Could you draw Susi of Kirby planet robobot? please

Susie of Kirby Planet Robobot, just for you @candyglumboy!

Susie is an ice cold businesswoman, and a fellow lover of ice cream. What more could you want from a woman?

(I really should draw her more, so thanks for giving me the excuse!)

[stupidgalaxybrain]

could you draw Marx and/or Gooey? they're so silly to me <3 (also I just found your account and your art is so cute oh my word)

Why not both @tazmilygray?

Don't know why they'd want to take the perfect jumping photo, but I thought it'd be cute! Because Marx and Gooey are both part of Wave 1 in Star Allies I can totally imagine them hanging out, and these pictures are taken by Rick in my head to tie it all together.

Thanks so much for the request (and if anyone else wants to send one in, my requests info is still pinned on my blog and fully open)

First Meeting - Part Two

The thought that Meta Knight had a whole rebellion planned for a guy he knew about second-hand is just too good to pass up, and it creates the tense “working” relationship I imagine them having in the beginning. They both assume the worst of each other, and want to keep tabs on whatever stupid thing they’ll get up to next. It’s not until a certain Nightmare enters the picture where they work together for real instead of trying to play 5D chess mind games. 

I can’t wait to see what else people come up with this week! I broke my ass trying to get this out in time, but it was worth it! (I swear, all of my comics are either Metadede, heavy lore, or both lol)

First Meeting - Part One

I’ve seen plenty of ways Meta Knight and King Dedede met, but for me I always thought it would be funny if Revenge of Meta Knight happened before they knew each other. This part is mostly context for the second, so the real meat is in the next one.

ALSO: While this is an entry for Metadede Week, I will not be doing the rest, at least not on time like this (obviously; this took three straight days of work). Part Two will be posted immediately after this one.

We're reactivating the art request machine! The same guidelines as before, but otherwise, ask away!

So I know I tangentially mentioned I'm willing to take art requests on another post, but I've been meaning to make an official announcement for some time. As long as you follow the guidelines, any Kirby game request is yours! (Though, extra clarification: No OCs for now because those aren't in the games)

My ask box is open and ready!

The longer I go between doing a journal touch-up, the more I end up changing from the original page. By far this one has the most dialogue adjustments, including getting rid of Kirby's dialogue which felt ooc (For the bad dialogue, not necessarily speaking on its own). Anyway- Dark Matter! Like nearly everything in this franchise I've got thoughts, and some of them are on display here, like Blade being kind of a dork. And with Gooey, I HC his eyes look different directions because he has to concentrate harder to focus them after having one eye for so long. If he's really tired they'll start to melt together. I also imagine Gooey stowed Blade away after KDL2 because who would suspect Gooey would hide anything? It's the perfect plan.

Transcript and Original:

Dark Matter Blade, possessing DDD: Is this... friendship?

Waddle Dee: Great King, you've been awfully quiet- Are you snoring?

Blade, about to get his ass handed to him: I bet I look so cool right now

Zero's Top 2 Least Favorite Kids

Blade - Failed 1st invasion

Gooey - Literally helped kill Zero

*Honorable mention to all of Zero's kids in general

-

Gooey: Aw geez, Kirby, think we could stop for a snack?

Kirby: Ice cream? (I guess they've got some on hand lol)

-

ChuChu: What do ya got there?

Gooey: A smoothie. (He has more than a smoothie.)

The grand finale of this set of redraws! I think the changes I made to this one (of which there are... many) really reflect how I've changed my opinion on Squeak Squad as a whole. The fandom likes to joke the plot is a hot mess, and I've decided to take that hot mess and overanalyze it for myself until I like it. Now it's less about Kirby punching people over cake, and more a story about misunderstandings and the horrible things that can come from them. It's still ridiculous, but I wouldn't be a Kirby fan if I didn't enjoy a little silliness.

[stupidgalaxybrain]

Ah, the classic. Meta Knight and Dark Meta Knight have big sibling energy to me, and as an elder sibling myself, I would flip off my younger brother from my mirror prison too. Of the four redraws I just worked on, this one has changed the least compositionally because I think the original is perfect in that arena. Honestly as nice as it looks when given more than an hour and a half, it's kinda lost it's wonky charm. Well, the original still exists.

Original below:

#mykirbyart #kirby #kirby and the amazing mirror #meta knight #dark meta knight #I FORGOT TO MENTION IT IN THE POST BUT IT'S VERY SPECIFIC SO IN THE TAGS IT GOES #I didn't fully realize at the time how incremental DMK's design differences were introduced #During KATAM he's only a palette swap #Triple Deluxe introduces the mask scar #And his wings aren't ragged until Star Allies #I've since decided to mirror (ha) that progression and so right now he doesn't have either of those features #I promise I didn't forget what he looks like it's all intentional

[stupidgalaxybrain]

collaborative effort with my friend @spacethatsit to create kirby/phantom of the opera (book) crossover. please enjoy

#this post is targeting me SPECIFICALLY I- #what are the chances of someone referencing the book with Kirby characters I am absolutely flabbergasted #is meta knight still an absolute beast with a lasso or what? #not mine #reblog

[stupidgalaxybrain]

This one... when looking at it comparted to the original I actually had to pause. This isn't even my favorite redraw, but it's always such a nice feeling knowing how much better you can do now compared to then. Not to mention I completely overhauled the composition because the floor in the original was a straight line.

(Also, I know Dedede isn't wearing any shirt during K64, but I've decided he starts wearing one here.)

[stupidgalaxybrain]

stupidgalaxybrain, back at it again with the redraw series.

Kirby's Dream Land 3 is one of the most beautiful games in the series, so I wanted this redraw to look more "painterly" instead of using my normal style. I also wanted to give more focus to the Love-Love Stick (aka one of the best proper nouns in history). My favorite detail I added this time was the glow turning the Hyper Zone from it's normal colors to the more cheerful Boss Butch look!

Original below:

[stupidgalaxybrain]

If there's one thing I'm proud of as an artist, it's the fact I'm a style chameleon. I decided to sit down and recreate 4 artists I really love, and who better to do it with than with the most varied character in the entire franchise: King Dedede! This isn't just for appreciation though, but a study on how other people translate DDD's design, since character design is a passion of mine!

Let's start with @miniiieevee!

Oh my gosh their art is super great, and I think the most important part of getting the style right was the sparkles. I have never seen someone do highlights this way, and it's both super recognizable and super cute! For the King himself, we have a nice round beak, visibly blue eyes, a distinct head, pointed crown jewel, an undershirt, and stripes along the top of the belt. Like most of us, they use the (owo) kind of mouth and really fluff up the coat. Separate fingers can also show up for posing, following Spongebob physics. The stitching on the gloves and the little round eyebrows are another really cool touch! Out of all of the styles I looked at, this one has the most pastel colors.

-

Next is @das-a-kirby-blog!

Das-a-kirby-blog has such a cool variety in their work, from really shapey sketches to super abstracted color schemes, which while super amazing, didn't provide me the best ref material. The colors here are frankensteined from a few sources, so I hope they capture their actual base color palette. They go for the pin-shaped route for body shape, with the undershirt (though sometimes there's no under layer), typically black eyes, extra belt stripes, and a chunky diamond shaped crown jewel. My favorite touch is the cottonball on the crown. Like I said at the top, they excel at shapes in their art!

-

Third is @jojo-schmo!

I've been silently reading their roleswap comic, but I should've been loudly reading it because I super recommend it! I'd also say design wise their Dedede is the most unique! Besides myself they're the only one here to pick the kimono, they have a single blue stripe at the top of the belt, a triangular jewel, and the coolest element of the style, spirals! I've not seen anyone stylize the trim this way, and it's so cool in execution. Another unique element that really adds to certain expressions is the spiky teeth (which matches real life penguins! ...Don't look it up).

-

Last but not least, @cosmicwhoreo!

God, their art is everything. The flow of the lines is so clean and smooth and everything they draw is super expressive. Their Dedede is by far the hugest, and also marks the 4/5 DDDs with a separate head, and 3/5 with black eyes. We have the belt stripes, occasionally a shirt, and a smooth tear drop jewel, but a uniquely shaped crown band. This design sees a lot of influence from the anime unlike the others here, so the color scheme is the most unique.

-

As a conclusion, it's really cool to see all the different design elements that we pick and choose for DDD. Some give him his smash outfit. Some people give him a body type closer to K64 or KATFL. Some people draw his eye color, or separate eyebrows, and others don't. There's no detail that's the same across every version, but they're all our lovable king. If you don't recognize one of these artists, check them out! I can only do a fraction of the incredible work they do, and let me know if there's any other characters or artists you'd like to see this exercise with!

Happy Birthday Meta Knight! I'm too busy right now to make a special post, so I'll just reblog this. So many anniversaries happen in March, but I won't miss my fav's!

"Hey check out this cool sword I found in space"

Drew a better picture of Meta Knight for my profile picture. I just love doing cool lighting and outer space effects.

Btw I cannot believe I predicted Manager Magolor. It's not even the fact I knew if he'd wear a hat he'd still have the hood on (and it's the same type of hat lol), but I also got correct him tying his bowtie into the front of his collar thing.

Like I can't stop thinking about it. HAL should hire me.

"This charming rogue magician arrives from Kirby’s Return to Dream Land with a wink and something up his sleeve." - Kirby Star Allies

For "magical" I decided to bring in our trio of magicians: Wiz, Squashini, and of course, Magolor. I love putting the characters with clothes into different outfits, and I hope the look I gave Magolor here works! As I was drawing, I realized I wanted this to take place in the 100% Cutscene theatre (sort of) but I didn't have the time nor energy to put anyone in the seats, so let's just say they're rehearsing something for later.

This entire... comic? Is entirely off topic from my last post but a. I've been in a lore mood and b. I've been sick with the worst cold of my life and this has been sitting unfinished for months, so I might as well treat myself.

I have a bajillion feelings about the Mirror World and how it works, and I decided to put some of those thoughts into this "guide", both in the content, and the state Shadow Kirby finds it in...

This also might be a part one to something or it might not. We'll see. Let me know if you want to here me gush about this because I could write whole essays, but this format is marginally more interesting.
