproof layer of acrylic.

This kirbtober was really fun to make ! I started it at the end of jully, and I finished the last drawing yesterday. What a trip ! I probably won't do it next year, or at least not the kirby-themed one. It was a great way to start posting things online !

Also, I saved a picture of just the background :

Kirbtober day 30 : Soul

I noticed there where a big lack of Morpho in my kirbtober. I imagine him as some sort of guardian of the souls ? You can even recognise some characters butterly-ified. Can you guess who is who ?

Kirbtober day 29 : Treat

Sometimes, I want to draw epic scenes and cosmic battles. And other times, I just want to give our favorite little blob some candy to share with his friends. He deserve it

Kirbtober day 28 : Final boss

No matter what you're drawing, if it has a black background, it become instantly 10 time cooler. And I added some glitter too ! The real fight for me was to no put it everywhere in my room

Kirbtober day 27 : Control

At first, I wasn't planning on making gijinkas for the kirbtober, but this image was stuck in my head, and I had to let it out. I love imagining the master crown's spirit his a little evil gremlin.

Bonus : The gold is shiny !

Kirbtober day 26 : Moon

It's tarot card day ! I made a list of wich kirby character should be associated with wich tarot arcana a while ago, and it's finaly time to use it. Meannings and interpretation of the card under the cut !

The arcana of the moon means dream, inconscious and illusions. I associated it with the dark matter species, with the idea of inners fears and darkness. It's not the most fitting card, but it's actually hard to find an arcana that's only negative in the tarot system. So, here it is, if you have others ideas, feel free to share !

Also, this card is usually connected with the second major arcana, the hight prietress. She is supposed to be the guardian of the secrets of the moon. In my kirby tarot interpretation, she is represented by the fairy queen... Who is precisely hiding the fact that she's possed by 02. (She has other connections with this arcana, but i think this post is long enough has it already is.).

Maybe I'll do the rest of the cards someday, but first, I'll finish the kirbtober !

Kirbtober day 25 : Epilogue

Ok, with this one I went straight up to "How many biblical symbolism can I put in a kirby drawing ?" and the answer is quite a lot. Meanings under the cut, if you're interested

Ok, so first of all, I a not christian, I made recherches for this drawing but I'm not a expert. Don't hesitate to correct me if I'm worng !

I went with the most known figure of a repentant sinner, Mary Magdalene. She is an ancient prostitute who latter became one of the most close friend of Jesus. She have a lot of attributes I couldn't put here without making it look strange (like long hair, a human skull or a ointment jar), but I managed to show some.

For exemple, it is said that Jesus made "7 devils" go out of her. Still, it's unclear if those devils are symbolising deaseses or sins. Anyway, that's the reason I put 7 frut fragments insted of the 5 you have to get in the game.

Also, her two main color are the red and the green. What is interesting with those is that they can represent vitality and rebirth (respectively), but in the same time they are associated with the devil.

The thorns represent sins, with the apples gems to reinforce this idea, and add some red.

The tower represent spiritual elevation, and is inspired by the architectural elements we can see in the hub of magolor epilogue. The color of the sky behind have the same signification. The bottom is dark, while the top is more blue, blue being the color of spiritual enleignmant. And also the purple and gold relief behind magolor is here to mimic an aureole. So he is litteraly rising from the darkness toward the light.

And lastly, during my reserches, I learned that the colors of wears associated with repentence are brown and grey. Yep, I didn't even had to change that. Coincidence ? Who knows ! Hal seems to love putting obscure meanings where you expect it the least

Kirbtober day 24 : Another dimension

I had already drawn another dimension in the cutescene redraw day. So here, Magolor is trying to explain kirby lore to kirby (he probably won't get it the first time). Elfilin is here to help too !

Kirbtober day 23 : Wish

"I just wished to see her one last time..."

Kirbtober day 22 : Ship

It's a ship... On a (space)ship ! Of course, I had to this bad joke, sorry

Kirbtober day 21 : Rival

Of course, the two best frennemies for today ! I tried to use color pencils to achieve a more comic book effect for this one. I like the result, althought I coudn't make the background as smooth as with watercolors. Maybe I sould try to mix the two next time ?

Kirbtober day 20 : Retro

Retro gaming session with friends ! Carreful Gooey, Fluff is gonna lose a live if you move like that !

Kirbtober day 19 : AU

Does the dreamy gear series count as an AU ? I mean, it's technically a steampunk universe, right ? It's also a good excuse to draw Elfilin with a little cape and a hat !

Kirbtober day 18 : Mirror

Just a little Taranza and dark Taranza for today !

Kirbtober day 17 : Galaxy

I wasn't really inspired for this one. I just thought : Galacta… Galaxy… That's close, let's just fuse the two together. Although, I like how it turned out without lineart

Kirbtober day 16 : Overgrown

I think you can gess it now, but I did almost all my kirbtober drawings way to in advance. And this one. Took me. So. Much. Time.

This time I think I succeed with the blue light effect. And also I managed to make Sectonia's details almost 100% accurate to how she appear in the games.

Everything for my first and favorite final boss !
