Give it up, Mags - it’s like asking a fish to stop swimming.

(ID: Kirby series fanart comic of Magolor and Marx having a typically heated conversation inside the Lor Starcutter. Top panel - Magolor hovers on our left, squinting in frustration with anger lines zigzagging from his head, one hand clenched in a fist at his side, the other pointing forward towards our right. He says, “Marx, if you keep making outdated meme references, I’m kicking you off my ship.” Bottom panel - Marx stands on our right, unbothered by the wizard’s threat, wearing a pair of sunglasses held in place with tape, sparkles flickering by his head. In alternating red and blue letters, he says, “That’s not very cash money of you.” END ID.)

I love how you draw galacta knight so elegant. He's graceful, angelic, but overpowering. The duality of the justice he was meant to serve and uninhibited, raw violence i love it sm

ahh yes thank you, you get it!

i think it's specifically important that he is so insanely elegant and pretty and also deadly haha. there's a line in one of my fics where bandee identifies some jungle plants as "far too beautiful to be anything but carnivores", and i think that really sums it up

#i do try to remember also that before galacta knight was this #he was *that*.#fallen hero of wonder. it's the arc he aims to bring about for kirby in awtdy #i don't know if i hc that he was ever especially Good or Nice or Altruistic #but i think a billion years of imprisonment can certainly make one extremely vengeful and very good at playing the game #you live too long and some things just stop feeling like consequences any more #oh also the caps on his wing joints are inspired by @veinsfullofstars! absolutely necessary addition to his armour imo #my art #galacta knight #awtdy au

Two babies lost in the wilderness lookin’ at pretty flowers. More at 11.

(ID: Kirby series fanart of @post-it-notes7’s Mir Galacta Knight sitting in a patch of flowery grass, his mask off and set just behind one of his wings, sparkles and highlights touching the edges of M!GK’s armor and horns. Shadow Kirby lays perched on top of his head between his horns, the both of them staring down in wide-eyed wonder at a glowing, sparkling cluster of Pop Flowers, tiny and pink and four-petaled in a firework-like burst of stems. END ID.)

I cannot express how much I adore the way you draw the Orbs, Post. Reading through your Mirrorverse stuff has been a treat so far, and I’m so curious about what’ll happen next in the story! I hope I managed to do your mirror warrior justice here. ⭐

Maybe you can love your friends too much…

(ID: Undertale fanart of Papyrus, Undyne, & Sans. In the top panel, they are standing side-by-side and posing confidently - Pap on our left with a wink and smile, his chest puffed out, one hand on his scarf and the other on his hip; Undyne in the middle grinning with a mouthful of sharp teeth and flexing her muscles; and Sans on the right doing a lazy finger gun with one hand, the other in his hoodie pocket. In the bottom panel, Undyne has scooped them both into a headlock - Pap bug-eyed and bent backward, Sans shrunk-eyed and lifted right off the ground - choking the life out of them with affection. END ID.)

I had this one sitting in the WIP folder for almost a year before I had the will to tackle it again - the woes of losing old files and redoing them from scratch, y'know. Also experimented with a messier shading style than I’m used to. I really like how soft and textured it is, but it takes forever with the brush I use, so it’s hard to say if I’ll keep doing it for other pieces. All in all, I kinda love how this turned out. Man, I miss these little guys.

At least he owns up to it.

(ID: Kirby series fanart comic of Ribbon hanging out with Dark Meta Knight and offering some criticism regarding his attitude, based on this incorrect quote. Transcript below the cut. END ID.)

Anything to draw more Wave 2 shenanigans. Thanks once again to @incorrect-star-allies for the inspo (seriously, reading these silly quotes always makes my day - if chronic fatigue wasn’t a thing, I’d be making so much more fanart for the things you post, haha.)

UPDATE: Added highlights 'cause I'm a dingus and forgot to add them before I posted.

Started 05/04/24, finished 05/10/24.

Transcript:

Panel 1

*Ribbon centered in frame from her midsection up, turned 3/4 towards our left, eyes shut and a hand held palm up as she speaks.*

R: Dark Meta Knight is not a morning person.

Panel 2

*Ribbon turns the opposite way, glancing towards our right with one brow furrowed, tapping her chin pensively with her other hand.*

R: Or a night person.

Panel 3

*Shot pans back to show Ribbon sitting on top of DMK’s head, leaning forward slightly to watch as he sits on the floor and hunches over a sharpening block, running the edge of a combat knife along the well-used stone.*

R: There’s really only about seven minutes a day that you’re fun to be around.

Panel 4

*DMK finishes his sharpening and sits up to inspect the blade, one eye shut, running a thumb along the now sparkling edge. Ribbon - not expecting the movement - starts to tumble backwards off his head, her eyes wide and pupils shrunk, arms and legs and wings spread out in surprise.*

DMK: The best part is you never know when they’re coming.

👑 Sworn Partners ⚔️

(ID: Kirby series fanart of King Dedede and Meta Knight being cute and in love. Top panel - bust shot of DDD scooping MK up into his arms, smooshing the flustered knight against him in a great big hug as a little flurry of hearts bursts from them. Middle panel - bust shot of DDD holding MK in his arms, gazing down at him with an easy grin as the knight pushes his mask to the top of his head, a fond smile on his face as he gazes back. Bottom panel - bust shot of DDD and MK leaning in together to meet in a kiss, eyes closed and faces flushed, the king holding his knight tighter, the knight gently cupping his king’s cheek. More little hearts hover around them, the biggest just above their heads. In all panels, DDD's crown and MK's armor are - as usual - touched with white highlights and dusted with sparkles. END ID.)

✨ A moment of leisure at the Fountain ✨

(ID: Kirby series fanart of King Dedede and Meta Knight in the Fountain of Dreams, the latter carrying the former across the water by his green-and-white-striped inner tube, the setting tinted in tones of purple and pink. The king laughs joyously with his arms held up in delight as he is dragged along the surface of the water, while the knight flaps his wings to keep them both aloft, gazing down at him through his mask with lidded eyes, possibly annoyed, possibly endeared. END ID.)

Inspired by the Friends' Getaway Celebration Picture from KSA.

"Still trying to intimidate me? Cute."

(ID: Kirby series fanart of Meta Knight and Galacta Knight based off of a couple dynamics template by @/ReddsMess on Twitter. Original template and source below the cut, as well as a HAL language variant. Top-left panel - high-angle shot of MK lit from above, standing firm and glaring up through his mask, his wings curled out and breaching the panel in places, subtitled "Well well..." Top-right panel - low-angle shot of GK lit from below, looming in the air and leering down through his mask, his wings curled out and his hands spread wide in challenge, both of which breach the panel in places, subtitled "Look who came to see me..." Bottom panel - MK & GK stand next to each other, the latter leaning towards the former and gently caressing the side of his mask with the back of one hand, grinning smugly and wrapping a wing around the knight, subtitled "My Knightmare." MK stands stiffly with his fists clenched at his sides, blushing vividly and glaring away from the warrior. A little flurry of white hearts emanate from GK, while one small one hovers above MK. END ID.)

Daroach: *slaps roof of DMK* This bad boy can fit so much salt in- *is soundly punted into the sun by DMK*

(ID: Kirby series fanart comic of Daroach and Dark Meta Knight having a snack break and being silly, based off of this incorrect quote. Transcript below the cut. END ID.)

I told myself this would just be a quick sketch. Y'know. Like a liar. Anyway, thank you for the inspo, @incorrect-star-allies! (I hope you don't mind that I took some liberties with the quote. ^^' I can never resist adding some extra characterization, haha.)

Transcript:

Panel 1

*DMK sits on the ground in his cape and armor, his mask tilted up to the top of his head as he prepares to take a bite out of a foil-wrapped burrito, one eye opened to glance towards our left. Daroach - holding up a container of strawberries in his paws - enters from our left and plops down beside the knight (SFX: POF).*

Daroach: Hey, sunshine! Whatcha eatin'? (Looks tasty!)

Panel 2

*DMK tilts his mask down as he chews, the burrito now turned to show a single bite taken out of it. Daroach turns his head to look slightly over the knight's shoulder, leaning heavily on one paw and idly digging into the container of strawberries set between his feet with the other.*

DMK: Eh, you wouldn't like it. It's really salty.

Panel 3

*Daroach turns back to lift a strawberry towards his open mouth, smiling smugly with his eyes shut and brows high.*

Daroach: Heh, y'sure about that? After all, I like you, don't I?

*DMK turns to squint at the thief through the visor of his mask, red lines of irritation shooting off from him in little zigzags.*

Your life’s a joke and I’m the punchline~

(ID: Super Paper Mario fanart of Dimentio in a variety of poses and expressions. Top left - smiling at the camera with his hands under his chin. Top right - cackling with the back of one hand to his mouth. Middle - grinning with a finger to his lips, a red spatter across his mask. Bottom left - floating with his legs crossed, the Dark Prognosticus open on his lap, a hand on his chin, humming curiously. Bottom middle - looming ominously and making grabby hands over the Chaos Heart. Bottom right - standing on tiptoe with one foot kicked back, looking at the viewer over his shoulder with a toothy grin, fingers crossed behind his back. END ID.)

Needed a break from another piece, so I pulled this from the WIP folder and banged it out in a couple days. We love a bastard clown man in this house.

You can't tell me their first meeting didn't go something like this.

(ID: Kirby series fanart of Dark Meta Knight and Daroach in a recreation of the Princess Mononoke "You're beautiful" meme. Original screenshot below the cut for comparison. Top panel - DMK hovers against a starry sky facing forward, his wings breaching the edges of the panel and spread to make himself look more intimidating. He glares down, one angry glowing eye visible in the visor of his mask, gripping the handle of his sword in both hands as if to stab downward, subtitled "I'll cut your throat! That'll shut you up!" Bottom panel - Daroach lies on his back at a slight angle on a nighttime grassy plain, his body and cape breaching the panel in places, his paws palm-up at his sides, his wand dropped beside him. He looks upward, unperturbed by the several sharp points of DMK's sword hanging over him, eyes half-lidded and brows lifted in interest, mouth drawn open in a smile and blushed at the ends, subtitled "You're beautiful..." Of course, every metal and/or shiny surface is lightly touched with rim light and sparkles. END ID.)

Transcript:

Panel 1

*DMK and DR sitting side-by-side enjoying some lunch together - a sandwich for the thief, a plate of spicy curry for the knight. DMK (his mask pushed up to the side of his head, bits of curry stuck to his face) idly eats his meal with a fork as DR picks up and scrutinizes a small bottle of hot sauce the knight had set aside, a brow raised in disappointment.*

DR: “Ultra spicy,” huh? Blech. How can you stand this stuff, Dark? Like, can you even taste anythin’ anymore? (Besides pain?)

Panel 2

DMK: Aw, c’mon, it’s not that bad. Here, want a bite~?

*setting his fork upright in the curry, DMK pushes his plate aside and turns towards DR with the most mischievous expression, reaching up to grab the collar of his cape. DR turns his head sharply, dropping the bottle and the sandwich, as the knight starts tugging him towards him.*

DR: What’re you-? Hey! No! No! Don’t you friggin’ dare, Dark, I swear to Nova-

Panel 3

*DMK stands up and yanks DR down towards his face, a hand clasped on the back of the thief’s head to hold him there. DR flinches (VFX: two large exclamation points), knocked off his feet and holding his paws out in surprise. A wisp of steam rises from between them, curling into a little pink heart at the top. Text reading “*Face-to-Face SFX*” hovers behind DMK.*

Panel 4

*DR jerks away from DMK, red-faced and doubled over in pain, his eyes squeezed shut and his tongue hanging out with a fresh red burn on the end, steam emitting from his face in puffs. He frantically fans at his mouth with one paw while shoving DMK away with the other.*

DR: (breaking the dialogue bubble in places) AAGH!! Ow! Star-burnin’ son-of-the-void what is wrong with you piece a’- aaaughh dammit stars dammit ow ow ow ow!!

*DMK cackles, leaning away with one arm held up against the rat’s pushing paw, one eye shut and mouth stretched open in a wide smile, a single incisor prominent within and a touch of blush at the corner. Text reading “HA HA HA HA HA HA HA” hovers behind him surrounded by laugh lines.*

"These are few of my fav-or-ite things~"

(ID: Kirby series fanart sketches of some of my fav characters from the games, including battle-ready Meta Knight, mirrored Dark Meta Knight, and majestic Galacta Knight; Marx in his jester form, his winged form, and the screaming head of his Soul form; and Magolor in standard form, Shopkeeper form, Interdimensional form, and Traitor form. Also included is a little bust of my goblin 'sona getting a big ol' hug from Kirby. END ID.)

These were originally part of an ask from @/starflungwaddledee on my old account. Sadly, I forgot to save my response before I deleted everything, so this is all that's left. (This is why you always save your work, kids - and makes dupes whenever you can.) There might still be reblogs of the old post floating around, though, so, if anyone sees it, maybe let me know so I can reblog it here for archival reasons.

Dream Land at sunset… 🌅

(ID: Kirby series fanart of Dedede & Meta Knight enjoying a moment to themselves on a hill at sunset. In the top panel, the king faces our right with the sun setting majestically behind him on a flower-dotted hill, leaning back on one hand, the other slapped on his forehead as he lets out great peals of laughter - presumable at one of his own jokes. In the bottom panel, the knight sits facing our left on the night-shrouded side of the hill, leaning back on his hands with his feet kicked out, his mask set aside as he looks toward the viewer - presumably at Dedede - with a small, fond smile and a soft blush on his face. END ID.)

Alternate title: stoic blueberry pines after birdbrain ex-husband, more at eleven. Alternate alternate title: Veins cannot for the life of them decide on a shading style they like.
