Back on my portrait with jewels bullshit, can you believe I didn't have one of Kelis yet?
Kirbtober day 7 : Copy ability
Okay, I spent way too much time on this one, but it was really funny to make. All regular copy ability, and some final boss ones are in this picture, minus one. Can you find wich ? And also a shadow kirby because why not.
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
Zero two with lyrics comic - part 3, based on the work of @manontheinternet
(Part 1)
(Part 2)
Back with four others pages ! This takes sooo long... Anyways, the first panel was one I wanted to do the most, and I like how it turned out ! I wanted to do kinda the same thing showing corruption on the next panel, but it would had been a bit difficult to read.
Also, this is 0² first appearance in the 3rd panel. Yes, after 13 pages, whereas this is literally his song. But, hey, we're getting closer and closer the final fight !
Zero two with lyrics comic - part 2, based on the work of @manontheinternet
(Part 1 here)
(Part 3 here)
The serious things begins ! The challenge for this part (and the rest of the song) was to combine narration and illustration. I could have illustrated each sentence separately, but it would lack continuity. So I decided to draw the last level and the boss just before the actual fight with zero two. This way I could also include miracle matter, who was mentioned in the lyrics. Not for too long though ! I absolutely had to put a precise element in the next panel, so RIP, i guess. This last page was the hardest to do, between the tape to protect the white areas and the composition. But i think it's also my favorite so far, with the one with the eyes !
Wanted to try and give Gooey some clothes that suit him better. Really love the concepts at the bottom
Adult Ath from Radiant Historia (Perfect Chronology)
I've finished the game recently, and I really liked it ! I've seen lot of flaws in it too, including the sexualisation of female characters. Like. Come on. Ath is 9 ! Can you just give her a shirt ?
So here's a redesign, imagining her older, more dressed, and with a red scarf that remind her of a certain someone...
Kirbtober day 14 : Miracle
I never played kirby 64, but I still find this boss interesting. Now, I know what an icosaedron is ! I had to bring out my old dice of 20 for the model. Even with that I'm not drawing this kind of geometric shape ever again.
When I say "I can’t beleive Kirby air riders is coming on switch 2", I mean it. I actually didn't watched the nintendo direct, and when i saw the announcement, it was via an account sharing the trailer on insta. I was straight up persuaded that it was a late april’s fool i didn’t saw yesterday. At the middle of the video, i was like "still, it’s really good for a fan-made trailer… maybe it’s true". And then i saw the « directed by Masahiro Sakurai » banner, and my honest reaction was "Ok guys, you had me for a moment here, but you really lost all credibility with this one. There’s no way it’s true !"
Kirbtober day 15 : Cutscene redraw
I decided to go with this cutscene from return to dream land... And WTF append with the colors ? I tried a blue-ish light effect, but I don't really like the result. Well, guess you can't like everything you do...
Kirbtober day 5 : Royal
Dedede is a king, yeah, but don't forget Fluff ! He is a prince to ! Also, yarn kirby is too cute not to draw
